5. Connect the other pair of wires to RCV+ and RCV- (receive
positive and negative) on both of the terminal blocks, again making
careful note of which color is positive, and which is negative.
Ultimately, you will want to construct a two pair cross over cable
that makes a connection with the RS-422/485 device, as shown below.

4.4.1 2-Wire Connection Using Terminal Blocks
Most RS-485 devices employ a two-wire, half duplex configuration.
When using this configuration, be sure to first set the Models
2086M/2086F to half duplex mode by switching DIP switches and
jumpers (refer to section 3.0 for this configuration)—then use only the
transmit (XMT) pair as shown below

4.5 OPERATING THE MODEL 2086 SERIES
Once the Model 2086 Series is properly installed, it should operate
transparently—as if it were a standard cable connection. Operating
power is derived from the RS-232 data and control signals; there is no
"ON/OFF" switch.
