Figure 4-2. EIA-422/485 Serial Communications Card
The EIA-422/485 communications card includes LED indicators along the left-hand side that display
the status of the RXD, TXD, and RTS signal/control lines (the DTR, DCD, and CTS LEDs are unused).
LED indicators are detailed in Table 4-1.
The card has one jumper (P4 on the newer card; P3 on the older design) that applies to the EIA-422
transmit mode. The RTS setting of this jumper allows a multi-drop configuration. The newer card
design also includes load jumper (P3) that allows the termination load to remain or to be removed for
EIA-485 multi-drop communications. Refer to Section 4.4.2 for more information.
