Comtrol RocketPort Universal PCI 32-Port 99356-8 Folheto

Part number 993568

The RocketPort uPCI 32-Port serial expansion card is compatible with all 

current 3.3 and 5.0 Volt PCI bus architectures. It provides 32 “native”

serial ports utilizing a single 32- or 64-bit PCI card slot and an external

serial interface module sold separately that supports RS-232 or RS-422

serial communications at speeds up to 230 Kbps. Individual serial ports

on the same interface module can be configured for either RS-232 or RS-

422 serial communication. External interfaces modules with additional

surge protection are also available. RocketPort products are designed with

larger transmit-and-receive buffers than those of a 16550 UART found in

typical PC serial ports and low-end serial cards, enabling them to handle

the transmission of large amounts of data reliably and efficiently. They also

utilize an on-board 36MHz processor, minimizing host CPU utilization.

RocketPort products do not require the assignment of interrupts,

simplifying installation and eliminating conflicts with other server cards. 

Drivers are available for popular operating systems. The product is fully

compliant with the 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

• 32-port serial expansion utilizing a single

PCI slot—delivers large scale serial port
expansion

• Standard IT rackmount RJ45 and surge

protected DB25 interfaces
available—provides compatibility with
existing rackmount equipment and harsh
environments

• On-board dedicated 36MHz RISC

processor—minimizes "host" CPU
utilization 

• Support for RS-232 and RS-422 interfaces

on each port—provides more options and
enhanced compatibility 

• 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
