Name Description Function
AA Shield Ground Also known as protective ground. This is the chassis ground connection between DTE and DCE.
AB Signal Ground The reference ground between a DTE and a DCE. Has the value 0 Vdc.
BA Transmitted Data Data send by the DTE.
BB Received Data Data received by the DTE.
CA Request To Send Originated by the DTE to initiate transmission by the DCE.
CB Clear To Send Send by the DCE as a reply on the RTS after a delay in ms, which gives the DCEs enough time to energize their circuits and synchronize on basic modulation patterns.
CC DCE Ready Known as DSR. Originated by the DCE indicating that it is basically operating (power on, and in functional mode).
CD DTE Ready Known as DTR. Originated by the DTE to instruct the DCE to setup a connection. Actually it means that the DTE is up and running and ready to communicate.
CE Ring Indicator A signal from the DCE to the DTE that there is an incomming call (telephone is ringing). Only used on switched circuit connections.
CF Received Line Signal Detector Known as DCD. A signal send from DCE to its DTE to indicate that it has received a basic carrier signal from a (remote) DCE.
CH/CI Data Signal Rate Select
(DTE/DCE Source>
A control signal that can be used to change the transmission speed.
DA Transmit Signal Element Timing
(DTE Source)
Timing signals used by the DTE for transmission, where the clock is originated by the DTE and the DCE is the slave.
DB Transmitter Signal Element Timing
(DCE Source)
Timing signals used by the DTE for transmission.
DD Receiver Signal Element Timing
(DCE Source)
Timing signals used by the DTE when receiving data.
IS terminal In Service Signal that indicates that the DTE is available for operation
NS New Signal A control signal from the DTE to the DCE. It instructs the DCE to rapidly get ready to receive a new analog signal. It helps master-station modems rapidly synchronize on a new modem at a tributary station in multipoint circuits
RC Receive Common A signal return for receiver circuit reference
LL Local Loopback / Quality Detector A control signal from the DTE to the DCE that causes the analog transmision output to be connected to the analog receiver input.
RL Remote Loopback Signal from the DTE to the DCE. The local DCE then signals the remote DCE to loopback the analog signal and thus causing a line loopback.
SB Standby Indicator Signal from the DCE to indicate if it is uses the normal communication or standby channel
SC Send Common A return signal for transmitter circuit reference
SF Select Frequency A signal from the DTE to tell the DCE which of the two analog carrier frequencies should be used.
SS Select Standby A signal from DTE to DCE, to switch between normal communication or standby channel.
TM Test Mode A signal from the DCE to the DTE that it is in test-mode and can't send any data.
