Connect USB Peripheral Devices

The monitor is equipped with a USB hub that provides communication between
a computer and any USB compatible device, such as a keyboard, mouse, or
memory stick. The USB hub ports are enabled only when the monitor is powered
on and the connection is made between the type B connector and the computer.

Connect the Optional Touchscreen Interface

An optional touchscreen provides a high-resolution touch input system. The
driver software included with the monitor lets the touchscreen function with
many Microsoft Windows industrial applications such as a pointing device or
mouse.
A touchscreen interface to the computer can be configured using either the serial
RS-232 connection or USB connection.
Connect the Optional Serial RS-232 Touchscreen Interface
The RS-232 DB9 (female) D-shell connector on the bottom side of the monitor

touchscreen serial cable to the RS-232 port connector on the monitor.
