AeroNode 232

Two RS-485 trunks plus two RS-232 ports.

The same controller with a mixed serial configuration. COM3 and COM4 are isolated RS-485 trunks for BACnet MS/TP or Metasys N2. COM1 and COM2 are RS-232 ports for point-to-point serial equipment through Aero's RS-232 drivers. Everything else matches the AeroNode 485.
