Note:
The shaded area denotes power or ground. Signals are listed in the table with RS232 first, followed
by RS485/RS422.

CTS1*
RX1+
Clear to Send 1 – Indicates external serial communications device is
ready to receive data. Used as hardware handshake with RTS1 for low
level flow control.
RX1+ – If in RS485 or RS422 mode, this pin is Receive Data 1 -.
7
4
DTR1*
Data Terminal Ready 1 – Indicates this Serial port is powered, initialized,
and ready. Used as hardware handshake with DSR1 for overall readiness
to communicate.

RI1*
Ring Indicator 1 – Indicates external serial communications device is
detecting a ring condition. Used by software to initiate operations to
answer and open the communications channel.

*
Data Carrier Detect 2 – Indicates external serial communications device
is detecting a carrier signal (i.e., a communication channel is currently
open). In direct connect environments, this input will be driven by DTR2
as part of the DTR/DSR handshake.

DSR2*
Data Set Ready 2 – Indicates external serial communications device is
powered, initialized, and ready. Used as hardware handshake with DTR2
for overall readiness to communicate.

RTS2*
TX2+
Request To Send 2 – Indicates Serial port 2 is ready to transmit data.
Used as hardware handshake with CTS2 for low level flow control.
TX2+ – If in RS485 or RS422 mode, this pin is Transmit Data 2 +.
