MODEMSTATUS

Modem Control data structure.

Type

BYTE  fbModemOn
BYTE  fbModemOff

C Declaration Method

typedef struct

Fields

fbModemOn

Modem Control Signals ON Mask.

The physical device driver sets the modem control signals as defined in this field. Bit 0 is DTR; bit 1 is RTS. If any other bits are set/reset by the masks, then a general failure error results. The OFF mask contains a mask (with all bits equal to 0) to turn the modem control signal off. The ON mask contains a mask (with all bits equal to 1) to turn the modem control signal on. If the Parameter Packet indicates both turn off and turn on on the same bit, the bit will be turned on. For example:

┌─────────┬─────────┬───────────────┐
│Mask ON  │Mask OFF │Description    │

├─────────┼─────────┼───────────────┤

├─────────┼─────────┼───────────────┤

│         │         │RTS            │
└─────────┴─────────┴───────────────┘

If DTR Control mode input handshaking, RTS Control mode input handshaking or toggling on transmit is set, then this request cannot try to change the state of the modem control signals, that are being used for input handshaking or toggling on transmit. If the request tries to modify a modem control signal that is being used for input handshaking or toggling on transmit, a general failure error results.

fbModemOff

Modem Control Signals OFF Mask.
