Connecting an xPico Wi-Fi Device

Table 1: xPico Wi-Fi Embedded Device Server Components

Component	Description
xPico Serial Number	Also the module MAC Address. The last six digits are used in the
	default SSID for Soft AP mode.
u.FL Socket	Used to connect either the SMA antenna cable or the alternative
	PCB strip antenna to the xPico Wi-Fi Module.
SMA	If using External antenna attach at this point.
SW3	Power switch, turns power on and off to the Evaluation PCB.
J5	Mini-USB socket used for connecting power to the Evaluation Kit or
	to connect to the xPico module serial port 2 via an on-board USB to
	serial converter
JP19 (pin 1 +, pin 2 GND)	Battery Port (2.2 to 5.5V) provides power to the xPico Wi-Fi Module
	via on board DC to DC converter.
J3	DB9 for Serial Port 1
JP11 and JP12	Leave JP11 and JP12 open for RS232 mode on serial port 1. Install
	jumper on JP11 for RS422 (4-wire) mode. Install JP11 and JP12 for
	RS485 (2 wire mode)
JP17	Serial Port 1 break-out header. Leave jumpers installed to route
	module signals to J3 DB9 serial port
JP18	Serial Port 2 RS232 header. Pin 1 TX(out), pin 2 GND, pin 3 RX(in)
JP8 and JP9	Jumpers for serial port 2 selection, install positions 1 to 2 to route
	serial port 2 to JP18 RS232 port. Install positions 2 to 3 to route
	serial port 2 to J5 USB to serial converter port.
J6	USB device port (xPico Wi-Fi only)
J2	RJ45 Ethernet Socket. This is not used with the xPico Wi-Fi module,
	it can be used if a xPico serial to Ethernet Device Server module is
	used in place of the xPico Wi-Fi
JP14, JP15	Voltage test pins. Monitor only. JP14 is 3.3V and JP15 is Ground

Connecting Power to the xPico Wi-Fi Evaluation Module

There are five methods of providing power to the Evaluation Kit PCB. Use one of the methods below.

1.Connect the provided universal power supply with mini-USB connector to J5.

2.Connect the USB to serial converter port J5 to a PC USB host port

3.Connect the USB device port J6 to a PC USB Host Port (xPico Wi-Fi only)

4.Connect a battery pack or external power supply (2.2V to 5.5V) between JP19 pin 1

(+) and JP19 pin 2 (-)

5.Connect Ethernet Port to a Power over Ethernet complaint PSE source (xPico module only)
