Data and control interface

The DART 200 uses the following eight leads on the RS-232 interface.
Carrier Detect (DCD) - Optional**
Receive Data (RXD) - Required*
Transmit Data (TXD) - Required*
Data Terminal Ready (DTR) - Optional**
Signal ground (GND) - Required*
Data Set Ready (DSR) - Optional**
Request to Send (RTS) - Optional†
Clear to Send (CTS) - Optional†
*The DART 200 cannot communicate with the attached device without these
three signals. In addition, the DART 200 requires these three signal lines to
accommodate firmware downloads.
** If the MAS device can sense and signal on these lines, use them. If not, they
can be ignored. These lines are used for signaling between the DART 200 and
the (MAS). DCD and DSR pass information from the DART to the MAS, and
DTR is used by the MAS to signal the modem.
†
Not required if your MAS does not support flow control (\Q0), or if it uses
software flow control (\Q1). Provides hardware flow control between the DART
and the MAS. This is the default (\Q2) for the DART.

CDPD status sensing

Permits the MAS to determine the following without escaping to
command mode, issuing an ATS57?, and testing for specific bits being
on:
1. Does the modem still have a connection to the host system?
