RS232 is a single-ended data transmission protocol. The RS232 signals are represented by voltage levels
with respect to a system common (power/logic ground). The “idle” state (MARK) has the signal level
negative with respect to common, and the “active” state (SPACE) has the signal level positive with respect to
common.
