USB Interfaces
Display elements
The interface has two green LEDs. The On Line LED indicates
that the interface has a connection to the driver software and
that the software has activated the serial interface circuitry. The
Data LED indicates data activity in both directions.
Terminating
All RS485 modes on the Interface require terminating the bus
system with a termination network which ensures a defined rest
state in the tristate phases of bus operation. The connection of
a bus system to a termination network can be accomplished by
closing DIL switches 6 and 7 inside the Interface.
