Signal Name and Description

 

 

 

01

 

Not used.

 

 

 

02

TxD

TRANSMIT DATA. Data to be transmitted; input to the modem

 

 

from the terminal.

 

 

 

03

RxD

RECEIVE DATA. Data which is demodulated from the receive

 

 

line; output from the modem to the terminal.

 

 

 

04

RTS

REQUEST TO SEND. Input to the modem from the terminal

 

 

when required to transmit a message. With RTS off, the modem

 

 

carrier remains off. When RTS is turned on, the modem

 

 

immediately turns on the carrier.

 

 

 

05

CTS

CLEAR TO SEND. Output from the modem to the terminal to

 

 

indicate that message transmission can begin. When a modem is

 

 

used, CTS follows the off-to-on transition of RTS after a time

 

 

delay.

 

 

 

06

DSR

DATA SET READY. Output from the modem to the terminal to

 

 

indicate that the modem is ready to transmit data.

 

 

 

07

SIG-GND

SIGNAL GROUND. Common return line for all signals at the

 

 

modem interface.

 

 

 

08

DCD

DATA CARRIER DETECT. Output from the modem to the

 

 

terminal to indicate that a valid carrier is being received.

 

 

 

09-14

 

Not used.

 

 

 

15

TxC

TRANSMIT CLOCK (DCE). Output from the modem to the

 

 

terminal; clocks data from the terminal to the modem.

 

 

 

16

 

Not used.

 

 

 

17

RxC

RECEIVE CLOCK. Output from the modem to the terminal;

 

 

clocks data from the modem to the terminal.

 

 

 

18, 19

 

Not used.

 

 

 

20

DTR

DATA TERMINAL READY. Input to the modem from the

 

 

terminal; indicates that the terminal is ready to send or receive

 

 

data.

 

 

 

21

 

Not used.
