RF energy in excess of that established by the FCC RF Exposure Guidelines.
March 31, 2008
Module Hardware Description
ix
Standards
Important:
The unit must be installed in a manner that provides a minimum separation distance
of 8 inches (20 centimeters) or more between the antenna and persons and must not
be co-located or operate in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter in
order to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices.
Important:
To comply with the FCC RF exposure limits and to satisfy the categorical exclusion
requirements for mobile transmitters, the requirements described in the following
section, “Antenna Installation” , must be met.
Antenna Installation
• A minimum separation distance of 8 inches (20 centimeters) must be maintained between the
antenna and all persons.
• When using G24 module: The combined cable loss and antenna gain must not exceed +7.5
dBi (850MHz band). The combined cable loss and antenna gain must not exceed +2.5 dBi
and total system output must not exceed 2.0W EIRP in the PCS (1900) band in order to
comply with the EIRP limit of 24.232 (b). OEM installers must be provided with antenna
installation instruction and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure
compliance.
• When using W24 module for meeting FCC - the combined cable loss and antenna gain must
not exceed 6 dBi (2400 MHz Band) and the total system output must not exceed 1.0W peak
output power 15.247(b) or/and for meeting the EN 300 328 standard - Maximum EIRP
spectral density 10 dBm/MHz. The combined cable loss and antenna gain must not exceed 3
dBi.
Section 15.203 - Antenna Requirement
An intentional radiator shall be designed to ensure that no antenna other than that furnished by the
responsible party shall be used with the device. The use of a permanently attached antenna or of
an antenna that uses a unique coupling to the intentional radiator shall be considered sufficient to
comply with the provisions of this Section. The manufacturer may design the unit so that a
broken antenna can be replaced by the user, but the use of a standard antenna jack or electrical
connector is prohibited. This requirement does not apply to carrier current devices or to devices
operated under the provisions of Sections 15.211, 15.213, 15.217, 15.219, or 15.221. Further, this
requirement does not apply to intentional radiators that must be professionally installed, such as
perimeter protection systems and some field disturbance sensors, or to other intentional radiators
which, in accordance with Section 15.31(d), must be measured at the installation site. However,
the installer shall be responsible for ensuring that the proper antenna is employed so that the
limits in this Part are not exceeded.

Chapter 1: Introduction
W24 is a self contained Wi-Fi module, supporting IEEE 802.11b/g systems in 2.4GHz band. W24
enables IP connectivity to any host device. It is ideal for enabling M2M applications to achieve
secure, high speed throughput and access to IP networks via 802.11b/g wireless LANs or even via
Cellular network when connected to G24 GSM/GPRS module family.
W24 integrates an operating system, drivers and communication stack, wide assortment of
proven security protocols, NATs for management purposes, built-in web server for managing the
device via web and inherent built-in device firewall.
Operation Setup
The W24 supports two operating setup configurations:
• Stand Alone configuration
• Stacked assembly configuration (with G24).
Stand Alone Configuration
Stand Alone configuration consists of a W24 as a stand alone Wi-Fi module that is controlled by
the host.
In this configuration, the W24 70 pin host connector (bottom connector) is used for interfacing
with the W24.
Figure 1-1 below illustrates the W24 Stand Alone configuration.
Figure 1-1: W24 Stand Alone Configuration
Stacked Configuration
Stacked configuration consists of a G24 that is mounted on top of the W24 in a piggy-back
configuration. In this configuration, the W24 70-pin host connector (bottom connector) is used
for interfacing with the host board, while the G24 is connected to the W24 cellular 70-pin
interface connector (top connector).

Power Supply
Power Supply
The W24 power supply must be a single external DC voltage source of 3.3V to 4.2V. In order to
support the stacked configuration, i.e. when G24 cellular module is coupled on the W24 module,
the power supply must be able to sustain the required voltage level during a GSM transmit burst
current surge, which may reach 2.0A.
The W24 interface connector has 8 contacts for the main power supply, as described in Table 2-2.
All these contacts must be used for proper operation.

Power Supply Design
Note: The power design conciderations show maximum requirements for stacked
configuration.
Special care must be taken when designing the power supply of the W24 in stacked configuration.
The single external DC power source indirectly supplies all the digital and analog interfaces, but
also directly supplies the G24 RF power amplifier (PA). Therefore, any degradation in the power
supply performance, due to losses, noises or transients, will directly affect the G24 performance.
The burst-mode operation of the GSM transmission and reception, draws instantaneous current
surges from the power supply, which causes temporary voltage drops of the power supply level.
The transmission bursts consume the most instantaneous current, and therefore cause the largest
voltage drop. If the voltage drops are not minimized, the frequent voltage fluctuations may
degrade the W24 and G24 performance.

