Firmware, including the TCP/IP stack, is pre-loaded in the internal flash memory. Stations and
access points are written in Regions 1 and 2, respectively, making it easy to change operating
modes by switching the FLASH_SEL pin from High to Low and vice versa.
The firmware written in the flash memory includes protocols essential for wireless LAN
communication, such as WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and WPS. In addition, the pre-loaded
TCP/IP stack enables both wireless LAN and network processing, making it easy to add IP
communication to sets that previously could not support wireless LAN due to insufficient
microcontroller processing capability or other restrictions.

A dedicated 2.54mm-pitch conversion
board is available, while adding an
optional external antenna improves
communication distance and enables
mounting in sets with metallic housings
for broader applicability.
The BP3599 takes the IEEE802.11b/g/n BP3591 wireless LAN module with built-in antenna and flashmemory. In
addition, the antenna design is identical to the BP3591, eliminating the need for high-frequency circuitry, and
the BP3599 is pin-compatible with the BP3591, making replacement easy. The internal flash memory comes
pre-loaded with firmware including TCP/IP stack, and the module is already certified* for use in Japan and the US,
enabling implementation possible.
