explains some of the issues involved with these types of serial
communication.
Table A-1 lists the features of the RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 standards.
RS-232
As specified in the ANSI/EIA-232-D Standard, Interface Between Data
Terminal Equipment and Data Circuit-Terminating Equipment Employing
Serial Binary Data Interchange, RS-232 standardizes serial
communication between computers, and between computer terminals and
modems. Most applications use the RS-232 standard to interface
peripherals to personal computers. RS-232 uses transmission lines in which
the state of each signal is represented by referencing the voltage level of a
single line to ground. RS-232 was designed for serial communication up to
