The card has 8 separate channels which can be individually configured. Each channel can be 
used in: 
 

1) RS485 (2 wire mode) - This mode may use “Auto RTS” 

 2) 

RS422 

 3) 

RS232 

 

4) RS485 (4 wire mode) 

  
The jumpers on the card must be properly placed in order to have the card function properly. 
  
In order to select the basic mode for a channel, the M1 and M2 jumpers must be properly 
placed. (These jumpers are located at the end of the card away from the cable connector).
