6.1 Jumper Settings These cards feature built-in termination resistors for each serial port. You can modify the jumper settings (short the pins) to avoid impedance mismatch problems when operating under multi-drop transmission. When an electrical signal travels through two resistance junctions in a transmission line, the impedance mismatch will sometimes cause signal reflection. Signal reflection causes signal distortion, which in turn contributes to communication errors. The soluti
