Figure 1-6: The Front Panel Modular Connectors
10/100 Ethernet
The Eclipse system board includes a PCI based 10/100 Ethernet controller with a
10BaseT connector on the front connector panel. The Eclipse is not provided with
a Category 5 patch cable, it must be purchased separately.
COM 5 (Spare)
8-Pin modular connector is configured as COM5 - Spare COM Port.
COM 2 (Reserved For Touchscreen)
COM2 is dedicated to the Eclipse Touchscreen interface which resides in the
LCD/Touchscreen Head. Note the block preventing the use of COM2 as shown in
Figure 1-6.
COM 4 (LCC/IDN Port)
This port supports MICROS IDN printing devices. The default setting for this
COM port matches the configuration required to support IDN printing from
application software such as 3700. Like previous LCC/IDN ports, it has RS422
and RS232 capability. See Appendix B for connector and cabling information.
COM 6 (Spare)
8-Pin Modular connector configured as COM6 - Spare COM Port. However, by
default, COM6 is disabled in CMOS Setup in order to free up IRQ5 for use by the
on-board sound chip.
