Card Features.

PCI Quad 422/485 Card
This chapter details the specifications of the PCI quad opto RS422/485 card and
explains how to configure the RS485 Multiplex jumpers present on both cards.
These half-sized cards will work happily in any PCI 2.0 or greater compliant PC
compatible.
¾Ã
Four independent 9 pin D RS422/485 Serial ports.
¾Ã
Reliable communications up to 4000 feet, 1.2 Kilometres.
¾Ã
16950 FIFO provides 128-byte input and 128-byte output buffer on each
port.
¾Ã
Maximum baud rate of 912600 Baud (1 Megabaud).
¾Ã
Word length of 5, 6, 7 or 8 bits.
¾Ã
Even, Odd, None, Mark or Space parity options.
¾Ã
1 start bit always sent.
¾Ã
1, (1.5 for 5-bit data word length), or 2 stop bits.
¾Ã
TXD, RXD, RTS, and CTS signals.
¾Ã
RS485 TXD/RXD multiplex selectable by jumpers: - either FULL
DUPLEX or HALF-DUPLEX.
¾Ã
Fully double buffered for reliable asynchronous operation.
¾Ã
High-speed integrated circuitry ensures operation with fast PC's e.g. 800
MHz Pentium II WITHOUT extra wait states.
¾Ã
Autogating low level RS485 half duplex (2 wire) control
