The FWA-12 provides capability to use our WifiTrax Workshop Windows software to update the firmware in your WifiTrax module. The module contains a USB/Serial adapter chip mounted on a PCB and with grabber leads attached. The grabber leads are attached to holes in your WifiTrax module to communicate with the serial interface of the on-boad microprocessor. Attaching the module forces the microprocessor into boot mode which allows loading of firmware updates from WifiTrax using our WifiTrax Workshop software. The FWA-12 also provides a switch that will force the module to power on.
The FWA-12 is intended to be used with the WNI-32 NCE Pro Cab Wi-Fi Interface Module. Normally the power of the WNI-32 is controlled by its firmware but, when the firmware is being updated, the power must be forced on by the FWA-12.
