RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENTS
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not
installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions, may cause interference to radio communication. It has been tested
and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance
with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to
provide reasonable protection against such interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause interference, in which case the user at his own
expense will be required to take whatever measures may be necessary to correct the
interference.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emission from digital
apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of Industry Canada.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites
applicables aux appareils numériques de la classe A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le
brouillage radioélectrique publié par Industrie Canada.

CHAPTER 2: Introduction
2. Introduction
The RS-232 Synchronous Multipoint Line Driver provides short-haul synchronous
data communication over customer-owned twisted-pair cable. It’s available as a
standalone unit (Part Number ME742A-R3) or a rackmount card (Part Number
ME742C-R3). The rackmount version is functionally identical to the standalone
unit, but it fits in a rackmount chassis that holds up to 16 cards. Each Line Driver
comes with a 6-ft. DB25 male to DB25 male RS-232 extension cable and a DB9
female to DB25 male adapter.
The LD485S has an RS-232 port (configured as DCE) that connects to a host
computer or terminal (DTE), and a 4-screw terminal block for RS-485
communication over a 2- or 4-wire line. Transmission can be two-wire half duplex,
or four-wire half/full duplex. There are a variety of switch-selectable baud rates
ranging from 1200 to 128,000 bps.
A group of LEDs on the unit’s front panel indicate flow-control status (TX, RX,
RTS, CD). Three pushbuttons on the front panel are used to perform line and
digital loopback testing. A number of options are configurable via internal switches
or jumpers:
• Data rate
• Constant Carrier/Switched Mode with selectable RTS/CTS delay
• Full/half duplex
• TX data clock select
• Node termination
• Frame ground/signal ground
