KEY: ^ S1-1, S1-2, and S1-4: only one switch can be ON at any time.The
other two must be off.It is recommended that you, the user disconnect (the model 2086 Series) while changing configurations.
* JP4A: If this jumper is off, only the RS-485 transmitter is controll-
ed by RTS or DTR.If this jumper is ON, both the RS-485 transmit­ter and receiver are controlled by RST or DTR. When the transmit­ter is off, the receiver will be ON, and similarly, when the transmit ter is ON, the receiver is off.
** JP3A & JP3B: Both jumpers or either On or off. When the jumpers
are ON, the RS-485 transmitter and receiver are connected direct­ly together.This will only function in HDX.When the jumpers are off, the RS-485 transmitter and receiver are disconnected from each other.This can be operated in either HDX or FDX, depend­ing on the setting of JP4A.
Switch S1: RTS Control
When Switch S1 is in the On position, the DTE input signal RTS (Pin 4) is used to control the transmitter of the Model 2086 Series. In this mode, when RTS is high, the 2086 Series transmits data from the RS-232 port to the RS­485 port. Switch S2 and S4 must be OFF position when Switch S1 is ON.
S1 Setting
On RTS Controls the Transmitter
Off RTS Control is OFF
Switch S2: DTR Control
When Switch S2 is in the ON position, the DTE input signal DTR (Pin 20) is used to control the transmitter of the Model 2086 Series. In this mode, when DTR is high, the 2086 Series transmits data from the RS-232 port to the RS­485 port. Switches S1 and S4 must be OFF position when Switch S2 is
ON.
S2 Setting

Switch S3: Reserved
Switch S3 is reserved for future use and must remain in the OFF position.
Switch S4: Transmitter Control
When Switch S4 is in the OFF position, the input of RTS or DTR controls whether the unit can send data (based on the configuration of switch S1 and S2). In this setting, and when in the appropriate signal is high, the 2086 Series can transmit data from the RS-232 port to the RS-485 port. When S4 is ON, the 2086 Series transmitter is always enabled.

4.0 INSTALLATION
Once you have properly set the configuration switches and jumpers, you are ready to connect the Model 2086 Series to your system.This section tells you how to properly connect the Model 2086 Series to the RS-485 and RS-232 interfaces, and how to operate the Model 2086 Series.
4.1 CONNECTION TO THE RS-485 INTERFACE
To function proper ly, the Model 2086 Series
must
have one or two twisted pairs of metallic wire.These pairs must be”dry” (unconditioned) metallic wire, between 19 and 26 AWG (the higher number gauges may limit distance).
For your convenience, the Model 2086 Series is available with either an
RJ-11 jack or RJ-45 jack.
4.1.1 4-WIRE CONNECTION USING RJ-11 OR RJ-45
The RJ-11 and RJ-45 connectors on the Model 2086 Series RS-485 side are pre-wired for a standard TELCO wiring environment. The signal/pin rela­tionships are shown below:
RJ-11 SIGNAL RJ-45 SIGNAL
1...................GND* 1 .................N/C
2...................RCV- 2 .................GND*
3...................XMT+ 3.................RCV-
4...................XMT- 4 .................XMT+
5...................RCV+ 5.................XMT-
6...................GND* 6 .................RCV+
7 .................GND*
8 .................N/C
*Connection to ground is optional
In most modular RS-485 applications it is necessary to use a "cross over" cable. The diagram below shows how a cross over cable should be constructed for an environment where both the Model 2086 Series and the RS-485 device use a 6-wire RJ-11 connector. Similar logic should be followed when using RJ-45 connectors or a combina­tion of the two.

6 -------------------N/C
4.1.2 2-WIRE CONNECTION
Most RS-485 devices employ a two-wire, half duplex configuration. When using this configuration, be sure to first set the Model 2086 Series to "two wire" mode—then use
only the transmit (XMT) pair
as
shown on the following page.
2086
Series SIGNAL RS-485 SIGNAL
XMT+ ....................................XMT-A
XMT- .....................................XMT-B
The above wiring pattern applies regardless of whether you are making the RS-485 connection via RJ-11 or RJ-45. For specific wiring instructions, please refer to the previous page of Section 4.
4.2 WIRING FOR MULTIPOINT CIRCUITS
The Model 2086 Series supports multi-point applications using either a star or daisy chain topology. Both topologies require special wiring, as well as specific DIP switch settings for units. Note: Refer to Section 3.0 for DIP switch settings.

4.2.1 STAR TOPOLOGY
Using a star topology, you may connect several Model 2086 Series together in a master/slave arrangement. Maximum distance between the units will vary based upon the number of drops, data rate, wire gauge, etc. Call Technical Support for specific distance estimates.
Figure 2 (below) shows how to wire the two-pair cables properly for a Model 2086 Series star topology. Note that the ground connec­tion is not needed.

4.2.2 DAISY CHAIN TOPOLOGY
Using a daisy chain topology, you may connect several Model 2086 Series together in a master/slave arrangement. Maximum dis­tance between the units will vary based upon the number of drops, data rate, wire gauge, etc.
Figure 3 (below) shows how to wire the two-pair cables properly for a Model 2086 Series daisy chain topology. Note that the ground connection is not needed.

4.3 CONNECTION TO THE RS-232 INTERFACE
The Model 2086 Series is configured as a modem DCE. Once you have properly configured the Model 2086 Series and connected the twisted pair wires correctly, simply plug the Model 2086 Series directly into the DB-25 DTE port of the RS-232 device. Remember to insert and tighten the two captive connector screws.
(Note: If you must use a cable to connect the Model 2086 Series to the RS-232 DTE device, make sure it is a
straight through
cable of
the shortest possible length—we recommend 6 feet or less).
4.4 4-Wire Connection Using Terminal Blocks
If you purchased the Models 2086M or 2086F, you will need to open the case to access the terminal blocks. The following instructions will tell you how to open the case, connect the bare wires to the termi­nal blocks, and fasten the strain relief collar in place so that the wires won't pull loose.
1. If the case is not already open, open it now by twisting it open with a small plastic screwdriver.
2. Strip the outer insulation from the twisted pairs about one inch
from the end.
3. Strip back the insulation on each of the 2 twisted pair wires about .25 inch.
4. Place the cable through the end plate, and make a small loop
in the cable and feed the cable under the tie wrap which is cur­rently installed in the board.When you have completed this assembly it should resemble figure 4.Connect
one pair
of wires to XMT+ and XMT- (transmit positive and negative) on the terminal block, making careful note of which color is
positive, and which color is negative.
11 12
5. Connect the other pair of wires to RCV+ and RCV- (receive positive and negative) on both of the terminal blocks, again making careful note of which color is positive, and which is negative.
Ultimately, you will want to construct a two pair cross over cable
that makes a connection with the RS-422/485 device, as shown below.

4.4.1 2-Wire Connection Using Terminal Blocks
Most RS-485 devices employ a two-wire, half duplex configuration. When using this configuration, be sure to first set the Models 2086M/2086F to half duplex mode by switching DIP switches and jumpers (refer to section 3.0 for this configuration)—then use
only the
transmit (XMT) pair
as shown below

4.5 OPERATING THE MODEL 2086 SERIES
Once the Model 2086 Series is properly installed, it should operate transparently—as if it were a standard cable connection. Operating power is derived from the RS-232 data and control signals; there is no “ON/OFF” switch.
