  Datasheet (PDF)
Highlights:
  • 16 serial ports available from one PCI slot
  • Data transfer rate up to 115.2 Kbps asynchronous, full duplex, simultaneously on all ports
  • Full modem support on all ports
  • 128 bytes data buffer on each channel
  • On board hardware and software flow control on all ports
  • Driver support for SPARC, Solaris, X86 Solaris, Window 98-2000, and Linux operating systems
  • General:
    The Solflower PCI-SRL-2CN Serial Adapter allows 8 to 16 serial devices to be connected via a single PCI Bus slot. The Serial Port Adapter can operated simutaneously with each port’ s error-free data rate up to 115.2 Kbps for all 8 to 16 ports. The Serial Port Adapter is designed to work with PCI systems, which run Solaris 8™, Solaris X86™, Window 98 - 2000, and Linux Operating Systems.

    Product Description:
    The Solflower PCI Serial Port Series is a low cost high-speed adapter design based on OX16PCI954™ and OX16C954 Quad UART with on chip PCI interface. It offers high data rates, deep transmitter, receiver FIFO, delicated data buffers, and flow control processing.

    The OX16PCI954 on board is a dual-function device. Function 0 will be the internal Quad serial port built-in and function 1 provides an interface Quad UART OX16C954 that reside behind the controller (OX16PCI954). On the Solflower Serial Adapter board there are theree OX16C954s behind the controller. This makes up a total of 16 serial ports. Each channel in OX16PCI954 and OX16C954 can offer data rates up to 115.2 Kbps and 128-deep transmitter and receiver FIFOs. Deep FIFO reduce CPU overhead and ensure error-free operation especially in high speed transmitting and receiving

    The Solflower PCI Serial Adapter consists of a board set and a one 8-line or two 8- line octopus cable (two, four, six up to 12-foot length). The Serial Adapter uses a single PCI slot of the host. Its software driver supports Solaris 8™, Solaris X86™, Window 98 - 2000, and Linux.
