6.5 2-Wire Operation
The QSP-200/300’s ports may be configured for either full duplex or half duplex operation. By
default, the RS-422/485 ports are configured for full duplex operation with the RS-422/485
output drivers always enabled.
In half duplex mode, the RS-422/485 transmitter may be enabled and disabled via the RTS
(request to send) or DTR (data terminal ready) signals. Both RTS and DTR are controlled
through the Modem Control Register of the 16550.
