3 way-switch-confused how to wire it

Question

Hi!

I'm having a little bit confused now. I thought it should be simple but I become clueless some how.

Refer to figure a. above, my question is how can I make a wire connection between 3-way switch A6E3101 (figure b.) and three resistors.

The switch has 6 pins, I assumed pin 4, 5 and 6 is for the 'on' state.

Please advice.

Thank you.

The schematic does not match the item or footprint. That is a 3way switch in the schematic but figure b and c are a 3position dip switch.

Ignoring the schematic, if the switch is wired crosswise (1-4, 2-5,3-6) you should be able to wire 1 resistor each for the pins 4,5,6 up to VCC, then pins 1,2,3 are tied to ground. Your signals will then be on 4,5,6 and pulled-up by the resistors.
