2.1 Introduction
The following sections show the internal jumpers setting and the external connectors
pin assignment for application integration.
2.2 Jumpers and Connectors
2.2.1 Jumper Description
You may configure the ITA-5831 to match the needs of your application by setting
jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge used to close an electric circuit. It consists of two
metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over
the pins to connect them. To close a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometime a jumper
will have three pins, labelled 1, 2 and 3. In this case you would connect either pins 1
and 2, or 2 and 3.
Open Closed 2-3 Closed
The jumpers setting are schematically depicted in this manual as follows.
Open Closed 2-3 Closed
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers. If you have
any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your application, contact your
local distributor or sales representative before you make any changes. Generally, you
simply need a standard cable to make most connections.
