4.2.2 RS485 network connection using RJ45 interface
The TQ100 terminal can
be connected using
RS485. [Please Note:
Due to the low demand
for this type of
connection, the RS232/
RS485 converter is not
included in the standard
package. See the
Appendix at the end of
this manual for details of
the installation and setup
of the RS485
configuration].
A) In Communication Setting, press Scroll-down button and set
RS485 communication to “Yes” and Ethernet to “No,” displayed as
follows:
B) Turn the terminal off.
C) Connect the CAT5 Ethernet cable supplied in the package to the
RS485/RS232 converter (Please refer to Appendix 8.2 for definition
of cables, connectors and wire connections).
D) Connect RS485/RS232 converter to the serial port of the PC and
the other end to the RJ45 interface of the terminal.
E) Restart the terminal.
Note: Device ID number and Baud
Rate should be consistent to the PC
settings. RS232/ RS485 converter is
not included in standard
configuration.
