2.4.7 Parallel port
The panel PC supports the latest EPP and ECP parallel port protocols for
improved performance and versatility with compatible printers or other
devices.
To connect the panel PC to a printer or other devices:
1. Be sure both the panel PC and the printer/devices are turned off.
2. Connect the 25-pin male connector of the printer cable to the 25-pin
female port on the panel PC labelled "parallel port".
3. If necessary, attach the other end of your printer cable to your printer, and
fasten any retaining screws.
4. Turn on the printer and any other peripheral devices you may have
connected to the panel PC, and then turn on the panel PC.
5. If necessary, run the panel PC's BIOS setup program to configure the
parallel port to respond as required by your printer and software operating
environment.
2.4.8 Ethernet
The PPC-A84 is equipped with a high performance 32-bit Ethernet chipset
which is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3 100 Mbps CSMA/CD stan-
dards. It is supported by major network operating systems. It is also both
100Base-T and 10Base-T compatible. The medium type can be configured
via the RSET8139.EXE program included on the utility disk.
The Ethernet port provides a standard RJ-45 jack. The network boot feature
can be utilized by incorporating the boot ROM image files for the appropri-
ate network operating system. The boot ROM BIOS files are combined with
system BIOS, which can be enabled/disabled in the BIOS setup.
