its 9 pin Sub-D connector, shown below. In line with serial communication
terminology the TT4031 (SE-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:
