    ETS 2604 Introduction Overview The CyberResearch ETS 2604 is a four-port RS-232/422/485 Ethernet based serial I/O adapter supporting data rates up to 230.4 K bps. The RS-232 compatibility allows for connection to devices utilizing the RS-232 electrical interface, such as modems, data-entry terminals, and plotters.
