Product Description:
The RocketPort uPCI Quad/DB25 serial port expansion card is compatible
with all current 3.3 and 5.0 Volt PCI bus architectures. It provides
four "native" serial ports utilizing a single 32- or 64-bit PCI card
slot. The serial ports with DB25 connectors support RS-232 serial
communications at speeds up to 460 Kbps. RocketPort products are
designed with larger transmit-and-receive buffers than those available
in a standard 16550 UART commonly found in lower-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.
- 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
- On-board dedicated 36MHz RISC processor --
minimizes
- RS-232 communications support --
enables transmit-and-receive speeds up to 460 Kbps
- 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
