From MC2E
(TXD-) RS-422 Transmit Data (Idles low)
* RS-422 transmit and receive are balanced signals requiring two lines plus 
a ground in each direction. RXD+ and TXD+ should idle high (going low at 
start of data transmission). RXD- and TXD- should idle low (going high at 
start of data transmission). If necessary, RXD+/RXD- and TXD+/TXD- may 
be swapped to maintain correct signal levels.
