Caution: It is advisable to remove all possible static discharge potential from

any objects that the ExpressCard may come in contact with before installation.

This can be accomplished by touching a grounded metal object, prior to

insertion.

1. With the notebook PC powered on and fully booted, insert the PCMCIA Card into an

available CardBus slot on the host computer.

2. Connect the 15-pin connector of the cable to your PC card, then connect the DB9

connector to your serial device.

3. The Add New Hardware Wizard will launch and will guide you through the driver

installation process.

Device

Please note: CB1S485 supports

optional auto echo mode

operation. When enabled,

data sent to the connected RS-

485 transmitter is simultaneously

sent to the receiver.

The current application can then

use the “echoed” data to check

for data collisions.

4-wire Twisted

Pair Cable

Please note: CB1S485 supports 4-wire RS-422 mode, which requires cross-over

twisted pair cable.

CB1S485 also provides two handshaking signals, RTS+/RTS- and CTS+/CTS- to

perform hardware flow control, which requires the following wiring scheme:
