Mux Cards
Mux Cards
The Mux Card occupies a single EISA or PCI slot in the host computer
and provides the intelligent communications functions to “off-load” the
CPU serial communications processing tasks.
Table 1-1 HP EISA/PCI Mux Card models
There are two types of Mux Cards as listed in Table 1-1. The Mux 8 Card
has an eight port RJ-45 fan out cable. The Mux 64 Card supports 16 to 64
ports by using up to four external Port Modules, ordered separately.
Every Mux Card has at least one SuperSerial Processor (SSP). This
RISC processor controls the flow of data through multiple
communications ports.
