Caution:
Baud rate cannot exceed 64 kbps if V.24 cable is used and the interface operates in synchronous mode.
II. Introduction to DTE and DCE
Synchronous serial interfaces support both DTE and DCE operating modes. Given
two directly connected devices, if one operates in the DTE mode, the other will operate
in the DCE mode. The DCE device provides the synchronous clock and specifies the
communicating rate. The DTE device receives the synchronous clock and
communicates at the specified rate. Generally, the Router is used as a DTE device. To
make sure that the device is a DTE or DCE, refer to the manual shipped with this
device. In addition, the following table may also help you to identify the type of the
device.
