The Recovery button, AUX and RS-232 port are not described in this Quick Installation
Guide. The AUX port is used in conjunction with a device that can control the power of the host
system. The RS-232 port is used to configure the K1. As of the release of this document, no AUX
devices have been designed. The AUX Port is for future expandability and is an example of AMI's
forward thinking.
