Flashlite 386Ex controller users requiring local area network connectivity or additional peripherals can utilize the Ethernet/Serial/Parallel expansion board. The board combines a highly integrated, full function, IEEE 802.3 Ethernet controller with 16C550 high speed UARTs (with FIFO) and bi-directional parallel port. The Ethernet port is a 16 bit design that supports a direct connection to 10BASE-T networks, jumperless configuration and internal receive and transmit frame buffers to reduce CPU overhead and maximize throughput. The 2 PC compatible serial ports and the parallel port provide additional I/O necessary for many demanding applications. These features quickly make the Flashlite 386Ex a cost-effective solution for applications such as networking, embedded web and serial protocol conversions.

Ethernet/Serial/Parallel(99-0019)upgrade kit for Flashlite 386Ex packages the Ethernet/Serial/Parallel peripheral board, interface cables, standoff kit, users manual and schematic to easily convert the unit into the FlashTCP.

The board is also available without the Ethernet port for users needing to add serial or parallel ports to a Flashlite 386Ex. See the Serial/Parallel page.
