Hardware automatically enables
the transmitters when
transmitting. Transmitters will
turn off three bit-times after the
last stop bit of the last character,
regardless of baud rate. Used in
two-wire communication.
Auto Toggle
DTR is set to enable the
transmitters. Used in two-wire
communication
Half Duplex using DTR
RTS is set to enable the
transmitters. Used in two-wire
communication.
Half Duplex using RTS
Transmitters and receivers are
always enabled; ports can send
and receive simultaneously.
Used in four-wire
communication.
Full Duplex
RS-422/485 Duplex Mode
Receivers are only enabled when
not transmitting. In a Half
Duplex mode, you will not
receive what you transmit.
When NOT Tranmitting
Receivers are always enabled. In
a Half Duplex mode, you will
receive what you transmit
(sometimes called echo).

8. To summarize the RS-422/485 output drivers enable options: The
DSCLP-200/300’s ports may be configured for either full duplex or
half duplex operation with this option. The default setting is 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, or in
auto-toggle mode, set to enable only when data is being transmitted.
Both RTS and DTR are controlled through the Modem Control
Register of the 16550.

The DSCLP-200/300 driver will display a custom Advanced Port
Settings control, which allows the ports UART compatibility mode
and FIFO threshold levels to be configured. The threshold values of
