RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENTS

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency

energy and if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict

accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause

interference to radio communication. It has been tested and

found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device

in accordance with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of

FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection

against such interference when the equipment is operated in a

commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a

residential area is likely to cause interference, in which case the

user at his own expense will be required to take whatever

measures may be necessary to correct the interference.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party

responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to

operate the equipment.

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio

noise emission from digital apparatus set out in the Radio

Interference Regulation of the Canadian Department of

Communications.

CHAPTER 2: Introduction

With the High Speed COS-4 or High Speed COS-8, you can send a code

sequence from an asynchronous RS-232 device and switch between four or

eight other such devices. By using this electronic method to switch, you

avoid the problems that can occur (especially with laser printers) when you

switch manually. You can select any two-byte sequence as the “arming code”

(the code that causes the COS to switch).

The High Speed COS-4 and COS-8 have three modes of operation, which

you can choose between with the slide switch on the front panel. In Text

mode, the user can send the chosen arming code, followed by the ASCII

character corresponding to the desired port (from “1” to “4” or “8,” or “0”

for no port, or “9” for all ports), immediately following other data. In

Graphics mode, the arming code and port character are not recognized

unless they are preceded by a pause. (You can select the length of this

pause.) In Transparent mode, arming codes are not recognized and

switching does not occur; arming codes will be passed through the COS

until it is set to a different mode.

2. Introduction

HIGH SPEED COS-4 AND HIGH SPEED COS-8

Before you install the High Speed COS-4 or High Speed COS-8, you

should configure it for your application.

Section 3.1

describes setting the

front-panel Mode switch to select your desired operating mode.

Section 3.2

describes setting the internal DIP switch SW1 so that the COS operates

using the communication parameters that you need;

Section 3.3

describes

how to choose your arming code by setting the internal DIP switch SW2;

Section 3.4

describes how to use the internal slide switches to set each port

as DTE or DCE.

3.1 Selecting the Operating Mode

Use the slide switch labeled “TX GR TR” on the front of the High-Speed

COS-4 or COS-8 to select which operating mode you want the unit to start

in. In the left-hand (TX) position, the Text mode is selected; in the center

(GR) position, the Graphics mode is selected; in the right-hand (TR)

position, the Transparent mode is selected. In Text and Graphics modes,

the MODE LED is dark; in Transparent mode, the MODE LED is lit to

alert you that switching is diabled until you change modes. (See

Chapter 2

and

Section 5.2

for descriptions of these modes.)

3.2 Setting Communication Parameters

Making sure that the unit is unplugged and powered down, open the High

Speed COS-4 or COS-8 by unscrewing and removing six screws (three on the

left side of the unit, three on the right side), then removing the unit’s cover.

Use the DIP switch labeled SW11 inside the unit to set its communications

parameters. As shown in Table 3-1 on page 12, positions 1 through 3

control the data rate; positions 4 and 5 control the data format; and

positions 7 and 8 control the graphics-mode pause. (Use position 6 for

troubleshooting, when you want the COS to run its barber-pole self-test.)

For first-time configuration, leave the case open to choose the arming code

(see the next section) and set your ports for DTE or DCE (see

Section 3.4

3. Configuration

CHAPTER 3: Configuration

3.3 Choosing the Arming Code

Use the DIP switch labeled SW12 inside the High-Speed COS-4 or COS-8

to set the COS’s “arming code” (the character that alerts the COS to an

impending switch). As shown in Table 3-2 on pages 13 through 19, each

possible setting of the eight DIP switch positions corresponds to a one-byte

character value from 00 to FF hex (0 to 255 decimal). For first-time

configuration, leave the case open to set your ports for DTE or DCE (see

the next section).

3.4 Setting Ports as DTE or DCE

Decide which devices you’re going to connect to which of the High Speed

COS-4’s or COS-8’s ports. Then set the DTE/DCE slide switches inside the

unit (there’s one just behind every port) so that you can use standard,

straight-through-pinned cables to attach the devices to the ports: If a device

is a DTE, set the port as DCE (move the switch to the B position); if a device

is a DCE, set the port as DTE (move the switch to the A position). Once

you’ve finished, replace the COS’s cover and secure it by screwing the

screws back in.
