Perle Systems Unveils World's First Software-Configurable Multi-Interface Multi-Port Serial PCI Cards.NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Software-Selectable EIA-232/422/485 Interfaces Provide a Single Card PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). Solution for Mixed Signal Applications Perle Systems Perle Systems is a Canadian company based in Markham, Ontario that develops and manufactures serial communications products. Product lines include terminal servers, device servers, serial console servers, serial cards, USB to serial adapters and remote access products. , an established leader in the device networking Using an Ethernet LAN to interconnect sensors, instruments, machine tools, medical monitors, restaurant appliances, POS terminals and other devices. In the mid-1990s, Comtrol Corporation created the first "device server," which converts serial transmission to Ethernet, enabling market, today released new 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 port versions of its innovative new UltraPort SI universal 3.3v/5v PCI Serial Cards. With the UltraPort SI, Perle is the first vendor to incorporate EIA-232, EIA-422 and EIA-485 interfaces on a single PCI serial card and provide the ability to individually configure each interface type using software commands. The UltraPort SI takes into account that today's low Today's Low The intra-day low trading price. Notes: In other words, this is the lowest price that a stock traded at during the course of the day. More often than not this is lower than the closing price. See also: Today's High profile PCs and servers have limited PCI slots and organizations may have requirements for different serial ports to accommodate a variety of serial devices. By combining RS232, RS422 and RS485 ports on one card, the UltraPort SI requires only a single PCI slot. It also minimizes the need to install multiple drivers and takes less time to configure. The UltraPort SI makes multi-server rollouts more practical since the hardware set up can be identical for each site, and software is used to configure each port as needed as needed prn. See prn order. for each location. This means that organizations can fully standardize on systems being deployed at central and remote locations, making server replacement easy during servicing and the addition of new serial devices straightforward. "System Integrators and VARs can now standardize on the hardware systems sold into mixed signal environments," said Al Davies, Director of Product Marketing at Perle Systems. "With the UltraPort SI, a standard unit can be shipped across a customer's multiple sites, regardless of specific serial devices deployed at each location. This minimizes last minute hardware configurations and speeds the selling process for our channel partners. It also reduces the cost of deployment and total cost of ownership for end users." Designed to meet the highly electromagnetic and electrostatic Stationary electrical charges in which no current flows. For example, laser printers and copier machines place a positive charge of the image on a drum, and negatively charged toner is attracted onto the drum. The toner is then transferred to positively charged paper and fused to the paper by heat. environments found on factory floors and in carpeted environments in many retail stores and office locations, the UltraPort SI features industry leading protection from electrostatic discharges of up to 25K volts, providing safe and reliable server operation. The UltraPort SI delivers maximum performance to a serial environment by supporting communication speeds of 921.6 Kbps on EIA-232 and up to 3.6 Mbps on EIA-422/485 connections. It is available in standard and low profile PCI card A circuit board that plugs into the computer's PCI bus and contains the control electronics for a peripheral device. Starting in the latter half of the 1990s, PCI became very popular. See PCI. form factors and will work with all current Unix, Linux and Windows operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. . The Perle range of UltraPort SI serial cards is backed by Perle's unique limited lifetime warranty and world-wide technical support team.
