Verilink DIU2130 -- CTS --

CTS stands for Clear To Send, it is a control lead presented by the DCE (Data Communications Equipment) to indicate that the DTE may now transmit. CTS is the logical result of RTS being on and no major alarm condition being present. The Verilink DIU2130 is DCE (Data Communications Equipment) which expects to receive RTS as an input from the DTE (Data Terminal Equipment). Typically if RTS is not asserted by the DTE then no user data is conveyed end to end.

If the DTE does not assert RTS this option allows the DIU2130 to behave as it would if RTS were asserted by the DTE. The DIU2130 will output CTS (Clear To Send) as a HIGH or asserted value when CTS is on for that port.

This feature can be set independently for port 1 and/or port 2.

The user types "CTS" and gets this response:


force cts handshake port(s) (1) 1 (2) 2 (3) both (4) none >
The display as shown in our example reflects CTS forced on port 1 and not on port 2.
