Chapter 2: Introduction This chapter provides basic information about the wired and wireless versions of the XPress DR+. The wireless version has two modes of operation: wireless and wired. In wired mode, the wireless functionality is not used, and the unit behaves identically to the wired XPress DR+. In wireless mode, the unit's behavior is wireless to serial, and the Ethernet ports are not functional. Unless otherwise noted, information in this User Guide applies to both versions of th

Chapter 3: Installation and Hardware Figure 3-2. Front of XPress DR+ Serial Interface The XPress DR+ supports RS-232 via RJ45 connectors. It also supports RS-422/485 via screw terminals (Serial Port 2 only). Note: Serial Port 2 supports RS232, RS422, and RS485, but only one mode at a time. This means you can use either the RJ45 connector or the terminal block, not both. The RJ45 serial connectors only support RS232, up to 230400 bits per second. XPress DR+ User Guide 20
