The CP6003-RA provides two COM ports, COMA and COMB. COMA is available on the front
panel as a serial RS-232, 8-pin, RJ-45 connector, J8, and on the rear I/O simultaneously.
COMB is only available as an RS-422/RS-232 interface on the rear I/O.
The CP6003-RC provides two COM ports on the rear I/O, COMA (RS-232) and COMB (RS-
422/RS-232).
COMA and COMB are fully compatible with the 16550 controller. The rear I/O COMA port in-
cludes a complete set of handshaking and modem control signals. The COMA and COMB ports
provide maskable interrupt generation. The data transfer on the COM ports is up to 115.2 kbit/s.
The following figure and table provide pinout information for the serial connector J8 (COMA).
