Synchronous/asynchronous mode
Synchronous/Asynchronous serial interface can work in either
synchronous or asynchronous mode. Different signalling standards are
supported in these two modes. V.35 and V.24 (RS232) support
synchronous operating mode, while V.24 (RS232), support the
asynchronous operating mode. The maximum transmission distance and
baud rate of the signal vary with the operating mode.
