6. 1 Introduction In addition to this manual your Switch package should contain one standard switch unit and a wallmounted power supply After you ve unpacked the Switch take a few minutes to look through this manual You will need a screwdriver large enough to remove the case screws and a small screwdriver or other edged tool for setting DIP switches Also you might want to refer to the manuals of the devices you plan to connect to the COS II Installing the COS II is a simple three step task that should take no more than an hour to complete First you ll configure all of the DIP switches for the internal options of the COS IT Then you ll specify DTE or DCE for each port by setting shunt jumpers Finally you ll cable the Switch to your devices and connect power to the COS II 3 2 Setting the DIP switches In order to set the DIP switches you ll need to open the case of the COS II There are several screws on each side Remove them and lift the case lid from the body of the COS II The board layout of your unit should match the diagram shown below Fig 1 BACK IMI ore DCE E ore E gt J7 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO0 O000000000000000 O SYSTEM SWITCHES SWF amp SWG PORT 4 PORT 3 PORT 2 PORT 2 E ore E oce U23 RESET BUTTON 9 S1 INDIVIDUAL PORT SWITCHES PORT 1 PORT 0 SW SW O nda a STATUS INDICATORS CHO CH1CH2CH3CH4CH5CH6CH7CH8 PWR FRONT Fig 3 1 Boar
