When connecting two Cisco routers back to back, using the appropriate cable,
one router must provide clocking. The router that must do so is the one into
which the DCE end of the cable is connected. What is happening is that one
is simulating the telco network via the connected serial ports of the
router. In the world of data communications equipment, one must have DTE
connected to DCE, and DCE must supply clocking.
Those who have spent some time in study labs are quite familiar with the
process.

Subject: DTE or DCE?
could anybody explain that why s1 of a router connects with a DTE cable and
s2 connects with a DCE cable? Is the router a DTE or DCE?
Thanks,
frank
