User Manual
802.15.4 Transceiver Module
Overview
IWT’s Module is a 2.4 GHz transceiver
module that offers an embedded 16-bit
RISC CPU and is designed to comply with
IEEE’s 802.15.4 physical layer
specifications. The module offers the user a
compact size, ruggedized connections, and
an on-board antenna. The module is
designed to work with your sensor
applications by offering UART
communications, 3 general-purpose I/O
ports, one 12-bit Analog-to-Digital port, and
a SPI compatible interface to operate a
peripheral device. The module also offers a
6MHz and a 32.768kHz watch crystal for
your timing needs.
The AXON™ Module is Synaptrix™ ready
and ZigBee™ ready. Synaptrix™ is IWT’s
mesh-networking software stack.
Interfaced to the programmer board, the
module offers a practical design
environment that allows for fast debug and
easy access to the programmable
interfaces.

FCC Statement for OEM Integrators
AXON™ Module Use for maintaining RF exposure
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
1. Connection to the AXON™ Module should always be made through the 20 pin header.
Connection to the AXON™ Module any other way not expressed in this documentation or
approved by Innovative Wireless Technologies, Inc. will void the user’s ability to operate this
device under the FCC certification.
The header on the AXON™ Module is a SAMTEC FTMH-110-02-L-DH, and mate connection is
CLM-110-02-L-D.
2. The AXON™ Module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna.
3. The AXON™ Module is approved using the FCC “Unlicensed modular transmitter
approval” method. Therefore the AXON™ Module must only be used with the originally
approved antenna(s).
As long as the 3 conditions above are met, further transmitter testing will not be required.
However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional
compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example, digital device
emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example certain, co-
location with another transmitter, or different antenna), then the FCC authorization is no longer
considered valid and the FCC ID can not be used on the final product. In these circumstances,
the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter)
and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
OEM End Product Labeling
The final end product that has integrated the AXON™ Module must be labeled in a visible area
with the following: Contains TX FCC ID: SP8-IWTBB1142
IMPORTANT NOTE TO OEM
The end user of the OEM’s product, with incorporated AXON™ Module, should NOT be provided
any instructions on how to remove or install the AXON™ Module.

The AXON™ Module Interface (Getting Started)
Voltage must be supplied to the AXON™ Module via pins 19 and 20 on the interface header. The
AXON™ Module regulates its voltage on board, but must be supplied a voltage between 3.3-6
Volts. The table below outlines the 20 pin interface to the AXON™ Module. The mechanical
diagram that follows indicates where pin-1 starts.

13 SPI_CLK 14 GPIO3
15 GPIO5 16 GPIO4
17 A0 18 IWT
19 GND 20 V_Batt
Once power is applied to pins 19 and 20, primary communication through the AXON™ Module
will take place on pins 6 and 8. These pins are the buffered UART interface to the Module. This
UART interface is 3.3-Volt logic only. To communicate with a PC and RS232 Translator must be
used on the customer’s end device. The AXON™ Programmer Board, used for prototype
development, translates the UART signaling to PC levels. Innovative Wireless Technologies’
document “AXON™-Synaptrix™ Network Interface Specification” outlines the communication
protocol utilized on the UART plus the over the air communication protocols for your peer-to-peer
and mesh network configurations.
Once the UART link has been correctly initialized, your device can then utilize the AXON™
Module to communicated information wirelessly to other AXON™ Modules. This allows the end
user to quickly setup communication links between two or multiple devices. If communication
becomes inoperable, momentarily pulling pin 11 (RESET) low, 0-Volts, will reset the AXON™
Module.
