Wiring Configuration
RS-485 (Transmitter is controlled automatically by ATTATM
Hardware)
Please note: This card supports optional auto echo mode.
If enabled, data sent to the RS-485 transmitter will be
mirrored and simultaneously sent to the receiver, allowing
the echoed data to be verified for collisions and resent if
necessary.
RS-422
Please note: This card supports 4-wire RS-422 mode.
In this mode, data is sent and received independently. As
such, cross-over, twisted pair cable is required.
