Data Channel

A communication path between two points used to transmit digital signals.

Data Communications Equipment (DCE)

Refers to a specific RS-232C interface connector configuration. DCE devices are designed to interface directly (pin-for-pin) to Data Terminal Equipment (DTE). The transmit and receive pins are reversed from that of a DTE interface. A modem is an example of a DCE device.

Data End Point

 

 

 

 

Two general groups;

those having a DTE type

interface, which encompasses almost

all of the data terminal devices, and the group of DCE interface devices which are

primarily

modems.

However, it must be noted

that

within each category, control

interfaces

may also

vary. R e f e r t o A n a l o g