When the WAKEUP_N signal is disabled (high) and no data is present on the serial interface or
incoming from the Wi-Fi network, and no internal system task is running, W24 will enter Sleep
mode.
When in Sleep mode, the W24 disables all its serial interfaces (USB and UARTs), and the VBUS
output signal of the cellular connector (stacked configuration).
The W24 continues to respond to both external and internal interrupts.
The following conditions must be met for the W24 to enter Sleep mode:
• WKUPI_N signal is disabled (high).
• AT+ iPSE and AT+ iS102 parameter values are not 0.
• For example:
• AT+ iPSE = 1 activates low power mode after 1 second of inactivity.
• AT+ iPSE = 5 activates low power mode after 5 seconds of inactivity.
• AT+ iPSE = 0 disables low power mode (default).
• AT+ iWLPS parameter value is not 0, so the Wi-Fi chip is in automatic power save mode.
• No host command in currently being processed.
• No WPA process is currently active. For example, scanning or handshake.
• Carrier lost handling is not in process.
• No data is waiting to be transmitted over any of the active sockets.
• No data is waiting to be sent in SerialNET mode.
For more information about AT+ iS100 and AT+ iS102 parameters, see the following sections.
Important:
16
W24 will not enter Sleep mode in any case when data is present on the serial
interface or incoming from the Wi-Fi network, or an internal system task is running.
Only when processing of a pending external or internal system task has completed,
W24 will enter Sleep mode according to the AT+iPSE command settings.
Module Hardware Description

Chapter 2: Hardware Interface Description
Serial Interface During Low Power Mode
During low power mode the W24 serial interfaces are disabled.
The W24 wakes up periodically from low power mode to monitor the network for data. After this
short paging is completed, W24 returns to low power mode. During this short awake period, the
serial interfaces are enabled and communications with the module is possible.
Terminating Low Power Mode
To bring W24 back from the sleep mode, WAKEUP_N needs to be asserted (set low). The W24
Sleep mode is enabled or disabled by the AT+iPSE command. To permanently terminate the W24
Sleep mode, the AT+iPSE=0 command is used. W24 does not enter Sleep mode until an
AT+iPSE>0 command is sent.
Important:
During power save mode the W24 internal clocks and circuits are disabled, in order
to minimize power consumption. When terminating the power saving mode, and
switching to Idle mode, W24 requires a minimal delay time to reactivate and
stabilize its internal circuits before it can respond to application data. This delay is
typically 5 milliseconds. The delay guarantees that data on the serial interface is not
lost or misinterpreted.
Temporary Termination of Low Power Mode
Temporary termination of low power mode occurs when W24 switches from Sleep mode to Idle
mode for a defined period, and then returns automatically to Sleep mode.
Low power mode may be terminated temporarily by several sources, some of which are user
initiated and others are initiated by the system.
Using the WKUPI_N signal
The WKUPI_N signal is an active low input, that is set high by default. By asserting this signal
low the application can wake-up W24 from low power mode and switch to Idle mode.
W24 will remain in Idle mode, awake and fully active, as long as WKUPI_N signal remains low.
When this signal is disabled and set high again, W24 will return to Sleep mode automatically,
according to the AT+iPSE settings (see Figure 2-7).
Figure 2-7: WKUPI_N Signal Operation
March 31, 2008
Module Hardware Description
17
Low Power Mode
The WKUPI_N signal is the recommended method to temporarily wake-up W24 from low power
mode. It provides the application full control of the W24 operating mode and guarantees that data
on the serial interface will not be lost or misinterpreted.
Using the WKUPO_N signal
The WKUPO_N signal is an active-low W24 output that is asserted high by default. By asserting
this signal low, the host can be waked up by W24. WKUPO_N alerts the host that W24 exits from
Sleep mode into Idle mode due to network activity (see Figure 2-8).
Figure 2-8: WKUPO_N Signal Operation
The AT+iS102 parameter defines the delay time, in milliseconds, that W24 waits when in
SerialNET mode, after asserting the WKUPO_N signal, and before sending data on the host
interface. This delay is required to allow the application enough time to re-activate from low
power mode and switch to normal mode. If S102=0, which is the default value, the WKUPO_N
signal and mechanism is disabled. In other words, W24 will never assert the WKUPO_N signal.
AT+iS100 defines the minimal time interval, in milliseconds, that W24 waits before asserting
WKUPO_N after de-asserting it. In other words, W24 will not assert the WKUPO_N signal if the
time that had passed from the previous de-assertion of this signal is not at least the duration
specified by the S100 parameter. This time interval is required to avoid frequent unnecessary
wakeup events and consequent S102 delays.
The S100 parameter is relevant only if S102>0, which enables the WKUPO_N signal operation.
Incoming Network Data
During low power mode, W24 continues monitoring the Wi-Fi network for any incoming data.
When W24 receives an indication from the network that data is available, it automatically wakes
up from low power mode to alert the application. When W24 has completed to process all the
tasks related to the incoming data, it will automatically return to low power mode according to the
AT+iEPS settings.
Depending on the type of network indication and the application settings, W24 may operate in
several methods, which are configurable by AT commands, to alert the application of the
incoming data:
• Enable the WKUPO_N signal to wake-up the application from low power.
• Send data to the application over the serial interface.
Data on the Serial interface
While W24 is temporarily awake in Idle mode, data may be transmitted on the serial interface. In
case data is being transmitted in any direction, W24 will not return to low power mode. This is
18
Module Hardware Description
March 31, 2008
Chapter 2: Hardware Interface Description
regardless of the original wake-up reason or source. W24 will remain awake while data is
transferred.
Only when the serial interface transfer is completed and the data has been processed, W24 will
return to low power mode automatically, according to the AT+iPSE settings (see Figure 2-9).
Figure 2-9: Serial Interface Data
Permanent termination of Low Power Mode
The W24 low power mode is enabled and disabled by the AT+iPSE command.
To permanently terminate the W24 low power mode, the AT+iPSE = 0 command must be used.
Setting AT+iPSE = 0 disables the currently active low power mode and switches W24 to Idle
mode.
W24 will not return to low power mode until an AT+iPSE > 0 commands is set again.
This command can be sent only when the serial interface is active.
In case the serial interface is disabled, it must first be activated before sending this command. To
reactivate the serial interface, a temporary termination of the low power mode is required, as
described in “Temporary Termination of Low Power Mode” on page 17.
Following the temporary low power mode termination, the serial interface will activate and the
AT+iPSE = 0 command can be received by W24.
Deep Sleep Mode
In case that W24 cannot locate an active access point or cannot register to it, W24 will enter the
Deep Sleep Mode.
During Deep Sleep Mode, network connection does not exist. W24 will periodically come out of
the Deep Sleep Mode, to attempt to locate APs. If the search is not successful, the module will
return to the Deep Sleep Mode.
The time between consecutive attempts to locate an AP is set by the AT+iWLSI command.

