Matching the cable to peripherals
The cable is configured in the factory for attachment of a computer (printed in bold).
The following protocol must be set at the peripheral device: 2400 baud, 7 bits, even parity, CTS/DTR.
If other devices need to be attached or work is performed with a different communications protocol, the cable must be
appropriately configured using the 3 switches.
