Vantron IBOX6425E Embedded Industrial Computer is powered by Intel® Elkhart Lake
Atom® x6425E high-performance processor that has four cores capable of delivering high
computing power for various embedded applications while keeping the CPU performance
at 12W of low power consumption. The Device supports two Ethernet ports transmitting
at 10/100/1000Mbps. As to internal expansion, it offers two M.2 slots, one for Wi-Fi 802.11
a/b/g/n/ac and BT 5.0 and the other optionally expandable for 4G/5G connection to keep
the communication uninterrupted.
The Device comes with an HDMI interface and a VGA interface to optimize image display.
Two serial ports are available to communicate with external devices to ensure a reliable,
error-free data path.
As the Device provides rich peripheral interfaces, a wide range of peripherals can be
connected for extended applications, including barcode scanners, cameras, barcode
printers and keyboard plates. Above all, its strong performance, reliable and stable quality,
and excellent cost performance are second to none for smart business applications.

2.2 Connecting a Host Computer
1. Insert one end of a display cable to the VGA/HDMI interface of the Device and the other
end to a host computer;
The display cable shall vary with the interface to be connected, and adapter connectors
are sometimes needed (HDMI interface for illustration here).
2. Connect the mouse and keyboard to the USB interfaces on the Device for easier
operation;
3. To use the Device as an ADB device, use a USB cable to connect the host computer and
the USB Type-C interface on the Device;
If you connect a touch monitor other than a host computer, remember to use a data
cable to connect the touch monitor and IBOX6425E to enable touch control.
