Offering unparalleled reliability and ease of installation, the Digi ClassicBoard® serial card provides the ultimate in cost-effective communication technology. The ClassicBoard is best suited to applications where the CPU is able to devote some of its resources to handling computations or to real time applications that require short latency time intervals. This solution is ideal for connecting cash registers, print receipt devices, scanners, and other peripheral devices in retail POS systems. It can also be used in applications using sensors, switches, measurement devices, factory automation, EDI, industrial control processing, and data collection.

Each model is available with 16C654 UARTs with a 64 byte FIFO, delivering optimum throughput up to 460.8Kbps. And every signal is safeguarded by built-in surge protection which ensures that electrical interference, power surges or brown-outs don’t interfere with the system operation.

It is remarkably easy to install. No dip-switches or jumpers to set-and no hassles! All models are Microsoft® Windows 95/98/Me, Windows Xp and Windows 2000 Plug-and-Play compatible. In non plug-and-play environments, the ClassicBoard is software configurable using Digi’s exclusive software configuration utility.

Best of all, the Digi ClassicBoard Family features the same quality, reliability and support that have made Digi the leader in Connectware, with over 15 million ports shipped. Make ClassicBoard a standard in your application. We’re sure you’ll agree that a classic is always a great investment.
