Page 17 / 26 Example of wiring for UART (1 and/or 2) : The CKEY is an optional storage device used to save and restore the product configuration. relocate somewhere else in your system. It should be removed and inserted only when power supply source is OFF.
Page 18 / 26 ANTENNA CONNECTOR With normal version : 3 x U.FL male connectors, from Hirose With /3 version : 3 x MMCX male connectors - Connect it three 2.4/5GHz antennas with 50ohms coaxial cable (with U.FL or MMCX female connector according to radio card) - You should use 3 antennas at the same time, else performance will be drop.
Page 19 / 26 MOUNTING OF THE DEVICE Not using P-USER VI.1 Usually, when not using signals from P-USER, you can plug the WLn- LINK-OEM at the height you want (minimum of 5mm), with the previously indicated connectors . > 5mm DTUS066 rev A1 March 21, 2012...
Page 20 / 26 VI.2 Using P-USER If you need P-USER, you should mandatorily mount WLn-LINK-OEM at the height of 5mm. To do this, you must use special connectors for P-GEN, P-LED and P- ETH, that will be bottom mounted, with bottom entry. ( ex : SAMTEC BSW-1xx-xx-L-D SAMTEC BCS-1xx-L-D-PE-BE ANTELEC Series FT2...
