Adjusting the operating mode of the RS232 interface
In the default setting of the extender, you can connect any RS232-compatible device
to the optional RS232 interface of the console module. The RS232 data stream is
transmitted unchanged to the computer module.
For transmitting RS422 signals, you can use two G&D RS232-422 adapters . Each of the
adapters converts the RS232 interface of the console module and the computer mod-
ule into RS422 interfaces.
How to set the operating mode of the RS232 interface:
IMPORTANT: If you want to transmit RS422 signals, in addition to using adapters,
you also need to change the operating mode of the RS232 interfaces of both the
console and the computer module.
