Functionally, the difference between RS-232 and RS-422
versions is the absence of support for hardware flow control
lines (RTS and CTS) and modem control lines (DSR, DTR and
DCD) in the RS-422 version. The performance and support
for 115.2k baud are unaffected by the different serial ports.
RS-422 uses differential signalling and is capable of handling
longer distance due to superior noise immunity when
installed with suitable cabling.
The IOLAN+ comes with the Perle CD. This CD contains
the latest 'released' firmware and the redirector software for
Unix systems called ioland . The firmware is a backup copy
and generally not used. The ioland software is used for
setting up printers and dial-out modems on Unix.
