BreezeCOM AP-DS.11

Overview
"Parrot 11Mbps" and "MAC V3.2" is silkscreened on the board.
 * This access point is a No Wires Needed Parrot 1100, like the Compaq WL400.

This device is using a VLSI VPS10101-1 (Ruby II General-Purpose PCMCIA controller w/ 32-bit ARM6 core PR) and an AMD Am79C961AKC ISA Ethernet controller.
 * The VLSI CPU is presumably handling the MAC + AP functions of this board.

Per the FCC parts list..
 * the VLSI VPS10101-1 is marked as the CPU
 * an Xilinx Spartan XCS10 (XCS10-3VQ100C) FPGA, not visible on the below board scan - presumably under the RF shield
 * an additional 128k x 8 SRAM (UMC UM611024BSW-15), which is not visible on the below board scan.
 * the RFIC collection is a motley collection Harris's PRISM (the original) ICs
 * HFA3860 (IV) - BBP (BaseBand Processor)
 * HFA3724 (IN) - QAM (Modulator/Demodulator)
 * HFA3624 (IA) - RFIC (Prescalar + IF/RF)
 * HFA3524 (IA) - DS (Digital Synthesizer)
 * HFA3424 (IB) - LNA (Low Noise Amp)
 * HFA3925 (IA96) - PA (Power Amp)

The power adapter included with the device is a Sunpower MA15-090 (9V, 1.67A).

Capab/Config

 * The device supports 40-bit WEP encryption.
 * There is no HTTP interface on these devices.
 * Configuration is meant to be done through SNMP using NWN's configuration software.
