Enables RS-485 networking and configures the necessary RS-485 parameters on the MSS-VIA and the MSS4. RS-485 networking is explained in the Configuration chapter of your MSS installation guide.

Restrictions	Requires privileged user status.
Errors	Only applies to the MSS-VIA and the MSS4 (the MSS485 is configured via
	jumpers).
Parameters	Port
	MSS4 only. Specifies a particular port or group of ports.
Note:	In the absence of the PortList parameter, the configuration will affect the MSS4’s
	current port only.
	PortList
	Specify a particular port or group of ports. Port numbers are specified with
	integers between 1 and 4, and should be separated with commas (for lists) or
	dashes (for ranges).
	Enabled/Disabled
	Enables or Disables RS-485 mode. By default, the MSS is configured for RS-
	232 networking.
	Mode
	When RS-485 Mode is enabled, you must choose either two-wire or four-wire
	mode. If you do not explicitly set a mode with this command, the MSS will
	default to four-wire mode.
	2Wire
	Sets the MSS to use two-wire mode.
	4Wire
	Sets the MSS to use four-wire mode.
	Termination
	Enable termination whenever you are using long cable runs and Disable it at
	other times. Only end nodes should be terminated.
