Control of Transmitted Data in Half-Duplex Mode
In half-duplex mode, the transmission buffer needs to be controlled
in order to prevent collision of transmitted data. The BOX-PC
uses RTS and controls the buffer with modem control register's bit 1.
Transmission and reception gate control by the register setting of
port address 4006h and 4007h is allowed only for the RS-422/485
(Serial port D). For more information see section, "General-
purpose I/O and Remote Reset" in Chapter 5.
Modem control register
(Set I/O address +4H) bit 1: 0 … RTS is High.
(Disable transmission)
1 … RTS is Low.
(Enable transmission)
