RS-232 is an EIA standard which is the most common way of linking data devices together.
Short for recommended standard-232C, standard interface approved by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) for connecting serial devices. In 1987, the EIA released a new version of the standard and changed the name to EIA-232-D. And in 1991, the EIA teamed up with Telecommunications Industry association (TIA) and issued a new version of the standard called EIA/TIA-232-E. Many people, however, still refer to the standard as RS-232C, or just RS-232. Almost all modems conform to the EIA-232 standard and most personal computers have an EIA-232 port for connecting a modem or other device. In addition to modems, many display screens, mice, and serial printers are designed to connect to a EIA-232 port. In EIA-232 parlance, the device that connects to the interface is called a Data Communications Equipment (DCE) and the device to which it connects (e.g., the computer) is called a Data Terminal Equipment (DTE).
A standard by the Electronics Institute of America (EIA) that specifies the electrical characteristics of slow speed interconnections between terminals and computers or between two computers.
Developed in the early 1960s as a standard for the Electronic Industries Alliance. Used as a common interface for data communications equipment.

A protocol used in communication between microprocessor devices
RS-232 is a long-established standard that describes the physical interface and protocol for low-speed serial data communication between devices. This is the interface that e.g. a computer uses to talk to and exchange data with a modem and other serial devices.
RS-232 is an industry standard for the interface that your computer uses to talk to and exchange data with your modem and other serial peripheral devices. Serial refers to the fact that the data is transfered one bit at a time. In a parallel connection (such as a parallel printer), data is sent in groups of bits over multiple wires. The current version of RS-232 is RS-232C.
RS-232 is a standard defined an asynchronous serial communication method. Data is transferred to and from the computer through a comm (communication) port that uses this RS-232 method of communication. [Section 6.1.3
is a long-established standard that describes the physical interface and protocol for relatively low-speed serial data communication between computers and related devices. RS-232 is the interface that your computer uses to talk to and exchange data with your modem and other serial devices. RS232 supports up to 256Kbps and cable lengths of up to 50 ft. Many data collection terminals have RS232 ports. RS232 connectors are available in different form factors. The 9 pin version is most common and is found on the back of most PCs.

The EIA standard for connecting serial devices. http://www.camiresearch.com/Data_Com_Basics/ RS232_standard.html
A format of digital communication where only two wires are required. It is also known as a serial data communication. The RS-232 standard defines a scheme for asynchronous communications, but it does not define how the data should be represented by the bits, i.e., it does not define the overall message format and protocol. It is very often used in CCTV communications between keyboards and matrix switchers or between matrix switchers and PTZ site drivers. The advantage of RS-232 over others is its simplicity and use of only two wires.
The RS-232 standard specifies signal voltages, signal timing, signal function, a protocol for information exchange, and mechanical connectors for a serial connection.
