JP1: RS-422/485 Mode Selector

Jumper Name

Jumper Positions Mode and Termination Resistor Setting

485/422

485

(Default)

2-wire RS-485 mode

422

4-wire RS-422 mode

RTS/AUTO

RTS

RS-485 Transmitter Buffer Enable is

Controlled by RTS (active high)

AUTO

(Default)

RS-485 Transmitter Buffer is controlled

automatically by ATTATM hardware circuit

ECHO/NO_ECHO

ECHO

Transmitting data will be echoed back

NO_ECHO

(Default)

No echo data

LOOP/NO_LOOP

LOOP

RTS will be connected to CTS

NO_LOOP

(Default)

RTS and CTS operate normally

Please note:

When set to “422” mode, the other settings (AUTO, ECHO and 

LOOP settings) will have no effect.

Echo mode is used to detect data collisions. If the echoed data 
was not equal to the transmitted data, then data collisions are 
occurring.

If you want to set the RS-485 transceiver to “AUTO” mode, you 
must duplicate this setting from the Windows Device Manager. You 
only need to perform this step once, as this information will be 

retained by Windows.

Please note that S1 and S2 have individual settings, and need to 
be configured separately.
