RS422-A, RS422-B or IDN
Over time two labels have been used to denote this multifunction Serial Port.
Workstations such as the WS 4 LX and KW270 include two ports labeled RS422-A
and RS422-B. Later workstations including the WS 6, WS 5A, PCWS 2015, and Base
Station include a single RS422 port labeled 'IDN'.
The IDN (COM4) and RS422-A/RS422-B (COM4 and COM5) ports are functionally
equivalent, and default to RS422 mode in order to drive MICROS IDN printers. The
figure below shows the pin-out of the RS422 configuration. The POS application can
convert this port to a simple two- wire RS232 interface for driving serial peripherals.
