Unidirectional X-on/X-off

This command (on the advanced features menu) determines whether X-onlX-off are interpreted as data flow control characters or simply as data. This command is applicable only on the Caretaker Plus serial ports which are configured to use the X- on/X-off software handshaking protocol. When this feature is enabled, all X-on/X-off characters received on any port are interpreted as data flow control characters and are not transmitted to their destination port. When this feature is disabled, X-on/X-off characters received on port O will be used as data flow control characters; however, X- on/X-off characters received on ports 1-8 will be interpreted as data and passed through to port 0 for transmission. This is useful when plotting or printing graphics that contain X- on/X-off characters as part of the graphics data. The factory default is enabled. To change this feature, enter U to the choice prompt and answer Y or N to enable or disable the

unidirectional X-on/X-off.

Enter choice (U.R.A.F,X. or H for help) U<ENTER> Use unidirectional X-on/X-off (Y/N)? Y<ENTER>
