Product Overview

2

The ART-5450 is a fanless, compact and rugged embedded system
designed specifically for in-vehicle fleet management applications.
Its inclusion of various mobile and wireless protocols serves to
provide the necessary connectivity for maintaining proper
communications with a dispatch center.

The ART-5450 system is based on the Em-ITX mainboard form
factor stacked with the EMIO-3450 module and powered by a VIA
Nano E 1.0 GHz processor. The ART-5450 supports high
computing power operation with low power consumption. And it
is capable of handling a wide range DC power inputs from 7V to
36V in both AT and ATX modes.

The ART-5450 also uses a special design to handle the critical issue
of in-vehicle power management (ignition on/off, delay on/off,
schedule the maintenance power on / off time). The power
management system protects the ART-5450 from power surges —
guarding against damage from transient car power. With the
power management system it is capable of handling a wide range
DC power inputs from 10V to 30V.

The ART-5450 system supports dual-sided multiple I/O connectors
such as audio ports, USB 2.0 ports, configurable COM ports, VGA
port, LVDS ports, Gigabit Ethernet ports, CompactFlash slot, and
SIM card slot.

The ART-5450 system offers an expansive array of connectivity
options including a 20 channel GPS receiver and Wireless LAN. In
addition, it supports a variety of common mobile network
protocols such as 3.5G, 2G, WCDMA, EDGE, and GPRS.

The ART-5450’s system chassis is a robust aluminum alloy and
designed to support mounting to a floor bed or side-panel of a
vehicle.

These combined features make the ART-5450 ideally suited for
wireless, in-vehicle system and fleet management applications.

The ART-5450 features fanless operation in a sealed aluminum
chassis that does double duty as a thermal solution.

Video Intensive Triple Display with Dual Independent Display

The rich display interface of the ART-5450 includes VGA and two
single-channel LVDS. Combined, these support three concurrent
displays consisting of CRT, LVDS1 and LVDS2 with the same timing
and same resolution.

USB ports, Serial (COM) Ports and Dual Gigabit LAN supports
intensive Communication and Control

The ART-5450 supports four USB 2.0 ports, enabling access to USB
peripherals such as storage subsystems, security ID devices, card
readers, bar code scanners, multifunction printers and scanners
individually dedicated or shared among users via the network,
making the best of USB device investments.

The ART-5450 is equipped with Dual Gigabit Ethernet, and four
serial ports, including two RS-232 serial ports and two RS­232/422/485 serial ports, that enable communication and control
at field level for measurement and operator control of diverse
automation.

Support for a Wide Range of Power Sources

The ART-5450 supports a wide range of input power from DC
7V~36V. The flexibility of power input enables the ART-5450 to be
deployable for various automation environments.

In-Vehicle Power Management Adapter Options

The ART-5450 has an optional power management module
(PWM-1000) that supports ignition on/off delay, maintenance
scheduling, ignition / ACC status notification, and “Input Under
Voltage Protection” notification. The VIA PWM-1000 in-vehicle

4

power management module can support a wide range of DC
power Input voltages from DC 10V~30V.

Jumper Settings

This section will explain how to configure the ART-5450 to match
the needs of your application by setting the jumpers.

44

BASIC JUMPER CONFIGURATION

The ART-5450 internal board provides a jumper for setting some
system hardware functions. The jumper is the simplest kind of
electrical switch. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip.
It is often protected by a plastic cover that slides over the pins to
connect them. In order to “close” a jumper, you should connect
the pins with the clip. And remove the clip in order to “open” the
jumper. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins which labeled 1,
2, and 3. In this case, you would connect either pins 1 and 2 or
pins 2 and 3.

Note:

A pair of needle nose pliers may be helpful when setting up the
jumpers. If you have any doubts about the proper hardware
configuration for your application, contact your local distributor
or sales representative before you make any changes.

45

CLEAR_CMOS: CLEAR CMOS JUMPER

The CMOS RAM is located on the lower board (motherboard) in
the ART-5450 system. It stores system configuration data and has
an onboard battery power supply. To reset the CMOS settings, set
the jumper on pin 2 and 3 while the system is off. Return the
jumper to pin 1 and 2 afterwards. Setting the jumper while the
system is on will damage the mainboard.

Caution:
Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the
CLEAR_CMOS jumper cap from the default position. Removing
the cap will cause system boot failure. Avoid clearing the CMOS
while the system is on; it will damage the mainboard.

46

AT/ATX POWER MODE SELECT

The ART-5450 supports two kinds of power modes: ATX (default)
and AT. The ATX mode requires a standby power connection and
a power supply on signal to turn on the main power supply. The
AT mode does not require a standby power connection but needs
to be connected to ground to boot up properly.

The power mode can be set by changing the jumper position on
the 3-pin AT/ATX pin header. The AT/ATX power mode jumper is
located on the lower board (motherboard) in the ART-5450
system.

PVDD1_SEL: LCD POWER JUMPER

The ART-5450 system motherboard provides an onboard jumper
named “PVDD1_SEL” for setting the LCD signal power to either
5V or 3.3V for LVDS1 connector on rear I/O panel.

When connecting the LVDS LCD Panel display to LVDS1, the
setting of PVDD1_SEL must match the power requirements of the
connected LVDS Panel display. The default setting of PVDD1_SEL
is 3.3V

(spikes) of the pulses create EMI (Electromagnetic Interference).
The Spread Spectrum function reduces the EMI generated by
modulating the pulses so that the spikes of the pulses are reduced
to flatter curves.

LOAD OPTIMIZED DEFAULTS

This option is for restoring all the default optimized BIOS settings.
The default optimized values are set by the mainboard
manufacturer to provide a stable system with optimized
performance.

Entering “Y” and press <Enter> to load the default optimized BIOS
values. Entering ”N” will cancel the load optimized defaults request.

85

SET SUPERVISOR/USER PASSWORD

This option is for setting a password for entering BIOS Setup.
When a password has been set, a password prompt will be
displayed whenever BIOS Setup is run. This prevents an
unauthorized person from changing any part of your system
configuration.

There are two types of passwords you can set. A supervisor
password and a user password. When a supervisor password is
used, the BIOS Setup program can be accessed and the BIOS
settings can be changed. When a user password is used, the
BIOS Setup program can be accessed but the BIOS settings cannot
be changed.

To set the password, type the password (up to eight characters in
length) and press

Enter

. The password typed now will clear any
previously set password from CMOS memory. The new password
will need to be reentered to be confirmed. To cancel the process
press

Esc

.

To disable the password, press

Enter

when prompted to enter a
new password. A message will show up to confirm disabling the
password. To cancel the process press

Esc

.

Additionally, when a password is enabled, the BIOS can be set to
request the password each time the system is booted. This would
prevent unauthorized use of the system. See “Security Option” in
the “Advanced BIOS Features” section for more details.
