Ring Indicator (RI) — Pin 22

(From modem)

This signal remains on for the duration of the ringing signal. When a ring signal is received by the modem, the modem automatically answers after the first ring. The modem can answer after a specified number of rings which can be programmed in command mode, but if none is specified, the modem answers after the first ring.

External Transmit Clock (XTC) — Pin 24

(To modem)

Supplies the same function as the Transmit Clock signal on pin 15.

Terminal Busy (OOS) — Pin 25 (To modem)

The Terminal Busy/Out of Service (OOS) circuit is not defined in the RS-232C standard, but is used by Multi-Tech Systems and most manufacturers to make the phone lines busy to incoming phone calls. Pin 25 is not typically connected to the RS-232C interface when shipped from the factory; it can be ordered connected as an option. If pin 25 is connected and is brought high, the modem is placed off hook, and is busy to incoming calls.
