The Intelligent Communications Adapter (ICA)

The Emulex DCP-486p compatible Intelligent Communications Adapter is a fully integrated communications co-processor, including on-board CPU, memory, and I/O circuitry. The Intelligent Communications Adapter card offloads its host of the processing required to establish and maintain serial communication links thereby preserving PC/Server CPU utilization.

· High Performance, fully integrated, Intelligent Communications Adapter card
· Now supports 64-bit PCI v2.2 at 66Mhz (while maintaining 32-bit/33Mhz backward   compatibility)
· Sunhillo owns the exclusive design rights to the Emulex DCP-486p Card
· Commercial off-the-shelf product utilizing non-proprietary PCI bus technology
· Utilizes 3.3v and 5v universal PCI connector


The Intelligent Communication Adapter enhances the networking capabilities of its host system and eliminates the need for external connectivity devices such as dedicated bridges, gateways and routers. It is an ideal platform for supporting custom PC/Server-based communications applications.

Selectable Serial Interfaces

All 8 ports of the Intelligent Communication Adapter card are individually configurable. This feature provides users with the flexibility to individually configure each port to the desired physical/electrical interface (i.e. RS232 /V.24/V.28, X.21, V.35) via Sunhillo supplied adapter cables. The ICA achieves this level of flexibility and simplicity without sacrificing performance, hardware/software compatibility, or requiring additional I/O modules.
