DTR Enable
Used to assert DTR (Data Terminal Ready) line of the RS-232 Port when the port is open for the Primary and Secondary
COM Ports. Default is NO.
Swap COM Ports
Clicking the Swap Com Ports button moves the Secondary COM Port settings to the Primary COM Port (and moves the
Primary COM Port to the Secondary settings). Since Guardian programming is done through the Primary COM Port, this
is useful when two units are connected to the Primary and Secondary COM Ports. A Swap COM Ports allows the second
unit to be programmed without switching programming cables.
