DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) Related Entries Web Links New/Updated Information Note: Many topics at this site are reduced versions of the text in "The Encyclopedia of Networking and Telecommunications." Search results will not be as extensive as a search of the book's CD-ROM. DTEs are the source or destination of data in a communication connection. DTEs are connected to DCE (data circuit-terminating equipment), which in turn is connected to the communication channel. Dumb terminals were originally classified as DTEs, but computers also fall into this category. A DCE is a modem if the circuit is an analog voice line, or a DSU/CSU if the line is digital.
