Selecting RTS/CTS configures the Unit to monitor its CTS input (pin 5) to determine the host's status. This signal is
typically connected to a RTS output from the host. Select this option if the controls its RTS output to indicate status.

Selecting DSR/DSR/DTR configures the Unit to monitor its DSR input (pin 6) to determine host status. This signal is
typically connected to a DTR output from the host. Select this option if the host controls its DTR output to indicate status.
