2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Model 2084 High Speed RS-232 to RS-485 Interface
Converter provides exceptional versatility in a compact package.
Requiring no AC power or batteries for operation, the Model 2084
supports asynchronous RS-485 data rates to 115.2 Kbps over one
unconditioned twisted pair.
The Model 2084 is equipped with a DB-25 for the RS-232
connection. Options for twisted pair connection include terminal blocks
with strain relief, RJ-11 or RJ-45. Silicon Avalanche Diodes provide 600
watts per wire of protection against harmful data line transient surges.

3.0 CONFIGURATION
The Model 2084 does not require configuration. Model 2084 is
factory configured as Data Circuit Terminating Equipment (DCE). That
is, it “wants” to connect to Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) via its DB-25
RS-232 port. Figure 1 (below) shows the RS-232 DB-25 connector and
terminal blocks on the printed circuit board.
