| DB9 |
|
|
| 16 | 8 | CTS2* | Clear To Send 2 – Indicates external serial communications device is |
|

|
|
|
| and ready. Used as hardware handshake with DSR2 for overall readiness |
|
|
|
| to communicate. |

Notes: The shaded area denotes power or ground. Signals are listed in the following order RS232 and RS485/RS422.
Table
Pin # | Pin # | Signal | Description |
| DB9 |
|
|
1 | 1 | DCD3* | Data Carrier Detect 3 – Indicates external serial communications device |
| (COM3) |
| is detecting a carrier signal (i.e., a communication channel is currently |
|
|
| open). In direct connect environments, this input will be driven by DTR3 |
|
|
| as part of the DTR/DSR handshake. |
2 | 6 | DSR3* | Data Set Ready 3 – Indicates external serial communications device is |
|
|
| powered, initialized, and ready. Used as hardware handshake with DTR3 |
|
|
| for overall readiness to communicate. |
3 | 2 | RXD3 | Receive Data 3 – Serial port 3 receive data in |
|
| RX3- | RX3- – If in RS485 or RS422 mode, this pin is Receive Data 3 |
|
|
|
|
4 | 7 | RTS3* | Request To Send 3 – Indicates Serial port 3 is ready to transmit data. |
|
|
| Used as hardware handshake with CTS3 for low level flow control. |
|
| TX3+ | TX3+ – If in RS485 or RS422 mode, this pin is Transmit Data 3 +. |
|
|
|
|
5 | 3 | TXD3 | Transmit Data 3 – Serial port 3 transmit data out |
|
| TX3- | TX3- – If in RS485 or RS422 mode, this pin is Transmit Data 3 |
|
|
|
|
6 | 8 | CTS3* | Clear To Send 3 – Indicates external serial communications device is |
|
|
| ready to receive data. Used as hardware handshake with RTS3 for low |
|
|
| level flow control. |
|
| RX3+ | RX3+ – If in RS485 or RS422 mode, this pin is Receive Data 3 |
|
|
|
|
7 | 4 | DTR3* | Data Terminal Ready 3 – Indicates Serial port 3 is powered, initialized, |
|
|
| and ready. Used as hardware handshake with DSR3 for overall readiness |
|
|
| to communicate. |
8 | 9 | RI3* | Ring Indicator 3 – Indicates external serial communications device is |
|
|
| detecting a ring condition. Used by software to initiate operations to |
|
|
| answer and open the communications channel. |
9 | 5 | GND | Ground |
