Connect the external device to the system. 2. The USB ports support hot plug- in connections. Install the device driver before using the device. 3.4 Using the LAN Port This unit comes with an internal 10Base -T/100/1000Base -TX LAN module that connects your panel PC to other computers/networks through a local area network (LAN) and supports data transfer rates at 10Mbps and can be up to 100Mbps. The 10Base-T standard also called Twisted Pair Ethernet is conne cted with RJ-45 connectors. The 100Base-TX is based on the older Ethernet standard. Because it is 10 times faster than Ethernet, it is often referred to as Fast Ethernet. The built -in LAN module provides a standard RJ -45 connector. To connect the twisted-pair cable to your LAN port: 1. Connect one end of the cable into the network wall outlet or HUB. 2. Connect the other end of the cable into the Panel PC RJ -45 LAN port. 12

3.5. Touchscreen
AcuPanel12 is designed using Color Active Matrix LCD technology with a high quality touch sensitive surface. The touch screen is a display
that can detect the presence and location of a touch within the display area by a finger, hand or other passive objects, such as a stylus. It
enables one to interact with what is di splayed directly on the screen, rather than indirectly with a mouse.
With its adjustable, yet rigid backbone, the touch screen responds to fingertip input in place of a mouse and is highly resistant to solvents and
chemicals found in industrial environments. It lets one do so without requiring any intermediate device, The display is sealed along the panel
surface to prevent liquids from dripping into the unit under normal use.
