The switch on the KD485-ADE should be set with SW1 On (to enable half-duplex
operation on Port 2), with the other three switches (SW2, 3, 4) set to Off.

Note: The ‘A’ signals on the 7828 must be connected to the ‘B’ signal on the converter,
and vice-versa.
In most systems, the ground connection will be unnecessary.
When two or more devices are connected on the same RS485 network, this is known as
a multidrop configuration (see next section). Each device must be configured with its
unique slave address before being installed on the network.
