Connecting Two Devices using RS-232
Usually inputs are connected to inputs; and outputs
to outputs. It is important to know that there are two
types of RS-232 ports, DTE and DCE, and that the
signal names and pin numbers are the same, but
signal ow is opposite. The pin labeled Tx can be
input; and Rx can be output.
The two ports types are complementary. Output
signals on a DTE port are Inputs to a DCE port;
and Output signals on a DCE port are Inputs to a
DTE port. The signal names match each other and
connect pin for pin.
