WARNING!
Abnormal Conditions
Should the SmartHub become hot, start to emit smoke or a strange odor, immediately turn
off the power and contact your original dealer or authorized service provider. Continued
usage is dangerous and may result in fire or electric shock.
WARNING!
Foreign Objects
Avoid having foreign matter or objects enter into any opening of the SmartHub. This could
result in fire or electric shock. Immediately turn off the power and contact your original
dealer or an authorized service provider.
WARNING!
Location and Physical Damage
If the SmartHub falls and is damaged, turn off the power immediately and contact the
original dealer or authorized service provider. Continuing to use the device in this state or
locating the device in extremely humid or dusty areas is dangerous and may result in fire or
electric shock.
WARNING!

Wireless Communication
Wireless LAN
Overview
The SmartHub OBC provides a Wireless Local Area Network (IEEE 802.11) module.
Wireless LAN communication is especially suited for high-speed data transfer over the air, when a
Wireless LAN hotspot infrastructure exists. For applications that require large data transactions, Wireless
LAN is the most economical way to implement the solution.
Bluetooth communication is used for Bluetooth-enabled connections with peripherals such as an audio
headset and printer.
Wireless LAN Operation
The WLAN module is compliant with the IEEE 802.11 b/g/n standard and uses DSSS (Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum), OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing), DBPSK, DQPSK, CCK, and QAM
baseband modulation technologies.
In addition to supporting WPA / WPA2, WEP 64-bit, and 128-bit encryption, this module supports the
following:
IEEE’s 802.11i security standard through the implementation of AES (Advanced Encryption Standard),
CCMP (Counter Mode CBC-MAC Protocol), and WEP with TKIP security mechanisms.
IPsec with DES / 3DES / ASE encryption and MD5 / SHA-1 authentication
(the AW-GH381 supports) 802.11e QoS (Quality of Service) for voice applications
Bluetooth 4.1

accelerometer is an electromechanical device used to measure acceleration forces. Such forces may be
static like the continuous force of gravity or, as is the case with many mobile devices, dynamic to sense
movement or vibrations.
Acceleration is the measurement of the change in velocity or speed divided by time. For example, a car
accelerating from a standstill to 60 mph in six seconds is determined to have an acceleration of 10 mph
per second (60 divided by 6).
