manual refers to "SI-65A", it refers to both SI-65A and SI-65A-L while when the manual refers to "SI-
65FA" it refers to both SI-65FA and SI-65FA-L.

1-3. Overview
SI-65, SI-65A, and SI-65FA are communication converters which convert asynchronous
communication on RS-422/485 into TCP/IP or UDP/IP communication on Ethernet.
These converters have built-in Lantronix XPort at the LAN interface part and the RS-
422/485 interface supports 4-wire full duplex and 2-wire half duplex. Thus It can be applied
to various systems which requires liability. You can control the device which has a serial
port from a PC on the network by socket communication. By using COM port redirector,
which is included in the CD-ROM, you can use it like com port communication. It is also
possible to extend the serial line without PC by connecting the two devices by LAN.

Chapter 2 SI-65(A/FA) Usage
2-1. SI-65(A/FA) Overview and Features
SI-65 is a DC powered model. SI-65A is a DC powered model which is adaptive to cold
district. SI-65FA has a built-in AC power supply and has a insulator between the interfaces
(Ethernet and the RS-422/485). These three models have the same function as to the conversion
function. You can set an IP address to the converter and the converter communicates with the
Ethernet device by TCP/IP or UDP/IP. When it receives data from serial side, it transmits the
data by putting it on the data part of the TCP/IP or UDP/IP packet. When it receives data from
the Ethernet side, it extracts the data part of the TCP/IP or UDP/IP packet and transmits it to the
serial part.

SI-65(A/FA) Line Monitoring Function
RS-485 communications of two-wire half duplex is required to send data after conrming
that any devices have not sent data into the RS-485 line. The line monitoring function
allows to detect that any devices have not sent data into the RS-485 line, and to conduct
the ow control. To use this function, the ow control of built-in XPort is required to set to
CTS/RTS (Hardware).
RS-485 Line Condition Flow Control Condition
The period of time from when to detect a space bit of the data
in the RS-485 line sent by another device, to when not to get
to continuously detect a space bit over internal timer time of
the converter, while the RS-485 driver of the converter is not
active.
Prohibits sending data
from the converter to the
RS-485 circuit.
The period of time when not to detect a space bit in the RS-
485 line which another device continuously sends over
internal timer time of the converter, or when the RS-485
driver of the converter is active.
Permits to send data from
the converter to the RS-
485 circuit.
*This function allows the ow control to operate in a direction of sending only. The
ow control in a direction of receiving does not operate.
