The USB485 is a non isolated USB to 485 converter.

USB 485 Connections (See 2300-XX Manual for complete wiring diagram)

NOTE: A Terminating Resistor of 1k MUST always be used with USB 485 and 2300-XX stations (put at the end station of a dataloop).

The USB 485 drivers are included with the Version 5 Install. When the driver is installed, windows will assign the USB 485 a COM port which the MicroScan then uses to communicate with the USB 485. Once the driver has been installed, the Add Station Wizard of Version 5 will be able to find the port and search for attached 2300-XX stations.
