In the contrary case, a problem due to a bad connection (bias inversion) or a lack of bias on the line is probable.
TROUBLESHOOTING In idle state (no line activity), the TX and RX lamps should be off, and the POWER lamp should be on. The status of the other lamps depends on the operating mode. − Check that the RX lamp is off in the idle state (no line activity). If this is not the case, the problem is probably due to incorrect installation (inverted bias) or because the line is not biased.
Page 68
− In RS422 multipoint slave mode or in RS485 mode, the RTS/DTR lamp remains off. Check the configuration of SW2, transmission validation by either RTS or DTR.Check that the serial driver correctly handles the RTS or DTR signal (see the signal-timing diagram on page 2-5 ).

EXTRACTS FROM THE EIA STANDARD AND RS422A AND RS485 INTERFACE DEFINITION The table below shows characteristics of the EIA standard concerning the EIA/TIA- 562 recommendation (RS232, EIA/TIA-574, EIA/TIA-561, etc.), RS422A and RS485. It is useful to note in particular the maximum cable lengths allowed for the different standards.

PARTICULARITIES OF RS422A AND RS485 TRANSMISSION LINES TERMINATION RESISTOR: The line termination resistor for the receiver in RS422A mode (100 Ohms) and for the transmitter/receiver in RS485 mode (120 Ohms) reduces reflections generated in a long high-speed line that may interfere with reception. The termination resistor is not required in the following case: Environment free from interference and if the distance and speed are within 1,000 metres at 9,600 bits/sec or 100 metres at 122 Kbits/sec.
