Not connected

None.

20

DTR

Data Terminal Ready

Used to control switching of the

 

 

 

DCE to the communication channel.

21

 

Not connected

None.

22

TXC

Terminal Clock

Generated by the DTE to provide

 

 

 

timing information to the DCE.

 

 

 

Used only in synchronous mode

 

 

 

and only when the driver requests a

 

 

 

locally generated clock. Otherwise,

 

 

 

TXC echoes the modem-generated

 

 

 

clock. The falling edge of the clock

 

 

 

corresponds to the center of the

 

 

 

data bit transmitted on TXD.

Not connected

None.

 

 

 

 

B.2 Twisted-Pair Ethernet Connector

The twisted pair Ethernet (TPE) connector is a RJ-45 type connector located on the motherboard back panel. FIGURE B-3illustrates the TPE connector configuration and

lists the connector pin assignments.
