2.HARDWARE INTRODUCTION
The Elfin-EE1X unit is a complete solution for serial port device connecting to network. This powerful
device supports a 10/100BASE-T Ethernet connection, a reliable and proven operating system stored
in flash memory, an embedded web server, a full TCP/IP protocol stack, and standards-based (AES)
encryption.
Through Ethernet cable connect router with Elfin-EE1X serial server for data transfer, which makes
the data transformation very simple.

2.4. RS485 Interface
RS485 use two wire links, A(DATA+), B(DATA-). Connect A(+) to A(+), B(-) to B(-) for communication.
Suggest to connect GND together when interference is very severe.
The RS485 interface support maximum 32 RS485 device. The cable maximum length is 1200 meters.
Need to add 120Ohm terminal resistor for over 300 meters.
