CHAPTER 2: Introduction
In both RS-232 and RS-422 modes, the card works
seamlessly with the standard operating system serial
driver. In RS-485 mode, our special auto-enable feature
allows the RS-485 ports to be viewed by the operating
system as a COM: port. This means that the standard
COM: driver can be used for RS-485 communications.
Our on-board hardware automatically handles the RS-
485 driver enable.
