RS 232C Ports Extension Slot
I/O ports #1 and #2 (D-sub 9) on the rear panel can be used for
general RS 232C based devices according to the application.
Further information on this subject can be found in the CD-i
Technical Documentation.
Depending on the application, RS 232C based devices may also be
connected to CD-i I/O port #4 on the rear panel. For more
information, please refer to the Technical Documentation of this
CD-i player.
An extension slot provides opportunities for upgrading of system
functionality and establishment of communication facilities.
As functional requirements differ from one application to another,
it is of no use to offer a ‘‘standard” optional extension. Instead, a
tailor-made extension, on the basis of a flexible and optimal
specification, will be scheduled for each project.
