 ====== MOD-COM4 ====== ====== MOD-COM4 ======
 +The MOD-COM4 is a modular unit capable of up to 4 x RS232 ports, also configurable for RS422 and RS485.\\
 +
 +===== Quick Reference Guide =====
 +
 +The Modules Quick Reference Guide provides the basic information required to get started on a printable, black and white document that can be easily taken with you to a job site. [[http://​www.commandfusion.com/​docs/​quick/​QuickReferenceGuide-Modules.pdf|Find the Modules Quick Reference Guide here.]]
 +
 +
 +===== Ports =====
 +
 +Front of the module has two 6-pin connectors, the top row and bottom row.\\
 +Each row can be configured as either:\\
 +  * 2 x RS232 without flow control
 +  * 1 x RS232 with flow control
 +  * 1 x RS485 half-duplex
 +  * 1 x RS485/422 full-duplex
 +Note that when using any RS232 mode in combination with RS485 or RS422 (any duplex type), the RS232 must be on ports 3 and/or 4 (bottom row).\\
 +RS232 can never be in ports 1 or 2 (top row) when using alongside RS485 or RS422 (bottom row).\\
 +\\
 +For more details on the MOD-COM4 port configuration options, please see the [[hardware:​cflink:​com-module-cflink-documentation|MOD-COM4 CFLink documentation]].\\
 +
 +==== Front Pinouts ====
