Introduction
 

The C168H Series of multiport serial boards is designed for people looking for an easy-to-use 8-port serial board. Plug the C168H Series board into the appropriate ISA slot, and all configuration tasks will be done automatically, eliminating the need to adjust I/O addresses and IRQ hardware switches and jumpers.

In addition, users can configure each port of the C168H board to any IRQ, and any address, eliminating the problem of resource conflicts. To improve reliability, surge protection (25 KV) and optical isolation (500V) are available as options on this multiport serial board.

The C168H Series allows you to install additional RS-232 serial communication ports on your PC by providing 8 serial ports per board for connecting all types of serial devices, including terminals, modems, printers, data acquistion equipment, and more. And C168H's versatile OS driver support truly fulfills the needs of our customers' varied applications. The C168H Series offers a reliable and high performance solution for serial multiport communications.
