3. Router Design
The board allows for the selection between RS485 and RS422 interfaces, which can be configured
using jumpers. For guidance on configuring the jumpers, refer to the instructions printed directly on the
board. Additionally, the termination resistor can be enabled on the port board using a jumper; note that the
termination resistor is integrated into the port board itself.
The default configuration is set to RS485 with the termination resistor turned off.
