Step 2: Adjust the AT/ATX switch. Step 0:
AFL-W10A-N270 User Manual
2.4.1 AT Power Mode
With the AT mode selected, the power is controlled by a central power unit rather than a
power switch. The AFL-W10A-N270 panel PC turns on automatically when the power is
connected. The AT mode benefits a production line to control multiple panel PCs from a
central management center and other applications including:
ATM
Self-service kiosk
Plant environment monitoring system
Factory automation platform
Manufacturing shop flow
2.4.2 ATX Power Mode
With the ATX mode selected, the AFL-W10A-N270 panel PC goes in a standby mode
when it is turned off. The panel PC can be easily turned on via network or a power switch
in standby mode. Remote power control is perfect for advertising applications since the
broadcasting time for each panel PC can be set individually and controlled remotely. Other
possible application includes
Security surveillance
Point-of-Sale (POS)
Advertising terminal

2.5 Jumper Settings
NOTE:
A jumper is a metal bridge used to close an
electrical circuit. It consists of two or three metal
pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a
plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect
them. To CLOSE/SHORT a jumper means
connecting the pins of the jumper with the plastic
clip and to OPEN a jumper means removing the
AFL-W10A-N270 User Manual
plastic clip from a jumper.
The following jumpers can be found on the motherboard installed in the AFL-W10A-N270.
Before the panel PC is installed, the jumpers must be set in accordance with the desired
configuration. The jumpers on the AFL-W10A-N270 motherboard are listed in
