4.3 Setting the Communications Module Jumpers
Prior to installing the Communications Module into the MJ-4 Control Panel, ensure that the jumpers are properly
installed on the printed circuit board. Jumper selections for the Fiber Optic interface and RS232/485 interface are
described in separate sections below.
4.3.1 Fiber Optic Interface
The jumper locations for the fiber optic interface are shown in Figure 4-3. The view of the module is from the
component side. The fiber optic receiver (RX) and transmitter (TX) are shown for reference. The jumper settings
are listed in Table 4-1.
Set Auto Repeat to “No Repeat” when only one unit is installed in the network.
