Honeywell also offers a non-optically isolated RS-485 to USB converter.
The USB Converter provides easy connectivity between the PC and stan-
dard communication ports, not requiring PC reconfiguration, assignment
of IRQs or jumper settings.
Use of this device requires a PC with a USB port compliant with USB 1.1
or later.
The RS-485 to USB converter is equipped with a USB cable and a USB
type A connector for connection to a PC USB port and a male DB-9 for
connection to an RS-485 equipped data or communication terminal.
1. Power on the PC. Verify the USB port is enabled, and insert the CD
that has been provided.
2. Connect the USB cable of the converter to the USB port of the PC.
Make sure not to have the RS-485 cable plugged into the converter at
this time.
3. Windows™ should detect the USB device, and if the driver does not
already exist on the PC the "Add New Hardware Wizard" will be
displayed. Click the NEXT button.
4. From this new screen select "Specify a Location" and specify the
PC's drive letter for the CD-ROM drive where the provided CD has
been inserted. Click the NEXT button to begin the search.
5. Once the drivers have been located a new screen will be displayed.
Click NEXT to continue.
6. At this point Windows™ has finished installing the RS-485 to USB
converter drivers. Click FINISH.
7. Once Windows™ has detected the USB device click NEXT.
8. Now connect the RS-485 cable to the converter's DB-9 terminal.
9. Click START, SETTINGS , CONTROL PANEL, then select SYS-
TEM, and click on DEVICE MANAGER. Verify that the converter
is listed in the list of COM PORTS as "USB to Serial Adapter".
10. The converter installation is now complete. The PORTS section of the
DEVICE MANAGER, mentioned in step 9, shows the new COM
PORT number next to the "USB to Serial Adapter". This number is
needed to set the Wireless Management Toolkit's Honeywell Server
to look at the correct COM PORT for incoming information.
11. To specify this COM PORT, start the Honeywell Server and Right-
Click on the RF Server Icon (see Wireless Management Toolkit
User's Manual Section 4 for more details). Select Options. Then
click ADD to add the converter's COM PORT. The baud rate should
remain at 38400. Then select OK and the added port will be dis-
played. Select OK.
Using the converter's Male DB-9 Connector chart wire up a Female DB-9
connector such that Pins 2 and 9 (Tx+ and Rx+) go to the Base Radio's
WMT terminal A, and Pins 1 and 3 (Tx- and Rx-) go to the Base Radio's
WMT terminal B. (See Figure 3.5 for details on WMT Terminal A and B).
1. Unplug the converter from the PC's USB Port.
2. Insert the converter's driver CD used for installation.
3. Run the FTDIUNIN.EXE program.
4. Restart the PC.
