Overview
The CP-168EL-A is a smart, 8-port PCI Express board designed for addition, each of the board’s 8 RS-232 serial ports supports a super
POS and ATM applications. It is a top choice of industrial automation fast 921.6 Kbps baudrate. The CP-168EL-A provides full modem
engineers and system integrators, and supports many different control signals to ensure compatibility with a wide range of serial
operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and even Unix. In peripherals, and its PCI Express “x1” classification allows it to be
installed in any PCI Express slot.
Smaller Form Factor
The CP-168EL-A is a low profile board that is compatible with any PCI means that the board fits any host computer, ranging from shoebox to
Express slot. The board requires only a 3.3 VDC power supply, which standard-sized PCs.
Drivers Provided for Windows, Linux, and Unix
Moxa continues to support a wide variety of operating systems, and Linux/Unix TTY drivers are provided for all Moxa boards, and other
the CP-168EL-A board is no exception. Reliable Windows COM and operating systems, such as WEPOS, are also supported for embedded
integration.
