ATTENTION
Some USB storage devices may not be detected by the system. We suggest that you use one of
the devices listed in the above table, since these USB mass storage devices have been tested
successfully for compatibility.
Inserting a PCMCIA Card into the Computer
The DA-66X-CE computer does not have a built-in embedded wireless card. If you get a PCMCIA
wireless card, be sure that it has a WinCE5.0 driver. The following list shows the supported
PCMCIA Net Cards that we tested. Most of the RTL8139 PCI PCMCIA cards and NE2000 PCI
PCMCIA cards work with the DA-66X-CE.

Using Fiber Ethernet for the DA-663-CE
The DA-663-CE provides 2 multi-mode 100BaseFX fiber optic connectors as the network
communication interface. The fiber connectors support distances of up to 2 km between links with
an optical output of –20 dBm, an extinction ratio of10 dB, and a total receiver input of –32 dBm.
RS-232/422/485 Serial Ports
The DA-66X-CE embedded computer comes with two embedded serial ports, referred to as COM1
and COM2. COM1 is hidden inside the casing and is used for debugging purposes when
developing firmware. COM2 is used as the console port, which allows you to connect to the
computer over a serial connection. Although the console port can be used for applications such as
data acquisition and control, we suggest using the sixteen serial ports located on the back of the
device for applications.
From left to right, the sixteen serial ports are designated as “COM3” through “COM18”. The serial
ports are designed for reliability and high-speed operation, up to 921600 bps. Each port
incorporates three selectable operation modes (i.e., RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485) in order to
handle diverse applications. For detailed information on the serial port configuration, please refer
to Serial Port Configuration in Chapter 3, Web-based Management System.
