2.5 - Jumper Settings
In the Modbus slave confi guration, jumpers JP2 and 
JP3 control the Modbus format (RTU or ASCII) and the 
communication settings, according to the chart below. 
The Data bits for the Down position of JP3 depend 
upon the setting of JP2 (RTU or ASCII format).
Note these jumpers have no effect when the 7231 HT is 
confi gured as a Modbus master.
