RS-422/485 SERIAL INTERFACE PLUS, 4-PORT

3.7 Line Termination
Typically, each end of the RS-485 bus must have line-terminating resistors
(RS-422 terminates at the receive end only). A 120-ohm resistor is across each
RS-530/422/485 input in addition to a 1-Kohm pull-up/pull-down
combination that bias the receiver inputs. Headers J1E through J4E allow the
user to customize this interface to their specific requirements. Each jumper
position corresponds to a specific portion of the interface. If multiple Serial
Interface Plus adapters are configured in a RS-485 network, only the boards
on each end should have jumpers T, P, and P ON. Refer to the table on the
next page for each position’s operation:
