Synchronous Interface between Data Terminal Equipment and Data Circuit Terminating Equipment Employing Serial Binary Data Interchange Both implementations are in wide spread use and will be referred to as RS 232 in this document RS 232 is capable of operating at data rates up to 20K bps 50 ft The absolute maximum data rate may vary due to line conditions and cable lengths RS 232 often operates at 38 4K bps over very short distances The voltage levels defined by RS 232 range from 12 to 12 volts RS 232 is a single ended or unbalanced interface meaning that a single electrical signal is compared to a common signal ground to determine binary logic states A voltage of 12 volts usually 3 to 10 volts represents a binary O space and 12 volts 3 to 10 volts denote a binary 1 mark The RS 232 and the EIA TIA 574 specification define two types of interface circuits Data Terminal Equipment DTE and Data Circuit Terminating Equipment DCE The Black Box Adapter is a DTE interface Black Box IC1600C Page 9 Appendix D Asynchronous Communications Appendix D Asynchronous Communications Serial data communications implies that individual bits of a character are transmitted consecutively to a receiver that assembles the bits back into a character Data rate error checking handshaking and character framing start stop bits are pre defined and must correspond at both the transmitting and receiving ends Asynchronous communica
