Line 6:

In a [[data]] station, the DCE performs functions such as [[Signalling (telecommunication)|signal]] conversion, [[Channel coding|coding]], and line clocking and may be a part of the DTE or intermediate equipment. Interfacing equipment may be required to couple the data terminal equipment (DTE) into a transmission circuit or [[Communication channel|channel]] and from a transmission circuit or channel into the DTE.

Although the terms are most commonly used with [[RS-232]], several data communication standards define different types of interfaces between a DCE and a DTE. The DCE is a device that communicates with a DTE device in these standards. Standards that use this nomenclature include:

* [[Federal Standard 1037C]], [[MIL-STD-188]]
