2.8 Wireless Connections 

The following section describes the wireless modules on the circuit. 

2.8.1 USB Bluetooth Module 

An integrated Bluetooth module (not available on the AFL-408B and AFL-W410A) is 

connected to ICH7 chipset through the USB bus. The AFL-4 Series-N270 Bluetooth 

module enables wireless communications between the AFL-4 Series-N270 and various 

peripheral devices through a Bluetooth network. The peripheral devices may include: 

 Headsets 

 Barcode 

readers 

 PDA 

 Printers 

 Cell 

phones 

 

Keyboard and mouse 

The technical specifications of the Bluetooth module are listed in the Appendix. 

2.8.2 Wireless Ethernet 

An integrated 802.11 b/g/n wireless LAN module and PIFA antenna on the AFL-4 

Series-N270 ensure an uninterrupted wireless connection. The wireless LAN module is 

preinstalled in the Mini-PCIe slot. PIFA antennas can receive high quality, uniform signals 

in any location from all directions without any degradation of signal or impedance and are 

the most efficient antennas on the market.
