Communications Protocol
The Encore 2 supports RTS/CTS (hardware) and XON/
XOFF handshaking protocols to synchronize with the
host terminal. The handshaking protocol and the baud
rate is programmable. The default communications
parameters are:
Handshaking = RTS/CTS Baud Rate = 9,600
Parity = None Data Bits = 8
Stop Bits = 1
Pin Assignments
The following are the pin assignments for the 8-pin DIN
RS232C serial connector.
