Overview - FarSync OEM T4E PCI / PCI -X card

The FarSync OEM T4E 4 port WAN card and software is designed to provide high performance hardware communications solutions for companies who wish to quickly develop their own communications products without incurring the cost of having to develop and approve hardware.

The T4E is a Universal PCI communications card (PCI and PCI-X compatible) with four independently configurable sync/async serial ports. Sync operation supports both bitsync (HDLC) and transparent bitstream of up to 10 Mbits/s per port with a total card bandwidth of 60 Mbits/s.

The unique feature of the T4E is the huge variety of clocking options. The clock can be:

Internally generated using a local clock generator
External from the WAN communications line
External via a special H.100 clock bus connector
Sourced on one port then routed to the others
Multiplied or divided per port to obtain the required rate
Independently configurable for each line

The product supports the standard Windows SDCI API, providing applications with direct access to the card's communications port/s for asynchronous, bit synchronous (HDLC) framing, and also transparent bitstream operation for video and voice type applications. The special clocking features are all accessible though the SDCI interface.

Support is included for the Linux Raw Sockets API that allows HDLC frames and transparent bitstream data to be sent and received. It also allows selection of the full range of clock modes. Full documentation, source code for the Linux driver and a sample application demonstrating both modes of operation is provided.
