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.

The 1-Port Serial Mini-Physical Interface Module (Mini-PIM) provides the following key
features:
Autoselection of operational modes based on DTE or DCE cables
Local and remote loopback diagnostics
Configurable clock rate for the transmit (TX) clock and receive (RX) clock
Complete configuration and management by using the CLI and the J-Web interface
