Overview
Most device connections are made via the ports on the rear panel of the TPI-PRO (FIG. 6).
For detailed descriptions of the rear panel connectors, refer to the Connector Details and Pinout
Configurations section on page 17.
The only connectors on the front panel are two USB (Type A) ports, which allow the TPI-PRO to
connect an input device like a USB touch monitor, mouse, or keyboard, and a RS-232 SERIAL
(Configuration) port (
