2.2 Front Panel I/O Functions

In Vecow's VCOM-BASE series family, all I/O connectors are located on the front

panel. Most of the general connections to the computer device, such as audio,

USB, RJ45,DVI-D, Display Port, SIM Card, Serial Port and VGA are placed on the

front panel

2.2.1 Audio Connector

There are three audio connectors, line-in line-out and mic-in , on the front side of

VCOM-BASE. Onboard Realtek ALC888S audio codec supports 7.1 channel HD audio

and fully complies with Intel® High Denition Audio (Azalia) specications.

To utilize the audio function on the Windows platform, you need to install corresponding

drivers for both Intel chipset and Realtek ALC888S-VD codec. Please refer to chapter

four for more details on driver installation.

2.2.2 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet Port

There is a 8-pin RJ-45 jacks supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connections

in the front side of VCOM-BASE. LAN is powered by Ethernet engine

Using suitable RJ-45 cable, you can connect VCOM-BASE Carrier Board to

any other devices with Ethernet connection, for example, a hub or a switch.

Moreover, LAN supports Wake on LAN and Pre-boot functions. The pinouts of

LAN is listed as follow :

Each LAN port is supported by standard RJ-45 connector with LED indicators to

present Active/Link/Speed status of the connection.

The LED indicator on the right bottom corner lightens solid green when the cable

is properly connected to a 100Mbps Ethernet network and solid orange when the

cable is properly connected to a 1000Mbps Ethernet network. The left LED will

keep blinking o when Ethernet data packets are being transmitted/received.

2.2.4 DVI-D

The DVI-D connector on the front panel supports DVI display. This connector

can either output DVI signal. The DVI output mode supports up to 1920 x 1200

resolution and output mode supports up to 1920 x 1200 resolution. The DVI is

automatically selected according to the display device connected. You will need

a DVI-D cable when connecting to a display device.

2.2.5 DISPLAY PORT

VCOM-BASE supports single Display Port and up to 4096 x 2304 pixels resolution.

2.2.6 VGA

VCOM-BASE supports single VGA and up to 1920 x 1200 pixels resolution.

2.2.7 Serial Port

Serial port 1 to 2 (COM 1 to 2) can be congured for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-

485 with auto ow control communication. The default denition of COM 1 and

COM 2 is RS-232. If you want to change to RS-422 or RS-485, you can nd the

setting in BIOS.
