Intellicon-NT960/PCI ACM/16
The ACM/16 (Asynchronous Communication Module) is an
external module that connects to the NT960/PCI Host Adapter via
a high speed 37 pin external bus cable. Figure 2 shows a top
view of the ACM/16. The ACM/16 offers the following features:
„ 16 asynchronous RS-232-C serial ports.
„ Four CLCD1400 RISC-like quad UARTS c/w 12 bytes of
receive and 12 bytes of transmit FIFO for each port.
„ Each port is individually programmable for baud rates up to
115 Kbps.
„ Each RS-232 port supports the following signals: TxD, RxD,
DTR, DSR, RTS, CTS, DCD, RI.
„ Support for 5 to 8 data bits per character plus optional parity;
odd, even, no or forced parity; and 1 or 2 Stop Bits.
„ Includes a 37 pin bus cable and an external power supply.
