The Serial Interface
The serial interface is a standard developed by the Electronic Industries
Association (EIA). It defines the signals and voltages used when data is
exchanged between a computer and a modem or serial printer.
The entire standard covers many more functions than are used in most data
communications applications. Data is transmitted between the devices over a
shielded serial cable with a 25-pin male (DB-25) connector to the modem and a
25-pin, 9-pin, 8-pin, or custom-built connector to the computer.
FCC regulations require the use of a shielded cable when connecting a modem to
a computer to ensure minimal interference with radio and television.
Pin assignments are factory-set in the U.S. Robotics modem to match the
standard DB-25 assignments in the following table. DB-9 connectors for
IBM/AT-compatible computers should be wired at the computer end of the cable
as shown in the DB-9 column.
