Termination and Biasing Configuration
Inside the converter, there is a 7x3 (21pin) header block which has jumpers to enable the Tx, Rx and
CTS 120 Ohm termination resistors, and the Tx and Rx 750 Ohm biasing resistors. Open the case and set
the jumpers as per the requirements of your application. The settings are detailed below.
