Connector Description

Power Connector

Connect the "terminal block to power jack converter" (in the
package) to the UC-8100's DC terminal block (located on the top
panel), and then connect the power adapter. It takes about 30
seconds for the system to boot up. Once the system is ready, the
Ready LED will light up.

Grounding the UC-8100

Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI).
SG: The Shielded Ground (sometimes
called Protected Ground) contact is
the top contact of the 3-pin power
terminal block connector when
viewed from the angle shown here.
Connect the SG wire to an
appropriate grounded metal surface.

Ethernet Ports

The two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports (LAN 1 and LAN 2) use RJ45
connectors.

2 ETx-
3 ERx+
6 ERx-

Serial Ports

The two serial ports (P1 and P2) use terminal connectors. Each
port can be configured by software for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485.
The pin assignments for the ports are shown in the following table:
Pin RS-232 RS-422 RS-485

SD/SIM Card Sockets

The UC-8100 comes with an SD socket for storage expansion, and
a SIM card socket for cellular communication. The SD card/SIM
card sockets are located at the lower part on the front panel. To
install them, remove the screw and the protection cover to access
the sockets, and then plug the SD card or the SIM card into the
sockets directly. You will hear "click" when finished. Remember to
push in on the SD card or SIM card first if you want to remove
them.
ATTENTION
By default, the operating system is stored on the SD card.
Do not remove the SD card while the computer is still
running.
