Chapter 1: INTRODUCTION

The RS-232 Four Port Mini Smart Switch/Port Combiner, Model

232MSS2, allows one RS-232 host device to connect to as many as

four RS-232 devices. The switch can be controlled in two different

ways. The first way is referred to as smart switch mode. In this

mode, the switch is controlled by sending a programmable preamble

code to the "Master" port of the 232MSS2. The other way the switch

can be controlled is referred to as port combiner mode. In port

combiner mode, a slave port can gain access to the master port by

asserting a handshake line. If none of the slave ports have their

handshake line asserted, the switch can be controlled using the

preamble code.

The master port can be configured as a DTE or DCE port by an

internal switch setting. If the master port is configured as a DTE port,

the four slave ports will become DCE ports. The 232MSS2 supports

the following signals: TD, RD, RTS, and CTS.

The 232MSS2 has an enhanced mode which offers special

timer features. The timer features can be used to prevent slave

devices from receiving preamble commands, inadvertently switching

from binary/graphic file transfers, and inactive slave devices from

holding control of the master port.

The 232MSS2 will work with baud rates from 1200 to 115,200

bps; 7 or 8 data bits; even, odd or no parity; and 1 or 2 stop bits

(7,N,1 is not allowed).

NOTE: The data format and rates mentioned are used to switch

the 232MSS2. The communication between the devices can use

any format or data rate.

There are four LED's on the 232MSS2 to indicate which port is

connected to the master port. The master port has a DB-25S female

connector and the slave ports have DB-9S female connectors. The

232MSS2 requires 12Vdc at 10ma. which is provided through a

2.5mm power jack.

Chapter 2: SETUP

The 232MSS2 is set up using an eight-position dipswitch. This

dipswitch is used to set the communication format, port config-

uration, smart switch/port combiner mode and to enable/disable the

enhanced features. To change the settings on the switch, remove

the power from the unit, and remove the screws (4) from the bottom

of the 232MSS2. The dipswitch is located on the top of the PC board

(side with LEDs) and is labeled “SW1.” The other dipswitch, labeled

“SW2” is used to set the second character of the preamble. After the

switches have been set to match your requirements, you can put the

unit back together. NOTE: The end panel should be open end

towards the bottom of the PC board and the smooth side goes

toward the inside. Table 1 shows the settings for dipswitch “SW1”.

Port Configuration

In order to determine the proper port configuration of the

232MSS2, it is necessary to have a basic understanding of the

terms DCE and DTE. RS-232 was designed, using DB-25

connectors, for connecting a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) device

to a DCE (Data Communication Equipment) device. Each device will

have inputs on pins that correspond to outputs on the same pins of

the other device. For example, a DTE device will transmit data out

on pin 2 (on a DB-25) and a DCE device will receive data in on pin 2

(on a DB-25). IBM PCs and serial printers are DTE devices,

modems are DCE devices.

If an IBM PC (DTE device) is going to be connected to the

232MSS2 master port, the master port should be configured as a

DCE port. If a modem (DCE device) is going to be connected to the

master port, it should be configured as a DTE port.

The master port can be configured as a DCE port (data received on

pin 2) or a DTE port (data received on pin 3) by setting dipswitch

“SW1”, position 8. To configure the master port as a DCE port, move

dipswitch “SW1”, position 8, to the "OFF" position. When the master

port is configured as a DCE port, ports A, B, C, & D will become

DTE ports (Refer to Table 2). To configure the master port as a DTE

port move dipswitch “SW1”, position 8, to the "ON" position. When

the master port is configured as a DTE port, ports A, B, C, & D will

become DCE ports (Refer to Table 3). Always power down the

smart switch when changing switch settings.

The 232MSS2 supports the following RS-232 signals: TD, RD,

SG, RTS & CTS.

NOTE: Handshake lines DSR and DTR are tied together on

each connector and are not passed through to the master port. All

other lines are not connected.

The Mini Smart Switch selects port A as the default port at power

up.

Serial Data Configuration

In order for the host device that is connected to the master port

to select any of the four ports, the Mini Smart Switch must be set to

match the host's communication format. Dipswitch “SW1” is used to

select the communication format of the Mini Smart Switch. Switch

positions 1 through 3 select the baud rate. Switch position 5 selects

7 or 8 data bits. Switch position 6 determines if parity is enabled or

disabled.

NOTE: A data format of 7 data bits, no parity and one stop is

not allowed.

Switch position 8 selects the port configuration, see section titled

"Port Configuration". Refer to Table 1. Always power down the smart

switch when changing switch settings.

Smart Switch Operation

Smart Switch mode is selected when dipswitch “SW1” position 7

is “Off.” In Smart Switch mode, the 232MSS2 is constantly looking

for the three character preamble code by monitoring the data that is

being received on the master port from the host device. The

232MSS2 requires a three character preamble code to turn on and

off a port. The first character must be the ASCII escape character

(decimal 27). The second character is user programmable by setting

dipswitch “SW2”. “SW2” comes from the factory programmed to the

ASCII character STX (decimal 2). The third character should be the

ASCII upper case letters "A", "B", "C" or "D" (decimal 65, 66, 67, or

68 respectively) to select those ports. To turn off the selected port

the third character should be the ASCII EOT character (decimal 4).

For instance, to turn on port B you would send:

ESC STX B

If you were writing a program in BASIC to control the Mini Smart

Switch you would form a string like this:

SWB$ = CHR$(27) + CHR$(2) + "B"

You could then send SWB$ to select port B. Similar strings

could be used for turning on the other ports. To turn off the ports the

string might look like this:

TOFF$ = CHR$(27) + CHR$(2) + CHR$(4)

When you are done with a port you can either select a new one

directly or turn off the selected port and then turn on the next one.

We recommend that you turn off the selected port before selecting

the next one. The turn off command consists of three characters that

are nonprinting (ESC STX EOT). If port A is selected and you send

the command to select port B, all three characters (ESC STX B) will

pass through the A port since it is still selected and the letter B will

show up on your port A device. For information on preventing

command codes from being received by slave devices, refer to the

Enhance Mode section.

NOTE: There is no delay through the Mini Smart Switch and

the data is not buffered.
