2.12.2 Audio power source setting (J5)
The board is designed to work with a 5 volts power supply as
audio interfaces usually function under +5 volts. However, most audio
controllers require an indep12 volts power source since this
avoids noise interference from other digital circuits. By using J5, the
board’s audio interface can also 12 V power sources for
improved audio quality. Configuration of the audio interface is done com-
pletely via software utilities. You don’t have to set any jumpers. For fur-
ther information, please refer to Chapter 5 for audio setup details.
2.13 COM port connector (CN21,CN22)
The board provides two serial RS-232 ports in one DB-9 connector and
one box header with auto-flow control. It provides connections for serial
devices (a mouse, etc.) or a communication network. You can find the pin
assignments for the COM port connector in Appendix C.
