RS485 Connection
To use RS485 communication directly from a computer, a master unit
must be configured to receive RS485. You must
have a suitable RS485 port on your computer, or a converter connected to the serial port in use. This configuration is
shown below, along with the required unit setup.
Both the converter and the required adapter cables are available from XTA.
The adapter is available in a kit, which includes an RJ-45 adapter, the XLR to 9-pin adapter, and the converter itself. This
complete kit is part number
