Patent ID: 7206874

Claim:
A converter having a status indicator, the converter converting an RS232 connector to an RJ45 connector, the RS232 connector having signals of RXD (received data), CTS (clear to send), DSR (data set ready), RTS (request to send), and DTR (data terminal ready), The RJ45 converter comprising: a capturing unit, having a buffer switch, a first OR gate switch and a second OR gate switch; a display unit, having a first light-emitting diode (LED), the first LED lighting when the N pole of the first LED receives a low voltage signal; and a second, LED, the second LED lighting when the P pole of the second LED receives a high voltage signal; and a driving unit, having a first metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) switch, wherein when the gate electrode of the first MOS switch receives a high voltage signal, the first MOS switch outputs a high voltage signal to the P pole of the second LED; and a second MOS switch, wherein when the gate electrode of the second MOS switch receives a high voltage signal, the second MOS switch outputs a high voltage signal to the P pole of the second LED; wherein the buffer switch buffers the RXD signal to the N pole of the first LED, the first OR gate processes the RTS signal and the CTS signal to output to the gate electrode of the first MOS switch, and the second OR gate processes the DSR signal and the DTR signal to output to the gate electrode of the second MOS switch.
