when a PC is connected to control a GSM Handphone, the PC is the DTE while the handphone is the DCE.
From wiki, Data terminal equipment (DTE) is an end instrument that converts user information into signals or reconverts received signals.
Therefore, the user information is entered through Hyper Terminal and is converted to control the modem.
If the PC is taken away and replaced by a microcontroller. Is the microcontroller now considered a DTE? I have read that there are such things as DTE-DTE connections.
Hope that someone can help me clarify
Thanks!
