Airborne Enterprise WLNN EVB Users Guide
1.0 Overview
This guide describes the Airborne™ Enterprise class Device Server Module Evaluation
Kit from B&B Electronics, Inc. The Module Evaluation Kit is intended as a testing and
development platform for B&B Electronics’ Airborne™ Enterprise Device Server Module.
The Airborne Module offers significant advantages over other wireless solutions in terms
of size, cost, power consumption, and performance. It is ideal for applications that require
a reliable embedded IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n-compliant wireless engine.
This Kit is a complete package powered by the Airborne Module. It includes an
Evaluation Board (EVB) that contains the Airborne Module along with connectors and
headers that provide access to all of the modules interfaces. It also includes the Airborne
Management Center (AMC) application you can use to observe, configure and evaluate
the operation and performance of the Airborne Module. For a complete list of the contents
provided with your Kit, refer to the Airborne Wireless Enterprise Device Server Module
Quick Start Guide.
The Airborne EVB is a versatile, full-featured tool specifically designed for evaluating the
Airborne Module. It incorporates all the circuitry, interfaces, push-buttons, and Light
Emitting Diodes (LEDs) needed to observe and evaluate the Airborne Module. The
portability of the Airborne EVB allows it to be observed and evaluated in variety of
locations and conditions.
