1

 

Not used.

 

 

 

2

TxD

Transmit Data. Data to be transmitted; input to modem from terminal.

 

 

 

3

RxD

Receive Data. Data which is demodulated from the receive line; output from

 

 

modem to terminal.

 

 

 

4

RTS

Request To Send. Input to modem from 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.

 

 

 

5

CTS

Clear To Send. Output from modem to 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.

 

 

 

6

DSR

Data Set Ready. Output from modem to terminal to indicate that the modem

 

 

is ready to send or receive data.

 

 

 

7

SG

Signal Ground. Common return line for all signals at the modem interface.

 

 

 

8

DCD

Data Carrier Detect. Output from modem to terminal to indicate that a valid

 

 

carrier is being received.

 

 

 

9-14

 

Not used.

 

 

 

15

TxC

Transmit Clock (DCE). Output from modem to terminal; clocks data from

 

 

the terminal to the modem.

 

 

 

16

 

Not used.

 

 

 

17

RxC

Receive Clock. Output from terminal to modem; clocks input data from the

 

 

terminal to the modem.

 

 

 

18, 19

 

Not used.

 

 

 

20

DTR

Data Terminal Ready. Input to modem from terminal; indicates that the

 

 

terminal is ready to send or receive data.

 

 

 

21

 

Not used.
