Computone Introduces the Power RackPort, The World's Fastest Multi-Port Serial I O Solution - 921.6 Kbps!LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 18, 1996--Computone Corporation (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :CMPT CMPT Computer Science (course) CMPT Compartment CMPT Compute CMPT Centre for Marine and Petroleum Technology (UK) CMPT Certified Manual Physical Therapist ) announced today the NEW Power RackPort, the world's fastest high-speed multiport serial I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output solution, with the convenience of a rack mount or table top enclosure. The new Power RackPort is an expandable I/O-mapped multi-port solution for PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). , ISA (1) (Instruction Set Architecture) See instruction set. (2) (Interactive Services Association) See Internet Alliance. (3) (Internet Security and Acceleration) See .NET. , EISA (Extended ISA) Pronounced "ee-suh." A PC bus standard that extends the 16-bit ISA bus (AT bus) to 32 bits and provides bus mastering. ISA cards can plug into an EISA slot. , and MC-bus computer systems. The Power RackPort product line is a desktop or rack mount multiport subsystem that combines modular expandability with efficient data buffering and baud rates up to 921.6 Kbps per port, which is the fastest on the market today. Other multi-port products only support up to 115.2 Kbps. "We have confidence the new Power RackPort will exceed the expectations of our customers and will expand our large following with corporate connectivity administrators. The high-speed performance of the Power RackPort is virtually unmatched in the remote access industry," said Erik Myrmo, Vice President of Engineering. Building a custom subsystem is easy! The RackPort comes with 16 channels on one installed REX-16RJ-232 card. Select one, two, or three additional REX-16RJ-232 multiport slide-in cards to configure up to 64 serial ports. Then attach the chassis to the PCI, ISA, EISA, or Micro Channel adapter. Up to 64 devices can be connected through a single host expansion slot! The Power RackPort combines the high-speed burst transfer rates of the PCI/EISA/ISA/MC bus with a 20MHz CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. and 512K RAM for maximum throughput. The adapters (like IntelliPort II Expandable host adapters) are manufactured using state-of-the-art surface mount technology and high-density ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. chips. Each 16-port REX-16RJ-232 is equipped with high-speed 16C654 quad UARTs and surge/spike protection on all data and modem control signals. Power RackPort products are backed by a 2-Year Hardware Warranty, unlimited technical support, plus a 24-hour BBS. Driver features include IntelliView, a multi-session manager; IntelliPrint, a transparent print manager; Remote Diagnostics Software; and menu-driven installation. Operating system device drivers are included. Established in 1984, Computone offers the world's most extensive line of Ethernet, remote access/Internet communications servers, multi-port solutions for PCI, ISA, EISA, and MicroChannel computer systems; and UNIX-to-SNA/X.25 connectivity solutions. Computone was awarded Arthur Andersen's prestigious "Fast Tech 50" award for the fourth consecutive year. Computone is located at 1100 Northmeadow Pkwy, Roswell, GA 30076.
