devices such as relays, lamps or transmitters. Power consumed from these terminals should be considered
when calculating system power consumption. The CPU board is powered via a ribbon cable connected to
the Main I/O.
Communication Port 1 (COM1) and Communication Port 2 (COM 2) are both found on terminal TB3. To
simplify 2-wire daisy chains by providing additional terminals for cable connections, terminals 1 and 5 (2
and 6) are tied together on TB3 as well as terminals 3 and 7 (4 and 8) of COM 1 (COM 2).

If a network is not available, or if it is desired to keep the ViewSmart 1600+ and PC(s) completely separated
from other computers, a simple network can be created.
