Block diagram

The above diagram shows the block diagram of the communication module. The module has one RJ45 socket and one I/O connector.

The RJ45 socket has 2 build in status LEDs which shows the Link and Activity status of the Gigabit ethernet connection.

Inside the module, there is a mPCIe slot where the AcroPack module can be plugged-in. All the I/O connections of the AcroPack module are made available through a 68-pin I/O connector. Please check the user manual of the AcroPack module to see which connections are available as this will depend of the AcroPack module.
