StarTech ICUSB422IS Reviews

Does not work as described

When using RS-422 mode (four wires), it does not work at all with RS-422 signal. When switched to RS-485 (two wires) with RS-422 four wire signal! it sometimes works but it depends on how loose the wires are attached! If they are firmly attached, then it does not detect any signal! In most cases it does not detect the baud rate correctly, so the output will be garbage. Very poor design! The signal is perfect on the oscilloscope.
