description

The AccelePort Xem asynchronous concentrator is an expandable, modular and intelligent serial communication solution designed specifically for small to mid-size multi-user installations. It is especially well-suited to applications that are expected to start small and grow over time, to as many as 64 ports.

This flexible system features a host adapter with an on-board RISC processor that allows you to connect up to 64 RS-232 or RS-422 serial ports to a PCI- or ISA-based system. The result is a fast, reliable way to connect terminals, printers, modems, instruments and other serial peripherals, making it ideal for applications such as data acquisition, office/factory automation, and industrial process control.

AccelePort Xem host card 

• Universal PCI (3.3v & 5v) bus & ISA bus
• PCI/PCI-X compatible
• Low profile PCI option
• Data transfer rates up to 115.2 Kbps per port
• One host card (one slot) supports up to four PORTS modules for a maximum of 64 ports
• On-board IDT 3081 RISC processor with patented Front End Processor/Operating System (FEP/OS)

PORTS modules

• Interchangeable between PCI, PCI-X, low profile PCI/PCI-X, and ISA buses
• Used to expand the Digi PortServer II product to a maximum of 64 ports
• Eight or 16 RS-232 asynchronous serial ports with RJ-45 or DB-25 male connectors
• 1U 19" rack option — 16 ports with RJ-45 connectors
• RS-422 option — 16 ports with DB-25 male connectors
• Surge protection on all signals
• Supports full modem control and full hardware handshaking (CTS, RTS, DSR, DTR and DCD) on all ports
• External Bus Interface (EBI) provides power to PORTS modules from bus. Applications that use less than 32 ports do not need a power supply option.
