8.2.3 External Timing
If External timing is required ie the modem is to be used as a DTE then a change over cable
will be required as shown in the diagram below:

J2 – X.21 SEXT (External Signal Element Timing) Circuit Termination – This link connects a 120
ohm load resistor across the SEXT circuit in position 1-3. This helps maintain signal rise times
and minimises reflections at rates greater than 9.6kbps over long lines. At lower rates and
over short lines the termination resistor may be omitted, (link set position 1-2).
