Data Channel
A communication path between two points used to transmit digital signals.
Data Communications Equipment (DCE)
Refers to a specific RS-232C interface connector configuration. DCE devices are
designed to interface directly (pin-for-pin) to Data Terminal Equipment (DTE). The
transmit and receive pins are reversed from that of a DTE interface. A modem is an
example of a DCE device.
Data End Point
Two general groups;
those having a DTE type interface, which encompasses almost
all of the data terminal devices, and the group of DCE interface devices which are
primarily modems.
However, it must be noted that within each category, control
interfaces may also vary.
Refer to Analog Data Endpoint and Digital Data
Endpoints for additional information.
