802.11a/b/g Wireless and Ethernet LAN Adapter

SX-550

Embedded Wireless and Wired Networking for OEM devices

The Most Powerful and Secure Way to Implement Wireless Capabilities

The advantages of wireless networking are obvious. But as an OEM

device manufacturer, how can you easily and securely implement

wireless capabilities in your devices?

The solution is the Silex SX-550 Module, the first embedded networking

solution that supports all of the major wireless networking standards --

802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g -- as well as 100Base-T and 10Base-T

wired Ethernet. The SX-550 provides the most extensive network

security capabilities in the industry, so it can be used in virtually any

application or environment that requires wireless communications.

The SX-550 increases your bottom line by reducing your time to

market, making your products more competitive, and lessening the

need for in-house wireless expertise. It enables you to easily add wired

or wireless network connectivity to your devices with such features as:

Embedded Intelligent OEM Networking Module

•

High speed serial port plus dedicated console. The SX-550 serial port

runs at speeds up to 921.6Kbps with full modem control. The SX-550

also includes a second serial port for use as a dedicated console.

Ethernet and wireless versions. The SX-550 is available in models with

wired Ethernet only, or with both Ethernet and 802.11a/b/g wireless

capabilities. The two models are program compatible, so you do not

need to develop separate software in order to support both.

8 general purpose input/output (GPIO) signals. The GPIOs can be

used for custom applications like driving LEDs and sensing switches, or

for modem signals in conjunction with the serial ports.

Serial port emulation soft ware. The SX-550 includes software that

emulates a standard Windows

allows you to use your existing Windows-based applications without any

changes.

Ethernet bridge mode. The SX-550 can be configured as a transparent

bridge between Ethernet and 802.11a/b/g. This allows an Ethernet-

enabled device to communicate wirelessly with no modifications required

Power management. The SX-550 consumes very little power during

inactive periods, making it ideal for battery powered applications.

Antenna diversity. The SX-550 has two U.FL antenna connectors for

improved quality of transmission and reception.

your existing software.

COM port (for example, COM3). This

•

An available developer's kit provides the required hardware, software

tools and documentation for OEM customers to easily integrate the

SX-550 module in their equipment. The developer's kit includes

value-added programmable features, such as APIs for custom SNMP

and Email notification on the network. For example, you can use the

available GPIOs to eliminate the need for an additional processor and

therefore to reduce cost.

Highly Secure

Security is critical for enterprise and medical networks. In fact,

some network managers will not allow devices on their networks

that are not compatible with their security standards. Consequently,

the SX-550 is designed to work with all the major security standards.

It supports 802.1x Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) with

TLS, TTLS, LEAP, FAST, and PEAP to provide the most robust

network authentication. For wireless security, the SX-550 works

with the latest Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) Enterprise and

Personal (PSK) security, as well as WPA and WEP. The SX-550

also includes other enterprise-level security features such as access

control lists, protocol and application enable/disable, read and write

configuration passwords, and SNMP community name configuration.

Easy to Manage

The SX-550 is easy to configure and offers several options for

management. In addition to a built-in web browser interface, silex

provides ExtendView, a Windows utility for bulk configuration and

management. A console accessible via TELNET or the UART is

ava i lable for more sophisticated diagnostics and configuration. The

SX-550 is also compatible with the Simple Network Management

Protocol (SNMP) for compatibility with most popular network

management systems. In adddition, the SX-550 can be managed by

the attached device using AT commands and console commands

sent via the serial port. The SX-550 firmware is stored in flash

memory for easy updating in the field.

Easy to use. The SX-550 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.
