Introduction to Keypad dialing
fi‡ HDLC On Dial fi‡.
fi° Assert RTS Off Dial fi°.
When RTS is ON the MCA forces the RTS lead active and
assumes the local DTE is always ready to transmit or
receive data. There is no flow control.
fi· Assert RTS On Dial fi·.
RTS OFF allows RTS/CTS hardware flow control
handshaking. The local DTE can stop the data flow by
dropping the RTS lead, and the MCA drops the CTS lead.
The MCA then sends a message to the far end to drop the
CTS lead. When the DTE is ready, it starts the flow by
raising the RTS lead. The MCA raises the CTS lead and
the data transmits again.
Utilizing flow control (RTS OFF) allows the MCA to
operate with printers or other DTE devices that also
utilities flow control.
