6. Theory of Operation
6.1.
General
The Wi.232 module is one of a family of WiSE™ (Wireless Serial Engine) modules. A WiSE™
module combines a state-of-the-art wideband/FSK data transceiver and a high-performance
protocol controller to create a complete embedded wireless communications link in a tiny IC-style
package.

The Wi.232EUR module has a UART-type serial interface and contains special application
software to create a transparent UART-to-antenna wireless solution capable of direct wire
replacement in most embedded RS-232/422/485 applications.
NOTE: Although the module is capable of supporting the typical serial communications required
by RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 networks, it is not compatible with the electrical interfaces for
these types of networks. The module has CMOS inputs and outputs and would require an
appropriate converter for the particular type of network it is connected to.
