Page 4: Introduction To The Laird Wb50Nbt
The WB50NBT is a fully integrated module with RF shielding and two U.FL type antenna connectors providing two stream MIMO operation for maximum data rate. The Main antenna (for Wi-Fi only) and the Auxiliary antenna (for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) work together with the three-wired coexistence scheme to provide the best coexistence performance. -
Page 5: Additional Required Equipment
1. Using the four nuts provided, attach the four standoffs to the underside corners of the BB40NBT board. 2. Before fitting the WB50NBT to the BB40NBT evaluation board, turn the WB50NBT so that the 120 way is on the underside of the board. -

Figure 3: BB40NBT Evaluation Board Host The WB50NBT is configurable via either the command line or the web-based version of the Laird Configuration Manager (LCM). WebLCM is explained further in Web LCM Linux Platform Application Note which is available from the Documentation tab of the Laird WB50NBT product page. -
Page 7: Initial Serial Communication With The Wb50Nbt
The WebLCM is always available on the Ethernet port – The IP address for this port is provided by the DHCP server to which the WB50NBT is connected Initial Serial Communication with the WB50NBT The following items are used in this section: Qty. -
Page 8: Minicom Setup
When entering the password, don't be alarmed if text or asterisks do not show. This is normal operation in Linux. Assuming all settings have been set properly, you should now be able to communicate with the WB50NBT. The terminal presented now is the Linux shell on board the WB50NBT and behaves likewise. After logging... -
Page 9: Ssh Communication Over Ethernet And Usb Ethernet
Netmask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.3.1 DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 Once the connection to the WB50NBT has been established an ssh client (e.g. putty) can be used on the host to connect to port 22. Ethernet If required, it is possible to connect via ssh to the WB from the host over Ethernet however this first requires modification of the /etc/network/interfaces file on the WB to change the default behavior of the Ethernet port. -

<command> help at the sdc# prompt. To see the status of the WB50NBT, type status at the sdc# prompt. The returned status should resemble the following. -
Page 11: Bluetooth
Bluetooth development quicker and simpler. Users can write a smartBASIC application to perform Bluetooth operations on the WB50NBT. When the WB50NBT powers up, smartBASIC runs as a daemon process which is running a Serial Port Profile to Wi-Fi bridging application named SPPBr. -

Figure 5: SPP to Wi-Fi bridging structure As soon as the WB50NBT has established both of these connections, data coming into either interface is echoed out from the opposite interface. See the WB50 smartBASIC Extensions guide and the WB50NBT Reference Guide WB50NBT for more information. - Page 13 /etc/ssl/certs directory fw-5.bin Symbolic link to the AR6004 firmware. /lib/firmware/ath6k/AR6004/hw3.x fw_v3.5.0.10006.bin The AR6004 firmware Americas: +1-800-492-2320 Embedded Wireless Solutions Support Center: Europe: +44-1628-858-940 http://ews-support.lairdtech.com Hong Kong: +852 2923 0600 www.lairdtech.com/wi-fi © Copyright 2016 Laird.
