AccelePort®Xp
Multiport Serial Card
The AccelePort Xp Universal PCI (3.3V and 5V) card, available from two to 16 high-speed
serial ports, provides wide application flexibility (retail point-of-sale, industrial control
processing, data collection and office automation) and superior CPU utilization. This is
achieved through the card’s Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), which is built
around an 80 Mhz RISC processor, providing the most advanced and highest performing
design on the market today. And, unlike the competition, the AccelePort Xp communicates
at 921.6 Kbps, bi-directionally, on each and every serial port.
The AccelePort Xp is available with a wide array of DB-9, DB-25 and RJ-45 connector
options that include on board connectors, fan-out cables, external I/O boxes and
rack-mountable chassis. External options connect to the adapter using a SCSI HD-68
connector, reducing cable clutter and increases connection reliability due to its small size.
PortAssist® Manager, Digi’s web browser-based management and reporting software, is
another great feature that allows the AccelePort Xp to perform basic diagnostics, enhanced
network administration and monitoring on most supported operating systems. Additional
diagnostic and monitoring tools are available on the supported Unix operating systems.
Digi International, the leader in Connectware, makes device networking easy by manufacturing
products and technologies that are cost-effective and easy to use. With over 20 million ports
shipped worldwide, Digi has been offering the highest levels of performance, flexibility, and
quality
since 1985.
