    Parameter Menus Hardware Handshaking (Continued) When Option 2 is selected, RTS is always high or low (user-programmed logic level). However, the scanner waits for CTS to be asserted before transmitting data. If CTS is not asserted within two seconds (default), the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.

    P370/P470 Keyless RF Scanners Product Reference Guide Software Handshaking (Continued) ACK/NAK When this option is selected, after transmitting data, the cradle expects either an ACK, Acknowledge, or NAK, Negative Acknowledge, response from the host. Whenever a NAK is received, the cradle transmits the same data again and waits for either an ACK or NAK. After three unsuccessful attempts to send data when NAKs are received, the cradle issues an error indication and discards the data.
