RS232
The RS232 interface uses TX, RX and GND to connect to a PC, PLC etc. and uses standard RS232 voltage levels.
The baud rate can be selected by setting the DIP switches stated above.
The T24-SO will require power cycling to utilise a baud rate change.
Example connection to a PC 9 way D serial connector.

RS485
The RS485 interface (This is a 2 wire 485 interface and will not work with 4 wire 485 buses) uses TX, RX and GND
to connect to a PC, PLC etc. and uses standard RS485 voltage levels.
The baud rate can be selected by setting the DIP switches stated above.
The T24-SO will require power cycling to utilise a baud rate change.
Example connection
Depending on the RS485 interface or hardware the connections vary and are not standard therefore we can only
show the connections to the T24-GW1. You must refer to the user manual regarding your RS485 connection to
ascertain the correct connections.

Serial Limitations
When using RS232 or RS485 you should use the fastest baud rate possible. At lower rates data can be lost
because it can arrive from the radio faster than the gateway station can send it serially.
