10. DTE/DCE CONFIGURATION
As indicated earlier in this manual, the MPA-100 can be configured as either a Data
Terminal Equipment (DTE) or a Data Communications Equipment (DCE) device. The
differences between these configurations include signal definitions, connector pin out, and
clocking options. In order to simplify matters, an in depth description of each configuration is
provided in the next two sections.
NOTE:
Because the connector used for the DCE configuration is the same
one as is used for the DTE configuration the MPA-100 does not have a
true DCE implementation. The DCE configuration is provided to allow
the head-to-head connection of two MPA-100 boards (one configured
DTE and the other DCE).
