RTS

4

This signal will always be held

RTS will be held high when the

 

 

high

interface is ready to transmit data.

 

 

 

 

CTS

5

CTS is always assumed high

The interface will monitor the

 

 

 

CTS signal generated by the host

 

 

 

in response to RTS. When this

 

 

 

signal goes on (high), the host is

 

 

 

ready to receive data.

 

 

 

 

DSR

6

DSR is always assumed high

If DSR is low, the interface will

 

 

 

ignore all data received on the

 

 

 

serial port. This signal must hold

 

 

 

high for the interface to receive

 

 

 

and transmit data.
