2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Model 2085 High Speed RS-232 to RS-485 Interface
Converter provides exceptional versatility in a compact package.
Requiring no AC power or batteries for operation, the Model 2085
supports asynchronous RS-232 data rates to 115.2 Kbps over one or
two unconditioned twisted pair.
The Model 2085 passes one control signal in each direction and
can handle up to 50 terminal drops in a multipoint polling environment.
The Model 2085 may be configured for high or low impedance
operation, carrier may be set to “constantly on” or “controlled by RTS”,
and the unit can operate with or without “echo”. RTS/CTS delay may
be set for “no delay” or 8 mS.
The Model 2085 is equipped with either male or female DB-25 for
RS-232 connection. Options for twisted pair connection include
terminal blocks with strain relief, RJ-11, RJ-45 and DB-25 male or
female. Silicon Avalanche Diodes provide 600 watts per wire of
protection against harmful data line transient surges.

3.0 CONFIGURATION
The Model 2085 is configured using an eight position DIP switch
and a DCE/DTE switch. Figure 1 (below) shows the location of the
DCE/DTE switch (externally accessible) on the PC board, as well as
the power supply daughter board and terminal block.
Figure 2 (below) shows the location of the eight position DIP switch
on the underside of the Model 2085 PC board. Figure 3 (following
page) shows the orientation of the eight position DIP switch, with
respect to ON/OFF positions.
