RS-449 (EIA-449) Serial 37 pin Connector Pinout

Connector pinout for: RS-449 (EIA-449) Serial 37 pin

37 pin D-SUB male connector at the DTE (Computer).

37 pin D-SUB female connector at the DCE (Modem). The RS449 interface is a generic connector specification. It's not an actual interface. The connector pinning was originally designed to support RS422 for balanced signals, and RS423 for the unbalanced signals. And should have been the successor of RS232. RS449 is a high speed digital interface - unlike RS232 which uses signals with reference to ground, RS449 V.11 receivers look for the difference between two wires. By twisting the two wires and making a "twisted pair" any stray noise picked up on one wire will be picked up on the other, because both wires pick up the same noise the RS449 differential interface just shifts in voltage level with reference to ground, but does not change with respect to each other. The receivers are only looking at the difference in voltage level of each wire to the other not to ground. The differential signals for RS449 are labeled as either "A and B" or "+ and -". In the case of RS449 wire A or + does not connect to B or -. Wire A always connects to A and B connects to B or + to + and - to -. If you do cross the wires you just inverted the data or clock in your interface and they don"t work - be sure to check the polarities. The EIA RS449 standard specifies the functional and mechanical characteristics of the RS449 interconnection between the data terminal equipment (DTE) in the data communications equipment (DCE) complying to EIA electrical interface standards RS 422 and RS 423.

Description Shield Ground Signal Ground Received Data

Function Also known as protective ground. This is the chassis ground connection between DTE and DCE. The reference ground between a DTE and a DCE. Has the value 0 Vdc. Data received by the DTE. Send by the DCE as a reply on the RTS after a delay in ms, which gives the DCEs enough time to energize their circuits and synchronize on basic modulation patterns. Known as DSR. Originated by the DCE indicating that it is basically operating (power on, and in functional mode). Known as DTR. Originated by the DTE to instruct the DCE to setup a connection. Actually it means that the DTE is up and running and ready to communicate. A signal from the DCE to the DTE that there is an incomming call (telephone is ringing). Only used on switched circuit connections. Known as DCD. A signal send from DCE to its DTE to indicate that it has received a basic carrier signal from a (remote) DCE.

Transmitted Data Data send by the DTE. Request To Send Originated by the DTE to initiate transmission by the DCE. Clear To Send DCE Ready DTE Ready Ring Indicator Received Line Signal Detector

Data Signal Rate Select CH/CI A control signal that can be used to change the transmission speed. (DTE/DCE Source> DA Transmit Signal Element Timing (DTE Source) Timing signals used by the DTE for transmission, where the clock is originated by the DTE and the DCE is the slave.

DB

Transmitter Signal Element Timing Timing signals used by the DTE for transmission. (DCE Source) Receiver Signal Element Timing (DCE Source) terminal In Timing signals used by the DTE when receiving data. Signal that indicates that the DTE is available for operation

DD IS

Service NS RC LL RL SB SC SF SS TM New Signal A control signal from the DTE to the DCE. It instructs the DCE to rapidly get ready to receive a new analog signal. It helps master-station modems rapidly synchronize on a new modem at a tributary station in multipoint circuits

Receive Common A signal return for receiver circuit reference Local Loopback / A control signal from the DTE to the DCE that causes the analog Quality Detector transmision output to be connected to the analog receiver input. Signal from the DTE to the DCE. The local DCE then signals the Remote Loopback remote DCE to loopback the analog signal and thus causing a line loopback. Standby Indicator Send Common Select Frequency Select Standby Test Mode Reserved for Testing Signal from the DCE to indicate if it is uses the normal communication or standby channel A return signal for transmitter circuit reference A signal from the DTE to tell the DCE which of the two analog carrier frequencies should be used. A signal from DTE to DCE, to switch between normal communication or standby channel. A signal from the DCE to the DTE that it is in test-mode and can"t send any data.
