1 OVERVIEW
This Dev Kit consists of a WLM400/WLM402 WISM+ (Wi-Fi Intelligent Serial Module) wireless module mounted to a
support board (Dev Kit) which allows you to connect a PC to the WISM+ using your choice of interface. A
configuration/performance tool (WIF.exe) is provided so you can set up custom WISM+ configurations, then and
measure the performance of the WISM+ wireless module from Laird Technologies.
The download and installation of this package provides you with the following executables
The download and installation of this package provides you with the following documentation
The download and installation of this package also provides you the SDK (Software Developer Kit) source code
This source code (written in c) represents a working sample of how to communicate with the WISM+.
Use the “
found at the following path…
There are several choices for which interface to use between the PC and the Dev Kit, but the easiest to use right out of
the box, is the USB. This is the suggested way to get started…
