3.4 Indicators
The interface converter is equipped with seven
LED indicators located on the front panel, that
indicate input signals, NOT output.
• Three indicators reflect conditions on the
RS-232 interface: DSR (Data Set Ready),
CTS (Clear To Send), and Data.
• Three indicators reflect conditions on the
RS-485 interface: DSR (Data Set ready), CTS
(Clear To Send), and Data.
• One indicator, located in the center of the front
panel, PWR (Power), indicates when power is
applied to the unit.
Figures 3-2 and 3-3 illustrate signal flow in DTE
and DCE configurations.
NOTE
Some LEDs may be lit when no input
signal is present. This is not a
malfunction but a floating state
condition at the input which causes the
output of that driver to indicate a
positive voltage condition.
