AT-3600 Repeaters support various commonly used data rates (
baud rates
),
from 75 bps to 19.2 kbps, as well as an automatic baud rate detection mode.
Automatic baud rate detection mode is the default setting and facilitates
repeater connections. The interface supports either 7 or 8 data bits; even, odd
or no parity; and 1 or 2 stop bits.
The RS232 DCE signals Data Set Ready (DSR) and Clear To Send (CTS) will
be asserted constantly. The DTE signal Data Terminal Ready (DTR) must be
asserted at the hub, and Request To Send (RTS) will be ignored. These pre-
defined signals will provide compatibility with almost all possible user
devices. When using a “null modem” cable to interface to a modem, DTR and
RTS will be asserted constantly, and DSR and CTS will be ignored. This is
compatible with common auto-answer, full duplex modems. When you “quit” a
management agent session, DTR (DSR when using a DCE) is dropped
momentarily to inform the modem to take the circuit on-hook (“hang up”).
Be sure to “quit” the Omega session when you are finished; if you don’t, future
Telnet sessions will be blocked.
