Telenetics 2185
3-7
Switch Segment 2-7 — Main Channel RTS/DCD Strapping
• Switch 2-7 set to up position – RTS/DCD transparent
• Switch 2-7 set to down position – RTS/DCD strapped ON
When switch segment 2-7 is set for transparent RTS/DCD operation, the
main channel outbound RTS or DCD signal is ON only when a subchan-
nel is active.
When switch segment 2-7 is set to the down position, the main channel
RTS/DCD is strapped ON at all times.
Switch Segment 2-8 — Main Channel CTS Strapping
• Switch 2-8 set to up position –CTS strapped ON
• Switch 2-8 set to down position – CTS transparent
This switch is ignored when the main channel is connected to a DTE
device.
If the 2185 is set for CTS strapped ON, CTS is sent to a contending sub-
channel DTE device as soon as the main channel is available.
When switch segment 2-8 is set for transparent CTS, the CTS signal is
not set to a contending subchannel DTE device until CTS has been
received ON from the main channel device. See Figures 3-3 through
3-8.
