Thank you for purchasing this RS232/422/485 3-in-1 Serial to USB
Adapter. It is an intelligent expansion module that connects to a PC or
server via the Universal Serial Bus (USB), providing high-speed serial
connectivity. The serial ports are fully compatible with RS232/422/485
standard by the bundled virtual COM port drivers. It provides a universal
mounting Kit which can be mounted on wall, DIN Rail and other
surfaces. Moreover, with the 4KV isolation, 15KV ESD surge protection
and USB Screw Lock Mechanism features, it is an ideal solution for
most critical applications.

There is an 8-pin DIP switch on the back side of the box for the required
settings. Their functions are described as follows:
Mode Settings:
The DIP switch has 8 pins, the first 3 pins (M0, M1, M2) are for mode
settings (RS232, RS485-2wire, RS485-4wire or RS422 modes), pin 4
(TERM) is to enable or disable terminator. Pin 5 and 6 (T+, T-) are to enable
or disable the bias for TX+ and TX- signals. Pin 7 and 8 (R+, R-) are to
enable or disable the bias for RX+ and RX- signals.
Note:
Pin 5 to 8 are designed for RS422 and RS485 only and
should be set to
OFF
when you are setting the port to RS232 mode.

Termination Resistor Settings:
The pin 4 of the DIP switch is to enable the 120 Ohm termination resistor
between RX+ and RX- signals.
Terminator disabled (OFF, default):
Terminator enabled (ON):
Bias Resistors Enable/Disable:
Pin 5 to 8 of the DIP switch are to enable (ON) or disable (OFF) the 4 bias
resistors for TX+, TX-, RX+, RX- signals respectively. Please note that you
have to set them to OFF if you are setting the port in RS232 mode.
RS485-4wire or RS422 mode:
