Re: 4208U

Check to make sure you have dip switches set corectly I beilive it is number
6#  on  is for dip switch setting and not serial input. this will cause 97
code becuse it is not seeing the board. as a dipswitch set but serial set
and is looking for serial number inputs.
this is a common mistake many make.
