Chapter 1: Introduction and General Information
The B&B Electronics’ 3PXCC4A series serial interface cards are
designed for the IBM PC, XT, AT and compatibles. Ports are
configured as a standard DTE device, and connections are made on
RJ45 style connectors.
The 3PXCC4A cards offer exceptional setup flexibility. The
3PXCC4A series has the ability to use any I/O address and any
hardware interrupt. You can install as many serial ports as will
physically fit in a machine. To use one of the “non-standard”
addresses or interrupts, the serial software used must also offer that
flexibility. If you are writing your own application, be sure the
communications routines used support any address and IRQ. B&B
Electronics’ SimpCom Communications Drivers support these
features.
Features
Each port independently configurable for any hex address 0 to hex
3F8 including COM1 – COM4
Each port independently configurable for any interrupt: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
7, 10, 11, 12, 14, and 15