Serial Interfaces
Serial Interfaces
W24 includes three completely independent serial communications interfaces, which may be
used by the application for several purposes (see Figure 2-10).
Figure 2-10: Serial Interfaces Block Diagram
Primary UART (UART1)
The W24 primary UART is a standard 8-signal bus. The primary UART is used for all the
communications with W24 - AT+i commands interface, Wi-Fi data, and G24- AT command
Interface (stacked configuration), programming and software upgrades.
The UART signals are active low CMOS level signals. For standard RS232 communications with
a PC, an external transceiver is required.
W24 is defined as a DCE device, and the user application is defined as the DTE device. These
definitions apply for the UART signals naming conventions, and the direction of data flow, as
described in Figure 2-11.
Figure 2-11: UART1 Interface Signals
20
Module Hardware Description
March 31, 2008
Chapter 2: Hardware Interface Description
The W24 primary UART supports baud rates 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200,
230400, as well as the extended high speed rates: 1Mbps, 1.5Mbps and 3Mbps. Auto baud rate
detection is supported for baud rates up to 115200 bps. All flow control handshakes are
supported: hardware, software, or none. Parity bit and Stop bit definitions are also supported. The
UART default port configuration is 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity, with hardware flow
control and auto baud rate detect enabled.
Primary UART is defined for 3 different HW models: standard, stand alone and JAVA models.
In the standard model, Primary UART is connected directly to W24 processor. 'AT+i' standard
command will be executed by the W24, while 'AT' commands that are for the G24 primary UART
(stacked configuration), will be diverted by the W24 processor to the G24 interface connector,
and will be executed by the G24.
In the JAVA model, where the G24 JAVA model function as W24 Host application, all UART
commands will be diverted to the G24 interface connector (by different HW wiring), and the G24
will execute them.
Important:
The W24 UART will not send data over the serial interface in case the DTR_N
and/or RTS_N input signals are disabled (set high). Therefore, regardless of the
handshake method, it is still required to enable these signals for proper operation, by
asserting them low.
Note: Add a pull-up resistors (22-100K) on all UART input signals that can be left in an
undefined state (Hi-Z). The resistors should pull to the VREF voltage level.
Secondary UART (UART2)
W24 incorporates Secondary UART interface intended to support G24 UART2 interface, in
stacked configuration. The interface consists of the following pins (see Table 2-4):

Reset
The RESET_N output signal indicates the W24's operating status. This signal is set high after
power up, when W24 is operating. It is set low when W24 is powered off.
When the RESET_N signal is low, the W24 interface signals are disabled and do not represent
any valid data or state. Furthermore, any input signals connected to the W24 interface must be
disabled (tri-state) or set low when RESET_N is low.
VREF Reference Regulator
The W24 incorporates a regulated voltage output, VREF. The regulator provides a 2.8V output
for use by the customer application. This regulator can source up to 100 mA of current to power
any external digital circuits. VREF voltage is present whenever the W24 is powered up,
regardless of it's mode of operation.
March 31, 2008
Module Hardware Description
27
Controls and Indicators Interface
Important:
The VREF regulator is powered from the W24's main power supply, and therefore
any current sourced through this regulator originates from the W24 VCC supply.
The overall VCC current consumed by W24 is directly affected by the VREF
operation. The W24 current consumption rises with respect to the current drawn
from VREF.
Table 2-13 gives the VREF specifications.

