DIRECTION: To DCE
This signal controls the switching of the DCE to the communication channel. The DTE
will generate this signal to prepare the DCE to be connected to or removed from the
communication channel.
CIRCUIT CF
- Received Line Signal Detect (CARRIER DETECT)
CONNECTOR NOTATION: +CD, -CD
DIRECTION: From DCE
This signal indicates to the DTE whether the DCE is conditioned to receive data from the
communication channel, but does not indicate the relative quality of the data signals
being received.
CIRCUIT DA
- TRANSMIT Signal ELEMENT TIMING (DTE Source)
CONNECTOR NOTATION: +TTCLK, -TTCLK
DIRECTION: To DCE
This signal, generated by the DTE, provides the DCE with element timing information
pertaining to the data transmitted by the DTE. The DCE can use this information for its
received data.
CIRCUIT DB
- TRANSMIT Signal ELEMENT TIMING (DCE Source)
CONNECTOR NOTATION: +RTCLK, -RTCLK
DIRECTION: From DCE
This signal, generated by the DCE, provides the DTE with element timing information
pertaining to the data transmitted to the DCE. The DCE can use this information for its
received data.
CIRCUIT DD
- RECEIVER Signal ELEMENT TIMING (DCE Source)
CONNECTOR NOTATION: +RRCLK, -RRCLK
DIRECTION: From DCE
This signal, generated by the DCE, provides the DTE with element timing information
pertaining to the data transmitted by the DCE. The DTE can use this information for its
received data.
