For above networking, HF-A11x module works as STA
Firmware is Z-Version,and module
configured as bridge mode. When module connect to AP, all devices connected to module
Ethernet interface will get assigned IP address from AP (For example: 192.168.1.101).For
module works as bridge mode, it can be treated as a transparent device and PC1, PC2 can
communicate without any limit. But in this networking, HF-A11x module needs assign a static
LAN IP address (For example: 192.168.1.10) if module also needs communication with AP or
configuration through web page.
2.7. Work Mode
HF-A11x modules provide two kinds of work mode: Transparent transmission mode and
Agreement Transmission mode. Transparent transmission mode achieves a plug and play serial
data port, and reduces user complexity. Agreement Transmission mode can keep 100% accurate
data transmitting. User can configure dedicated work mode base on actual requirement, and
save the configuration information to the flash of HF-A11x, then module will go into the appointed
work mode after power up.
For a module which already finished parameters setting, it will try to connect a wireless network
and server with these parameters after power up, and serial interface is also active with pre-
configured parameters. Then all the data is transferred directly between serial interface and Wifi
interface without any interpreted.
The parameters which need to configure include:
¾ Wireless Network Parameters
Wireless Network Name
SSID
Security Mode
Encryption Key
¾ TCP/UDP Linking Parameters
Protocol Type
Link Type
Server or Client
Target Port ID Number
Target Port IP Address
¾ Serial Port Parameters
Baud Rate
Data Bit
Parity (Check) Bit
Stop Bit
Hardware Flow Control
¾ Work Mode Selection
Transparent transmission or Agreement Transmission mode
Transparent transmission demo as showing in the following figure, a HF-A11x module can be
taken as a virtual serial line when UART interface working in transparent transmission mode. And
user device will realize wireless data transmition almost without any changes.
