RS232 Connector Pin Assignment
\nRS232 Cable Information
\nDB 9 and DB 25 Connection
\n<\/small><\/p>\n

The original pin layout for RS232 was developed for a 25 pins D sub connector.\u00a0 In this pin-out provisions were made for a secondary communication channel. In practice, only one communication channel with accompanying handshaking is present. For that reason the smaller 9 pin version is more commonly used today.
\nThe diagrams show the signals common to both connector types in black. The signals only present on the larger connector are shown in red.
\nNote: The protective ground is assigned to a pin at the large connector, in DB9 version protective ground connector to encloser.
\nFor the DEC modified modular jack. Although is differential (the receive and transmit have their own floating ground level) still possible to connect RS232 compatible devices with this interface.<\/small><\/p>\n

\nDB9 to DB25 converter
\n<\/small><\/p>\n

The original pin layout for RS232 was developed for a 25 pins D sub connector. From IBM-AT machine popular 9 pins connectors are commonly used. RS232 DB9 to DB25 converter cable support mixed applications for 9 to 25 pins.

\nRS232 loop-back test plug
\nThe following connectors can be used to self-test a serial port on your computer. The data and handshake lines have been linked. In this way all data will be sent back immediately. The PC controls its own handshaking.

\n<\/b>RS232 null modem cables
\n<\/small><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The using a null modem cable is easiest way to connect two PC’s.
\nFor simple connections, a three line cable connecting the signal ground and receive and transmit lines is sufficient.
\nDepending of the software used, some sort of handshaking may however be necessary. Use the selection table to find the right cable for each purpose.<\/b>
\nFor Microsoft Windows use direct cable connection, the null modem cable with loop back handshaking.
\nNull modem cables with handshaking can be defined in numerous ways, with loop back handshaking to each PC, or complete handshaking between the two systems. The most common cable types are shown here.

<\/b>RS232 printer cable
\nWhen a serial printer is connected to a PC, the handshaking is not symmetrical any more. In that case a cable is used where some handshaking lines at the PC side are looped back. On the printer side only the data lines and one handshaking line are used.

<\/b>RS232 monitor cable
\n<\/small><\/p>\n

It is not difficult to monitor the serial communication between two devices with a PC. To do this you need the monitor cable, which is displayed in the next picture. Two sockets are connected straight through. The PC is connected to the third one.
\nThis monitor cable taps communication from both sides. This means that if the two devices happen to talk simultaneously, the monitored information will be garbage. In most circumstances communication software works half duplex, in which case this problem does not exist.
