Description
1
Not
Connected
None.
2
TXD
Transmit
Data
Used by the data terminal equipment (DTE)
to transmit data to the data circuit
equipment (DCE). Except when control data
is being sent, RTS, CTS, and DCD must be
ON for this line to be active.
3
RXD
Recive Data
Used by the DCE in response to received
data from the DTE.
4
RTS
Ready to
Send
Used by the DTE to condition the DCE for
data transmission. The transition to ON
directs the DCE to go into transmit mode.
The transition to OFF directs the DCE to
complete the transmission.
5
CTS
Clear to send
Used by the DCE to indicate if it is ready to
receive data from the DTE. When CTS, DSR,
RTS and DTR are ON, the DCE is ready to
transmit data received from the DTE across
the communications channel. When only CTS
is ON, the DCE is ready to accept dialing or
control signals only. When CTS is OFF, the
DTE should not transfer data across TXD.
