on the connector is a +5-volt power supply pin, used to supply power to the remote
controller. If the Digital Detangler Pro is to be hooked up to a computer, it is critical that
this pin not be passed through to the computer's serial port. The +5-volt power output is not
present on the RS422 thru receptacle. To daisy-chain multiple routers, simply attach the remote
controller to the RS422 input receptacle of the first router, connect the RS422 thru receptacle of
the first router to the RS422 in receptacle of the second router, and so forth.
