transmit both DATA and RTS signals. It is advisable that the
follow- ing standard colors be used for the communication lines:

DATA- (G) Green
ADAM Utility Software
A menu-driven utility program is provided for ADAM-5000 system
configuration, monitoring and calibration. It also includes a
terminal emulation program that lets you easily communicate
through the ADAM command set. (See Chapter 5, Utility Software)
ADAM Isolated RS-232/RS-485 Converter (optional)
When the host computer or terminal has only a RS-232 port, an
ADAM Isolated RS-232/RS-485 Converter, connected to the host's RS-
232 port, is required. Since this module is not addressable by the host,
the baud rate must be set using a switch inside the module. The
factory default setting is 9600 baud.
ADAM Repeater ( optional)
When communication lines exceed 4000ft (1200 meters) or the number
of ADAM-5000 systems connected is more than 32, a repeater should
be connected to expand the first segment. Up to 32 repeater modules
can be connected allowing connection of up to 256 ADAM-5000
systems. As with the converter module, the repeater module is not
addressable by the host and the baud rate must be set by changing
the switch inside the module. The factory default setting is 9600 baud.
A.2 Basic Configuration Hook-up
Before placing the system in an existing network, the system should be
configured properly. Though the system is initially configured at the
factory, it is recommended you check that the baud rate is set correctly.
