Overview Warning!!! This equipment generates, uses and radiates radio frequency energy and if Changing line signals is no longer a problem. StarTech.com’s IC485S / GB / EU not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual may case interference converts RS-232 serial interfaces to RS-485/422 serial interfaces.
DB25 DB25 Position 2: DTE means that the IC485S / GB / EU is set to the DTE mode and it must be connected to a DCE device. Position 3: Monitor means that the IC485S / GB / EU is set to the monitor mode and it is used to monitor the RS-485 line signals.
Operation Others The IC485S / GB / EU supports 4 kinds of functions in 6 types of configurations. Terminal Block Definition Point-to-Point The four-screw terminal block has different definitions in different operation modes. Point-to-Point configuration means two devices that locate different places can be linked In the DCE/DTE mode, the terminal #1 (-V) and #2 (+V) are configured to transmit data, together to communicate through a couple of IC485S / GB / EU devices.
