configured as a DTE or DCE device and whether it has a male or female connector before making
up this cable.

l

In RS-232 mode, the main use of the CTS/RD– and RTS/TD+ lines is as RTS/CTS hardware
handshaking lines. CTS/RD– should be connected to the remote equipment RTS, and
RTS/TD+ to its CTS line.

l

The CTS/RD– (CTS) and RTS/TD+ (RTS) lines can also be used to trigger external circuitry
when not being used in handshaking mode. Note that when using CTS/RD– and RT/TD+
lines as input and output, the voltage levels are ±5V, NOT 0 and 5V.

l

CTS/RD– and RTS/TD+ cannot be used as separate input and output when in RS-485
mode.
