Description

This menu item configures the interface mode as either DTE or DCE. DTE is used for a communications device (typically a terminal or computer) that is the source or destination of signals on a network. DCE is used for a device (typically the modem) that establishes, maintains, and terminates a session on a network. It may also convert signals for transmission.
