Jumper
When the jumper is inserted as shown above, it will configure the
device with 4 digital inputs. The GND signal for the power will be
shared with the GND signal for the 4 digital inputs.
When the jumper is inserted in the left 2 pins, the device will be
configured with 3 digital inputs. In this configuration all the
inputs are fully optically isolated from the rest of the system.
Input 4 will become the GND_ISO (Isolated Ground) for all 3
digital inputs.

Be careful in changing the MAC address, because the MAC address has to be unique
in order for Layer 2 routing to be possible, in other words 2 devices cannot exist on
the same network with the same MAC address. When new firmware is loaded the
MAC address may be reset. Ensure that you write down the MAC address before
firmware update in order to restore it after update. Note that the MAC address can
be programmed only once. If the last two numbers in the MAC address are other
than 00:00, the MAC address will not be configurable.
