Overview
Smartio - The Smart Multiport Async Solutions
The term Smartio stands for smart multiport serial I/O solution. The Smartio C168 Series multiport boards offer 8 serial ports for connecting terminals, modems, printers, data acquisition equipment and any other serial devices to the PC/AT and its compatible systems. With the well-designed and fine-tuned device driver, the Smartio boards make full use of the 32 byte Tx/Rx FIFO and on-chip H/W flow control, so that they can transfer data without data loss even at high speed such as
921.6Kbps, which offers a reliable and high performance solution for serial multiport communications.
The Smartio C168 Series is equipped with custom-designed ASIC chip which replaces lots of conventional ICs and reduces the board to half-size. The whole family supports 16 bit architecture. Full range of I/O addresses and IRQs are available. In addition, with on-board EEPROM for storing the configuration data, the family is designed without jumper or switch. These features make each port on the board truly independent to any other port and thus compatible with most existing multiport boards.
The Smartio C168 Series is also available in PCI bus. Please contact MOXA dealer/distributor or MOXA Web site for more details.
