RS422/RS485 screw terminal block connector 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Either an 8 pin 3.81 mm (X9) or an 12 pin 2.5 mm (X19) can be mounted.

The RS422/RS485 port is connected to ser3 on ETRAX 100. /dev/ttyS3 in 
Linux/ETRAX.
The direction of the combined RX/TX pair on pin 5 and 6 on X9 (7 and 9 on X19)
is controlled by the RTS signal. When RTS is active (low), the driver is set
in receive mode.
The combined pair is used for half duplex RS-485.
