Asynchronous Protocol

Question & Answer


Question

Asynchronous Protocol

Answer


Asynchronous Protocol

Asynchronous (async) is a communications protocol that transmits one byte of information at a time at irregular time intervals. A start bit (one character) precedes the byte (eight characters) of information and a stop bit (one character) follows the byte. Sometimes a parity (checking) bit is included in the transmission to ensure data integrity. The sending and receiving computers do not have to be synchronized.

You can access Sterling B2B CollaborationNetwork using the asynchronous communications protocol.
