Changing the Mode of Output Out1
In order to use output 
Out1 as powered output, you need to stick 
the jumper on the jumper pins at the right as shown in the figure. 
The other jumper will be used in the future and must 
not be used 
at present. When connecting, use the terminals 
Out1 A and Out2 –
Please note that the total output rating of the MX-232-IO-Box is 
split between the two powered outputs in this mode (see 
Specifications»). In this mode, the max. cable length for 
Out1 is 
also 50 m (55 yd).
Output Out1: 
Operating mode can switched to 
"powered output" using the supplied 
jumper!
