1-2 Console Port Baud Rate
If DIP switch 3 is on (down), these two switches set the
baud rate for the console port on the back of the unit.
Note that these switches control the external CONSOLE
port only. If DIP switch 3 is off (up), switch 1 and 2
have no effect. To match the default baud rate setting
(38400 Bps) in the PCSDL program, set switch 1 to ON
and switch 2 to OFF.

3 Force Console Port to rate set by DIP switches 1 and 2
Since software can change which port is used as the
console port and what rate the new port uses to
communicate, it is possible to forget how to
communicate with the NETServer. This switch lets you
force the console port rate to the setting designated by
Switches 1 and 2.
If you want to manually set the baud rate, and you
have switches 1 and 2 set accordingly, set Switch 3 ON.
OFF Use software configured rate - recommended
ON Force DIP switch rate
4 Erase/Reinitialize Flash Configuration
For a software download, change this switch setting to
the ON position. If this switch is ON when the
NETServer is booted, the FLASH files are erased.
When the unit is finished rebooting, set this switch back
to the OFF position to retain your new configuration.
