4 or 16 Port DMA Sp - SBus DMA Serial Adapters

MAGMA

MAGMA 4 or 16 Port DMA Sp - SBus DMA Serial Multiplexors: MAGMA's SBusDMA serial adapters are high speed Direct Memory Access (DMA) Sun SBusexpansion boards featuring four or sixteen serial ports with full modemcontrol. The on-board RISC processors move the data to/from the hostmemory without host CPU intervention. Each board supports baud rates ofup to 256Kbps full-duplex per channel. These boards are designed tointerface to V.34 modems or ISDN terminal adapters. Serial PortHardware: MAGMA's SBus DMA serial adapters are single width SBusboards. The boards use Cirrus Logics CD2400 RISC I/O processors capableof controlling each serial line with a minimum number of CPU interrupts.The RISC processors move the data to be transmitted from host memory andreceived data to host memory using DMA. Parity checking and flowcontrol are handled automatically without CPU intervention. The boardsare designed to minimize host CPU usage when running at full speed.Several MAGMA SBus DMA serial adapters can be installed in a system. Thedriver is optimized to reduce CPU utilization and treats all of theboards in the system as a single device. Multiple service requests can behandled in a single pass through the driver. Software: The MAGMA SBusDMA serial adapter device driver is written to maximize performance ofthe serial ports. Drivers are available for Solaris(R) 2.x or SunOS(TM)4.1+ and support all features and are automatically installed with aneasy to use program. Part Number: Following are MAGMA's SBus DMAserial adapter part numbers: 4 DMA Sp and 16 DMA Sp. Features: Numberof ports = 4 or 16 Asynchronous serial channels Maximum 4 Port Speed =256Kbps on one channel and up to 128Kbps on all four channelssimultaneously Maximum 16 Port Speed = 256Kbps on four channels and upto 128Kbps on all sixteen channels simultaneously Supported Speeds =110bps through 256Kbps Physical Connections = RJ-45 ElectronicInterface = RS-232 Flow control logic = Fully automatic using XON/XOFFor RTS/CTS Data word size = Any size from 5 to 8 bits Number of stopbits = Either one or two Modem control signals = RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR andCD Web site: http://www.magma.com
