Changing machine board to SERIAL mode

With the ACA machine off, verify the machine is set to “Serial Payment System” mode by looking at the dipswitches on machine board. Dipswitches are located on the bottom left of the board. Only dipswitch 3 needs to be on, all others are off. See example of machine board images below.

If the machine is left on while making changes to the dipswitches, the changes may not take effect. Power cycle the machine afterwards.
