RS-232 interface, but can not accommodate the standard
WaveLAN PC Card and/or ISA card solutions.
Two models of the WaveLAN/EC-S device are available:
■
WaveLAN/EC (Ethernet Converter) - supports an Ethernet
10Base-T interface with RJ45 connector (twisted pair).
■
WaveLAN/EC-S (Ethernet & Serial Converter) - supports both
10Base-T and an RS-232 serial interface.
This document describes the WaveLAN/EC-S device, a “Click &
Connect” device that does not need any configuration for “out-of-
the box” installation. Connecting the device to a WaveLAN IEEE
Infrastructure (see page 1-6) is as easy as 1,2,3:
1.
Insert a WaveLAN PC Card into the WaveLAN/EC-S device.
2.
Connect the device using either the included serial cable or an
Ethernet cable (not included).
3.
Connect the power cords.
NOTE:
WaveLAN adapter cards are available in various versions
with different pricing. To allow maximum flexibility in
deciding what type of WaveLAN card you wish to use in
combination with your WaveLAN/EC-S device, each
WaveLAN/EC-S kit comes without WaveLAN card.
To use the “Click & Connect” feature, first insert a
WaveLAN card as described in Chapter 2 ”Hardware
Installation”.
