1.1 Overview
Figure 1-1: AFL-W19A/W19B/17D/W15A-N270
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 Bluetooth technology and
network access is enabled through a 802.11b/g/n wireless adapter. Wired options are
always available on the rear panel, with two serial ports and four USB ports for peripherals
and two Gigabit Ethernet slots 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 300 K webcam and a microphone input jack.
1.2 Model Variations
The AFL-17D-N270 and AFL-W19B-N270 also support a built-in slim-type SATA optical
disk drive.
