RS-232 defines both the physical and electrical characteristics of the interface. RS-232 is practically identical to ITU V.24 (signal description and names) and V.28 (electrical). RS232 is an Active LOW voltage driven interface and operates at +12 V to -12 V where: Signal = 0 ( LOW) > +3.0 V ( SPACE) Signal = 1 ( HIGH) < -3.0 V ( MARK) Notes: Signal voltages in the range >-3.0 V to +3.0 V are regarded as being in the 'dead area' (indeterminate value) and allow for absorption of noise. For more on the use of signals and other heavy stuff. The power level on RS232 pins is defined by TIA for short circuit protection to be 100m A. Most RS232 drivers will provide lower short circuit protection (especially for laptops). A max of 50m A PER PIN may be available but the data sheet for the specific interface/chip should be consulted before commiting to externally powered designs. We received an email recently pointing out some issues with NULL modem cables. The pinouts shown below will generally work. However, there are many permutations of signal sets that can be used by either end of.
A null modem adapter Null modem is a communication method to directly connect two DTEs (computer, terminal, printer, etc.) using an RS-232 serial cable. The name stems from the historical use of RS-232 cables to connect two teleprinter devices to two modems in order to communicate with one another; null modem communication was possible by using a crossed-over RS-232 cable instead to connect the teleprinters directly to one another. The RS-232 standard is asymmetrical as to the definitions of the two ends of the communications link, assuming that one end is a DTE and the other is a DCE, e.g. a modem. With a null modem connection the transmit and receive lines are crosslinked. Depending on the purpose, sometimes also one or more handshake lines are crosslinked. Several wiring layouts are in use because the null modem connection is not covered by a standard.

Each teleprinter would be physically connected to its modem via an RS-232 connection and the modems could call each other to establish a remote connection between the teleprinters. If a user wished to connect two teleprinters directly without modems (null modem) then they would crosslink the connections. The term null modem may also refer to the cable or adapter itself as well as the connection method.[1] Null modem cables were popular means of transferring data between the early personal computers in the 1980s and early 1990s.

DE-9 to DE-9, DE-9 to DE-25 cables. Use this cable to connect two devices equipped with serial RS-232 interface. This cable may be used to connect any RS-232 equipped device to computer, connect two computers via COM serial port and so on. RS232 cable colors included. The purpose of a null-modem serial cable is to permit two RS-232 devices to communicate with each other without modems or other communication devices between them. To achieve this, the most obvious connection is that the Tx D signal of one device must be connected to the Rx D input of the other device (and vice versa).

Some devices use other RS-232 pins for flow control. One of the most common schemes is for the DTE (the PC) to assert the RTS signal if it is ready to send data, and DCE (the modem) to assert CTS when it is able to receive data. By connecting the RTS pin of one device to the CTS pin of the other device, we can simulate this handshake. Also, it is common convention for many devices to assert the DTR signal when they are powered on, and for many DCE devices to assert the DSR signal when they are powered on, and to assert the CD signal when they are connected. By connecting the DTR signal of one DTE to both the CD and DSR inputs of the other DTE (and vice versa we are able to trick each DTE into thinking that it is connected.
Null modem, an introduction Serial communications with RS232. One of the oldest and most widely spread communication methods in computer world. The way this type of communication can be performed is pretty well defined in standards. I.e. with one exception. The standards show the use of DTE/ DCE communication, the way a computer should communicate with a peripheral device like a modem. For your information, DTE means data terminal equipment (computers etc.) where DCE is the abbreviation of data communication equipment (modems). One of the main uses of serial communication today where no modem is involved—a serial null modem configuration with DTE/ DTE communication—is not so well defined, especially when it comes to flow control. The terminology null modem for the situation where two computers communicate directly is so often used nowadays, that most people don't realize anymore the origin of the phrase and that a null modem connection is an exception, not the rule. In history, practical solutions were developed to let two computers talk with each other using a null modem serial communication line. In most situations, the original modem signal lines are reused to perform some sort of handshaking. Handshaking can increase the maximum allowed communication speed because it gives the computers the ability to control the flow of information. High amounts of incomming data is allowed if the computer is capable to handle it, but not if it is busy performing other tasks. If no flow control is implemented in the null modem connection, communication is only possible at speeds at which it is sure the receiving side can handle the amount information even under worst case conditions. Original use of RS232 When we look at the connector pinout of the RS232 port, we see two pins which are certainly used for flow control. These two pins are RTS, request to send and CTS, clear to send.
661 ratings: 4.63 out of 5 in the early days one of the leaders in the mainframe world. Although this serial interface is differential (the receive and transmit have their own floating ground level which is not the case with regular RS232) it is possible to connect RS232 compatible devices with this interface because the voltage levels of the bit streams are in the same range. Where the definition of RS232 focussed on the.
