Switching the SIMATIC Box PC 620 to Active/Passive
When your SIMATIC Box PC 620 is supplied, the COM1 (TTY) serial port is active
(20 mA current loop). When you connect two programming devices using the
COM1 (TTY) serial port, you must deactivate the port on one of these devices. In
the SIMATIC Box PC 620, the switch for this is located on the motherboard.
These jumpers are accessible if you open the battery compartment cover.
