In RS232 mode, this pin enters a high impedance state. A DTE that asserts RTS will see CTS asserted, although the device will not perform hardware flow
control.

Precision Time Protocol (PTP) Ports
The optional Precision Time Protocol (PTP) card for the RX1000P provides accurate time synchronization across
local and wide area networks. The PTP card is capable of using a variety of time synchronization methods
including Network Time Protocol (NTP), IRIG-B, and IEEE 1588, making it a flexible product for new and existing
installations.
