are to be used with KVM switches that are not manufactured by Adder

Stage A - Configuration switch settings
The basic operation of the LOCAL and REMOTE modules are controlled by the
banks of four switches located on the side of each module. The switches are
monitored at all times and may be changed when power is on or off (the only
exception to this rule is switch 1 of the LOCAL module which initiates slightly
different functions depending on the power state when it is switched).
