MODEM STATUS REGISTER (MSR)
This register provides the current state of the control lines from the MODEM (or peripheral device) to the CPU. In
addition to this current-state information, four bits of the MODEM Status Register provide change information.
The latter bits are set to a logic 1 whenever a control input from the MODEM changes state. They are reset to
logic 0 whenever the CPU reads the MODEM Status Register.

Description
7
DCD Input
R DCD Input Status
Status
DCD
This bit is the complement of the Data Carrier Detect (DCD) input. In the loopback mode, this bit is
equivalent to the OUT2 of the MCR.
1 = DCD input is logic 0.
0 = DCD input is logic 1.
6
RI Input
R RI Input Status
Status
RI This bit is the complement of the Ring Indicator (RI) input. In the loopback mode, this bit is equivalent to
OUT1 of the MCR.
1 = RI input is logic 0.
0 = RI input is logic 1.
5
DSR Input
R DSR Input Status
Status
DSR This bit is the complement of the Data Set Ready (DSR) input. In the loopback mode, this bit is
equivalent to DTR in the MCR.
1 = DSR input is logic 0.
0 = DSR input is logic 1.
4
CTS Input
R CTS Input Status
Status
CTS This bit is the complement of the Clear to Send (CTS) input. In the loopback mode, this bit is equivalent
to RTS in the MCR.
1 = CTS input is logic 0.
0 = CTS input is logic 1.
3 DDCD Input R Delta DCD Input Indicator
Status
0 This bit is the Delta Data Carrier Detect (DDCD) indicator. Bit 3 indicates that the DCD input has changed
state since the last read by the host.
1 = DCD input has changed state.
0 = DCD input has no state change (default).
Note: Whenever bit 0, 1, 2, or 3 is set to logic 1, a MODEM Status Interrupt is generated.
2 Falling Edge R Falling Edge RI Indicator
RI Indicator
0 This bit is theFalling Edge of Ring Indicator (TERI) detector. Bit 2 indicates that the RI input pin has
changed from a logic 0 to 1 since the last read by the host.
1 = RI input has changed state from logic 0 to 1.
0 = RI input has no state change from 0 to 1 (default).
1 DDSR Input R Delta DSR Input Indicator
Indicator
0 This bit is the Delta Data Set Ready (DDSR) indicator. Bit 1 indicates that the DSR input pin has changed
state since the last read by the host.
1 = DSR input has changed state from logic 0 to 1.
0 = DSR input has no state change from 0 to 1 (default).
0 DCTS Input R Delta CTS Input Indicator
Indicator
0 This bit is the Delta Clear to Send (DCTS) indicator. Bit 0 indicates that the CTS input pin has changed
state since the last time it was read by the host.
1 = CTS input has changed state.
0 = CTS input has no state change (default).
