The RS-232serial port connects to an ASCII terminal, any computer with a serial port or an external device such as a touchpad. Commands are sent from the terminal or computer to the Quadra.

The Ethernet port (10/100BaseT) allows a Quadra system to be connected to a local area network (LAN) or directly to a PC that is properly equipped with a network card. Note that direct connection requires the use of an Ethernet hub or Ethernet cross-over cable.
