Parallel interface
Diagram reference: P
You can connect a printer or a device such as a scanner to this
25-pin parallel interface.
The parallel interface supports Standard EPP (Enhanced Parallel
Port) and ECP (Extended Capabilities Port).
Serial COM port
Diagram reference: S
The optional 9-pin serial interface is used as the port for serial
devices such as modems, card readers or mice. The interfaces are
addressed as COM1 or COM2 and are FIFO 16550-compatible. To
use these ports it is necessary, as standard, to have a so-called
null-modem cable which is usually supplied with the device to
be connected.
Modem
Diagram reference: Z
(optional feature)
This chapter is intended for systems equipped with a modem or
ISDN jack.
The built-in modem is able to receive data according to the ITU
standard for V.90 transmissions with up 56 Kbit/s.
Since the power output of modems is restricted due to the regula-
tions of some telecommunication providers, the possible maxi-
mum download speed can be restricted. The actual speed may be
dependent on the online conditions and other factors.
Data sent from the user to the server are transmitted with 31.2
Kbit/s. Prerequisite for this high speed reception is an analogue
telephone line compatible with the V.90 standard and a corre-
sponding compatible Internet provider or company-owned host
computer.
