    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Carrier_Detect

    When used in this scenario, DCD is used to simply detect the presence and/or readiness of the other side to start a session. For example, on Windows PCs, the DTR output is kept low until some program is run to access the serial port and raise the DTR signal high. The remote side will sense this as the DCD input going high.

    The DE-9 serial port on the PC does not provide any dedicated power source. The mouse driver holds the DTR and RTS lines high at all times so that the device has a source of power. Another category of devices commonly powered by the DTR line includes converters between RS-232 and other serial standards such as RS-422 and RS-485.
