A message appears on the LCD display indicating the change is in progress, and another indicating the change is complete. When finished, the display returns to the RS-232 sub-menu.

Flow Control (Hardware)

All models use the RTS and CTS pins on the RS-232 port to regulate the transmission and reception of data. You can enable or disable flow control on the front panel, and set the flow control type in the Unit Properties window in Console.

If you select On (default) from the front panel LCD menu, select Hardware as the flow control type in the Unit Properties window. If you disable flow control on the front panel, select None in the Unit Properties window. When None is selected, the unit ignores flow control, and the relies on the connected external control device to ensure data is not lost.

NOTE: ClearOne recommends that you leave Flow Control enabled and connect all DB9 pins to avoid communication errors.
