Configuring the System 

The touchpanel may be configured for serial, Cresnet, or Ethernet communication 
with the PC that contains the Touch the PC V2 software. TPS tilt touchpanels may 
contain a TPS-XVGA or TPS-XVGA-BV card. TPS lectern touchpanels (and TPS-
TPI user interface) utilize a TPS-XVGAL card. To configure the PC, touchpanel, 
and specific TPS-XVGA card, refer to an appropriate section below and or on the 
next seven pages. In each configuration, for more information about cabling and 
wiring specifications, refer to “Appendix B – Cable and Wiring Specifications” on 
page 21.
