tactile pushbutton switch. This switch controls the power on/off of the system.
This switch turns the system on when pushed only when external power is
present. This switch turns the system off when pushed again during power on
status. However, if the system hangs due to any reason such as software
resource conflict a simple push on the switch may fail to turn off the power. In
this case, please utilize the forced power off feature by pressing the switch
and holding for within 10 seconds. In case the turmoil is so vigorous that some
hardware registers may be confused causing trouble for system restart or even
this forced power off, please disconnect the UPS battery if installed and the
AC power supply for few minutes. This may reset all hardware registers.

This switch can also be programmed as an ON only switch. That
means, if the application program issues a command compliant with the KS
series technical manual, this switch will always turn the system on when
activated, but will not power off the system when pushed again (the forced
power off feature will not work in this mode). When using this feature, please
make sure that the software application has the ability to power off the
machine. In preloaded Windows, “Posiflex Power Switch Manager” in
“Posiflex Tools” in the Program Files helps managing these functions.

Software Support Features

The KS series provides a software power off command for application
program maneuvers. The KS also provides a specific means for the software to
detect if the system is working on external or UPS battery power. Due to this
feature, compatible software applications have the ability to change operating
conditions when running on standard/backup power. The software programmer
may take reference from the KS technical manual to apply such features.

Automatic Power On Control

The system may also turn on according to some preset conditions
such as Modem Ring Up and Alarm Clock Wake Up or LAN Wake Up.

To utilize Modem Ring Up or Alarm Clock Wake Up function, the
user should enter the BIOS setup by pressing “Del” key at system boot up,
choose in “Power Management Setup” and make the “Power On by Ring”
enabled for Modem Ring Up or enable the “Resume by Alarm” for Alarm
Clock Wake Up. Save the configuration and exit the BIOS setup program. The
Preset Power On Control will then be ready. For LAN wakeup, the item “PCI
Express PM Function” must be enabled in “Power Management Setup” and an
operating caller system connected through LAN to the system is required. It
also requires a qualified networking technician to check the LAN chip ID of
the system for the caller system to wake up.

Part 17

When the KS system is turned off after a successful boot up, the
preset automatic power on functions will keep monitoring for the preset
conditions and turn on the system when the preset conditions are met.

Please note that if the KS system is improperly turned off before a
complete boot up procedure, the above preset power on control functions will
be disabled until next turning off after a complete boot up.

BRIGHTNESS CONTROL

At left side of the main unit below the
power switch, there are brightness adjust push
button switches and two USB connectors. Each
single press on the + or – button changes the LCD
panel display brightness by a small amount. When
you press and hold the button the change will keep on until release or extreme
condition matched.

USB PORTS

There are in total 6 USB ports for external connection: 2 at left side
below power switch and LCD brightness adjust buttons; 4 in I/O area. All of
them comply to USB 2.0 standard.

SERIAL PORTS – COM1/2/3

In KS-6815 system, there are 2 serial ports in form of DB 9 pin male
connectors and 1 in form of 10 pin RJ45 type modular connector available.
Both DB 9serial ports can supply a +5 V DC through pin 9 after proper BIOS
setup. However, do not connect any other device to this port before the

power in this port is disabled.

When a serial Modem is to be used in KS system, it is most
recommended to use COM3 port with a conversion cable unless a special
internal setting has been made on COM3.

STORAGE DEVICES

The standard system storage device is a 2.5” SATA HDD in the main
unit. This device can be replaced with an option SSD or an option CF memory
card reader. There is also an option to have SATA HDD in the base and
another option to have also a RAID control. In the system I/O area between the
COM1 connector and the SATA port there are 2 LED’s
as marked in the right picture to indicate the operation
status of the HDD’s. When the RAID function is engaged,
the lower LED (marked HDD0) indicates the status of the primary HDD (the
one in main unit) and the upper LED (marked HDD1) indicates the secondary
HDD (the one in base). When there is no RAID function, the lower LED
(HDD0) indicates status of either HDD and the upper LED (HDD1) indicates
the status of optional CF card.

PARALLE L PO RT

In KS-6815 system, the parallel port can be available only through
use of the optional conversion cable. It should be connected to the special
connector inside the service window as described earlier. The other end of the
cable is the normal 25 pin D sub female LPT connector.

TOUCH PANEL

All paragraphs below are applicable for models with touch panel only.
The user of those models without touch panel can ignore them and consider
this user’s manual ends here.

Mouse Emulation

The touch panel in KS-6815 system uses internal USB interface as
standard and occupies no external port. Only the optional InfraRed type touch
panel of KS-6815 uses RS232 interface and occupies an internal COM4 port.
When the touch driver is properly installed, this touch panel works exactly like
a standard mouse for each interface. However, if the system is running under
safe mode, the touch panel calibration may become unsatisfactory due to

Part 19

disabled drivers. It is recommended to use a standard USB mouse or keyboard
in this mode.

All the below mentioned mouse emulation functions can be
manipulated through relevant software. The system can give a beep and a click
on the left button of a mouse at the point when the touch panel is touched. If
the point touched is dragged across the screen surface, it works as the mouse
drag and drop feature. If the point is touched, released and touched within a
short time interval, it is double-clicking left button of the mouse. To obtain the
effect like clicking on the right button of a mouse, touching any point on the
screen surface after touching the right-click sticky button results as a click on
the right button of the mouse at that point.

Posiflex USB Touch Manager

A program named “Posiflex USB Touch Manager” and a right-click
sticky button tool in the program group “Posiflex USB Touch Tools” is
installed in the preloaded Windows system with a USB interface touch panel
controller. This program can also be obtained by download from the
POSIFLEX web site.

RS232 Touch Cont r oller

If the KS system purchased is the leading edge Infra Red type touch
models, the touch controller is of RS232 interface using an internally reserved
COM4 port. The “Posiflex USB Touch Manager” above should be disregarded.

Once the RS232 touch controller driver is installed, the user can
utilize it to control the mouse emulation. Please click “Start”, “Settings”
“Control Panel” and “Elo Touchscreen” or just click the “elo” icon in tool tray
to engage this utility. However, with this touch controller driver, certain
display mode like full screen display of Windows DOS box should be avoided.
