When not needed for UART1, OPT_TX can alternatively be configured as SEGDIO51. Configuration is 
via the OPT_TXE[1:0] (I/O RAM 0x2456[3:2]) field and LCD_MAP[51] (I/O RAM 0x2405[0]). The 
OPT_TXE[1:0] field allows the MPU to select VPULSE, WPULSE, SEGDIO51 or the output of the pulse 
modulator to be sourced onto the OPT_TX pin. Likewise, the OPT_RX pin can alternately be configured 
as SEGDIO55, and its control is OPT_RXDIS (I/O RAM 0x2457[2]) and LCD_MAP[55] (I/O RAM 0x2405[4]).

Bit Banged Optical UART (Third UART) 
As shown in Figure 15, the 71M6543 can also be configured to drive the optical UART with a DIO signal 
in a bit banged configuration. When control bit OPT_BB (I/O RAM 0x2022[0]) is set, the optical port is 
driven by DIO5 and the SEGDIO5 pin is driven by UART1_TX. This configuration is typically used when 
the two dedicated UARTs must be connected to high speed clients and a slower optical UART is 
permissible.

2.5.10  Digital I/O and LCD Segment Drivers 
2.5.10.1  General Information 
The 71M6543 combines most DIO pins with LCD segment drivers.  Each SEG/DIO pin can be configured 
as a DIO pin or as a segment driver pin (SEG). 
On reset or power-up, all DIO pins are DIO inputs (except for SEGDIO0-15, see caution note below) until 
they are configured as desired under MPU control. The pin function can be configured by the I/O RAM
