RS-232 
Communication between the Serial base station or the RS-232 interface of the Analog 
base station and the host computer is via a standard RS-232 connection as shown in the 
RS-232 Signals Definition and RS-232 Asynchronous Character Format tables.

USB 2.0 
Communication between the USB base station or the USB interface of the Analog base 
station and the host computer is via a USB 2.0 compliant connection using a Silicon 
Laboratories CP2101 USB-to-UART Bridge chip on the base station supported by 
Silicon Laboratories Virtual Communications Port (VCP) drivers installed on the host 
PC.
