Pin No. Signal Name Signal Direction
1 Transmit Data RS-485 (+) TX-485-B Output
2 Transmit Data RS-232 TXD-232 Output
3 Receive Data RS-232 RXD-232 Input
4 NC NC ---
5 Ground GND ---
6 Transmit Data RS-485 (–) TX-485-A Output
7 NC No Connection ---
8 Receive Data RS-485 (+) RX-485-B/CTS Input
9 Receive Data RS-485 (–) RX-485-A Input
When operating the remote port as RS232 using a cable pinned 1 for 1
may cause communication failures due to miss routing of standard
RS232 com port signals.
When operating the remote port as RS232, the cable used should only
have pins 2, 3 and 5 connected.
