2-Port Asynchronous EIA-232 PCI Adapter (FC 5723; CCIN 5723)

Overview

The feature code (FC) 5723 is a 2-port EIA-232 asynchronous serial communications PCI adapter that can be installed in the PCI slots. The adapter is based on the PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.2 compliant. The adapter is installed in a single slot and is less than a half-size PCI adapter card.

This adapter provides connection for two asynchronous EIA-232 devices. Ports are programmable to support asynchronous protocols over an EIA-232 interface at line speeds up to 128 Kbps. The two port adapter provides RJ45 Ethernet ports connected using DB-9 connectors.
