SX-560-2701
Intelligent Programmable WLAN Module
802.11a/b/g Wireless Solution for OEM Embedded Applications
Low Power Consumption, Linux Programmable and Enterprise Security
The Silex SX-560 embedded Module is an intelligent and cost effective
solution that supports 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g wireless networking.
Its low power consumption and a compact form factor make it ideal for
battery powered portable devices, but its extensive capabilities make it
suitable for almost any embedded WLAN applications.
The SX-560 handles all of the TCP/IP and 802.11 network processing, so
it provides a fast and easy way to add wireless networking capabilities
to your device. Because it offloads the network processing, the
processor on your device operates more efficiently and there is little or
no change required to your code. As a result, you increase your bottom
line by reducing your time to market, making your products more
competitive, and minimizing the need for in-house wireless expertise.
Enterprise Management.
Silex's ExtendView management software
provides advanced features such as the ability to monitor, configure
and update multiple SX-560 modules simultaneously over the network.
Management capabilities are also available via TELNET, SNMP, web
browser, and a dedicated serial console port. For added control, AT
commands and console commands can also be sent via the two serial ports.
Two Serial Ports Plus Dedicated Console Port.
The SX-560 provides two
serial ports that can used to connect to RS-232 or UART interfaces in
your device. These ports operate at speeds up to 921Kbps with modem
controls. A third serial port is also included for use as a dedicated
console port.
USB port.
The USB V1.1 host port supports speeds up to 12 Mbps.
The optional SX-Virtual Link Windows/Macintosh software/firmware is
available to access the USB port.
General Purpose I/Os (GPIOs).
The 9 GPIOs can be used for custom
applications like driving LEDs and sensing switches, or for modem
signals in conjunction with the serial ports.
SNMP Traps and E-mail Alerts.
Users can be notified immediately of any
status changes on the GPIOs or serial ports via SNMP or E-mail.
Antenna Diversity.
The SX-560 has two U.FL antenna connectors for
improved quality of transmission and reception.
Easy to Use.
The SX-560 features a compact form factor with
through-holes for flexible mounting options. A 40-pin connector
header for the serial and GPIO signals simplifies the hardware
interface to your device.
Features
Low Power Consumption.
The SX-560 uses a minimum amount of power
during transmitting and receiving, and its power management reduces
power usage during periods of inactivity.
Linux Operating System with User Programmability.
The SX-560 uses the
Linux operating system and is designed to allow users to easily add
new features. With a 200MHz 32-bit processor, 16MB of RAM and 8MB
of flash memory, the SX-560 has plenty of capacity to handle complex
user applications.
Highly Secure
The SX-560 includes enterprise-level security features
including access control lists, complete protocol and application
enable/disable control, read and write configuration passwords, and
SNMP community name configuration. It features the most extensive
wireless security in the industry, including 802.1x Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP) with all major EAP types and WPA2,
WPA2-PSK, WPA, WPA-PSK, and WEP wireless security.

The OEM interface allows OEMs to add functionality via a
daghtercard. Power is also input through this interface. This is a 40-
pin 0.5-mm pitch surface-mount header (Hirose DF12-40DS-0.5V or
equivalent). Pin assignments are shown below.
