102 Signal Ground
Digital ground, return line.
103 Send Data
Data transmitted from DTE (PC) to DCE (Nera F77).
104 Receive data
Data Received from DCE (Nera F77) to DTE (PC).
105 Request To Send
OFF requests DCE (Nera F77) to suspend transmission to DTE (PC).
ON requests DCE (Nera F77) to resume transmission to DTE (PC).
106 Clear to send
OFF indicates that DCE (Nera F77) cannot accept data from DTE (PC).
ON indicates that DCE (Nera F77) is prepared to accept data from DTE (PC).
107 Data Set Ready
Signal from Nera F77 that when ON indicates that a data call setup is in progress.
108 Data Terminal Ready
Signal from PC. This signal is used in the Hotline mode and indicate when going from OFF to ON that
the PC wants to make a data call. The PC clears the call by setting the signal from ON to OFF.
109 Receive Signal Indicator
Signal from Nera F77 that when ON indicates that connection is established and received data will be
delivered on circuit 104, Received Data.
125 Ring Indicator
Signal from Nera F77. This signal is used in the Auto answer OFF mode and when ON indicates that
an incoming call is in progress. The signal will go OFF when the call is answered by the PC by turning
circuit 108 Data Terminal Ready ON.
RS-232 connector pin assignments
