4.2.2 DTE to DTE with Handshaking
Some DTE devices may require hardware handshaking lines. The most common are the CTS and
RTS lines. Less common are the DTR and DCD lines. The controller does not require these lines.
Refer to the specifications of the external device for exact requirements. The following diagram
shows a common connection of an RS-232 COM port with a DTE device requiring handshaking
lines.

4.2.3 DTE to DCE with Handshaking
DCE devices require different wiring. The handshaking lines must be connected in most cases. Note
that many DCE devices are half duplex. Select half-duplex operation with these devices. The
diagram below shows common connection of a SCADAPack with a DCE device requiring
handshaking lines.
