RS-232 Pin Descriptions
Label | Pin | I/O type | Signal name/description |
CGND | 1 | GND | CGND is tied common to GND on the modem’s PCB. |
TD | 2 |
| Transmitted Data The DTE uses the TD line to send |
|
|
| data to the modem for transmission over the telephone |
|
|
| line or to transmit commands to the modem. |
RD | 3 |
| Received Data The modem uses the RD line to send |
|
|
| data received from the telephone line to the DTE and to |
|
|
| send modem responses to the DTE. |
RTS | 4 |
| Request to Send The RTS signal is used for hardware |
|
|
| flow control. |
CTS | 5 |
| Clear To Send CTS is controlled by the modem to indi- |
|
|
| cate whether or not the modem is ready to transmit data. |
|
|
| CTS high indicates to the DTE that signals presented on |
|
|
| TD will be transmitted to the telephone line. CTS low in- |
|
|
| dicates to the DTE that it should not transfer data across |
|
|
| the interface on TD. |
DSR | 6 | Out | Data Set Ready DSR indicates modem status to the |
|
|
| DTE. DSR low indicates that the DTE is to disregard all |
|
|
| signals appearing on the interchange circuits except |
|
|
| Ring Indicator (RI). It reflects the status of the local data |
|
|
| set, and does not indicate an actual link with any remote |
|
|
| data equipment. |
GND | 7 | GND | Ground. |
CFLO | 8 | CD | Carrier Detect The modem uses the CD line to signal |
|
|
| to the DTE that a carrier has been detected. |
+12V | 9 |
| A positive voltage output from the modem used for tests |
|
|
| or for strapping signals high if needed. |
