The DTE connector is typically used on a computer or terminal, and the DCE connector is typically used on a modem or other device. The adapter level-shifts 4 UART signals: TX, RX, RTS and CTS, whilst the Bus Pirate UART supports hardware flow control using the RTS and CTS pins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMicrocontrollers typically have a TTL serial UART where a 0 is represented by 0 volts and a 1 is represented by 3.3volts or 5volts. RS-232 uses a different voltage range - a 0 is represented by +3 to +15volts and a 1 is represented by -3 to -15volts.
