The parts of the DTREnable property syntax are described in the following table.
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| object | An object expression that evaluates to an object. |
| Value | A Boolean expression specifying whether to enable the Data Terminal Ready (DTR) line, as described in Settings. |
The settings for value are described in the following table.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| True | Enable the Data Terminal Ready line. |
| False | (Default) Disable the Data Terminal Ready line. |
When the DTREnable property 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.
In most cases, setting the Data Terminal Ready line to low hangs up the telephone.
