2.7 Ethernet Connector (CN8 and CN34)
The PCA-6187 is equipped with single/dual high-performance 32-bit
PCI-bus Ethernet interface, which is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3/u
10/100Mbps CSMA/CD and IEEE 802.3ab 1000Base-T standards. It is
supported by all major network operating systems and is 100% Novell
NE-2000 compatible. An onboard RJ-45 jack provides convenient 10/
100Base-T or 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 operation.
2.8 Serial Ports (COM1 : CN9; COM2 : CN10 )
The PCA-6187 offers two serial ports, CN9 as COM1 and CN10 as
COM2. These ports can connect to serial devices, such as a mouse or a
printer, or to a communications network.
The IRQ and address ranges for both ports are fixed. However, if you
want to disable the port or change these parameters later, you can do this
in the system BIOS setup.
Different devices implement the RS-232 standard in different ways. If
you are having problems with a serial device, be sure to check the pin
assignments for the connector.
