The COM interface may be configured as either RS232 or RS422 by setting the appropriate
solder jumpers. The standard setting of the COM port envisages the RS232 configuration.
RS422 configuration:
The RS422 interface uses two differential data lines RX and TX for communication (Full-Duplex).
The following table provides the pinout for the serial port connector J9, which depends on the
interface configuration.
