Installing the terminal
RS-422 communication
For RS-422 communications, make a cable using the pin-out in Table B. For
maximum cable length, refer to the EIA RS-422 Specification Standard.
RS-485 communication
For RS-485 communication, make a cable using the pin-out in Table C. For
maximum cable length, refer to the EIA RS-485 Specification Standard.
Connecting a keyboard (optional)
The terminal provides all the functionality you need to use your touch screen
without an input device such as a keyboard.
However, if you want to use a keyboard with the terminal, you can connect a 101-
key Enhanced PC/AT compatible keyboard to the female DIN plug inside the rear
hatch. Use a standard cable, or construct a cable matching the pin-out in Table D.
