It turns out they don’t call the port an RS485 port; they call it a Toshiba
Inverter Protocol port. They sell converters that converts the Toshiba port to
either RS232 or RS485. These cost about $130 on ebay, which I don’t necessarily
want to spend.
I found this;

I would mention that I bought a hand full of these for a project a few
years ago.

You can find like a 10 pack for $10, that is what I bought.. They are
still in service working on a 300 foot link to this day. At a buck a
piece, so much of the work is done.
Best, Dan.
