Serial Interface DIP Switches

Introduction

The serial interface card enables communication between the 4190-9007 Remote
Printer and a host computer (see Figure 3 for the location of the serial interface
compartment).

The serial interface card has two sets of DIP switches (see Figure 2). You
control interface operations by adjusting the switch settings.

Notes:

• You can access DIP Switch 1 and adjust settings as needed even after

installing the interface card.

• DIP Switch 2 is not readily accessible after installation. Therefore, make

any necessary adjustments to DIP Switch 2 before installing the serial
interface card.

This section describes the DIP switch settings for operation with compatible Fire
Alarm systems. Refer to the Serial Interfac e Card manual (provided with the
serial interface card) for detailed information on serial interface card installation.

Printer Connections

Overview

Connector Ports

The following sections illustrate the connections between the 4190-9007 Remote
Printer and the various host systems (Fire Alarm or Nurse Call) with which it is
compatible.

Use the port on the serial interface card for connections between the printer and
host systems. The serial interface compartment is located directly above the
parallel interface port on the rear panel of the printer (see Figure 3).

Note: When connecting to a 4120 GCC system you have the option of using

the parallel port. If using this option, refer to the section “Parallel
Interface Option with the 4120 GCC.”
