Product Description:
The RocketPort uPCI 16-Port serial expansion card is compatible with
all current 3.3 and 5.0 Volt PCI bus architectures. It provides 16
"native" serial ports utilizing a single PCI card slot and an external
serial interface module available 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 communication. External interface modules with
additional surge protection are also available. RocketPort products are
designed with larger transmitand- 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.
