RS-422 and RS-485 Mode Pinout
Table 21 provides the serial port connector pinout when RS-422 or RS-485 modes are enabled.
Facing the serial port connector, the pinout is:

Note When using the serial port in RS-485 mode, the serial transmitters are enabled and disabled under
software control. The transmitters are enabled by manipulating the Request To Send (RTS*) signal of the
serial port controller. This signal is controlled by writing bit 1 of the Modem Control Register (MCR) as
follows:
• If MCR bit 1 = 1, then RTS* = 0, and serial transmitters are disabled
• If MCR bit 1 = 0, then RTS* = 1, and serial transmitters are enabled
Note For more information on the serial port registers, including the MCR, refer to the Serial Port
Programming reference on page 99.
