Plug & Play and minimal maintenance As many USB devices, the UPort series are automatically detected and installed in the host PC. Should the host PC crash or the UPort to be replaced, the external connectivity is faster and problem free that multiport serial boards. In addition, the COM Preserver™ (patent pending) allow to store the serial ports configuration in the UPort and restore it to another PC in a few seconds, saving installation time and the same software configuration.
USB 2.0 performance UPort USB-to-serial hubs are the world's first to support Hi-Speed USB 2.0 operation at 480 Mbps. With USB 2.0 performance, PCs will not encounter bottlenecks even with many serial devices connected. By comparison, other USB solutions support only USB 1.1 operation, which maxes out at 12 Mbps.
Top serial throughput The UPort is built around the U860 UART and the Moxa ART CPU, using Moxa's 20 years of experience in serial board design. This allows each UPort to provide high-performance serial throughput, even with multiple serial ports.
Rugged design UPort products are designed for industrial use and have a tough metal casing. With 15 KV ESD protection and 2 KV optical isolation, reliable performance is ensured even in harsh environments.
Easy to use, like the Wii Like the Nintendo Wii, the UPort is easy to install and provides performance that is superior to other similar products. In addition, both the Wii and the UPort are solid, well-designed products that provide developers with exciting new possibilities.
Moxa will award a Nintendo Wii, an Apple iPod video, and other assorted prizes for descriptions of USB-to-serial applications. Submissions will be accepted from September 1, 2007 to October 31, 2007. Additional details are provided on the Moxa website at http://www.moxa.com/...
