AS 3593-1988

Describes an arrangement for interconnection of Data Terminal Equipment (DTE), without intermediate Data Circuit-terminating Equipment (DCE), in terms of electrical, mechanical, and functional characteristics. This Standard applies to DTEs with interface circuits standardized in CCITT Recommendation X.24 for transmission over public data networks. The interconnections are restricted to point-to-point connections. This Standard applies to DTEs which employ the balanced electrical characteristics of CCITT Recommendation V.11 (X.27) for data signalling rates up to 10 Mbits/s. This Standard is identical with ISO 8481:1986.
