3-2-2 COM Connectors
COM 1 and COM2 Connectors
The JetBox 8210 provides 2 D-sub 9-pin connectors for RS-232/422/485
communications. The default setting of COM1~ COM2 is RS-232. Please refer with the
programming guide for changing the settings or use the “SerCon” control applet of
the control panel to change the settings.
COM3 and COM4 Connectors
The JetBox 8210 provides 2 D-sub 9-pin connectors (COM3 and COM4) for RS-232
communication.
Note the settings are stored in the EEPROM, not registry. It’s necessary to configure
each hardware target manually or programmatically. Replacing the CF card with OS
and hive registry data will not affect the mode settings of the COM ports.

3-3-2 VGA Connector
JetBox 8210 supports VGA (640*480) output to give users much flexibility in
industrial applications.
Note: Because the frequency of JetBox 8210 VGA output is around 62 Hertz, not the
general VGA 60 or 75 Hertz. Therefore, the VGA output of the JetBox 8210 is NOT
fully compliant with all the VGA monitors, especially for some monitors without
“Auto Sync” functionality.

128 Bytes I2C type EEPROM is provided for the default settings. There is 64 bytes is
reserved for system usage, and 64 Bytes is provides for user’s applications.
3-4-7 Security EEPROM
128 Bytes security EEPROM is provided for the security settings usage. It’s can’t be
read/write by the hardware programmer, only the software interface can. There is 64
bytes is reserved for system usage, and 64 Bytes is provides for user’s applications.
3-5 RS232/422/485 Serial Ports
3-5-1 Overview
JetBox 8210 supports four serial ports. The first 2 ports, COM1 and COM2, are
RS232/422/485 configurable. The later 2 ports are dedicated for RS232 mode. Refer
with 3-3-2 VGA Connector for connector pin assignments.
3-5-2 Configuration
JetBox 8210 configures COM1 and COM2 as RS232 operation mode as factory default
settings. These operation mode settings are stored in the system EEPROM, not
registry, and the settings are applied during system boot up. One configuring utility
named “SerCon” located in the control panel could be used to change the settings
and save to the system EEPROM.
Replace the CF card “B” of JetBox 8210 “B” with from a well configured CF card “A” of
JetBox 8210 “A” will not change the serial port configurations of JetBox 8210 “B”. It’s
suggested to configure the serial ports programmatically if a great quantity of JetBox
8210 is applied.
Refer with SW Manual if software programming interface is necessary for configuring

3-7 Hardware Unique Serial Number
JetBox 8210 provides a 6 bytes hardware unique serial number for identification.
User’s applications can utilize this ID for security protection.
In addition, the drivers for security are implemented as a non-unloadable driver and
the related registry settings are set as hive boot (non-changeable).
