Typical RS-232 Pin Assignments and Names
The handshaking lines are to be used to detect the status of the sender and receiver,
and to regulate the flow of data. It would be unusual for most of these pins to be connected
in any one application. The most common pins are provided on the DB-9 connector, and
are also described below.
TXD/RXD - (transmit data, receive data) - data lines
DCD - (data carrier detect) - this indicates when a remote device is present
