1.1 Overview
Figure 1-1: AFL2-W15A-N270
AFL2-W15A-N270 Panel PC
The Afolux panel PCs are all-in-one panel PCs with all the elements of a desktop
computer contained in a single, slim package, no bigger than a thick monitor. The Afolux
panel PCs can be mounted on a desktop monitor stand and save a huge amount of
desktop space by including all the computer components behind the screen. All models
include a touch screen interface.
The Afolux is a self-contained system, with all parts, excluding the power supply,
contained inside the casing allowing a completely interactive panel PC with only a single
power cable. External devices are connected wirelessly through an 802.11b/g/n wireless
adapter. Wired options are always available on the rear panel, with two serial ports and
USB ports for peripherals and a Gigabit Ethernet jack for networking.
The Afolux includes both audio and visual multimedia capabilities. All models have a VGA
output for connecting another monitor to the system, and audio outputs for external audio.
There is also a built-in 2-megapixel webcam and microphone.
