The WiSpan has one setup (serial) port and one Ethernet port for setup and for
connecting an Ethernet device using a network crossover cable. It has an 802.11 b/g
transceiver that connects to another wireless device or to an Access Point (AP).
Following is a description of the serial and Ethernet connectors.
Serial Connector Pinouts
One DB9M DTE setup port provides default settings for RS-232C communications of
9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit (9600, 8, N, 1). The only use of this port is to
configure the unit in Setup Mode.

The back panel of the WiSpan contains a 9-30 VDC power plug and an RJ45 (10/100)
Ethernet port. You may use the Ethernet port to configure the unit as well as to connect a
network-enabled device to the network using a network crossover cable.
