Chapter 4. Sample Application Demonstrations
The development environment is equipped with three out-of-the-box WiFi
demonstrations to showcase the MRF24WB0MA/B or MRF24WG0MA/B Wi-Fi
®
module. More demonstrations and features may be added in the future.
These demonstrations are illustrated based on Microsoft Windows
®
OS and the
Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless-G Broadband Router. The concepts remain the same for
different OS or router.
The following network types (MY_DEFAULT_NETWORK_TYPE) are supported, as
indicated in the WF_Config.h file:
• CFG_WF_INFRASTRUCTURE
• CFG_WF_ADHOC
• CFG_WF_P2P (applicable only for MRF24WG0MA/B)
• CFG_WF_SOFT_AP (applicable only for MRF24WG0MA/B)
4.1 BASIC DEMONSTRATION APPLICATIONS
• TCPIP – Demo App
• TCPIP – WiFi Console
• TCP/IP – WiFi EZConfig
Detailed information is available in the Microchip TCPIP Stack Help.chm help file,
which is part of the TCP/IP Stack source code releases.
4.1.1 TCPIP – Demo App
A powerful WiFi demonstration that shows a web server that enables you to perform
many application level activities such as send and process form data, send emails,
upload files and so on. This demonstration highlights many applications that are
supported by the Microchip TCP/IP stack and how they can be used with WiFi.
Supported network types:
• CFG_WF_INFRASTRUCTURE
• CFG_WF_ADHOC
• CFG_WF_P2P (applicable only for MRF24WG0MA/B)
In addition, this demonstration is used to showcase the two WPS connection methods:
• WF_SECURITY_WPS_PUSH_BUTTON
• WF_SECURITY_WPS_PIN
Note: SoftAP, WiFi Direct (P2P) and WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) are only sup-
ported by stack version v5.42 and newer version.
