Synopsis
SystemBase MultiPort PCI boards are installed on a PCI slot of your PC, providing 1,
2,4,8,16,24 or 32 RS 232/RS422/RSs485 serial ports.
Multi-1/PCI, Multi-2/PCI, Multi-4/PCI, Multi-8/PCI MultiPort boards provide one, two,
four and eight serial ports respectively.
Multi-32/PCI MultiPort board is composed of 8, 16, 24, 32 ports with the extended
external port box, Each port complies with standard UART for both-way communication
at up to 921,600 bps.
MultiPort PCI board occupies one interrupt number (IRQ) and many I/O addresses.
MultiPort PCI board has automatic setting functions that eliminate the inconvenience of
manually setting I/O base addresses and IRQ numbers.
Each PC has up to four multiPort PCI boards and amounts to up to 128 ports.
In Multi user environments such as SCO UNIX, Linux and Windows
2000/NT/XP/2003/Vista MultiPort PCI boards operate in multi-user mode connecting
several terminals to one PC through multiplexed asynchronous serial communications.
In singular user environments such as windows 98 and MS-DOS, MultiPort PCI boards
operate in multi-device mode connecting several devices to one PC through
multiplexed asynchronous serial communications.
The MultiPort board includes
1. MultiPort controller board.
2. External port box(however, it is excluded from
3. Multi-1, 2, 4J, 8C, 16C).
4. Controller cable(however, it is excluded from Multi-1,2).
