ABSTRACT:
The Electronic Industry Association (EIA) RS-232 interface signals are manipulated to additionally convey operating mode information from a piece of data communications equipment (DCE) to its respective data terminal equipment (DTE). In particular, in establishing a data connection, the data communications equipment may transmit information in either half-duplex mode or full-duplex mode. In order to convey which mode of transmission is being used, the data communications equipment manipulates the EIA RS-232 interface signals to provide a notification signal, which is representative of the particular mode, to the data terminal equipment. As a result of receiving this notification signal, the data terminal equipment can then switch to the same mode of operation.
