NOTES:
1.

No internal termination is provided.

2.

Pins 1, 2, and 3 are connected internally. Pins 7 and 8 are connected internally. The pins are

permanently asserted to 5V so that DTE devices that require DCD, DTR, or CTS signals will
operate. However, hardware flow control via RTS is not recognized.

3.

The Common terminals are optically isolated; however, there is transient voltage protection

circuitry between the Common terminals and chassis ground.
