64 Chapter 5: Matrox 4Sight-M hardware reference
On Matrox 4Sight-M, you can activate internal resistor termination to eliminate distortion caused by these reflections. To connect internal resistor termination on your unit, adjust the internal dip switch accordingly. Note that on a Matrox 4Sight-M unit in a multidrop network, internal resistor termination is available exclusively for the receivers.

Two-wire multidrop

network

The following illustrates a typical RS-485 two-wire multidrop network that Matrox 4Sight-M cannot support.Note that because the driver and receiver for the Matrox 4Sight-M serial port are always enabled, the unit cannot be connected to a typical RS-485 two-wire multidrop network shown below.
