PCI-1232U

PCI-1232U is a general-purpose communication card, intended for PCI (3.3V or 5V) or PCI-X bus. The card provides two isolated RS-232 ports.

The PCI-1232U card is based on the Oxford Semiconductor controller OXmPCI954 that provides PCI bus interface, four efficient UARTs (16C950 standard) and parallel interface in one circuit.

Both ports at the PCI-1232U card lead to the D-Sub 9 connectors located on the card mounting bracket. The ports provide full modem control signals and standard pin layout.

Ports provide the optical isolation. Optional surge arresters (ESD-X2) can be added to protect isolation barrier against breakdown caused by induced overvoltage.
For more information see safety guidelines for preventing overvoltage damage.

Useful feature are LED indicators on the card mounting bracket (a pair for every port) providing a comfortable check of the line activity.
