PCIe 2-port Async EIA-232 Adapter (FC 5289; CCIN 57D4)

Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) 5289 adapter.

Overview

The PCIe 2-port Async EIA-232 Adapter is a 2-port EIA-232 asynchronous serial communications PCI Express (PCIe) adapter that can be installed in the PCIe slots. The adapter is full-height and is based on the PCIe 1.1 host bus interface. The parallel port function is not implemented on this adapter.

Each of the two Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) channels contain 128 byte receiver-transmitter, first-in first-out (FIFO), full modem-control signaling, and standard host interrupts. If either of the two UART interrupts is active, the host can be interrupted through a single PCI interrupt. The two-port adapter provides RJ45 Ethernet ports, which are connected by DB-9 connectors.
