Note:
Do not leave a USB to EIA-485 converter connected to Standard Bus without
power (i.e., disconnecting the USB end from the computer while leaving the
converter connected on Standard Bus). Disturbance on the Standard Bus
may occur.
Note:
When connecting the USB converter to the PC it is suggested that the La-
tency Timer be changed from the default of 16 msec to 1 msec. Failure to
make this change may cause communication loss between the PC running
EZ-ZONE Configurator software and the control.
To modify Latency Timer settings follow the steps below:
1. Navigate to Device Manager.
2. Double click on Ports.
3. Right click on the USB serial port in use and select Properties.
4. Click the tab labeled Port settings and then click the Advance button.
