Note
The COM1 pins are DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) which defines the direction of the signals (IN/OUT).
The COM1 pins are configured by default for Metadata mode but may be switched to Management mode (to connect to a computer for management of the encoder) using the metadata CLI command. The metadata command may also be used to select the transceiver mode for the metadata capture (i.e., RS-232 or RS-422). For details, see metadata in the Makito X1 Rugged Encoder User's Guide.
