Setting end of line (EOL) terminations

Each panel includes an integral terminating circuit that can be activated by setting DIP switch 8 to the ON position.

Enabling the panel terminator on the last panel in a daisy chain topology is the best way to ensure that your data cabling is secure from unwanted interference or noise that could affect data transfer performance.

Notes:

• The NION requires a jumper to be set in order to terminate the line at the serial port end. For more information, see RS-422/485 serial port in RS-485 mode in the NION CobraNet Hardware Manual or NION Dante Hardware Manual.
• The Digitool does not require a jumper to be set at the serial port end – the termination is made automatically.

To set the end of line (EOL) termination for a panel

• Set DIP switch 8 to the on (terminated) position.
