Product Description
When you find that you have more serial devices than ports, RocketPort offers a quick, cost-effective solution. Each RocketPort adds 4 to 32 "native" COM ports to your PC server or PC client using only a single PC slot-and no IRQs. The Comtrol RocketPort family of multiport cards makes serial connectivity more powerful, reliable, easier to use, and more cost effective than any other controller available today. RocketPort performance capabilities make it ideal for peripheral control applications such as data acquisition, point-of-sale, and factory floor automation, as well as remote network access and Internet access.The heart of the RocketPort card is Comtrol's exclusive AIOPIC chip, a 36Mhz ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) that enables the RocketPort to transmit and receive data at rates far higher than multiport cards based on conventional 16550 UART technology-up to 921 Kbps full duplex across all ports simultaneously. Along with improved throughput speed and reduced load on the host system CPU, the AIOPIC chip also adds an important benefit: increased reliability, with the highest level of integration and longest mean time between failures of any multiport serial card currently on the market.This unit requires interfaces with the following P/Ns: 94100-2, 95100-1, 97100-9.
