12 DEFINITION OF INTERFACE SIGNALS

CIRCUIT AB - SIGNAL GROUND

￿CONNECTOR NOTATION: DGND

￿DIRECTION: Not applicable

This conductor directly connects the DTE circuit ground to the DCE circuit ground.

CIRCUIT CC - DATA SET READY (DSR)

￿CONNECTOR NOTATION: +DSR,-DSR

￿DIRECTION: From DCE

This signal indicates the status of the local DCE by reporting to the DTE device that a communication channel has been established.

CIRCUIT BA - TRANSMITTED DATA (TxD)

￿CONNECTOR NOTATION: +TXD,-TXD

￿DIRECTION: To DCE

This signal transfers the data generated by the DTE through the communication channel to one or more remote DCE data stations.

CIRCUIT BB - RECEIVED DATA (RxD)

￿CONNECTOR NOTATION: +RXD,-RXD

￿DIRECTION: From DCE

This signal transfers the data generated by the DCE through the communications channel to one or more remote DTE data stations.

CIRCUIT DA - TRANSMIT ELEMENT TIMING (TxcLK- DTE Source)

￿CONNECTOR NOTATION: +TTCLK,-TTCLK

￿DIRECTION: To DCE

This signal, generated by the DTE, provides the DCE with element timing information pertaining to the data transmitted by the DTE. The DCE can use this information for its received data.
