Signal Name/Description

 

CGND

1

GND

CGND is tied common to GND on the modem’s PCB.

 

TD

2

 

Transmitted Data The DTE uses the TD line to send data to the

 

 

 

 

modem for transmission over the telephone line or to transmit

 

 

 

 

commands to the modem.

 

RD

3

 

Received Data The modem uses the RD line to send data received

 

 

 

from the telephone line to the DTE and to send modem responses to

 

 

 

the DTE.

 

RTS

4

 

Request to Send The RTS signal is used for hardware flow control.

CTS

5

 

Clear To Send CTS is controlled by the modem to indicate whether or

 

 

 

not the modem is ready to transmit data. CTS high indicates to the DTE that

 

 

 

signals presented on TD will be transmitted to the telephone line.

 

 

 

 

CTS low indicates to the DTE that it should not transfer data across

 

 

 

the interface on TD.

 

DSR

6

Out

Data Set Ready DSR indicates modem status to the DTE. DSR low

 

 

 

indicates that the DTE is to disregard all signals appearing on the

 

 

 

 

interchange circuits except Ring Indicator (RI). It reflects the status of

 

 

 

the local data set, and does not indicate an actual link with any

 

 

 

 

remote data equipment.

 

GND

7

GND

Ground.

 

CFLO

8

CD

Carrier Detect The modem uses the CD line to signal to the DTE

 

 

 

 

that a carrier has been detected.

 

+12V

9

 

A positive voltage output from the modem used for tests or for

 

 

 

 

strapping signals high if needed.

NC

 

TCLK

15

TC

Transmit Clock Output from modem, used in synchronous mode.

 

 

16

 

NC

 

RCLK

17

RC

Receive Clock Output from modem, used in synchronous mode.

 

V54-2

18

AL

Analog Loop Input to modem to enable analog loop test.

 

 

19

 

NC

 

DTR

20

DTR

Data Terminal Ready Input to modem from DTE to control

 

 

 

 

answering and disconnection of modem.

 

RDL

21

RDL

Remote Digital Loop Input to modem to enable RDL test.

 

RI

22

 

Ring Indicator RI output high indicates the presence of a ring signal

 

 

 

on the telephone line.

 

 

23

 

NC

 

XCLK

24

XCLK

External Clock Input to modem used in special synchronous

 

 

 

 

applications.

 

TM
