DIO/ADC/COM4: COM4 for the ENC550 can be connected internally to one of three

functions.

• COM4 RS-232

• Analog to Digital Converter inputs

• Digital I/O points

The DIO is a standard feature of all Technologic Systems SBCs. By default the 25-pin
connector is plugged into DIO1. If the ADC or COM4 options are purchased, the 25-pin
connector is plugged into the purchased option. Only one of the headers on the TS-ENC550
power supply board may be connected at one time. Plugging more than one of the headers in
may damage the circuitry.

FCC Advisory Statement

! Warning

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and
used properly (that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions), may cause
interference to radio and television reception. It has been type tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart J of
Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such
interference when operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause interference, in which case the owner at his own expense will
be required to correct the interference.

If this equipment does cause interference, which can be determined by turning the unit on and
off, the user is encouraged to try the following measures to correct the interference:

1. Reorient the receiving antenna.

2. Relocate the unit with respect to the receiver.

3. Plug the unit into a different outlet so that the unit and receiver are on different branch

circuits.

4. Ensure that mounting screws and connector attachment screws are tightly secured.

5. Ensure that good quality, shielded, and grounded cables are used for all data

communications.

If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician
for additional suggestions. The following booklets prepared by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) may also prove helpful:

How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems (Stock No. 004-000-
