  1. Clear to Send

Clear To Send can be explained as a flow control signal in the RS-232 standard. Its primary purpose is to indicate a proper data transmission by a line or a device. The message is sent as a response to an RTS (Request To Send) flow control signal. The sending device sends the RTS, and the receiving device sends the CTS signal. Once the receiver is ready to receive the signal it sends the signal and the sender transfers the data. CTS and RTS help the receiver and the sender to help in the proper transmission of data.
