WAPN002 User’s Manual Introduction
Overview
WAPN002 PCI Express Module is designed to provide wireless communication for all wireless device based
systems. It communicates via the standard 802.11a/b/g/n protocols. The WAPN002 uses the AR9280 wireless
chipset from Atheros. This module is connected to the PCI bus through a PCI Express connector and special
circuitry to allow for compatibility with either 3.3V or 5V PCI signaling.
.
Features
Dynamic frequency selection (DFS) in required 5-GHz bands
All-CMOS MIMO solution interoperable with IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n WLANs
2x2 MIMO technology improves effective throughput and range over existing 802.11a/b/g products
Supports spatial multiplexing, cyclic-delay diversity (CDD), and maximal ratio combining (MRC)
2.4/5 GHz WLAN MAC/BB processing
BPSK, QPSK, 16 QAM, 64 QAM, DBPSK,DQPSK, and CCK modulation schemes
Data rates of up to 130 Mbps for 20 MHz channels and 300 Mbps for 40 MHz channels
Wireless multimedia enhancements quality of service support (QoS)
802.11e-compatible bursting
WEP, TKIP, and AES hardware encryption
88-pin, 10 mm x 10 mm LPCC package
Case temperature 85°C

Hardware Installation
The WAPN002 can be installed into all Moxa wireless system board series.
Step for Installation
1. Attach the WLAN antenna to connector J1.
2. If using 2nd WLAN antenna, attach it to connector J2.
3. Install the WAPN002 PCI Express card on the system board. Apply pressure to both bus
connectors and gently press the board onto the stack. The board should slide into the matching
bus connectors. Do not attempt to force the board, as this can lead to bent/broken pins.
4. Screw on the WAPN002 PCI Express card.
5. If any power boards are to be stacked above the WAPN002, install them.
6. Screw on the all the necessary chassis.
Software Installation
After physically installing the WAPN002, your operating system must be configured to recognize
the new system board.
Step for Installation
1. Apply power to the system board.
2. Connect system board and PC with Ethernet cable.
3. Open a browser and type: 192.168.127.253 to open the system login webpage.
4. Login the webpage with default password: root in order to verify that all of the hardware is
install properly.
