RS232

Common names: EIA-232D (RS232-D), ITU-TSS (CCITT) V.24/V.28, ISO 2110

 (at the DTE)
 (at the DCE)

25 PIN D-SUB MALE at the DTE (Computer).
25 PIN D-SUB FEMALE at the DCE (Modem).

Note: Direction is DTE (Computer) relative DCE (Modem).
Note: RS232 column is RS232 circuit name.
Note: ITU-T column is ITU-TSS V.24 circuit name.
Note: Do not connect SHIELD(1) to GND(7).