Wakeup
For a detailed description regarding Wake up signal interface, please refer to “Low Power Mode”
on page 16, paragraphs “Using the WKUPI_N signal” and “Using the WKUPO_N signal” .
Antenna Detection
The W24 incorporates an internal antenna detection circuit, which senses the physical connection
and removal of a Wi-Fi antenna, as well as the cellular antenna, in case that a cellular module like
G24 is stacked on the W24.
In case of stacked configuration (W24 + G24), a removal of a single or both of the modules
antennas, will cause the antenna detect indicator to be set Low.
The antenna detection state is reported to the application through the ANT_DET output signal,
and may also be queried by the AT+iRP19 command.
The detection circuit senses DC resistance to ground on the G24 antenna connector.
A DC resistance below 100kohm (+10%) is defined as a valid antenna connection, and the
ANT_DET output signal is set high.
GPRS/EGPRS Detection
This signal is routed from the 70-pin host connector to G24 70-pin connector via W24. It is not
internally connected to W24 circuits. If the W24 will be used as stand alone only, this signal pin
should be left open.

function as Bluetooth coexistence control/indicators for the W24 to use with a Bluetooth interface
in order to avoid RF collision between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi transmission. GPIO8 is not used, and
should be left open.
In stacked configuration, all GPIO signals are routed from G24 to host, and are used as GPIO
signals for G24 user application.

Antenna Interface
The W24 antenna connector is the RF interface to the WLAN network.
The antenna interface consist of an MMCX type connector, which has impedance matched to 50Ω
at the relevant WLAN 802.11 b/g frequencies.
The antenna or antenna application must be installed properly to achieve best performance.
Table 2-15 gives the antenna interface specifications.

It is the Integrator's responsibility to design the antenna or antenna assembly used with the W24.
This will highly affect the RF performance of the W24 (signal quality, current consumption etc.).
The following guidelines should be followed:
• Make sure that the antenna or antenna assembly matches the Antenna Interface
Specifications.
• Use low loss RF cable and connectors keeping cable runs to a minimum.
• In order to prevent mutual interference between the GSM and the WLAN antennas in stacked
configuration, a minimum distance that provides a 30dB isolation is required. To achieve the
required 30dB isolation between the antennas, a distance of about 7cm from each other
should be kept when using a monopole isotropic antenna with 0dBi and appropriate return
loss.

unconnected. W24 incorporates the necessary internal circuitry to keep unconnected
signal in their default state. Do not connect any components to, or apply any voltage
on, signals that are not used by the application.
Important:
It is recommended to place a pull-down resistor in the customer application, on the
IGN signal. A 100 kohm resistor, or less, is acceptable.
Important:
Signals that are defined as "Do Not Use", or DNU, must remain externally
unconnected in any case. These signals are reserved for future use.

Chapter 4: Mechanical Specifications
W24 Mounting
The W24 incorporates 2 mechanical holes for installing the module onto the application board.
The holes are 2.4 millimeters in diameter, which accommodates several types of mechanical
elements.
Several mechanical approaches may be applied to mount and fasten W24 to the application board.
Using M2 screws with suitable washers to mount the module onto spacers, a bracket or chassis is
a recommended design.
Special attention must be paid to the area surrounding the W24 mounting holes. A grounding pad
of 4.4 millimeters in diameter surrounds these holes. The diameter and area of this pad must not
be exceeded by any mechanical or electrical element.
Several electrical components, which are not shielded, are located near the holes.
These components must not be in contact with the mounting elements or with other parts of the
application board, and care must be taken to avoid any damage.
Figure 4-5 depict the W24 mounting area.
Figure 4-5: W24 Mounting Area
W24 Stand Alone Mounting
The holes are used for mechanical mounting of W24 to the application board but also for
grounding support. Using conductive elements to install W24, significantly improves the overall
grounding of the module and therefore improves the W24 performance and stability.
It is required to use screws or other mechanical elements to fasten W24 to the application board,
but it is highly recommended to use conductive elements to improve the module's performance.
The preferred mounting screw head types are:
• "Allen" head with a champer - the best choice.
• "Star" head - good.
• "Philips" head - may cause damage to nearby components.
Recommended screw type for static products: M2x4, PAN, SST
