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.

DTR

Data Terminal Ready Input to modem from DTE to

 

 

 

control answering and disconnection of modem.
