RS232 AND RS485 WIRING CONNECTIONS

The cable connections to an IBM PC-compatible computer are different for RS232 and RS485.
The RS232 cable connections at the computer end may interface with either a 25-pin
or a 9-pin subminiature D connector. Both are commonly used and have pin connec-
tions as shown below.
