The DTE Terminal
The DTE Terminal is responsible for sourcing/gener-
ating all of the following signals.
TXD - Transmit Data
TXCE (or SCTE) - Transmit Clock Echo
DTR - Data Terminal Ready
RTS - Request to Send
LL - Local Loop-back Indicator
RL - Remote Loop-back Indicator
Further, the DTE Terminal is responsible for receiv-
ing/terminating all of the following signals.
RXD - Receive Data
TXC - Transmit Clock
RXC - Receive Clock
DSR - Data Set Ready
DCD - Data Carrier Detect
CTS - Clear-to-Send
RI (Ring Indicator)
TM (Test Mode Indicator).
Because of this, whenever the XRT4500 is configured
to operate in the “DTE” Mode, then the following con-
figuration conditions are “TRUE”.
Two “high-speed” Transmitters are enabled, and
Three “high-speed” Receivers are enabled.
Four “l(fā)ow-speed” Transmitters are enabled, and
Four “l(fā)ow-speed” Receivers are enabled.
Other Comments about DCE and DTE Equipment
Whenever DCE and DTE Equipment are interfaced to
each other, the DCE Equipment is typically the
source of all timing signals. The DTE Equipment will
typically function as a “Clock Slave”.
1.3.3
The LP - Loop-Back Enable/Disable
Select Pin
As mentioned earlier, the XRT4500 can be configured
to operate in the loop-back mode. Setting the “LP” in-
put pin “high” disables the loop-back mode (within the
XRT4500). Conversely, setting this input “l(fā)ow” config-
ures the XRT4500 to operate in the “TXD/RXD” loop-
back mode.
A detailed description of the “TXD/RXD” loop-back
Mode is presented below.
Behavior of DTE/DCE Mode Devices, when the
Loop-Back Mode is Disabled
Figure 17 presents an illustration of a DTE and DCE
Terminal interfaced to each other when no XRT4500
Loop-Back Mode has een configured.
