N3680 Decoded Engine User Guide 25
RS232 Receiver Time-Out
The unit stays awake to receive data until the RS232 Receiver Time-Out expires. A 
manual or serial trigger resets the time-out. When an RS232 receiver is sleeping, a 
character may be sent to wake up the receiver and reset the time-out. A transaction 
on the CTS line will also wake up the receiver. The receiver takes 300 milliseconds 
to completely come up. Change the RS232 receiver time-out by scanning the bar 
code below, then scanning digits from the inside back cover of this manual, then 
scanning Save. The range is 0 to 300 seconds. Default = 0 seconds (no time-out - 
always on).
RS232 Handshaking
RS232 Handshaking allows control of data transmission from the scan engine 
using software commands from the host device. When RTS/CTS is turned Off, no 
data flow control is used. 
Flow Control, No Timeout: The scan engine asserts RTS when it has data to send, 
and will wait indefinitely for CTS to be asserted by the host.
Two-Direction Flow Control: The scan engine asserts RTS when it is OK for the 
host to transmit. The host asserts CTS when it is OK for the device to transmit.
