4.1  Serial Communications: 
MJ1: (RS-232 / RS-485) Use for Cscape programming and 
 Application-Defined Communications. 
MJ2: (RS-232 / RS-485) Use for Application-Defined 
Communications. 
As seen when looking at the
 side of the XL6 unit: 
The  DIP  Switches  are  used  for 
termination of the RS-
485 ports. The 
XL6 is shipped un-terminated. 
To  terminate, select  one  of  the  DIP 
Switches and configure it based upon 
the option that is desired.
