Overview
The DA-682A-DPP series of computers are x86-based hardware platforms
with VGA, six Gigabit Ethernet ports, CompactFlash, USB, and two PCI
ports for expansion modules. The DA-682A-DPP is available in three basic
modules with different CPU options, giving designers the flexibility to
choose the DOM (Disk on Module) option, RAM option, and operating
system as per their requirements.
Compliance with IEC-61850-3 and IEEE 1613 standards confirms that the
DA-682A-DPP computer can deliver stable and reliable system operations
in power applications. Additional value and convenience is provided
through a modular design with two independent slots for flexible system
integration and expansion. Users have the option to add a variety of
different communications modules using these expansion slots, including
8-port RS-232/422/485 module, 8-port RS-422/485 module, 8-port
10/100 Mbps switch module, IRIG-B time-synchronization card, and a
universal PCI expansion module.

Connecting to a Display
The VGA hardware interface is a D-Sub 15-pin female connector. Be sure
to cut off system power before you connect or disconnect the monitor
cable.
USB Ports
The DA-682A-DPP comes with four USB 2.0 ports, two on the rear panel,
and two on the front. Users may use these USB ports to connect keyboard,
mouse, or other peripherals such as flash drives to expand the system’s
storage capacity.
Ethernet Ports
The DA-682A-DPP provides six 100/1000 Mbps Ethernet RJ45 ports. The

Installing Expansion Modules
The DA-682A-DPP is provided with two expansion slots, which can be
used to connect Moxa’s DA Series expansion modules. These modules
provide serial ports, Ethernet LAN interfaces, unmanaged switch ports,
and fiber interfaces. The modules can also serve as PCI development
modules for custom application development for PCI-based devices.
Expansion modules are loaded using the slots on the rear panel of the
DA-682A-DPP computer.

Configuring the Ethernet Interface
Linux users should follow these steps:
If you use the console cable to configure network settings for the first
time, use the following commands to edit the interfaces file.
STEP 1: Take all network interfaces offline, before you reconfigure the
LAN settings using the following command:
MOXA:~# ifdown –a
STEP 2: Edit the network interfaces file.
You can use a text editor of your choice, but VI is the default text editor on
the DA-682A-DPP-LX.
MOXA:~#vi /etc/network/interfaces
STEP 3: Set the DA-682A-DPP for either dynamic IP addressing or static
addressing.
To set it for dynamic IP addressing, enter the following lines into
the network interfaces file:
# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
To set an interface for static IP addressing, use the following
configuration:
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The first LAN interface, LAN 1
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.3.127
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.3.255
# The second LAN interface, LAN 2
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.4.127
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.4.255
Each interface must be configured with separate entries in the
network/interfaces file. LAN1 corresponds to eth0, LAN 2
corresponds to eth1, and so forth for the remaining interfaces.
STEP 4: Exit the text editor.
Use the following command to exit VI:
:wq
STEP 5: After the interfaces file has been configured, use the following
commands to reinitialize the network interfaces and to activate the new
settings:
MOXA:~#sync; ifup –a

- 7 -
Win 7 users should follow these steps:
Step 1: Go to Start Control Panel Network and Internet 
Network Connections.
Step 2: In Local Area Connection Properties, select Internet
Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click Properties.
Step 3: Click OK after entering the preferred IP address and netmask.
NOTE
Refer to the DA
-682A-DPP software user’s manual for the OS
installed on your machine for
additional configuration
information.
