synchronization and specifies the communication rate, whereas the DTE accepts
clock synchronization and communicates at the specified rate.
The router normally works as a DTE. To identify whether the equipment connected to
the router is DTE or DCE, refer to the manual shipped with the equipment.
II. Speed and transmission segment of synchronous/asynchronous serial
interface
In different operating modes, the synchronous/asynchronous serial interface supports
different electric signal specifications and baud rates. In addition, the maximum signal
transmission segment depends not only on the specified baud rate but also on the
selected cable. The following table shows how the cable type, baud rate, and the
maximum signal transmission segment related to each other.

Note:
When a V.24 cable is used, the baud rate of the Router 4-Port Enhanced Serial FIC in synchronous
mode shall not exceed 64 Kbps.
