Automatic Baudrate DetectionThe TCF-142 converters can automatically detect the serial baudrate, which is an extremely convenient feature. Even if a device’s baudrate ischanged, the signal will still be transmitted through the media converter without any data loss.Ring OperationThe TCF-142 converters can be used to connect serial devices to afiber ring. To form the ring, connect the Tx port of one TCF-142 to theRx port of a neighboring converter. Once the ring is set up, simply usethe DIP switches to configure the TCF-142 converters for ring mode.When one node transmits a signal, the signal travels around the ringuntil it returns back to the transmitting unit, which then blocks thesignal. With the TCF-142, you can set up fiber rings that have a totalcircumference of up to 100 km.Automatic Data Direction ControlAutomatic Data Direction Control (ADDC) is a hardware data flow solution developed by Moxa to handle RS-485 data direction control. ADDC senses and controls RS-485 data direction automatically, making it unnecessary to use the handshaking signal.
