Moxa multiport async board products are developed in
high quality with the very latest hardware and software
techniques to provide high performance, reliable and
affordable solutions. They deliver:
Advanced Techniques
Adapts state-of-the-art ASIC (Application Specific
Integrated Circuit) technique especially designed for
multiport serial communications, which greatly reduces
the number of traditional ICs and drastically lower the
repair rate. Manufactured with ASIC, SMD and high quality
control, the return-for-repair rate is lower than 0.5%.
Compact Board Size
ASIC and SMD design minimize the board size into half-
size to suit virtually any PC cabinet. Suitable for embedded
applications.
Easy Installation
ASIC eliminates the I/O address switches or IRQ jumpers
for ISA products, all configurations are done by software
and hence ease the installation procedure. User-friendly
installation and configuration program and documentation
for quick system setup.
No Data Loss
Uses the smart I/O controller (16C550C or compatible),
which has on-chip hardware flow control to guarantee no
data loss, even at higher speed transmission.
Smart RS-485 Communication
ADDC (Automatic Data Direction Control) intelligence
makes RS-485 half-duplex control as easy as normal RS-
232 control.
Easy for Developing Applications
Serial comm. developing tools, PComm Pro/Lite for
Windows 2000, Windows NT/95/98 and API-232 for DOS/
Windows 3.x, are widely available. In addition to easy-to-
use API, helpful debugging utilities, such as data scope,
terminal emulator, monitor and diagnostics are included.
Minimize the time to market.
High Availability and Compatibility
Available in PCI, ISA, CompactPCI or PCMCIA bus
interface. Supports almost all popular operating systems
such as Windows 2000 Windows NT, Windows 95/98,
Windows 3.x, DOS, SCO UNIX, UNIX SVR4, Linux, Solaris
x86, OS/2, QNX, etc. Provide wide choices for SI or VAR
on different fields.
Industrial-strength Reliability
Optical isolation and surge protection, and even over-
current protection are supported whenever it requires to
be resistant to the interference or surge from the harsh
industrial environment. Built-in termination resistors free
you from impedance matching hassle.
