3.4.1 Electrical Interface Mode Selection
The interface converter offers RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 (full- and half-duplex)
modes. The electrical interface is a software selectable feature that can be
accessed and changed using the included driver via Device Manager. To select the
electrical interface, follow these steps:
1. Open Device Manager and locate “Ports (COM&LPT)” following the steps
above. You should see the port(s) listed.
2. Select one of the ports by right-clicking on it and selecting “Properties” from
the fly out menu. The serial port properties menu will appear.
3. Click on the “Interface Settings” tab.
NOTE: The included driver adds the “Interface Settings” tab. If this tab is missing,
the software is not correctly installed.
