ACCESSORIES
Data flow may also be software controlled using the RTS line. Data from the
host PC is sent to all attached devices. Port combiners can be cascaded by
connecting the master port of each successive unit to one of the slave ports of
the preceding unit. Each additional port combiner adds one slave port to the
system. Model 232PTC9 requires an external 12 VDC @ 100 mA power supply
(sold separately).
