1

DCD0*

J7-1

Data Carrier Detect 0 – Indicates external serial device is detecting a

 

(Serial 1/

 

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

 

 

direct connect environments, this is be driven by DTR0 as part of the

 

COM1)

 

 

 

DTR0/DSR0 handshake.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2

DSR0*

J7-6

Data Set Ready 0 – Indicates external serial device is powered,

 

 

 

initialized, and ready. Used as hardware handshake with DTR0 for

 

 

 

overall readiness to communicate.

3

RXD0

J7-2

Receive Data 0 Input – This receive data line is typically held at a logic

 

 

 

1 (mark) when no data is being transmitted, and is held “Off” for a brief

 

 

 

interval after an “On” to “Off” transition on the RTS0 line to allow the

 

 

 

transmission to complete.

 

RX0-

 

Receive Data 0 Negative – If in RS-485 mode, this pin is RX0-.

 

 

 

 

4

RTS0*

J7-7

Request To Send 0 – Indicates serial port is ready to transmit data. Used

 

 

 

as hardware handshake with CTS0 for low level flow control.

 

TX0+

 

Transmit Data 1 Positive – If in RS-485 mode, this pin is TX0+.

 

 

 

 

5

TXD0

J7-3

Transmit Data 0 Output – This line is typically held to a logic 1 when

 

 

 

no data is being sent. A logic 0 (On) must be present on RTS0, CTS0,

 

 

 

DSR0, and DTR0 before data can be transmitted on this line.

 

TX0-

 

Transmit Data 0 Negative – If in RS-485 mode, this pin is TX0-.

 

 

 

 

6

CTS0*

J7-8

Clear To Send 0 – Indicates external serial device is ready to receive data.

 

 

 

Used as hardware handshake with RTS0 for low level flow control.

 

RX0+

 

Receive Data 0 Positive – If in RS-485 mode, this pin is RX0+.

 

 

 

 

7

DTR0*

J7-4

Data Terminal Ready 0 – Indicates port is powered, initialized, and

 

 

 

ready. Used as hardware handshake with DSR0 for overall readiness.

8

RI0*

J7-9

Ring Indicator 0 – Indicates external serial device is detecting a ring

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

the communications channel.

9

GND

J7-5

Digital Ground

Power Supply On –

11

DCD1*

J7-10

Data Carrier Detect 1 – Indicates external serial device is detecting a

 

(Serial 2/

 

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

 

 

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

 

COM2)

 

 

 

DTR1/DSR1 handshake.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

12

DSR1*

J7-15

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

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

overall readiness.

13

RXD1

J7-11

Receive Data 1 Input – This line is typically held at a logic 1 (mark)

 

 

 

when no data is being transmitted, and is held “Off” for a brief interval

 

 

 

after an “On” to “Off” transition on the RTS1 line to allow the

 

 

 

transmission to complete.
