UPort 1100 Series Introduction Adjustable Pull High/low, Terminator Resistors for the RS-485 Port In some critical environments, you may need to add termination resistors to prevent the reflection of serial signals. When using termination resistors, it is important to set the pull high/low resistors correctly so that the electrical signal is not corrupted.
Installation and Configuration Installation of the converter is a simple process. First install the driver, then plug the converter into a USB port. When the converter is plugged in, Windows will load the correct drivers for the converter and the new COM port. In this chapter, basic installation and configuration procedures are explained.
UPort 1100 Series Installation and Configuration Initial Driver Installation The Documentation and Software CD contain the drivers for the converter. You may also download the drivers at www.moxa.com. The installation procedure is the same for all Windows operating systems. Use Windows Explorer to locate the driver installation file, which will be Setup or Install. On the Documentation and Software CD, this file will be located in the UPort 1100/Software folder, filed by operating system.
