Will this work on Linux? For RS485 half duplex bus, how is switch between Rx vs Tx done?

It works very well with the raspberry pi (single board computer running a version of debian).

I think that the device is normally in the RX RS485 mode and passes RS485 buss data to the Virtual Com Port created by the USB.When the TX buffer is filled from the USB side, it switches to TX and then reverts to RX

Sorry, I don't know. The audio chipset is not properly supported by Linux (or was not at the time I got it) so I returned it and got an AUS Xonar card instead. That said, the PCI-E bus design permits a card to work in any slot that it fits in - in other words, an X1 card *should* work in an X2, X4, X8, ... slot if it is properly designed to the spec. Putting an X1 card into an X4 slot just wastes the extra capabilities the X4 slot provides.

this device uses a RaLink chipset. For Linux it needs the kernel module rt5370sta

RS-485 is half duplex (2 wires). For full duplex, you need RS-422 -- which this does support, but I've not used it.

As far as I can tel... You can't. If one control is pointer to both, both will interact. You can try to control them through the rs232 port (I dont know how to do it)

This was used in a custom XMBC HTPC so I can't give a straight answer on this. It should work on any HTPC build regardless of OS

One I have is a 2303HX. Bus 001 Device 009: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port Works fine on Linux

MANUFACTURER RESPONSE: Thanks for asking! S.M.A.R.T. status is supported using this docking station. I have tested smartctl under Fedora 20 and it works splendidly! This particular product uses the ASMedia ASM1053E Chipset. Sincerely,- Ivan Plugable Technologies

The stock firmware did have a bridge mode, and if you google "bridge mode on asus rt-n16" the first link shows you how to set it up. However I would firmly recomend DD-WRT if you feel up to the task of installing it.

You're only talking about switching internet signals going to a terminal node. So you should be fine.

I will not be able to answer your question, I can tell you I was happy with the xmiter and receiver pair but only controlling one switch.

I don't know if the basic functions work between the units, but you would be missing a a lot of a lot of the more advanced features of the XAB-64BT. The RM-X170 remote is what you need. It is available.

I ended up buying a different model (HP MCE Remote w/IR transceiver). It does not do what you want, and I doubt that any will. I agree with the comment from Lester Barraatt, that this would require BIOS level settings, and accompanying driver software functionality.

According to the 802.3af standard that this device adheres to, Mode B will allow a "hacked on" passive splitter on the other end. The flip side is that while the specification requires support for both Mode A and Mode B the power injector automatically decides which mode to use and your "splitter" or end device has no choice in the matter. "In mode B, pins 4-5 (pair #1 in both T568A and T568B) form one side of the DC supply and pins 7-8 (pair #4 in both T568A and T568B) provide the return; these are the "spare" pairs in 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX. Mode B, therefore, requires a 4-pair cable." I purchased the TP-Link POE splitter, it is cheap, easy, works great. Mine had a choice of 3 common voltages (5v, 9v, 12v I believe) but other splitters have only 2 output voltage choices.

It shouldn't be necessary. In my implementation, I'm only using the TX & RX lines only.

I've always used R T Systems programming software and it works good. Here's the link for their FT-60 programming equipment and software http://www.rtsystemsinc.com/FT-60-programming-software-and-USB-cable-s/1909.htm

It doesn't work at the logic voltage level that the technical rs232 spec requires. But the communications are serial protocol. You would need a logic level converter to use this with rs232.
