10.1.3.3 DTE to DCE with Handshaking
DCE devices require different wiring. The handshaking lines must be connected in most cases. Note
that many DCE devices are half-duplex. Select half-duplex operation with these devices. The
diagram below shows common connection of a SCADAPack 350 with a DCE device requiring
handshaking lines.
