Description
The AccelePort Xem asynchronous concentrator is an expandable, modular and intelligent serial communication solution designed specifically for small to mid-size multi-user installations. It is especially well-suited to applications that are expected to start small and grow over time, to as many as 64 ports.
This flexible system features a host adapter with an on-board RISC processor that allows you to connect up to 64 RS-232 or RS-422 serial ports to a PCI- or ISA-based system. The result is a fast, reliable way to connect terminals, printers, modems, instruments and other serial peripherals, making it ideal for applications such as data acquisition, office/factory automation, and industrial process control.
AccelePort Xem host card
- Universal PCI (3.3v & 5v) bus & ISA bus
- PCI/PCI-X compatible
- Low profile PCI option
- Data transfer rates up to 115.2 Kbps per port
- One host card (one slot) supports up to four PORTS modules for a maximum of 64 ports
- On-board IDT 3081 RISC processor with patented Front End Processor/Operating System (FEP/OS)
PORTS modules
- Interchangeable between PCI, PCI-X, low profile PCI/PCI-X, and ISA buses
- Used to expand the Digi PortServer II product to a maximum of 64 ports
- Eight or 16 RS-232 asynchronous serial ports with RJ-45 or DB-25 male connectors
- 1U 19" rack option — 16 ports with RJ-45 connectors
- RS-422 option — 16 ports with DB-25 male connectors
- Surge protection on all signals
- Supports full modem control and full hardware handshaking (CTS, RTS, DSR, DTR and DCD) on all ports
- External Bus Interface (EBI) provides power to PORTS modules from bus. Applications that use less than 32 ports do not need a power supply option.
