Signal

Description

 

1

 

DCD1*

Data Carrier Detect 1 – Indicates external serial communications device is

 

 

 

 

 

detecting a carrier signal (i.e., a communication channel is currently open). In

 

 

 

 

 

direct connect environments, this input will be driven by DTR1 as part of the

 

 

 

 

 

DTR/DSR handshake.

 

2

 

RXD1

Receive Data 1 – Serial port 1 receive data in

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3

 

TXD1

Transmit Data 1 – Serial port 1 transmit data out

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4

 

DTR1*

Data Terminal Ready 1 – Indicates Serial port 1 is powered, initialized, and ready.

 

 

 

 

 

Used as hardware handshake with DSR1 for overall readiness to communicate.

 

5

 

GND

Digital Ground

 

6

 

DSR1*

Data Set Ready 1 – Indicates external serial communications device is powered,

 

 

 

 

 

initialized, and ready. Used as hardware handshake with DTR1 for overall

 

 

 

 

 

readiness to communicate.

 

7

 

RTS1*

Request To Send 1 – Indicates Serial port 1 is ready to transmit data. Used as

 

 

 

 

 

hardware handshake with CTS1 for low level flow control.

 

8

 

CTS1*

Clear To Send 1 – Indicates external serial communications device is ready to

 

 

 

 

 

receive data. Used as hardware handshake with RTS1 for low level flow control.

 

9

 

RI1*

Ring Indicator 1 – Indicates external serial communications device is detecting a

 

 

 

 

 

ring condition. Used by software to initiate operations to answer and open the

 

 

 

 

 

communications channel.

Notes: The shaded area denotes power or ground. The signals marked with * = Negative true logic.
