  • Page 61: Mrv 8-Wire Cabling

    When a DTE device is connected to an LX-4000 Series serial port, the device's DTR output is connected to pin 7 of the LX-4000 Series. In this case, the signal at pin 7 is referred to as DSR. (This cabling scheme also provides DECconnect compatibility, since DECconnect does not support the DCD signal.)
