Use the Y-type cable to convert the mini-DIN connector into two 6-pin 
mini-DIN connectors to connect both a PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse 
at the same time. (The Y-type cable is not included in the accessory 
package. It should be purchased separately. You may also use the USB 
ports to connect your USB-based keyboard and mouse.) 

 
 
 
 
 
Serial Ports 

The DA-681 offers six RS-232 ports with DB9 connectors and eight 
RS-485 ports with Terminal Blocks. The pin assignments for the ports 
are shown in the following table:

4. 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: 

#ifdown –a 
//Disable LAN1~LAN6 interface first, before you 
reconfigure the LAN settings. LAN1 = eth0, LAN2 = eth1 and so on// 
#vi /etc/network/interfaces 
//check the LAN interface first// 

After the boot setting of the LAN interface has been modified, use the 
following commands to activate the LAN settings immediately: 

#sync; ifup –a 

 

WinCE 6.0 users should follow these steps:
