Page 10: External I/O Connections
External I/O Connections The following sections describe the external I/O connections of the WLAN17202ER. Connector CN1/CN2 - PC/104 ISA Connector CN1/CN2 carries the signals of the PC/104-Plus ISA bus. The signals from this bus are not used on this module. The connector serves as a pass-through to other PC/104 and PC/104-Plus modules. -

When the PC/104-Plus Specification was first introduced, it only allowed for three PCI add-on cards to be bus masters. Version 2.0 of the PC/104-Plus specification was released in November 2003. This version of the specification (which the WLAN17202ER is designed for) adds support for all 4 PCI slots to be bus masters. - Page 13 Note: The WLAN17202ER comes with jumpers JP1 and JP2 set to position 1-2 by default. This should be compatible with most PC/104-Plus CPUs. There is no need to change these jumpers unless you are having compatibility problems with your specific CPU.
