Switch and jumper settings
Switch settings
DIP switches in the ADAM-4541 converter modules set
the data format (number of bits) and baud rate for the
ADAM network. You can configure the other modules in
the network via software commands. Your program and
the PC's serial port should match the settings of the
converter and repeater modules.
SW1
Switch 1 controls the data format. Data can be 9, 10,
11 or 12 bits. The factory default is 10 bits: one start
bit, eight data bits, no parity bit and one stop bit.
When using the converter in combination with other
ADAM modules, do not change the default setting,
because ADAM modules have a fixed data format of
ten data bits. The option of changing to 9, 11 or 12 bits
is for use with other modules (other than ADAM
modules) that have different data formats. Should you
change the ADAM module's data format, be aware that
you will also have to change the data format settings
on all the other modules in the network.
SW2
Switch 2 sets the baud rate. The options range from
1200 bps to 115.2 kbps. The factory default is 9600
bps. Be aware that when you change the baud rate,
you also have to change the baud rate for all the
connected modules accordingly. If the RS-232/422
mode is ON, the baud rate does not need to be set.

Default settings
Both modules are not addressable by the host
computer. The baud rate and data format must be set
using SW1 and SW2 located inside the module. The
default settings are:
