			=='''Configuring the jumpers on Renard SS boards'''==

			:'''JP1 & JP2 Configuraton'''

			:The configuration of JP1 and JP2 depends on the type of communication being used:
			<br>

			::'''RS-232 Communication (direct connect to PC)'''
			:::*'''JP1''' installed
			:::*'''JP2''' not installed

			:::Reminder: This only applies to the first Renard SS board connected to the PC. The output of a Renard SS board to the next board is RS-485.
			<br>

			::'''RS-485 Communication (output of a Renard board or output from a RS-485 adapter/converter)'''
			:::*'''JP1''' not installed
			:::*'''JP2''' installed (try removing if data communication issues are encountered)
			<br>

			:'''JP3 Configuraton'''

			::*Installed when running the Diagnostics Firmware
			::*Normally not installed when running the Operational Firmware. But can be left installed if you don’t mind seeing the on-board LEDs responding with the associated channels.
