    “echo”. RTS/CTS delay may be set for “no delay” or 8 mS. The Model 2085 is equipped with either male or female DB-25 for RS-232 connection. Options for twisted pair connection include terminal blocks with strain relief, RJ-11, RJ-45 and DB-25 male or female.

Figure 3 (following page) shows the orientation of the eight position DIP switch, with respect to ON/OFF positions.
  • Page 6: Dip Switch Configuration

    For your convenience, the Model 2085 has an externally accessible DCE/DTE switch. If the device connected to the Model 2085 is a modem or multiplexer (or is wired like one), set the switch to “DTE”. This setting causes the Model 2085 to behave like Data Terminal Equipment and transmit data on pin 2.

    Intermediate Impedance High Impedance S1-3: RTS/CTS Delay The setting for switch S1-3 determines the amount of delay between the time the Model 2085 “sees” RTS and when it sends CTS. Note: RTS/CTS Delay setting should be based upon transmission timing. S1-3...

  • Page 10: Installation

    4.0 INSTALLATION Once you have properly set the configuration switches, you are ready to connect the Model 2085 to your system. This section tells you how to properly connect the Model 2085 to the RS-485 and RS-232 interfaces, and how to operate the Model 2085.
  • Page 11 In most modular RS-485 applications it is necessary to use a "cross over" cable. The diagram below shows how a cross over cable should be constructed for an environment where both the Model 2085 and the RS-485 device use a 6-wire RJ-11 connector. Similar logic should be followed when using RJ-45 connectors or a combination of the two.
  • Page 12 4.1.3 4-WIRE CONNECTION USING TERMINAL BLOCKS If your RS-485 application requires you to connect two pairs of bare wires to the Model 2085, you will need to open the case to access the terminal blocks. The following instructions will tell you how to open the case, connect the bare wires to the terminal blocks, and fasten the strain relief collar in place so that the wires won't pull loose.
  • Page 13 "G" on the terminal block. We recommend connecting the shield at the computer end only to avoid ground loops. A ground wire is not necessary for proper operation of the Model 2085. 7. When you finish connecting the wires to the terminal block, the assembly should resemble the diagram below: 8.
  • Page 14 4.1.4 2-WIRE CONNECTION Most RS-485 devices employ a two-wire, half duplex configuration. When using this configuration, be sure to first set the Model 2085 to "two wire" mode—then use only the transmit (XMT) pair as shown on the following page.
