Installing the SX-560-2701 Module

To install the SX-560-2701 module in the SX-560-6900 Evaluation Daughtercard:

 Using the 40-pin OEM interface header (JP2), plug the SX-560-2701 Module in the SX-560-6900

Evaluation Daughtercard and secure with screws, nuts and spacers. The longer screw (14mm) and

short spacer (2.5mm) are used with the hole in the SDIO radio card which lines up with the

corresponding hole in the SX-560 main board. Important: The spacers MUST be installed to

avoid potential damage to the boards.

 The Evaluation Daughtercard includes on-board chip antennas. Use the included U.FL to U.FL

cables. Plug the main antenna cable into the Primary Antenna Connector on the card (see Figure 3).

Plug the auxiliary antenna cable into the Auxiliary Antenna Connector (the auxiliary antenna improves

radio reception, but is not required for operation).

 If you are using the on-board chip antennas, connect the other end of the antenna cable(s) into either

of the built-in chip antenna connectors (J7 and J8) as shown in figure 3.

 Connect one serial null-modem cable from the Serial Port 3 DB-9 connector (J5) on the Evaluation

Daughtercard to a serial port on a personal computer or laptop (the computer’s serial port must be set

to 115.2Kbps, no parity, no flow control, and 8-bit character size). The PC or laptop acts as a console

port for command line configuration and monitoring.

 If you want to use an Ethernet LAN connection for the initial configuration of the SX-560 (recommended),

plug a category 5 Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 jack. The Ethernet interface has Auto-MDIX that

automatically detects and configures itself for either a straight-thru or crossover Ethernet cable.

Monitoring Module Status

You can monitor the module status using the yellow, green and orange LED status indicators on the

Evaluation Daughtercard. Table 2 defines the default functions of the LED status indicators.
