1. Set RS485 termination to ON
2. Connect RS485 cable between host and target receiver
3. Set up Baudrate and minicom serial device for Host and Target

• print out baudrate in linux with command $stty -F /dev/<tty adress>
  
• to set custom baudrate use $stty -F /dev/<tty adress> <baudrate>
  

Example

4. Open mincom configuration with $minicom -s, navigate to “Serial port setup” and set the following parameters:

• Serial Device
  
• Bps/Par/Bits
  

Example

5. Save setup as dfl and exit to start the test
6. Start minicom on target receiver with $minicom -D /dev/<tty adress of target>
7. Test RS485 on Host with $echo <string> > /dev/<ttyadress of host>

Example

8. Minicom will print out the string sent by the Host
