2 TNC data interfaces

Control and signal lines:
DCD (Data Carrier Detect):
Received signal level. The DCD signal indicates
to the transmitter that the information received
at the receiver lies within the defined level.
The DCD signal (pin 8) is not used by the TNC,
i.e. the TNC delivers no signal from pin 8.
DTR (Data Terminal Ready):
This signal shows that the TNC is ready for service
(e.g. receiving buffer full => DTR = Low).
DSR (Data Set Ready):
Peripheral ready for service.
RTS (Request to Send):
Hardware handshake:
Output of the receiving unit
CTS (Clear to Send):
Hardware handshake:
Output of the transmitting unit
Earth conductor (cables for power supply):
Chassis GND:
Housing connection
