Product Description:
The Comtrol RocketPort uPCI 4J serial port expansion card provides four
"native" serial ports utilizing a single PCI card slot and is
compatible with all current 3.3 and 5.0 Volt PCI bus architectures. The
RJ45 serial ports, mounted on the edge of the card, support RS-232
serial communications at speeds up to 460 Kbps. Every RocketPort serial
card features the high-performance RocketPort ASIC chip, consisting of
a dedicated 44MHz processor that minimizes host CPU utilization and
larger transmit-and-receive buffers than those of 16550 UART chips used
in standard PC serial ports and low-end serial cards. RocketPort ASIC
technology enables these cards to outperform other serial expansion
cards by handling the transmission of large amounts of data more
reliably and efficiently. Additionally, RocketPort products do not
require the assignment of interrupts, simplifying installation and
eliminating conflicts with other server cards. 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
plub-and-play compatibility
- Multi-port serial expansion using a single
slot -- maximizes host expansion capabilities; adds additional COM
ports using only one slot
- Serial port expansion untilizing a single
PCI slot -- delivers large scale serial port expansion
- On-board dedicated 44MHz RISC processor --
minimizes "host" CPU utilization
- RS-232 communications support --
enables transmit-and-receive speeds up to 460 Kbps
- Edge-mounted serial ports -- provides
cost-effective, compact serial connections
- 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
