Thank you for purchasing this 4-Port RS422/485 Serial PCI Express 

(PCIe) Card. It is a universal add in card that connects to a PC 

or server via the PCIe Bus, providing high-speed serial 

connectivity. The serial ports are fully compatible with 

RS422/485 standard by the bundled Serial COM port drivers. 

Each port can be set in any mode (RS485 2-wire, RS485 4-wire 

and RS422) and operate simultaneously. 
There is an optional model supports Isolation and ESD 

protection feature. It provides an ideal solution for most critical 

applications.
