Configuring Ports 2 and 3
The default for COM2 and COM3 is RS-232, but these ports can also be configured as RS-485 two-wire or
four-wire. See page
for jumper settings to configure RS-232 or RS-485 mode.
Jumper functions and two-wire and four-wire jumper settings are shown below. Use CFG2 jumpers for COM2
and CFG3 jumpers for COM3.
