Configure the cards’ ports as RS-232 for standard serial COM-port
requirements, and you can use a card for modems, printers, plotters,
and similar devices.

The RS-232 adapters support distances between devices
of up to 50 feet (15.2 m).
Use RS-422 mode for long-distance device connections that
require noise immunity and high data integrity (like industrial

OVERVIEW
In both RS-232 and RS-422 modes, the
PCI cards
work seamlessly
with your standard operating system’s serial driver. In RS-485 mode,
the cards’ special autoenable feature allows the RS-485 ports to be
viewed by the operating system as a COM port. This enables you to
use a standard COM driver (instead of a custom software driver) for
your high-speed

RS-485 connections. It also makes the cards compatible with DOS
and Windows 95/98 or Windows NT.
These
PCI cards
are easy to set up and use. Install
an adapter in any of the PCI expansion slots on your PC.
Configuring a card is just a matter of setting one or a few jumper
straps. I/O addresses and IRQs are automatically assigned by your PC
motherboard’s BIOS. And, because these cards slide into any standard
PCI slots, you don’t have to install a data-conversion box. They’re ideal
for field use!

Integration problems are a thing of the past with the adapters.
They support all PCI interrupts, providing a wider range of IRQs
