B.2 Async Concentrator and Serial Number

Inside Async Concentrator, each 16550C chip controls one port. The 16550C is an advanced asynchronous controller capable of on-chip hardware flow control and higher speed up to 460.8K bps.

Each Async Concentrator has its own unique serial number for identification. Serial Number is the only way to locate the Async Concentrator and then serial ports.
