Edgeport/2i provides a combination of up to two RS-422 and/or RS-485 serial DB-9 ports. For more detailed information, as well as the latest manual and technical updates, visit www.digi.com.
Configuring the DIP Switches Two Position Switch The two position DIP switch, located on the back panel, connects the signal ground to chassis ground. IMPORTANT: Do not connect signal ground to chassis ground on more than one location in order to prevent ground loops and potentially high currents (figure 1).

Edgeport Driver Installation For Windows XP, Server 2003, Server 2008, and Vista Note: You must be logged into an account with administrator privileges before proceeding. Note: Please go to www.digi.com to download software for older Operating Systems. 1. Connect the USB cable. (Refer to the Table of Contents to locate the cabling instructions for your specific Edgeport model.

The Edgeport Utility Program For All Windows Operating Systems The Edgeport configuration utility program (edgeport.exe) allows you to manage the serial ports of your Edgeport product. Note that with Windows NT you must have administrative privileges in order to change the COM port settings. For more information, see the Support section at www.digi.com. General Tab The General tab in this utility allows you to do the following: Information - Check the manufacturing information pertaining to your device.
Configure - Reassign the physical port on your device to any available Windows COM port number from 1 to 255 and give your device a user friendly Device Name. This capability is particularly helpful if you have more than one device. Port Flags - Configure performance options and special functionality on a per-port basis. Edgeport Industrial Installation Guide (90000409 Rev.
Low Latency: (930 based Edgeport only) Normally the UART will interrupt when the receiver has been idle for 4 character times. (For example 4ms at 9600) As long as data is being received the UART will continue to buffer them until its internal FIFO is full (~56 bytes). This flag causes the Edgeport to poll the RX FIFO for received bytes. If any bytes are available they will be sent to the driver without any delay.
Test Ports - Perform a confidence test on the internal workings of the serial ports. Power Management – Turn on and off the power for Hubports with USB PlusPower ports Edgeport Industrial Installation Guide (90000409 Rev.
Port Status – Provide the status of a selected (highlighted) serial port. The Poll Interval is the number of seconds between updates of this window. This is also the number of seconds between each entry in the log file. To create a log file, click the Start Logging button and enter a filename for the log file. This file will contain all of the information displayed in the Port Status window until the Stop Logging button is clicked. Refresh – Scan for ports. Note that NT 4.0 does not automatically scan.
Uninstall the drivers. Enable Event Logging – Place event messages in system event log. Configure how COM ports will be assigned. The driver supports COM port number assignment in two ways: 1. Assign COM ports based on converter serial number. This is the default setting. In this mode, the driver uses the serial number of each converter to uniquely identify it, and the COM port assignments for a given converter are based on its serial number.
Understanding Hubs Hubs, critical components in the USB architecture, are wiring concentrators that enable the attachment of multiple devices, thus converting a single attachment point into multiple attachment points. USB architecture allows a cascaded multiple hub configuration with certain power limitations (explained later in this section). See figure 1.
