hi, I am a long time user of freebsd but have no -NO knowledge of moxa multiport cards. I see there is great support for moxa on freebsd so I put my question forth. i have acquired Moxa Model cp-114 and am trying to figure out its usages. The CP-114 Series of multiport serial boards is designed for RS-232 and RS-422/485 industrial communication. The CP-114 Series has 2 ports for RS-232 or RS-422/485, selectable by jumper, and 2 ports for RS-422/485, with each RS-422/485 port able to control up to 32 devices in a multidrop environment. so does this mean I can wire up one of the rs-232 ports to a patch panel and then split that into 32 rj=45 connectors which would in turn be connected to various serial devices (pc/router/switchers). or do i need another box that translates these signals. I assumed the card did all the processing. thanks for any input
