Timeout selections are equal to one character time at the
indicated baud rate. Setting the converter 9600 will
generally work at 9600 and higher baud rates. In RS-422
mode, timeouts are not required.
# To achieve these timeouts you must place a through -
hole resistor on the circuit board. See Step 5 for more
information.
