4.2.4 Flow control

The factory default setting of the flow control is None. Only hardware flow control using RTS/CTS is

supported by the HelloDevice Pro Series. Hardware flow control method controls data communication

flow by sending signals back and forth between two connected devices.

Note:

Flow control is supported only in RS232 mode. RS422 and RS485 mode do not support any kind of

flow control method in hardware or software.

It can be configured using the menu 6.Flow control.

4.2.5 DTR/DSR behavior

The purpose of the DTR/DSR pin is to emulate modem signal control or to control TCP connection

state by using serial port signal. The DTR is a write-only output signal, whereas the DSR is a read-only

input signal in the HelloDevice Pro Series side.

The DTR output behavior can be set to one of three types: always high, always low or show TCP

connection. If the DTR behavior is set to show TCP connection, the state of the DTR pin will be

maintained high if the TCP connection is established.

The DSR input behavior can be set to one of three types: none, open/close TCP connection or allow

TCP connection only by high. Open/close TCP connection is valid only if the host mode is a TCP client

or equivalent. If the DSR behavior is set to open/close TCP connection, the high state of the DSR pin

will make the HelloDevice Pro Series send a connection request to the specified destination host,
