Pin  I/O Type 
Signal Name/Description
 
CGND 
GND 
CGND is tied common to GND on the modem’s PCB. 
TD 2 
 
Transmitted Data 
 The DTE uses the TD line to send data to the 
modem for transmission over the telephone line or to transmit 
commands to the modem.  
RD 3 
 
Received Data
  The modem uses the RD line to send data received 
from the telephone line to the DTE and to send modem responses to 
the DTE.  
RTS 4  
Request to Send
  The RTS signal is used for hardware flow control. 
CTS 5  
Clear To Send
  CTS is controlled by the modem to indicate whether or 
not the modem is ready to transmit data. CTS high indicates to the DTE that 
signals presented on TD will be transmitted to the telephone line. 
CTS low indicates to the DTE that it should not transfer data across 
the interface on TD.  
DSR 6 
Out  Data Set Ready  DSR indicates modem status to the DTE. DSR low 
indicates that the DTE is to disregard all signals appearing on the 
interchange circuits except Ring Indicator (RI). It reflects the status of 
the local data set, and does not indicate an actual link with any 
remote data equipment. 
GND 7 GND  Ground. 
 
CFLO 8  CD 
Carrier Detect
  The modem uses the CD line to signal to the DTE 
that a carrier has been detected.   
+12V 
 
A positive voltage output from the modem used for tests or for 
strapping signals high if needed.

RCLK 17 RC 
Receive Clock
  Output from modem, used in synchronous mode. 
V54-2 18 AL 
Analog Loop
  Input to modem to enable analog loop test. 
 19 
  NC 
DTR 20 
DTR  Data Terminal Ready  Input to modem from DTE to control 
answering and disconnection of modem. 
RDL 21 
RDL  Remote Digital Loop  Input to modem to enable RDL test. 
RI 22 
 
Ring Indicator
  RI output high indicates the presence of a ring signal 
on the telephone line. 
 23 
  NC 
XCLK 24 XCLK  External Clock  Input to modem used in special synchronous 
applications. 
TM 25 
TM  Test Mode  Output from modem to indicate modem is in one of the 
test modes.
