1. Intelligent serial I/O interface card providing eight DB-25 RS232 serial
connections using an octopus cable. Support for all ports at 921.6 Kbps
simultaneously.
2. Intelligent serial I/O interface card providing sixteen RJ-45 RS232 serial
connections in a breakout box. Support for all ports at 115.2 Kbps
simultaneously.
3. Intelligent interface card providing up to 128 RS232 serial connections
(DB25 or RJ45) configured in 16 port increments utilizing any combination of
16DB
Port Modules and Multiplexer Sets. Includes two 4' (1.2 m) bus cables. Each 4'
cable supports attachment of 1 to 4 Port Modules and/or Multiplexer Interface
Units for a total of 8 per adapter. The first Port Module or Multiplexer Set
attached to a cable requires a Serial I/O PS4 Power Supply (P/N 37L1421).
Support for all ports at 115.2 Kbps simultaneously.
4. Port Modules and Multiplexer Sets attach directly to one the two standard 4'
(1.2m) bus cables of the Serial I/O SST128P Expandable Adapter (P/N
37L1416) or directly to 1 or more Port Modules or Multiplexer Sets already
attached to one of the cables. A maximum of 4 Port Modules or Multiplexer
Sets may be attached to single cable. The first Port Module or Multiplexer Set
16RJ
attached to a cable requires a Serial I/O PS4 Power Supply (P/N 37L1421).
Multiplexer Set
5. Serial I/O Adapters are 32-bit PCI half length cards. A maximum of four
(P/N 37L1419)
Serial I/O adapters (in any combination) may be installed in a single host
system.
6. Requires a customer supplied Unshielded Two-Twisted Pair (Catagory 3
minimum) cable with a maximum length of 3,500 feet (1 Km).
