RS485 User: Since the factory settings are initially set at 2-wire RS485 mode. There is no need to change any switch settings from the default settings.

RS422 User: Change the mode pin to ¡§422¡¨ positions(ON). Keep the other settings unchanged. Switch Description: Switch Pin# Switch Name (Switch States) Switch Positions Description 1 485/422 (OFF/ON) 485 (Default) 2-wire RS485 mode 422 4-wire RS422 mode 2 ECHO/NO ECHO (OFF/ON) ECHO Transmitting data will be echoed back NO ECHO (Default) No echo data 3 NO TERM/TERM (OFF/ON) NO TERM (Default) Termination Resistor is Disabled TERM Termination Resistor is Enabled 4 RVD (OFF) Reserved for Future Use (ON) Reserved for Future Use

Please note that if the mode were set at ¡§422¡¨ mode, the ECHO setting will take no effect.

The Echo mode is useful for the application program to detect if the RS485 bus were in a collision. If the echoed data was not equal to the transmitted data, then the bus was in a collision. The RS422/485 Adapter Cable can be hot-plugged to the USB port of your computer due to the specifications of USB. It supports the following operating systems. The drivers are shipped in the corresponding folder on the supplied driver CD. If you are installing drivers for Win98, ME, 2000, 2003, XP or Vista, when prompted for the location of the drivers, specify your CD-ROM drive and the locations according to the following folder list:
