How to Use the Table: The left vertical column shows the jumpers 
for the port. The four right vertical columns show the position setting 
of the jumper at the left for RS-232, RS-422 or 4-wire RS-485 or 2-
wire RS-485 modes. 
NOTES: 
RS-485 Mode: The JP1 Control jumper should be set to Send Data 
mode unless your software requires RTS control. 
Refer to the Setup section for explanations of the SD/RTS, 
Termination and Clock settings. 
Note that termination should only be used in systems with both high 
baud rates (>19200) and over several thousand feet of cable. 
Information on RS-422 and RS-485 communications can be found in 
the B&B Electronics RS-422/485 Application Note (available free 
on our websites).
