Introduction

The CP-118EL is a smart, 8-port PCI Express board designed for POS and ATM applications. It is a top choice of industrial automation engineers and system integrators, and supports many different operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and even Unix. In addition, each of the board's 8 serial ports can be configured independently for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 (either 2-wire or 4-wire), and the ports supports a super fast 921.6 Kbps baudrate. The CP-118EL provides full modem control signals to ensure compatibility with a wide range of serial peripherals, and its PCI Express "x1" classification allows it to be installed in any PCI Express slot. The CP-118EL is a low profile board that is compatible with any PCI Express slot. The board requires only a 3.3 VDC power supply, which means that the board fits any host computer, ranging from shoebox to standard-sized PCs. Moxa continues to support a wide variety of operating systems, and the CP-118EL board is no exception. Reliable Windows COM and Linux/Unix TTY drivers are provided for all Moxa boards, and other operating systems, such as WEPOS, are also supported for embedded integration.
