Oooops. We use straight cable wiring for Micros POS System only.
You need to use cross wiring configuration with RS485 cable and use twisted pair for pin1 & 2 and other pair for pin 3&4.
. Pls see attach picture for RS485 and RS232 cable
You can use straight cable for ethernet Moxa connection. If it didn't work. Use cross cable.
RS232 cable can be used with hardware handshaking or software handshaking for PC communication. Don't forget to set Baud rate setting between to serial device.
