Chapter 1:  Introduction and General Information 
The B&B Electronics’ 3PXCC4A series serial interface cards are 
designed for the IBM PC, XT, AT and compatibles. Ports are 
configured as a standard DTE device, and connections are made on 
RJ45 style connectors. 
The 3PXCC4A cards offer exceptional setup flexibility. The 
3PXCC4A series has the ability to use any I/O address and any 
hardware interrupt. You can install as many serial ports as will 
physically fit in a machine. To use one of the “non-standard” 
addresses or interrupts, the serial software used must also offer that 
flexibility. If you are writing your own application, be sure the 
communications routines used support any address and IRQ. B&B 
Electronics’ SimpCom Communications Drivers support these 
features.
