For example cisco allows CTS/RTS.
However, huawei uses Xon/Xoff.
Is there any way to check what type of flow control is used besides trial and error?

    Not sure how you would even come up with this question. Cisco looks at it like this

    "Unlike other async lines, the console port does not support hardware (Clear to Send/Ready to Send (CTS/RTS) flow control. Cisco recommends that you use no flow control. If data overruns are encountered, however, you can enable software (XON/XOFF) flow control"
    Modularity and Design Simplicity:

    Think of the 2:00 a.m. test—if you were awakened in the
    middle of the night because of a network problem and had to figure out the
    traffic flows in your network while you were half asleep, could you do it?
