HECKING
The Configurator validates individual parameter values as they are entered. This includes checking for
parameter interdependencies. In some cases the Configurator will change multiple parameter values as
the result of a single change by the operator. For example, when an async port Communications
Interface is changed from DTE to DCE, the Flow Control from Device and Device Ready pin numbers
are forced to Pins 5 and 6 (CTS and DSR), respectively.
