Answer
When the input data matches one input string configured in Auto Answer, the output string will be transmitted to the serial port. Default:
Disabled.
DTR Mode
DTR Mode can be set to the following: Always On. Normal - the DTR status will depend on the existence of a CAS session. Off Interval -
