Introduction

4-port and 8-port Adapters (PBXDA-BA and -BB) The PBXDA-BA and -BB are based on Digi International's AccelePort Xr 920 PCI EIA-232 family:
http://www.digi.com/pdf/prd_msc_acceleportxr.pdf
These cards were designed for use in multi-user (retail point-of-sale, industrial control processing, data collection, and office automation) and Remote Access Service (RAS) applications.
The AccelePort Xr 920 Family includes both four- and eight-port models, all with wide application flexibility and scalability, and Universal PCI bus signaling (3.3V-5V), and EIA-232 DB-25 DTE-Male ports.
An on-board 32-bit IDT RISC processor delivers high performance with speeds up to 921.6 Kbps. CPU utilization is optimized by efficiently handling serial I/O communication interrupts, character processing and data transfers. Hardware/software flow control ensures the absolute data integrity required for your most active remote access applications and "mission-critical" multi-user environments. The AccelePort Xr 920 Family is compatible with V.34 and V.90 external modems.

16-port Adapter (PBXDA-AC) The PBXDA-AC is based on Digi International's AccelePort Xem asynchronous concentrator family.
http://www.digi.com/pdf/prd_msc_acceleportxem.pdf
The AccelePort Xem is an intelligent serial communication solution designed specifically for small to mid-size multiuser installations.
The PBXDA-AC lets users connect up to 16 high-speed EIA-232 serial ports to a PCI-based system. The result is a fast, reliable way to connect terminals, printers, modems, instruments and other serial peripherals, making it ideally suited to applications such as data acquisition, office/factory automation, and industrial process control.
These systems feature a host adapter card with an on-board RISC-based processor that delivers up to 115.2 Kbps line rates. The AccelePort Xem system also includes a compact, tabletop, Digi PORTS Module that provides access to 16 RJ45 (10-pin) serial ports.

Ease of Use
PCI Plug and Play The PBXDA-xx family is compatible with the 2.2 PCI specification and automatically configures their I/O address and interrupts (IRQ) settings for easy installation.
