7.1 RTS/CTS Handshake

Transmission of RTS, combined with reception of CTS, allows for hardware handshaking (data flow control) between the UART and the external device. RTS is transmitted on AUXOUT by not connecting pins 1 and 2 of the jumper blocks J11-12. CTS is received on AUXIN by not connecting pins 1 and 2 of the jumper block J10. If RTS/CTS handshaking is not desired, the RTS output can be looped back to the CTS input by connecting pins 1 and 2 of the jumper block J10. Figure 16 shows how to select the RTS/CTS mode.

7.2 RCLK

This is the clock signal used by the receiver portion of the UART. It is generally provided by connecting it to the UART's own transmit clock output (TCLK). This is done by not connecting pins 1 and 2 of the jumper block J13. If desired, RCLK can be received from an external source over the AUXIN line by connecting pins 1 and 2 of the jumper block J13. Figure 17 shows how to select the RCLK mode.
