connected. A common mistake is connecting the mouse too late (e.g., Microsoft
Windows looks for a mouse when .i.Windows; is first invoked, so plugging a mouse
in after Windows has been started has no effect).
Some PCs and PC peripherals contain DB-25 serial connectors instead of DB-9
connectors. Adapters converting from one to the other are readily available.
Parallel Printer Port
The .i.parallel port; on the front panel is compatible with the corresponding
.i.LPT1; connector on IBM PCs and compatibles. Typically it is used to connect
printers and software .i.security keys;..i.Printer port; A BIOS setup screen
parameter lets you configure it in "normal" mode (electrically identical to the
normal PC printer port) or in "input" mode (for use by parallel input devices,
such as .i.scanner;s).
On the EPC-2 (not EPC-2x) the connector is a standard DB-25 connector. On the
EPC-2x, the connector is a miniature 20-contact connector, compatible with a 3M
10320 plug or equivalent. The EPC-2x is supplied with an adapter cable that
converts this to a standard DB-25 connector.
GPIB Port
The .i.GPIB port; is a standard shielded IEEE-488 receptacle.
External Clock Input
The EPC-2 provides the option, when it is configured as the slot-0 controller,
of deriving the ECL .i.CLK10; signal from an internal oscillator or from a 10
MHz .i.external clock; source. An SMB connector is provided on the front panel.
Its input impedance is 50 ohms. The external clock signal must have TTL levels.
A function on the BIOS setup screen enables this external input.
