Signal Name

Function

 

 

 

1

Shield Ground

Enables tandem sections of shielded cable to retain continuity

 

 

through the connector.

19

Signal Ground (SG)

Directly connects the DTE circuit ground to the DCE circuit

 

 

ground, providing a path for DTE and DCE signal commons.

4/22

Transmit Data (TxD)

Used by the DTE to pass binary data to the DCE for

 

 

transmission over the communications channel.

6/24

Receive Data (RxD)

Used by the DCE to pass binary data received from the

 

 

communications channel to the DTE.

5/23

Transmit Clock in (TxCI)

Enables the DCE to transmit signal element timing to the DTE.

 

 

This enables the DTE Transmit Data signal on circuit TxD to be

 

 

in synchronization with On/Off transitions on this lead.

8/26

Receive Clock (RxC)

Transitions on this lead enables the DTE to time data received

 

 

over circuit RxD.

17/35

Transmit Clock (TxC)

Enables the DTE to provide transmit timing information to the

 

 

DCE so that the DTE can synchronize with data arriving over

 

 

the TxD lead.

7/25

Request to Send (RTS)

Used by the DTE to advise the DCE it is ready to transmit data.

9/27

Clear to Send (CTS)

Used by the DCE to advise the DTE that the DCE is ready to

 

 

send data over the communications channel.

11/29

Data Set Ready (DSR)

Used to advise the DTE of the Ready status on the DCE. In

 

 

most cases, this signal simply implies the unit is powered on.

12/30

Data Terminal Ready (DTR)

Used by the DTE to advise the DCE it is ready to transmit or

 

 

receive.

13/31

Data Carrier Detect (DCD)

The DCE uses this lead to advise the DTE that an incoming

 

 

signal on the communications channel is present. When first

initialized this signal is an indication to the DTE to expect data momentarily.
