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