SIGNAL CHARACTERISTICS
Electrical Characteristics

3.1

The electrical characteristics of the interchange circuits are specified in ANSI/TIA/EIA-612. The meaning of circuit conditions "ON" and "OFF"for control and timing "MARK", and "SPACE"for data circuits, shall be as circuits, and "O", "l", defined in ANSVTINEIA-612.
3.2

Protective Ground (Frame Ground)

In DTEs and in DCEs, protective ground is a point which is electrically bonded to the equipment frame. It may also be connected to external grounds (e.g., through the third wire of the power cord). It should be noted that protective ground (frame ground) is not an interchange circuit in this standard. If bonding of the equipment frames of the DCE and the DTE is necessary, a separate conductor should be used that conforms to the appropriate national or local electrical codes. Attention is called to the applicable Underwriters' Laboratories regulation applying to wire size and color coding. 3.3 Shield

In order to facilitate the use of shielded interconnecting cable the interface connector specified in Section 4 provides a shielded shell for both the male and female connectors. At the DTE the shield is connected directly to the DTE Protective Ground. At the DCE the shield is connected through a network of two capacitors and a resistor as shown in Figure 1. It is recognized that for certain electromagnetic interf ere nce (EMi) suppression situations, additio na1 provisions may be necessary but are beyond the scope of this standard. 3.4 Signal Common

Proper operation of the interchange circuits requires the presence of a path between the DTE circuit common and the DCE circuit common. This path is obtained by means of interchange Circuits 102, Signal Commons. Both the DCE and the DTE normally should have their circuit common connected to f 100 ohms their protective ground (frame ground) through a resistance o (+20%) having a power dissipation rating of one-half watt. Figure 1 illustrates the signal common and grounding arrangement.

INTERFACE MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS

50-Position Interface Connector

The point of demarcation between the DTE and the DCE is located at a plugable connector signal interface point between the two equipments (see Figure 2). A 50-position connector is the connector specified for all interchange circuits. Figure 3 illustrates the Cable connector which has male (pin) contacts and a female shell (plug connector). Figure 4 illustrates the Equipment connector which has female (socket) contacts and a male shell (receptacle connector). Contact numbering is also illustrated in these figures. For all separable connections at the DTE, DCE, or intermediate equipment between the DTE and the DCE; the Equipment connector (Figure 4) shall be used on the equipment and the Cable connector (Figure 3) shall be used on the cable. The cable assemblies will always use the Cable connector (see Figures 2 and 3).

Definitions of Interchange Circuits

Circuits 102 Signal Commons

Direction: Not Applicable These conductors directly connect the DTE circuit ground (signal common) to the DCE circuit ground (signal common) to provide a conductive path between theDTE and DCE signal commons (see 2.4). 5.3.2 Circuit 103 Transmitted Data

Direction: To DCE Signals on this circuit are generated by the DTE and are transferred to the local DCE for transmission of data to remote DCE or for maintenance or control of the local DCE. The transitions between signal elements on this circuit nominally occur at the time of the transitions from OFF to ON condition on Circuit 114 (Transmitter Signal Element Timing (DCE Source)). The DTE shall hold this circuit in a steady condition for the duration of each signal element (.e., from an OFF to ON transition on Circuit 114 to the next OFF to ON transition on Circuit 114). In all systems, the DTE shall not transfer data to the DCE on this circuit unless an ON condition is present on both of the following circuits: Circuit 107 (DCE Ready) Circuit 108/2 (DTE Ready) The DTE shall hold Circuit 103 (Transmitted Data) in a marking condition when either Circuit 107 (DCE Ready) or 1082 (DTE Ready) is in the OFF condition.
5.3.3

Circuit 104 Received Data

Direction: From DCE Signals on this circuit are generated by the DCE in response to data signals received from the remote DCE, or for maintenance or control purposes. In all systems, the DCE shall not transfer data to the DTE on this circuit unless an ON condition is present of both of the following circuits: Circuit 107 (GCE Ready) Circuit 108/2 (DTE Ready)

Circuit 107 DCE Ready

Direction: From DCE Signals on this circuit are used to indicate whether the DCE is ready to operate. The ON condition indicates that the DCE is ready to exchange data with the DTE. 5.3.5 Circuit 108/2 DTE Ready

Direction: To DCE Signals on this circuit are used to indicate whether the DTE is ready to operate. The ON condition indicates that the DTE is ready to exchange data with the DCE.

5.3.7

Circuit 142 Test Mode

Direction: From DCE Signals on this circuit indicate whether the local DCE is in a test condition. The ON condition of Circuit 142 (Test Mode) indicates to the DTE that the DCE has been placed in a test condition. The ON condition of Circuit 142 (Test Mode) shall be in response to an ON condition of Circuits 143 (Loopback A) and/or 144 (Loopback B) and indicates that the condition has been established. The ON condition shall also be in response to either local or remote activation, by other means, of any DCE test condition. The OFF condition of Circuit 142 (Test Mode) indicates that the DCE is not in a test mode and is available for normal service.

ANSI/TINEIA-613-1993 5.3.8 Circuit 113 Transmitter Signal Element Timing (DTE Source)

Direction: To DCE Signals on this circuit are used to provide the DCE with codirectional timing information. Circuit 113 (Transmitter Signal Element Timing (DTE Source)) is the signal from Circuit 114 (Transmitter Signal Element Timing (DCE Source)) returned to the DCE by the DTE. The transition from ON to OFF shall nominally indicate the center of each signal element on Circuit 103 (Transmitted Data).
NOTE - The purpose of providing codirectional timing is to insure the proper phase relationship between Circuits 103 (Trans-iitted Data) and Circuit 114 (Transmitter Signal Element Timing (DCE Source)). This is necessary because the propagation delay of the interconnecting cable may exceed one unit interval.
5.3.9

Circuit 114 Transmitter Signal Element Timing (DCE Source)

Direction: From DCE Signals on this circuit are used to provide the DTE with signal element timing information. The DTE shall provide a data signal on Circuit 103 (Transmitted Data) in which the transitions between signal elements nominally occur at the time of the transitions from OFF to ON condition of the signal on Circuit 114 (Transmitter Signal Element Timing (DCE Source)). The withholding of timing information is permitted when specified by user applications. During intervals when timing information is not transferred across the interface, this circuit shall be held in the OFF condition. 5.3.10 Circuit 115 Receiver Signal Element Timing (DCESource)

Direction: From DCE Signals on this circuit are used to provide the DTE with received signal element ti ming information. The transition from ON to OFF condition shall nominally indicate the center of each signal element on Circuit 104 (Received Data). The withholding of timing information is permitted when specified by user applications. During intervals when timing information is not transferred across the interface, this circuit shall be held in the OFF condition.

This test condition provides a means whereby a DTE may check the transmission path up to the line interface of the remote DCE and the similar return transmission path. In the loop position the two pairs from the line are from the DCE functionality and are connected to each other. Remote Line Loopback (Loop C) implies that the remote DCE be signaled from the local DCE to actuate the Loop C test condition. Since such control is effected over the communication channel, appropriate measures must be taken to guard against false operation by data or noise.
