Returning Products to Telit
If a problem cannot be resolved by Telit technical support, a Return Material Authorization
(RMA) is issued. This number is used to track the returned material at the factory and to
return repaired or new components to the customer as needed.
NOTE: Do not return any components to Telit Corporation unless you have first
obtained an RMA number. Telit reserves the right to refuse shipments that do not
have an RMA. Refused shipments will be returned to the customer by collect
freight.
To return a hardware component:
1. Determine the part number and serial number of the component.
2. Obtain an RMA number from Sales/Distributor Representative.
3. Provide the following information in an e-mail or during the telephone call:
– Part number and serial number of component
– Your name, organization name, telephone number, and fax number
– Description of the failure
4. The support representative validates your request and issues an RMA number for
return of the components.
5. Pack the component for shipment.
Guidelines for Packing Components for Shipment
To pack and ship individual components:
– When you return components, make sure they are adequately protected with
packing materials and packed so that the pieces are prevented from moving
around inside the carton.
– Use the original shipping materials if they are available.
– Place individual components in electrostatic bags.
– Write the RMA number on the exterior of the box to ensure proper tracking.
CAUTION! Do not stack any of the components.

Chapter 1 Hardware Overview
This chapter provides an overview of the GainSpan® GS2000 based module evaluation
board features for the GS2011M, GS2100M, GS2101M and GS2200M modules.

1.1 GainSpan GS2011M Ultra-Low Power 802.11b/g/n Module
The GS2011M module provides a quick, easy, and cost effective way for device and
appliance manufacturers to add Wi-Fi connectivity to their products. The module provides
UART/SPI/SDIO interface connection for an embedded design using a 8/16/32-bit micro
controller. The GS2011M module supports ultra-low power mode enabling designs for both
battery powered or line powered applications. Alternatively, it can be run self-contained
without a host (to develop a hostless application an SDK is required).
The GS2011M is an ideal solution for organizations with limited Wi-Fi or RF expertise or
for those seeking faster time to market, as it reduces RF design time and removes the burden
of testing and certification.
The module runs the full Wi-Fi and TCP/IP networking stacks on module, completely
offloading the host micro controller. The module supports a complete suite of security
protocols, also without tasking the host micro controller, including WPA/WPA2-Enterprise
and Personal security modes, legacy WEP encryption, and upper layer security protocols
such as TLS/SSL and HTTPS. For ease of provisioning, the module can be set up simply
and easily from a smart phone or laptop through the innovative Limited AP mode or with
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS 2.0). In addition, the module includes two analog to digital
converter (ADC) pins for connecting sensors.
The GainSpan GS2011M module is designed to support the following features:
– An on-board antenna or u.FL connector to add an external antenna for extended
range
– Full Wireless LAN and Network services offload solution minimizes load on host
processor
– Ultra low power consumption through dynamic management modes: Standby,
Sleep, Deep Sleep
– Easy provisioning with Limited AP or Wi-Fi protected set up (WPS 2.0)
– IEEE 802.11 b/g/n connectivity
