Airborne™ Embedded Wireless Device Server Module Evaluation and Development Kit

Introduction

The Evaluation Kit consists of a printed circuit board assembly with an Airborne™ Wireless Device Server Module. All of the necessary hardware, software and documentation are provided to quickly power-up and operate the WLN module. Designed as an evaluation platform for the WLN 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 are digital and RS232 UART ports, multiple GPIO ports, analog input ports and an optional SPI bus port.

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 WLN module. The board includes a battery and holder that enables portable evaluation of the WLN module in a variety of locations and physical circumstances, such as outdoors, in a factory, or in office environments behind 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 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™ Embedded Wireless Device Server Module.
