This is the fast, reliable solution for connecting multiple serial devices. Sun's PCI Serial Asynchronous Interface adapter, with eight ports, provides the flexibility to connect low-speed, non-modem devices as well as modems at speeds of up to 115.2 Kbps.Delivering the high speeds necessary for demanding modem and remote access connections, this adapter is also reliable enough for point-of-sale, data collection and industrial automation applications. A variety of serial devices, allowing for different port settings with bit rates from 50 bps to 115.2 Kbps, can be attached to the same adapter. Designed with no jumpers or switches to reduce the possibility of conjuration errors, the Sun PCI Serial Asynchronous Interface adapter is easily installed. The graphical configuration tools set the bit rates, RS-232 signals, and flow controls of each individual port, ensuring interoperability with all standard serial devices. Diagnostic support is deployed via the Sun Port Manager. This tool displays signal states in real-time, runs loopback tests and verifies the adapter is working correctly.Enhanced performance is facilitated by the on-board processor, which reduces the burden on the host CPU. Companies utilizing the Sun SPARC PCI platform now have the ideal solution for supporting a wide range of serial devices. The Sun PCI Serial Asynchronous Interface adapter is the most flexible way to connect peripherals to the enterprise.
