Table 6-8 Half-Duplex with Supervisory Control (HDX A) Signals
Pin	Name (Mnemonic)	CCITT / EIA	Switch	Description
1	Protective ground (PGND)	101/AA	-	Connects to terminal chassis. Also connects to external ground through third wire of power cord.
2	Transmit data (TXD)	103/BA	S6	From VT102: When switch S6 is on (closed), signals on TXD are serial characters and breaks generated by the terminal. TXD is in mark state when no characters are transmitted.
NOTE: When S6 is on (closed), switch S7 must be off (open).
3	Received data (RXD)	104/BB	-	To VT102: RXD receives serial characters from the computer.
4	Request to send (RTS)	105/CA	S1	From VT102: When switch S1 is on (closed), RTS is on if terminal is ready to transmit characters and off if terminal is receiving characters.
5	Clear to send (CTS)	106/CB	S2	To VT102: When switch S2 is on (closed), CTS indicates when modem is ready to transmit data to the computer. When on, modem is ready to transmit data and CTS indicator is on. When off, modem is not ready to transmit data and CTS indicator is off.
NOTE: When S2 is on (closed), switch S3 must be off (open).
6	Data set ready (DSR)	107/CC	-	From VT102: When DSR is on: DSR indicator is on Modem connects to a communication line Modem is ready to use modem control signals. When DSR is off: DSR indicator is off Terminal performs a disconnect.
7	Signal ground (SGND)	102/AB	-	SGND is common ground reference potential for all connector signals except protective ground. SGND connects to protective ground conductor.
8	Receive line signal detector (RLSD)	109/CF	-	To VT102: Also called carrier detect, RLSD is on when communication line signals are good enough to receive data from computer. When off, terminal is transmitting data to computer or modem is disconnected from communication line; data received is ignored.
12	Secondary receive line signal detector (SRLSD)	122/SCF	S4	To VT102: Also called secondary carrier detect, SRLSD is on when transmitting data to computer. When off, terminal is receiving data from computer or modem is disconnected from communication line.
19	Secondary request to send (SRTS)	120/SCA	S8	From VT102: When switch S8 is on (closed), SRTS is on if terminal is ready to receive characters and off if terminal is transmitting characters.
NOTE: Switch S5 must be off (open).
20	Data terminal ready (DTR)	108.2/CD	-	From VT102: DTR is on when terminal is on-line and off when terminal is off-line or performing a disconnect. When on, modem can usually answer calls (modem auto answer option). When off, modem usually disconnects and does not answer calls.
23	Speed select (SPSD)	111/CH	S10	From VT102: SPSD is on when receive speed SET-UP feature selection is greater than 600 baud. SPSD is off when speed is 600 baud or less.
