Determines whether to enable the Data Terminal Ready (DTR) line during communications. Typically, the Data Terminal Ready signal is sent by a computer to its modem to indicate that the computer is ready to accept incoming transmission.
Syntax
object.DTREnable[ = value ]
The DTREnable property syntax has these parts:
| Part | Description |
| object | An object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list. |
| Value | A Boolean expression specifying whether to enable the Data Terminal Ready (DTR) line, as described in Settings. |
Settings
The settings for value are:
| Setting | Description |
| True | Enable the Data Terminal Ready line. |
| False | (Default) Disable the Data Terminal Ready line. |
Remarks
When DTREnable is set to True, the Data Terminal Ready line is set to high (on) when the port is opened, and low (off) when the port is closed. When DTREnable is set to False, the Data Terminal Ready always remains low.
Note In most cases, setting the Data Terminal Ready line to low hangs up the telephone.
