External devices on your network may be connected to the system through the external ethernet port located on the rear side of the system unit.

1.Be sure the panel PC is turned off.

2.Connect the external device(s) to the panel PC. (See Fig. 3-4.)

3.Turn on the panel PC and the external device(s).

4.Under DOS, run the RSET8139 program to check the hardware network status before installing the Ethernet driver.

5.Run the Ethernet driver to connect up to the network.

3.14Adjusting the LCD Contrast and Brightness

The contrast control knob does not function because the PPC-150 includes the TFT LCD display. Only panel PCs with DSTN LCD displays have this function.

The brightness control knob allows you to adjust the brightness of the LCD display panel.
