Octa/RJ45

Highlights

The Comtrol RocketPort Plus uPCI Octa/RJ45 serial port expansion card provides eight “native” serial ports utilizing a single PCI card slot and is compatible with all current 3.3 and 5.0 Volt PCI bus architectures. The RJ45 serial ports support RS-232 serial communications at speeds up to 921

Kbps. Every RocketPort serial card features the high-performance

RocketPort ASIC chip, consisting of a dedicated 44MHz processor that minimizes host CPU utilization and larger transmit-and-receive buffers than those of 16550 UART chips used in standard PC serial ports and low-end serial cards. RocketPort ASIC technology enables these cards to outperform other serial expansion cards by handling the transmission of large amounts of data more reliably and efficiently. Additionally, RocketPort products do not require the assignment of interrupts, simplifying installation and eliminating conflicts with other server cards. The product is fully compliant with the European RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC.

• RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC compliant

• Universal PCI design supporting 3.3 and

5.0 Volt PCI bus architectures—ensures compatibility with all current PCI bus architectures

• I/O mapping capabilities—simplifies installation, eliminates memory conflicts, and enables plug-and-play compatibility

• Multiport serial expansion using a single slot—maximizes host expansion capabilities; adds eight COM ports using only one slot

• On-board dedicated 44MHz RISC processor—minimizes "host" CPU utilization

• RS-232 communications support—enables transmit-and-receive speeds up to 921 Kbps

• RJ45 fan-out cable—provides cost-effective, compact, and flexible serial connections

• Transmit buffers 16 times larger, and receive buffers 64 times larger, than a

16550 UART—helps ensure smooth, efficient data transfer

• Robust driver support—enables card to work seamlessly with popular operating systems
