4.7.3.
DIN Rail Clip (Option)
For DIN Rail mounting of the KBox A-103, may be ordered a DIN Rail clip (refer to subsection 3.2.2 “Optional Parts”).
If ordered, you can adopt your system for mounting to a DIN Rail. On the vertical mounting plate (Figure 18, pos. 4) and
on the access cover (Figure 14, pos. 8) are provided tapped holes for mounting the optional DIN Rail clip (Figure 21).

4.7.4.
WiFi/WLAN (Option)
Please observe that the KBox A-103 with vertical mounting plate (Figure 18) can’t be
extended with the WLAN option.
Depending on the ordered system configuration, the KBox A-103 system (only KBox A-103 used as desktop or KBox A-
103 with vertical/horizontal wallmount brackets or with DIN Rail clip) can be equipped with WiFi hardware. If you
have ordered a system configuration including WLAN, at the rear side, two Reverse (RP) SMA-connectors (Figure 20,
pos.8) for screwing on the provided WLAN antenna are installed.
4.7.4.1.
WLAN/WiFi Antenna
During the installation of the KBox A-103 the provided system antennas (Figure 22) will be screwed onto the
RP SMA connectors (Figure 20, pos.8) of the system. The antennas may be tilted and rotated in the appropriate
positions to get the optimal transmission and reception quality.

GPIO Interface (Option)
The KBox A-103 with vertical mounting plate (Figure 18) can’t be extended with the GPIO
option.
Optionally, the KBox A-103 may be equipped with via an internal factory mounted GPIO adapter (General Purpose
Input/Output) interface. Peripheral devices can be controlled freely programmable via this interface, which consists
of a 9-pin D-SUB connector interface (Figure 20, pos. 7). The GPIOs can be controlled via the KEAPI (Kontron
Embedded API), which is part of the official Board Support Package.
