Introduction
The VRC 5000 is a rugged, NEMA 4/IP66, PC-compatible
computer. The VRC 5000 is available with or without a
touchscreen, and a heater. The VRC 5000 provides a full VGA
display (either electroluminescent or color LCD), multiple network
options and full I/O capability. Each VRC system is fully PC-
compatible with the MS-DOS Versions 3.3 through 6.22,
Windows
®
3.1, Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Windows 95 and
Windows NT operating systems.
There are two models available. Unless specifically stated, the term
VRC 5000 refers to both models:
•
The VRC 5000 is a fixed-mounted terminal that can be hard-
wired to a local area network (LAN) using Ethernet connec-
tions. It can also be equipped with wireless (RF) network
communications where a hard-wired LAN is not practical.
•
The VRC 5040 is designed for a vehicular-mounted applica-
tion. It is powered from the vehicle’s battery through a power
converter. It uses Symbol’s Spectrum 24 2.4 GHz spread-spec-
trum radio link to communicate with (RF) network access
points hard-wired into the LAN. Antenna options include
patch and “rubber duck” types.
