Using the SX-550 WLAN Module
The SX-550 WLAN module provides a dedicated host processor and an industry-leading network protocol
stack for connectivity to a traditional wired Ethernet or an 802.11a, b or g wireless local area network.
The module is easy to configure with several management options, including an internal web browser
interface and the Windows-based ExtendView configuration utility. In addition, the module’s internal
console can be accessed using TELNET or the serial port via a command line interface for sophisticated
diagnostics and configuration. It is also compatible with the SNMP MIBs I, II and has a proprietary MIB to
allow complete customization and monitoring.
The two circuit boards are 1.8 x 2.4-inch six-layer integrated design using surface-mounted components.
The module contains two I/O ports and three status LEDs that can be configured and programmed to
meet your functional requirements.
The compact form factor offers three through-holes allowing for flexible mounting options for
configurations, such as Ethernet and wireless versions. The Serial Port Emulator software allows for an
easy integration with existing PC applications.
A variety of power management options ensure very low power consumption during inactive periods.
