The AS-P-3 model has four removable screw terminal blocks, one for the power input and three for RS-485 serial communications.
Recommended screw tightening torque: 0.56 Nm (5 lbf.in)
    The removable screw terminal blocks are used as follows:
One 3-position terminal block for the power input
One 4-position terminal block for the RS-485 Com A port
One 3-position terminal block for the RS-485 Com B port
One 3-position terminal block for the RS-485 Com C port
The RS-485 Com C port cannot currently be configured for BACnet MS/TP communication.

The screw terminals 4 to 13, intended for RS-485 communication, act as connectors to the automation server and are easily inserted/removed without disrupting the network. Doing so may help in isolating possible RS-485 communication problems.
