SX-560-2701
802.11a/b/g Wireless Solutions for OEM Embedded Applications
The Silex SX-560 embedded Module is an intelligent and cost
effective solution that supports 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g
wireless networking. Its low power consumption and a compact form
factor make it ideal for battery powered portable devices, but its
extensive capabilities make it suitable for almost any embedded
WLAN applications.

factor make it ideal for battery powered portable devices, but its
extensive capabilities make it suitable for almost any embedded
WLAN applications.
The SX-560 handles all of the TCP/IP and 802.11 network processing,
so it provides a fast and easy way to add wireless networking capabi-
lities to your device. Because it offloads the network processing, the
processor on your device operates more efficiently and there is little
or no change required to your code. As a result, you increase your
bottom line by reducing your time to market, making your products
more competitive, and minimizing the need for in-house wireless
expertise.

Features
Low Power Consumption.
The SX-560 uses a minimum amount of power during transmitting
and receiving, and its power management reduces power usage
during periods of inactivity.

Linux Operating System with User Programmability.
The SX-560 uses the Linux operating system and is designed to allow
users to easily add new features. With a 200MHz 32-bit processor,
16MB of RAM and 8MB of flash memory, the SX-560 has plenty of
capacity to handle complex user applications.

Two Serial Ports Plus Dedicated Console Port.
The SX-560 provides two serial ports that can be used to connect to
RS-232 or UART interfaces in your device. These ports can operate at
speeds up to 921Kbps with modem controls. A third serial port is also
included for use as a dedicated console port.

Low Power Consumption, Linux Programmable and Enterprise Security
Highly Secure.
The SX-560 includes enterprise-level security features including
access control lists, complete protocol and application
enable/disable control, read and write configuration passwords, and
SNMP community name configuration. It features the most extensive
wireless security in the industry, including 802.1x Extensible Authen-
tication Protocol (EAP) with all major EAP types and WPA2, WPA2-
PSK, WPA, WPA-PSK, and WEP wireless security.

Enterprise Management.
silex’s ExtendView management software provides advanced
features such as the ability to monitor, configure and update multiple
SX-560 modules simultaneosly over the network. Management
capabilities are also available via TELNET, SNMP, web browser, and a
dedicated serial console port. For added control, AT commands and
console commands can also be sent via the two serial ports.
