ETX/ACK Handshaking ETX/ACK
Off
Possible Values: Off*, On
Enables or disables the ACK response to receipt of the ETX character.
This handshake method is useful for conditions where there are long
transmission line delays such as telephone lines, which may be routed
through satellites. An ACK character will be returned to the host computer
after an ETX character is received and processed. ETX characters used
for handshaking cannot be part of an escape sequence.
RTS/CTS Handshaking RTS/CTS
OFF
Possible Values: Power On/Off*
If your Host system requires or supports hardware handshaking for data
flow control, it may be useful to change this parameter to ON. This may
apply especially to older Host systems using Full-duplex communications.
Parallel/LAN Interface Items
Since the optional LAN interface goes into the Parallel port, these interface
parameters are the same.
