Introduction
Overview
The Sealevel Systems ULTRA COMM+422 provides the PC with four
additional RS-422/485 serial ports for terminals, modems, printers, etc.
The unique feature of the ULTRA COMM+422 is the ability to be RS-485
compatible without the need for special software or drivers. This ability is
especially useful in Windows, Windows NT, and OS/2 environments where the
lower level I/O control is abstracted from the application program. This ability
means that the user can effectively use the ULTRA COMM+422 in an RS-485
application with existing (i.e. standard RS-232) software drivers.
Note: The ‘Auto Enable’ feature is not available on the p/n 3441.
