English term or phrase: hex switch
"Hex switch 2 (S2).
The below hex switch (S2) is intended for the hardware configuration and always has to be on position “1”, for all slaves always on position “0”."

Potrebbe essere un "hexagonal switch"???
Grazie in anticipo!

direi di sì


Explanation:
anche perchè l'unica alternativa possibile dovrebbe essere "un interruttore stregato" e non credo si addica al tuo contesto... :-)))

Explanation:
Si tratta semplicemente di una manopola (più che "interruttore") a 16 posizioni (hex: esadecimale).
Vedi ad esempio:

On all MOTOR MINDER models the restart time is controlled by a sixteen position rotary switch located on the front panel. The switch is labeled "Time-Off Setting"; 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, and F (16 positions) or commonly referred to as a hexadecimal switch.

Anche \"commutatore\", non sapendo quale sia l\'aspetto esatto dell\'oggetto fisico.

Explanation:
con riferimento al testo, questa traduzione mi sembra più corretta, rispetto a quella scelta, in quanto anche eesendo vero che "hex" è sinonimo di esadecimale, nel contesto si riferisce ad un dip switch a sei posizioni.
