The 232SS2 supports the following RS-232 signals: TD, RD, SG,
RTS, CTS, DSR, DCD, and DTR.
The Smart Switch selects port A as the default port at power up.
Serial Data Configuration
In order for the host device that is connected to the master port
to select any of the four ports, the Smart Switch must be set to
match the host's communication format.  Dipswitch “SW1” is used to
select the communication format of the Smart Switch. Switch
positions 1 through 3 select the baud rate. Switch position 5 selects
7 or 8 data bits. Switch position 6 determines if parity is enabled or
disabled.
NOTE:  A data format of 7 data bits, no parity and one stop is 
not allowed.
