DCE and DTE Ports
You can connect different combinations of devices between DCE and DTE
ports.
If you intend to use a switch and PC combination, the switch can act as the DCE
while the PC can act as the DTE. Therefore, connect the switch to the DTE port
and the PC to the DCE port.
If you intend to use a PC and Touch Panel combination, the PC can act as the
DCE while the Touch Panel can act as the DTE. Therefore, connect the PC to
the DTE port and the Touch Panel to the DCE port.
