Serial Transmission with RS-232 
For the RS-232 communication method, connect the signal wires to the 
screw terminal at the CPU board FSC202. See Figure 26 on page 50. The 
flow control lines RTS and CTS are not required but they can be used.  
The hardware flow control can be enabled in FS11 with command SET 
DATA_PORT RS-232 HW_FLOW_CNTR. During hardware flow 
control, the control line RTS indicates 'Ready for Receiving'. 
The hardware transmit control can be enabled in FS11 with command 
SET DATA_PORT RS-232 HW_TRANSMIT_CNTR. During 
hardware transmit control, the control line RTS indicates 'Request to 
Send' and can be used for modem carrier control. 
By default the RTS and CTS lines are not used. 
NOTE 
The cable shield of the RS
-232 cable must be properly grounded in the 
cable gland of the interface
 unit's enclosure, see Figure 25 on page 48.
