I have a document with connection information to a device over a serial port. It specifies ‘full duplex’ as the setting for flow control. Under Windows, I have the following options for setting up the flow control:
What is the equivalent of ‘full duplex’ in the above list?
‘xon/xoff’ is a synonym of ‘software flow control’ (as opposed to ‘hardware flow control’).
‘full duplex’ means ‘in both directions’; theoretically you can enable software flow control or hardware flow control in one direction only (i.e. ‘half duplex’), or in both directions (‘full duplex’) … so there’s not enough information to answer the question.
What kind of device is it? If I had to guess, my first guess would be ‘hardware’ flow control, simply because ‘software flow control’ is less compatible than ‘hardware flow control’ with transferring binary data.
