Verilink DIU2130 -- RTS --

RTS stands for Request To Send, it is a control lead presented by the DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) to indicate that it has data that it would like to transmit. 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 RTS is on for that port.

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

The user types "RTS" and gets this response:


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