Special circuitry within the driver lets it work with any
DTE that can be polled, regardless of the DTE’s RTS support,
so you get total compatibility with your DTE hardware.
The RS-232/RS-485 Multipoint Line Driver can be jumpered
for a user-selectable port timeout. After the last character
is sent from one of the ports and a specified period of time
passes, the line driver disables any transmission from that port.
This way, a single port won’t monopolize your network.

You can order the RS-232/RS-485 Multipoint Line Driver
in standalone 115-VAC (ME836A-R5), standalone 230-VAC
(ME836AE-R3), and rackmount card (ME836C-R5) versions.
Cables are included with the 115-VAC standalone model
and the rackmount card model.
