Note: A total of 64 base address settings are available. The jumpers are a binary representation of the decimal memory addresses. JP2/A is the Most Significant Bit and jumper JP2/F is the Least Significant Bit. The jumpers have the following decimal values: JP2/A=512, JP2/B=256, JP2/C=128, JP2/D=64, JP2/E=32, JP2/E=16. Open the jumpers and add the values of the jumpers that are open to obtain the correct memory address. (Open=1, Closed=0)
