UPort 1100 Series User’s Manual 1K Introduction TR ON DIP 1 2 3 150 KX Adjustable Pull High/low, Terminator Resistors for the RS-485 Port In some critical environments, you may need to add termination resistors to prevent the reflection of serial signals. When using termination resistors, it is important to set the pull high/low resistors correctly so that the electrical signal is not corrupted. The UPort uses DIP switches to set the pull high/low resistor values for each serial port.
