DTE and DCE
In the RS-232C interface specifications, the DTEs (Data Terminal Endpoint) shall be generally
connected with each other by a cross-mode cable; the DTE and DCE (Data Circuit Endpoint) shall be
connected with each other by a straight-mode cable.
The DTE is one piece of equipment connected at both ends of a communications line as a sender or
receiver of data (such as CU-401 on which the BHT is put and a host PC).
The DCE is one piece of equipment connected in-between the DTE and the communications line and
terminates communications lines. It converts their signals without any change in contents (such as
modem or TA).
