Introduction
The EasyWiFi extension module allows you to add extra functionality to your
EasyST unit:
WiFi capabilities based on 802.11b and 802.11g
Four Ethernet LAN switches (10/100BaseT)
DC power
The EasyST is easily plugged onto the EasyWiFi extension module by means of a
30-pin IDC connector.
The EasyWiFi is powered by an AC/DC adapter that is plugged directly into a
standard electrical wall outlet (110/220 VAC). In addition, the adapter's plug prongs
can be easily removed, and then replaced to suite electrical sockets of the country in
which the unit is being installed.
