Modem Control
Signals The terminal window displays the modem control signals as gray
or green lights at the top of the window. The first four are inputs:
The lights are green if they are turned on, or gray if turned off.
The text on the light also changes from uppercase (CTS), which is on, to lowercase
(cts), which is off.
Note: Ring indicator is only available on the RocketPort Plus and the RocketPort
Universal PCI Quad/Octacables adapters.
The next two lights are outputs:
Note: If you have a loopback plug connected and you click on one of the outputs,
the corresponding signal is sent to the input and the input lights should
toggle accordingly.
The right most light is the loop indicator:
If this is on, the COM port internal loopback feature is activated and any
information or code entered in the terminal window loops back through the COM
port circuitry. If this is off, the COM port internal loopback is deactivated, and any
information or code entered in the terminal window is sent out of the port.
