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.
DB-9 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 Signal...
Table 7 RS-232 Cable Pinout Description *Note: Serial Port 1 (J3) supports all signals. Serial Port 2 (J4) supports RxD, TxD, RTS, and CTS. Serial Port 3 (J5; dedicated console port) supports RxD and TxD only. Using the GPIO Special Functions Six of the General Purpose I/Os (GPIOs) can be configured for either user-defined operations or for GPIO for special functions.
Figure 6 GPIO Special Functions Jumpers (Example Configuration) The GPIOs are accessed via header JP3 as described in the next section. You can set and read the GPIO state, and set Email alerts and SNMP traps based on the GPIO state as described in Chapter 6 of this manual.
As discussed in the previous section, GPIOs 3 through 8 are set by default for special functions such as modem controls. To use GPIOs 3 through 8 as normal GPIOs, you must place a jumper between JP7 and JP8 for the specific GPIO as described in the previous section. GPIO 2 can also have a special function if SPI mode is selected for the LCD display via header JP12 as described in the LCD Interface section later in this chapter.
USB Host Port and Ethernet Port The USB V1.1 host port, located on J1, can be used to connect standard Full Speed (12Mbps) or Low Speed (1.5Mbps) USB devices. High Speed (480Mbps) is not supported. The USB port is disabled by default. To enable it, remove the jumpers on headers JP4 and JP5 as shown below.
LCD Interface A 16x2 LCD display is available as an option for the SX-560-6900 Evaluation Daughtercard. This LCD can be controlled from either Serial Port 2 or via the SPI interface. The LCD display plugs into header JP1. Header JP12 is used to select serial or SPI control (place a jumper on pins 1 and 2 to select serial, or place the jumper on pins 2 and 3 to select SPI).

Using the SX-560 with Your Application The SX-560 includes a number of capabilities that enable it to be used in a wide range of applications. These capabilities include: 1. Linux programmability 2. User interface customization 3. Power configuration 4. Serial Port Emulator (SPE) software 5.
Daughtercard, or it can be downloaded from the Silex website. To install it, follow the on-screen instructions and then restart your computer when the installation is complete. You can now run the SPE software by clicking Start -> Programs -> silex technology -> Serial Port Emulator -> Serial Port Emulator.
After the Serial Port Emulator software has started, you will see a list of all the configured SX-560s on the network. Right click on the name of the SX-560 that you want the virtual COM port to connect to (the default name is SDSxxxxxx, where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the SX-560 MAC address), and then click Virtual Port.
where ipaddress is the IP address of the SX-560 and portnumber is the SX-560 TCP port number. For example: telnet 192.168.5.53 9100 In this example, if you have a serial printer or other device capable of displaying ASCII characters connected to the SX-560 Serial Port 1, then every character you type should be printed on that serial device (buffered serial devices may need you to type a control character such as a formfeed (CONTROL- L) before the characters are printed).
6. It is also possible to use UDP instead of TCP for communicating to and from the SX-560. If you wish to use UDP, then: a. Select UDP as ECable I/O Mode. b. Enter the UDP port number (Destination Port) used by the destination device to communicate with the SX-560.
Once you are connected in console mode, you can send any of the console commands listed in Chapter 6. Be sure to terminate each console command with a carriage return (ASCII 13) or linefeed (ASCII 10) character. When you are finished using the console, you can return to the normal port operation by sending the command EXIT followed by a return or linefeed character.
Interfacing the SX-560 to the OEM Device In order to connect the SX-560 module to your device, you will need to provide either a custom daughtercard or a special cable. Both of these solutions will require a 40-pin female connector on one side, with the appropriate connector(s) for connecting to your device’s circuitry on the other side.

Installing the SX-560 IMPORTANT: In order to prevent flexing of the SX-560 boards during the installation process, you must use spacers. Because of the wide range of possible OEM daughtercard connectors and other design issues, you must provide the three spacers that go between the SX-560 base module board and your daughtercard. The spacers are installed with the SX-560-1701 WLAN model as shown below: Figure 9 Using spacers with SX-560 WLAN model Do not over-tighten the screws during the installation procedure.
Parameter Connector Type Connector Size Nominal Characteristic Impedance Rated Voltage Rated Frequency Contact Resistance Insulation Resistance Antenna Cable Plug For the antenna connector, the SX-560 module uses a Hirose U.FL-R-SMT (CL331-0471-0-01) ultra miniature coaxial receptacle. Note that you must use a special cable to meet FCC regulatory requirements (see next section).
Regulatory Approval Requirements The SX-560 has FCC and IC Modular Approval. This allows you to use the SX-560 in your device without any further agency testing for intentional radiation compliance (FCC Part 15 Subpart C and IC RSS-210). This Limited Modular Approval has the following requirements: 1.
The SX-560 module is equipped with a default configuration that works with most serial-to-Ethernet connections. You can modify the settings to suit your installation requirements. The web browser interface is the recommended method for setting advanced configuration parameters (some of the advanced configuration parameters are not accessible via ExtendView). However, regardless of the method to access the configuration parameters, the method for modifying the parameters is virtually identical.

GPIO direction control Integer read-only This is an integer representing a bit mask indicating which GPIO bits are configured for outputs. Only bits for which the GPIO bit mask is 1 are valid. A 1 indicates the GPIO bit is an output, a 0 indicates an input.
Configuring Serial Port Monitor Alert and Trap Configuration The SX-560 module can be configured to scan and compare the data received on the serial port to user- defined strings. A match with a string can be a source for SNMP traps and/or email alerts. The match strings and corresponding email or web page message strings are configured from the Internal Configuration Console interface.
Setting up Email Alerts and SNMP Traps After you have created the GPIO and/or Serial Port alerts and traps, you can the use the SX-560 internal web pages to set up the recipient Email addresses and/or computer systems. After you have logged into the internal web pages, click Alerts and Traps on the left side of the screen and select either Email Alerts or SNMP IP Traps.
Standard AT Commands Supported The following standard AT commands are interpreted by the device server. The data channel must be in the command mode for commands to be recognized. The data channel will be in command mode upon power up or reset. There are two operating modes for the unit when the AT command option is enabled.
Parameter Echo control ATEn Disconnect ATHn Return to data mode ATOn Quiet mode ATQn Verbose mode ATVn Parameter Console pass through AT#C<string> Console Quiet mode AT#Qn Page 64 Command If n=0, commands are not echoed. If n=1, subsequent commands will be echoed. The default, upon unit reset, is for no echo (ATE0).
Response Codes Table 30 details the response codes for codes other than #C commands. Using ExtendView for Bulk Configuration The ExtendView Utility has a powerful bulk configuration capability that allows you download configuration information to multiple SX-560s simultaneously. This can save you a significant amount of time compared to configuring each SX-560 individually.
