DTE INTERFACE PIN

DESCRIPTIONS

Pin functions assume that the UTA is in data mode.

Note: There are a number of interpretations of these signals that the UTA can make, depending on its mode and configuration. The descriptions reflect the most common interpretations.

Transmit Data

This pin carries data transmitted from the DTE to the UTA.

Receive Data

This pin carries data from the UTA to the DTE. If no data is present, this line will be held in the mark state.

Request to Send

In asynchronous mode, this input may be used for flow control of the UTA or ignored. In synchronous modes, the pin can be used by the DTE to indicate that it is ready to send.

Clear to Send

Generally, used within a call to indicate when it is permissible for the DTE to transmit.

Data Set Ready

Indicates that the UTA has detected the remote UTA.

Signal Ground

This pin is the common return lead for all input and output signals on the DTE interface. It is normally connected to the chassis ground but can be changed via the DIP switch.

Data Carrier Detect

This output, which is also called carrier detect (CD), is generally used within a call to indicate a connection exists to the remote UTA.

Transmit Clock

In synchronous modes this output supplies the DTE with timing information for it to use when transmitting data to the UTA. This output is not used in asynchronous mode.
