Intellicon-NT960/PCI ACM/16RJ

The ACM/16RJ (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 3 shows a top view of the ACM/16RJ. The ACM/16RJ offers the following features:

„16 asynchronous RS-232-C serial ports

„16 RJ-45 (8 pin) connectors

„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, RTS, CTS, DCD.

„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.

„Up to eight ACM/16's, ACM/16RJ’s and/or ACM/Flex16’s can connect to an Intellicon-NT960/PCI Host Adapter providing up to 128 serial ports.
