The 422PP9R is a port-powered, two-channel RS-232 to RS-422 converter. It converts TD and RD RS-232 lines to balanced RS-422 signals. The unit is powered from the RS-232 handshake lines DTR and RTS. Only one of these lines must be present, and the unit will work regardless of whether the lines are high or low. Both the RS-422 driver and receiver are enabled at all times.
To satisfy the requirements of some software, the RS-232 handshake lines are looped back (tied together). RTS is connected to CTS, and DTR is connected to DCD and DSR.
