24.Select the DTE where you want to store receive messages.

DTE1: All receive messages are routed to the main DTE (connected to DTE1 on the communication unit) regardless of sub address.

DTE2: All receive messages are routed to the 2nd DTE (connected to DTE2 on the communication unit) regardless of sub address.

PC/DATA: All receive messages are routed to the PC/DATA (connected to PC/DATA on the communication unit) regardless of sub address (not used).

AUTO: Select to route messages with sub address 000 to the main DTE, and messages with the sub address of the 2nd DTE to the 2nd DTE. All other mes- sages are routed to the main DTE.

Note: Do not select DTE2 or Auto when there is no DTE con- nected to the DTE2 port; messages cannot be read from the communications unit.
