X-Cards

The AirLink GX Series gateway has several optional, factory-installed, expansion
cards (X-Cards) available to add more functions to the basic gateway. They are
configurable with the ALEOS ACEmanager software and more information is
available in the ALEOS Software Configuration User Guide.
The options are:
• Wi-Fi—Adds Wi-Fi capability to the gateway using the 802.11b/g/n standard
• I/O—Has a 15-pin connector which adds to the gateway:
· One 4-wire RS-232 port
· Four analog inputs
· Four high-voltage/high-power digital I/Os with analog readout
