2.5 RS232 Serial Port
The modem supports a standard RS232 serial interface (EIA/TIA 574)
via its 9 pin Sub-D connector, shown below. In line with serial
communication terminology the GM29 serial modem should be
considered as the data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) and the
external application or computer as the data terminating equipment
(DTE).
The electrical characteristics of the serial port signals are shown below:
