Radio Linkages of any type can be fragile and tenuous. Over 1/5th of the entire population of the world now owns cellular telephones, and as any user of a cell phone knows, the cell phone radio communications link may be easily disrupted or completely lost simply by turning your head or by other small environmental movements or changes. This clearly demonstrates to everyone the fragility of any radio link and why radio should not be used for critical implementations, or where death, personal injury, physical damage, property damage or environmental damage may result.
Tellus Group Corp.’s products are not designed, manufactured, or intended for use or resale as online control equipment in hazardous environments requiring fail-safe performance, such as, but not limited to the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation, vital communication systems, air traffic control, life support machines, weapons systems, or any industry in which environmental disruptions or technology failure could lead directly to death, personal injury, physical damage, property damage or environmental damage.

1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this 802.11b WLAN serial module (hereafter we call this product as
The Module).
The Module is designed for embedded into device that uses battery power and has
very limited space. The Module will replace the device’s RS232 cable that connects to host PC. Via IP network compatible wireless connection, The Module transfers byte stream between device and hos t PC. The Module is compliant with 802.11b protocol standard. It can operate at ad-hoc mode or infrastructure mode, and support 64/128-bits WEP security. The design goal for The Module is to provide an OEM embedded device with compact and small size, easy to use and low power consumption.
1.1 Features:
Ÿ Programmable baud rate (9600, 38400, 57600, 115200 bps) Ÿ Full-duplex (serial data in, and serial data out) Ÿ Hardware flow control Ÿ Firmware upgrade through RS232 port Ÿ Supports full mobility and seamless roaming from cell to cell Ÿ Easy set up via Console or Desktop Utility Ÿ LED status and activity indicators for easy installation, monitoring and diagnostics Ÿ Link to WLAN Access Point (referred as infrastructure mode) Ÿ Link to another WLAN station (referred as “ad hoc” mode)
1.2 Application
The Module provides the RS232 to WLAN converting function (Figure 1-1. For the device (especially the device) that needs to replace the RS232 cable with WLAN, The
Module is the right choice.
