A serial port is a serial communication physical interface through which information transfers in or out one bit at a time. Ethernet, FireWire, and USB use serial port, compliant to the RS-232 standard. In modern personal computers the serial port has largely been replaced by USB and Firewire for connections to peripheral devices. Serial ports are commonly still used in applications such as industrial automation systems, scientific analysis, shop till systems and some industrial and consumer products. Server computers may use a serial port as a control console for diagnostics. Network equipment (such as routers and switches) often use serial console for configuration. A serial port requires very little supporting software from the host system.
