Advantech PCA-6185 2.6 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet CN8 and CN34, Serial Ports CN9 COM1 CN10 COM2

2.6 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet (CN8 and CN34)

CN8 and CN34

The PCA-6185 is equipped with one high-performance 64-bit PCI-bus Ethernet interface, which are fully compliant with IEEE 802.3/u 10/100/ 1000 Mbps CSMA/CD standards. They are supported by all major net- work operating systems. The RJ-45 jacks on the rear plate provide conve- nient 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 operation.

2.7 Serial Ports (CN9: COM1; CN10: COM2)

CN9 and CN10

The PCA-6185 offers two serial ports, CN9 as COM1 and CN10 as COM2. These ports can connect to serial devices, such as a mouse or a printer, or to a communications network.

Table 2.1: Serial port connections (COM1, COM2)

Connector	Ports	Address	Interrupt
CN9	COM1	3F8*3E8	IRQ4
CN10	COM2	2F8*2E8	IRQ3

* default settings

The IRQ and address ranges for both ports are fixed. However, if you want to disable the port or change these parameters later, you can do this in the system BIOS setup.

Different devices implement the RS-232 standard in different ways. If you are having problems with a serial device, be sure to check the pin assignments for the connector.
