RS-232 Channel Transmission

You can manage the connected devices via RS-232 serial devices, such as 
computers or bar code scanners. The RS-232 signal transmission flow can be 
illustrated as follows:

The general concept here is that a RS-232 signal can be transmitted (Tx) to the 
receiving (Rx) end of a unit. The received signal can then be transmitted (Tx) 
to the receiving (Rx) end of another unit. The RS-232 signals can be 
transmitted back the other way.
