• The RS-232 serial interface is capable of 115 kbps operation, and is provided for
the purpose of configuring the AP through a terminal interface and connectivity to
other external devices such as analog modems. The AP software provides a
selectable serial interface data format to allow selection of the number of start,
stop, data, and parity bits. By default the serial interface is set to 9600 baud, 8
data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. Use the serial cable provided by Atheros to
attach to a terminal or PC for AP configuration.
• The RJ-45 Ethernet jack is provided for 10/100 Mbps connectivity to a wired
Ethernet LAN. The Ethernet subsystem is based on a single chip 10/100 Mbps
integrated PCI Ethernet Media Access Controller (MAC) + PHY (DP83815) from
National Semiconductor Corporation.
• An on-board MAX6713 reset circuit provides reset to processor, memory, and
PCI devices. A manual push-button reset option provides easy generation of the
reset signal without cycling power to the AP. A 3.3 V power supply is provided
to power the AP.
• A 3.3 V power supply is provided and is plugged into the power supply connector
of the AP.
Installation Note:
• To ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, the antenna used for
