Set PROTOCOL = MOD for Modbus® RTU protocol (not available with SEL­501­1). 
Refer to Appendix D:  Distributed Port Switch Protocol for details on the LMD protocol.
Refer to Appendix F:  SY/MAX Protocol for details on the SY/MAX protocol.

Set AUTO = Y to allow automatic messages at the serial port.

Set RTS_CTS = Y to enable hardware handshaking.  With RTS_CTS = Y, the relay will not send 
characters until the CTS input is asserted.  Also, if the relay is unable to receive characters, it 
deasserts the RTS line.  Setting RTS_CTS is not applicable for EIA­485 serial port option or
