Airbor ne™ Embedded Serial or Ether net to W ir eless LAN (module)
Evaluation & Design Kit (802.11 b/g)
Evaluate Airborne’s Performance
with an Evaluation & Design Kit
The Evaluation & Design Kit provides
software and utilities for a developer to
quickly and easily operate and evaluate the
Airborne
TM
Embedded Wireless Device
Server Module (WLNG-EK-DP001, WLNGEK-DP003)
Each kit consists of a printed circuit board
assembly (Evaluation Board) with the
module. All of the necessary hardware,
software and documentation are provided
to quickly power-up and operate the
module. Designed as an evaluation and
design aid for the embedded module, the
board has a variety of exposed interfaces
offering flexible options for connection to
OEM applications and test configurations.
Among the I/O connections on the
Evaluation Board for the Embedded
Wireless Device Server Module are digital
and RS-232 UART ports, multiple GPIO
ports, analog input ports and optional SPI
bus port. The Wireless Ethernet Bridge
Module uses a separate circuit board (see
Model Selection Guide).
Applications
The Evaluation Board features a series of
switches and LED’s used for LAN
interaction. They indicate power, RF link,
link activity and the status of several other
functions of the module. The board
includes a battery and holder that
enables portable evaluation of the module
in a variety of locations and
physical circumstances, such as
outdoors, in a factory, or in office
environments behinds cubicles and
around walls. Typical evaluation criteria
might include: receive signal strength,
selected bit rate, actual data rate, bit error
rate and lost packet count. These can be
observed and recorded for later review. A
monopole antenna can be attached and is
included with the kit.
Accompanying the Evaluation & Design
Kit is a CD containing the Evaluation
Utility , and comprehensive module and kit
documentation. The easy to follow User’s
Guide provides all the information needed
to set up, configure, and operate the
Evaluation Kit and software. The
Evaluation Software provides a unified
user interface with a rich set of evaluation
and performance measurement
functions. This is an excellent tool that
makes it quick and easy to evaluate the
features and benefits of the Airborne
TM
modules.
