The ZED WLAN Shield

As determined from

Table 2

on page 17, the Zilog Wide/Local Area Network (WLAN)

Shield is stackable with the WoS Shield, but is not stackable with the Z-PAN Shield or
another WLAN Shield. This shield uses a Roving Networks (2.4 GHz) WiFi RN-171 mod-
ule, which conforms to the 802.11 b/g standard. The ZED WLAN Shield is shown in
Figure 31.

A schematic diagram of the ZED WLAN Shield can be found in

Appendix A
