8-23
The DTR and DSR signals from the TNC indicate the operational status of the TNC and peripheral
(these cannot be set via the machine parameters).
DTR:
Interrogated by peripheral; it is logic "1" if TNC is ready for service.
DSR: Interrogated by TNC.
LOW level => ext. data input/output not ready.
HIGH level => ext. data input/output ready.
Software handshaking
Bit 3 determines whether the TNC stops transfer from an external device with control character
If transfer is stopped with character
incoming characters are lost. Software handshake is normally recommended when interfaces are
connected to an external device.
The following pin layout is possible for the external device:

A HEIDENHAIN standard cable, ref. 242 869, is recommended.
The TNC reacts both to hardware and software handshakes, regardless of the setting in
MP5020.x.
If no transmission stop is set in the MP5020.x, the TNC stops the peripheral unit with the software
handshake.
If transmission stop by both RTS and by DC3 is active, the TNC stops transfer with the hardware
handshake.
