Chap te r 1 Introduction
The W300 series is a line of wireless RISC-based embedded computers that features 802.11a/b/g
WLAN, RS-232/422/485 serial ports, and an Ethernet port in a small, rugged chassis. In addition,
all models feature an SD slot, and the W341 features two USB 2.0 hosts and one relay output
channel.
Your W300 series embedded computer is ideal for diverse, machine-to-machine embedded
applications. It enables wireless operation for traditionally wired networks and serial devices. The
W300 series not only provides transparent data transfers, but also numeric computing, protocol
conversion, data processing and even data encryption. You will find it easier to build embedded
systems for distributed peer-to-peer communication, turn wired devices into wireless devices, and
introduce higher mobility and more intelligence to your system. In this chapter, you will learn
about the capabilities of this embedded computer.
