A144 Synchronous Quad Serial Card

Now newly redesigned for improved efficiency, the Sangoma A144 Data Card replaces the Sangoma S5142 card. Ideal for synchronous serial applications.

Whether you use the card to simplify routing and increase security using Sangoma's WANPIPE® software; you need support for an X.25SNA connection, or a broadcast satellite feed; or you have another unique application-Sangoma's Serial Synchronous products communicate mission-critical radar control and surveillance data, essential to modern air and sea communications. link, a datascope, an

This updated card boasts field upgradeable firmware, a choice of PCI or PCI Express interface, and four primary ports that have equal baud rates without the complexity of signalling jumpers.

The A144 Synchronous Quad Serial hardware is based on the same advanced engineering design as the award-winning AFT Product Line.

Trust the Sangoma® name to deliver optimum data support on standard telecommunications networks.

Datascope Features
  • All modem control lines are monitored.
  • Either monitoring only or simulation (transmit and receive).
  • Monitoring or simulation of ATM or HDLC at line speeds above 8 Mbps, BSC at line speeds to 128 kbps.
  • Supports Asynch to 256 kbps, and raw unformatted bit streams to 8 Mbps.
  • Time stamps with a resolution of 100 microseconds or better to allow accurate sequencing of events. Each character can be individually time stamped.
Serial Interfaces
  • V.35, RS422 or EIA530, or RS232 supported on all four primary ports.
  • Clocking: Internally generated or external at line speeds to 8 Mbps.
  • NRZ, NRZi, FM0, FM1, Manchester encoding.
  • All ports are RS485 - capable of supporting multipoint lines.
