RS-232/485 CONVERTER
4.4 Operating the Converter
Once the Converter 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. All data signals from the RS-232 and RS-485
interfaces are passed straight through. One hardware
flow-control signal is also passed in each direction
(see the last bullet point in Section 2.2 for an
explanation).
