CI-104J Smart Serial Board
Quick Installation Guide
Third Edition, June 2008
1. Overview
The CI-104J Series of 4-port RS-232 ISA serial boards are ideal for
connecting a wide range of serial devices—including terminals,
modems, printers, scanners, cash registers, bar code readers, keypads,
numeric displays, electronic scales, and data acquisition equipment—to
a PC. The board’s well-designed device drivers make full use of the
16-byte Tx/Rx FIFO and on-chip H/W and S/W flow control, which
allow data transmission at speeds of up to 921.6 Kbps.
