Installing the SX-560 Module To install the SX-560 module in the SX-560-6900 Evaluation Daughtercard: 1. Using the 40-pin OEM interface header (JP2), plug the SX-560 Module in the SX-560-6900 Evaluation Daughtercard and secure with screws, nuts and spacers (you may optionally use the metal retaining bracket to secure the radio card and to reduce electromagnetic interference; refer to Chapter 5 for information on using this bracket). Important: The spacers MUST be installed to avoid p

Power Management The SX-560 power consumption is typically 280mA for wireless-to-serial usage, with a peak consumption is 400mA @ 3.3V. In powersave mode (refer to Chapter 4 for more information) with the SX-560 connected wirelessly to an access point, the consumption is 60mA while idling and an average of about 73mA including wakenings to answer the beacon poll. The above numbers assume that the only active connections are the 802.11 wireless interface and the serial interface (for

DB-9 RS-232 Signal Type 7 RTS Output (not supported on Serial Port 3) 8 CTS Input (not supported on Serial Port 3) 9 NC Serial Port 1 can also be accessed using logic signals via a 10-pin header located at JP6. If you want to use this header, you must place a jumper on the 2-pin header at JP10 to disable the RS-232 transceiver. The pinouts are as follows: Table 6 Logical Serial Port 1 Signal Descriptions Pin Signal Input/Output Pin Signal Input/Output 1 DCD Input 2 DSR Inpu
