DTR State Configuration

Description
DTR is an RS-232 signal sent from a computer or terminal to a modem that indicates
that it (the computer or terminal) is able to accept data. DTR lead control is configured
using two menu items:
zDTR connect state—Sets the DTR connect state to ON or OFF. ON sets DTR to on
while the link is connecting and while it is connected. OFF turns this functionality
off.
zDTR disconnect state—Sets the DTR disconnect state to one of the following
options:
zON—Sets DTR to on when the link disconnects.
zOFF—Sets DTR to off when the link disconnects.
zTOGGLE—Makes DTR pulse when the link disconnects. The pulse polarity is
opposite to the sense specified for the connected state.
Note: The RTS/DTR lead control options only take effect when the link is configured
as a destination link.
