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 con-
nected 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/A120 is equipped with a high performance 32-bit
Ethernet chipset which is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3 100 Mbps
CSMA/CD standards. 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 appropriate network operating system. The boot ROM BIOS files
are combined with system BIOS, which can be enabled/disabled in the
BIOS setup.
