16-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 rack mount 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

The RocketPort uPCI 16-Port serial expansion card is compatible with all current 3.3 and 5.0 Volt PCI bus architectures. It provides 16 native serial ports utilizing a single PCI card slot and an external serial interface module available 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 communication. External interface 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 2 directive under CE.

Application Notes

Dual Redundant Secure Access to Serial Ports

To gain dual redundant secure access to the serial ports of servers, begin by connecting a server to the console port of the SERIMUX-CS-xx. Then, configure a serial port on the SERIMUX-CS-xx to a user port and connect an additional server to that port. Use Secure Shell to access one of the servers connected to the internet. Then, using a terminal program such as minicom, tip or cu, access the SERIMUX-CS-xx Console Switch. Log in to the SERIMUX-CS-xx Console Switch to access any of the serial management ports of the servers as shown below.
