Cyclom-Y Series Multiport Serial
Boards
|
| The Cyclom-Y is the ideal Multiport Serial Card for applications where high
performance and cost-effectiveness are basic requirements. Modems, terminals,
printers, scanners, sensors, point-of-sale terminals are examples of serial
devices that can be connected to the Cyclom-Y serial ports. The Cyclom-Y uses a highly
integrated hardware technology and its architecture is modular and flexible.
The choices range from entry-level 4-port models to models expandable to 32
ports per slot. Both PCI and ISA models are available.
A wide variety of
Operating Systems are supported including Windows 95, 98, 2000, NT, Linux and
several flavors of UNIX. The device drivers have been developed in close
integration with hardware and operating systems and have been optimized and
improved for years.
The embedded
high-performance RISC processors are specifically designed for data
communication, making the Cyclom-Y a truly intelligent asynchronous multiport
interface. With internal FIFOs and a very efficient hardware interface, the
Cyclom-Y provides a superior performance at a cost competitive with
non-intelligent serial solutions.

Cyclom-Y
Models and Applications
|
The
Cyclom-Y can be
used in PC servers to provide serial connectivity to Remote Access Servers and
Multiuser Systems. It has been also used to implement customized point-of-sale,
process control, testing and automation systems. There are several Cyclom-Y
models available to satisfy a wide variety of applications and
requirements.
All
Cyclom-Y models are software compatible and can be mixed and matched up
to four host cards per system. Each card requires one IRQ and a small window in
memory space (8kb in ISA and 16kb in PCI). The PCI version can be installed
anywhere in the 32-bit addressing space, eliminating the potential for hardware
conflicts.

Cyclom-4Yo and 4YoP
This ISA
or PCI 4-port, low-cost model uses a 4-port cable, DB-9 cable and provides full
modem handshaking. It is the ideal solution for high performance applications
where expandability is not a requirement. Applications include small BBSs and
home automation.

Cyclom-8Ys and 8YsP
This ISA or PCI 8-port,
low-cost, compact, entry-level model uses RJ-12 connectors integrated on the
board. It is recommended for applications where complete HW flow control is not
needed (the RTS signal is not supported). A typical application involves
multiuser systems connected to local serial devices.

Cyclom-Ye and YeP
The
Cyclom-Ye (ISA) and Cyclom-YeP (PCI) are expandable host cards to be installed
inside the PC server. They connect to external Serial Modules to provide up to
32 RS-232 serial ports. The Serial Modules are available in 8- and 16-port
versions with DB-25 or RJ-45 connectors and can be combined according to your
needs. This is the best choice for ISPs and large multiuser systems that
require a large number of serial ports with high data throughput.
