RTSEnable

This property determines whether to enable the Request To Send (RTS) line. Typically, a desktop computer sends the RTS signal to its attached modem. The RTS signal is a request for permission to transmit data.

Syntax

object.RTSEnable [= value]

Parameters

object

Object expression that evaluates to a Comm control.

value

Boolean expression that specifies whether the RTS line is enabled. Following are the settings for value:

True

Enables the RTS line

False (default)

Disables the RTS line

Remarks

When RTSEnable is set to True, the RTS line is set to high (on) when the port is opened, and low (off) when the port is closed.

The RTS line is used in RTS/CTS hardware handshaking. The RTSEnable property enables you to manually poll the RTS line if you need to determine its state.
