PCI Synchronous Serial Interface Adapter

The ACB-MP.LPCI meets the requirements for the MD1 “Low Profile” specification as defined by PCISIG in PCI 2.2 “Low Profile Addendum”. This allows the ACB-MP.LPCI to be used in a variety of systems, including low profile servers, network appliances, and desktop computers that do not have standard size PCI slots. Designed for compatibility with legacy and new computer systems, the ACB-MP.LPCI also features a Universal Bus (3.3 and 5.0V) as required by PCISIG specifications 2.3.

Software support, critical for successful synchronous communication implementation, is provided through Sealevel’s SeaMAC V4 driver. SeaMAC supports a variety of protocols under Windows 2000/XP including HDLC, SDLC, and various bisync, monosync, and raw (bit-shifter) modes. Clocking is selectable using the internal baud rate generator, an external source, or a clock-encoded data stream. Standard Win32 API functions are supported.

As an added value, customers also receive WinSSD, a full featured diagnostic application providing powerful testing and diagnostic capabilities. Use WinSSD for BERT (Bit Error Rate Testing), throughput monitoring, loopback tests, and transmit test pattern messages.

The ACB-MP.LPCI is priced at $409 and is available immediately from stock as part number 5102. All Sealevel manufactured I/O products are covered by a lifetime warranty.
