I/O Board C/X16 Rack System- PCI RJ45
If you think configuring a large-scale multiuser system is a complex, expensive process?think again. Thanks to the AccelePort® C/X asynchronous concentrator, it?s not only simple, it?s surprisingly affordable.
> Supports up to 128 ports from a single slot, hundreds of ports from a single host
> Delivers data transmissions speeds up to 115.2 Kbps
> Supports serial ports just about anywhere -- throughout a building, across town or around the world
> Configure and administer ports remotely, using synchronous modems, CSUs/DSUs, FRADs, ISDN terminal adapters or fractional T1s
> Available for PCI, ISA, EISA, Micro Channel, RS/6000 platforms
The AccelePort C/X system supports multiuser retail Point-Of-Sale (POS), office automation and data collection environments, providing a sophisticated blend of technologies, including an intelligent host adapter plus a desktop or rack mounted Digi C/CON Concentrator offering eight or 16 high-speed, surge-protected EIA-232 serial ports. System expansion is painless - just add more concentrators when you need more ports. A single AccelePort C/X host adapter, which includes a powerful on-board processor, can support up to eight C/CON Concentrators, providing up to 128 ports from a single slot on your server. And, depending on your host platform, you can install as many as eight AccelePort C/X host adapters, enabling a single host system to support hundreds of ports.
Supporting a wide range of platforms and operating environments, the AccelePort C/X Family of asynchronous concentrators offer a choice of device driver software. Whether you?re running Microsoft® Windows NT®, SCO® UNIX®, Linux®, or AIX, Digi?s AccelePort C/X Family provides all the support you need.
For ease of installation and optimum flexibility, the concentrators can be located up to 1,000 feet (330 meters) from the host server using standard EIA-422 cabling. A fiber optic cabling option allows you to locate your workgroups up to 1.25 miles (2 km) apart. This means that concentrators can be daisy-chained over a distance of up to 5 miles (8 km) with no loss of performance. Best of all, by using synchronous modems, you can locate concentrators anywhere in the world and enjoy a seamless extension of your system. The perfect answer for remote office connections, these concentrators are a field-proven solution for supporting branch offices and isolated warehouses.
All this makes the AccelePort C/X a serial connectivity solution that will meet your most demanding expansion needs today and well into the future.
Multiuser Solution
The AccelePort C/X System integrates easily into any computing environment that requires widespread or remote connections. Supporting the most popular multi-user operating systems from AIX to UnixWare, the UNIX drivers are engineered to support multi-channel serial port operations with no need for user programming. Compatible with a broad range of terminals, printers, modems and most other asynchronous serial peripherals, it?s a logical choice for multiple-point data acquisition, order entry, point-of-sale, UNIX-based database, distributed accounting and office/factory automation applications.
Remote Access Solution
The AccelePort C/X System offers a cost-effective, reliable means for connecting eight to 128 analog modems to a server. This allows remote users to dial in over modem connections and access information on the same server. Remote users also can upload information from a remote multi-user system to a central site. For remote sites or smaller local sites that require eight or less high-speed ports, the C/CON-8 Concentrator delivers 115.2 Kbps on each port is an ideal solution.
