Signal Name

Description

 

 

 

 

5

CTS

Clear To Send

Used by the DCE to indicate if it is

 

 

 

ready to receive data from the DTE.

 

 

 

When CTS, DSR, RTS and DTR are

 

 

 

ON, the DCE is ready to transmit

 

 

 

data received from the DTE across

 

 

 

the communications channel. When

 

 

 

only CTS is ON, the DCE is ready to

 

 

 

accept dialing or control signals

 

 

 

only. When CTS is OFF, the DTE

 

 

 

should not transfer data across

 

 

 

TXD.

6

DSR

Data Set Ready

Used by the DCE to indicate if it is

 

 

 

ready to operate. When DSR is ON,

 

 

 

the DCE is connected to the line and

 

 

 

ready to exchange further control

 

 

 

signals to start data transfer.

7

Gnd

Signal Ground

 

8

DCD

Data Carrier Detect

Used by the DCE to indicate it is

 

 

 

receiving a suitable signal from the

 

 

 

communications channel.

9

 

Not connected

None.

10

 

Not connected

None.

11

 

Not connected

None.

12

 

Not connected

None.

13

 

Not connected

None.

14

 

Not connected

None.

15

TRXC

Transmit Clock

Used by the DCE to provide timing

 

 

 

information to the DTE. The DTE

 

 

 

provides data on TXD in which the

 

 

 

transition of the bit corresponds to

 

 

 

the rising edge of the clock.

16

 

Not connected

None.

17

RTXC

Receive Clock

Used by the DCE to provide timing

 

 

 

information to the DTE. The falling

edge of the clock corresponds to the center of the data bit received on RXD.
