Question

To connect a modem with a DL06, do I need to jump RTS and CTS on the PLC side?

Answer

It is case by case. If your modem does not have RTS/CTS control, you need to jumper RTS and CTS on the PLC side. If your modem has RTS/CTS control, you may connect each signal to the modem. Usually, you would jumper RTS/CTS on the PLC side and the modem side and not be concerned about handshaking.
