The module is programmed with the accompanied software dependant on requirements either via a virtual COM port or in ad-hoc mode.

The WiFi MultiCom can be used for different applications e.g.:

• Serial point to point connection (RS232, RS422 or RS485)
• Wireless RS232 / TCP/IP Bridge
• Wireless diagnostics and programming connections
• Potential separation between interfaces
• Controlling an diagnostics over three I/Os
