When using hardware (RTS/CTS control):
•
When the data in the receive buffer exceeds 85% of
the buffer, CA(RTS) is set to OFF and the controller is
notified that there is not much space remaining in the
buffer.
•
Processing of the data in the buffer continues, and
then CA(RTS) is set to ON and the controller is noti-
fied that there is sufficient remaining space in the buf-
fer when the amount of data becomes less than 25%.
When using software (XON/XOFF control):
•
When the data in the receive buffer exceeds 75% of
the buffer, XOFF(13H) is sent and the controller is notified that there is not much space remaining in
the buffer.
•
Processing of the data in the buffer continues, and then XON(11H) is sent and the controller is notified
that there is sufficient remaining space in the buffer when the amount of data becomes less than 25%.
When using hardware (RTS/CTS control):
•
When CB(CTS) is confirmed to be OFF, the sending of data is halted. When it is confirmed to be ON,
the sending of data is resumed.
When using software (XON/XOFF control):
•
When XOFF is received, the sending of data is halted. When XON is received, the sending of data is
resumed.
