DTE/DCE Device ConfigurationPort Configuration

The role of the access server in the communication is determined by the configuration of the port and the port device:

If the port access characteristic is set to local, the access server appears as a data terminal equipment (DTE) device to a dial-in modem connected as a port device, and as a data communication equipment (DCE) device to a personal computer or terminal.

If the port access characteristic is set to REMOTE, the access server appears as a DCE device to the port device, such as a computer system interface.

If the port access characteristic is set to remote, the access server operates as a DTE device to a dial-out modem connected as a port device.
