Part Number 99356-8
The RocketPort uPCI 32-Port serial expansion card is compatible with all current 3.3 and 5.0 Volt PCI bus architectures. It provides 32 "native" serial ports utilizing a single 32- or 64-bit PCI card slot and an external serial interface module sold separately that supports RS-232 or RS-422 serial communications at speeds up to 230 Kbps. Individual serial ports on the same interface module can be configured for either RS-232 or RS- 422 serial communication. External interfaces modules with additional surge protection are also available. RocketPort products are designed with larger transmit-and-receive buffers than those of a 16550 UART found in typical PC serial ports and low-end serial cards, enabling them to handle the transmission of large amounts of data reliably and efficiently. They also utilize an on-board 36MHz processor, minimizing host CPU utilization. RocketPort products do not require the assignment of interrupts, simplifying installation and eliminating conflicts with other server cards. Drivers are available for popular operating systems. The product is fully compliant with the RoHS directive 2002/95/EC.
Highlights
- RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC compliant
- Universal PCI design supporting 3.3 and 5.0 Volt PCI bus architectures > ensures compatibility with all current PCI bus architectures
- I/O mapping capabilities > simplifies installation, eliminates memory conflicts, and enables plug-and-play compatibility
- Multiport serial expansion using a single slot > maximizes host expansion capabilities; adds additional COM ports using only one slot
- Standard IT rackmount RJ45 and surge protected DB25 interfaces available > provides compatibility with existing rackmount equipment and harsh environments
- On-board dedicated 36MHz RISC processor > minimizes
- Support for RS-232 and RS-422 interfaces on each port > provides more options and enhanced compatibility
- Transmit buffer 16 times larger, and receive buffers 64 times larger than a 16550 UART > helps ensure smooth, efficient data transfer
- Robust driver support > enables card to work seamlessly with popular operating systems
