1-Port Serial Mini-Physical Interface Module Overview
Serial WAN links are bidirectional links and require very few control signals. In a basic serial setup, the
data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) is responsible for establishing, maintaining, and terminating a
connection. A modem is a typical DCE device. A serial cable connects the DCE to a telephony network
where, ultimately, a link is established with data terminal equipment (DTE). DTE is typically where a link
terminates.
