A Typical Modem Connection

The devices involved in a modem connection belong to one of two groups: data terminal equipment (DTE) or data communications equipment (DCE).

NOTE

Interestingly, the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) defines DCE as data communications equipment. However, the International Telecommunication Union-Telecommunications Standards Sector (ITU-TSS, or ITU-T) defines DCE as data circuit-terminating equipment.


Examples of the DTE devices are

  • PCs

  • Routers

  • Mainframe computers

DCE devices include

  • Modems

  • Channel service units/data service units (CSUs/DSUs)
