Thanks for all of the info! I was going off a PDP-11/23 manual I found that
seemed to be for a complete system, and it was saying the aux switch was
for power (power to an RL02 in their example). I didn't realize it was
configurable.

I wasn't clear though on the discussion about the line clock... If my
machine is having problems with the line clock, would I need to do anything
to the aux switch, other than leave it in a certain position?
