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

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
WinXPE users should follow these steps:
Step 1: Go to
Start
Settings
Network Connections
.
Step 2: In the screen of
Local Area Connection Properties
,
click
