Chapter 1:About the Module
The Digi Connect Wi-Wave module is an 802.11b/g WLAN communications module
for use in embedded applications. The module is a single circuit card packaged in a
PCI Express Mini Card form factor, and supports all the RF, analog, and digital
circuitry necessary to implement WLAN functionality. Using Digi’s baseband
processor technology, this module is the ideal choice for embedded applications
requiring long-term product availability in conjunction with reliability and easy
design integration.
The primary interface to the module is through a standards-compliant PCI Express
Mini Card edge connector, using a USB 2.0 full speed/high speed link for
communication with the host system.
Note: The Digi Connect Wi-Wave 802.11 b/g edge connector pinout is compliant
with the PCI Express Mini Card Electromechanical Specification, Revision 1.1
(March 28, 2005) with this exception: the Digi Connect Wi-Wave 802.11 b/g
has a 7-wire Dynamic C interface mapped to pins 37, 39, 41, 43, 47, 49, and
51.
The Digi Connect Wi-Wave 802.11 b/g module also provides a dual diversity antenna
option through two on-board U.FL connectors, which allow for cabling to remote 2.4
GHz antennas.
