WiFi Wildcard


This document describes how to use the EtherSmart and WiFi Wildcards. The EtherSmart Wildcard provides wired Ethernet connectivity, and the WiFi Wildcard provides wireless 802.11b/g connectivity. These two distinct Wildcards are implemented using similar hardware, and a common software driver supports both.

  • The EtherSmart Wildcard™ implements a hardware/software Ethernet interface that provides communications between your instrument and other computers or peripherals via a Local Area Network (LAN) using the standard packet-based Ethernet signaling protocol. Simply plug an Ethernet cable into the Wildcard via the standard RJ-45 Ethernet connection. It is based on the Lantronix XPort ethernet server device.
  • The WiFi Wildcard™ implements a wireless interface that enables communications between your instrument and other computers or wireless access points via a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) using the standard 802.11b/g packet-based protocol. It is based on the Lantronix WiPort Wifi server device.

Built-in software lets you send emails from the instrument, serve out static and dynamic web pages to your PC-based browser, and implement serial data exchanges with peripheral devices (this is known as "Serial Tunneling"). These tiny 2" by 2.5" boards are members of the Wildcard™ series that connects to Mosaic controllers, and are ideal for web-enabled instrumentation, automation and data acquisition applications.
