Incazelo: RS-232 iyinqubo yokuxhumana yocingo yokuxhuma izinhlobo ezithile zemishini ye-elekthronikhi. Ezingxenyeni zekhompyutha , izintambo ezingu-RS-232 zazivame ukusetshenziselwa ukuxhuma ama- modem kumachwephethi we- serial ahambisanayo wekhompyutha yomuntu siqu. Izintambo ezibizwa nge- null modem zingase zixhunywe ngqo phakathi kwamaports e-RS-232 wamakhompi amabili ukuze kusetshenziswe isikhombimsebenzisi esibonakalayo esifanele ukudlulisa amafayela.
Namuhla, ukusetshenziswa okuningi kwe-RS-232 ekuxhumaneni kwenethiwekhi kuye kwafakwa ubuchwepheshe be- USB . Amanye amakhompyutha nama- network routers anamachwebeni e-RS-232 ukuze asekele ukuxhumeka kwe-modem. I-RS-232 iphinde isetshenziswe kwezinye amadivaysi ezimboni, kufaka phakathi ikhebula elisha le- fiber optic kanye nokuqaliswa okungenantambo.
Futhi eyaziwa njenge: Kunconywe Standard 232
