Introduction

This manual is intended to familiarize prospective customers with Connect One’s
Instant Internet Evaluation Board II-EVB-361MW. The II-EVB-361MW is an
evaluation platform for the Secure Socket iWiFi™ Internet Controller. Secure Socket
iWiFi is a secure serial-to-Wireless LAN device server module that also acts as a
bridge to connect serial devices to 802.11b/g wireless LANs. Secure Socket iWiFi fits
into a socket form-factor and utilizes Connect One’s iChip CO2128SEC Internet
communications coprocessor and the AT+i™ command set, a powerful set of Internet
protocol commands developed by Connect One to manage Internet connectivity
through a wireless LAN connection.

Secure Socket iWiFi enables sending and receiving textual and binary data, MIME­encoded email messages; downloading HTML pages or files from a Web server, or
items from within a page; Web serving, as well as managing TCP or UDP socket
communications (with or without SSL3) over the Internet. It also includes an FTP
client and a Telnet client.

Secure Socket iWiFi supports numerous security protocols like SSL3/TLS1, 64/128­bit WEP encryption, AES-CCM and TKIP encryption, WPA (including AES) and
WPA2.

Unpacking

Take the II-EVB-361MW out of its box. Included in the box are:

 The II-EVB- 361MW motherboard including Secure Socket iWiFi

(iW-SM2128MW)

 A serial cable with two DB-9 connectors
 Antenna
 Power supply adaptor (110V/220V)

Connections

1. Connect one end of the RS232 cable to the serial port on the II-EVB-361MW

(J1) and connect the other DB-9 connector to the COM1 or COM2 serial port
on your PC, or to the serial port of your embedded device.

2. Connect the II-EVB- 361MW to the power supply.

Testing the Secure Socket iWiFi Wireless LAN Connection

To test the wireless LAN connection, you need to configure the Secure Socket iWiFi
to connect to an Access Point:

1. Make sure the Access Point is connected and configured properly.

2. Invoke the iChip Config Utility on your PC.

3. In the main window of the utility, click the Dumb Terminal icon.

4. In the Dumb Terminal window, enter the AT+i command to verify that the

iChip is communicating with your PC. You should receive an I/OK in
response.

5. Enter the AT+iRP11 command to obtain a report of all the Access Points

available in your area.

6. Enter AT+iWLSI=<ssid>. ssid is the ID of the Access Point you connect to.

Note that ssid is a case-sensitive string.

7. If you want to enable WEP encryption, configure the following parameters:
 AT+iWLWM=<n> where n=0 means no security, n=1 means 64-bit

key, and n=2 means 128-bit key

 AT+iWLKI=<n> where n is the WEP key index (n=1..4)
 AT+iWLK<n>=<keyString> where n is an index between 1 and 4, and

keyString is the WEP key string in the nth position.

8. If you want to enable WPA encryption, configure the following parameter:

AT+iWLPP=<passphrase> where passphrase is the pass-phrase to
be used in generating the WPA1-PSK encryption key

At this stage a connection to the Access Point is established. To test the
connection, use the iChip Config Utility to perform any activity that requires
network connection such as retrieving a web page, sending an email, or
opening a socket.

Installing the II-EVB-361MW Utility
and Evaluation Program

II-EVB-361MW enables you to evaluate the Secure Socket iWiFi without changing
anything in your current development environment. Using a simple terminal program
on a PC, you can issue AT+i commands to the iChip and get responses.

AT+i commands are used to configure parameter values into iChip’s flash memory
and activate Internet tasks such as email send, sockets, FTP sessions, configuration,
and more.

A full description of the AT+i protocol can be found in the AT+i Programmer’s
Manual on the Connect One website in the Documentation section at

http://www.connectone.com.

To help you evaluate the iChip, Connect One supplies the iChip Config Utility. This
is a Windows-based GUI program that contains intuitive dialog boxes to fully
configure iChip. It doesn’t require any knowledge of AT+i commands. It also
contains local firmware upgrade functionality.

The iChip Config Utility also allows you to perform specific Internet communication
tasks such as sending and receiving emails, activating iChip’s websites, entering
SerialNET mode, and more.

The latest iChip Config Utility version and user manual can be found on the
Connect One website at http://www.connectone.com in the Support section.

For more information on the iChip Config Utility and its usage, see the iChip Config
Utility User’s Manual.
