negative state will also drop DCD on the remote side to a
negative state. DCD will also go LOW if the remote
SHM-B is powered down, or if the twisted-pair wire is
broken.

If X-ON/X-OFF characters are used for handshaking
control, rather than hardware logic levels, move the
RTS/DTR control switch to the DIS position.
Typically, units that use software X-ON/X-OFF flow
control do not want RTS to affect DCD on the remote
SHM-B. Moving the switch to the DIS position disables
the RTS/DCD relationship. The only thing that will
force DCD low with the switch in the DIS position is the
absence of power on the remote SHM-B or a broken
twisted-pair wire.
