92 _______________________________ FUNDAMENTAL WIDE AREA NETWORKING CONCEPTSFigure 1.48RS-449 interchange circuitsThe use of RS-422,RS-423,and RS-449 permits the cable distance betweenDTEs and DCEs to be extended to 4000 feet in comparison to RS-232's 50-footlimitation. Figure 1.48 indicates the RS-449 interchange circuits. In comparingRS-449 to RS-232,you will note the addition of 10 circuits which are either newcontrol or status indicators and the deletion of three functions formerly providedby RS-232. The most signi®cant functions added by RS-449 are local and remoteloopback signals. These circuits enable the operation of diagnostic features builtinto communications equipment via DTE control,permitting,as an example,theloopback of the device to the DTE and its placement into a test mode operation.With the introduction of RS-232-D a local loopback function was supported.Thus,the column labeled RS-232 Designation with the row entry `Local
