5. Wireless System Introduction
In the wireless system, use mesh gateway (HDL-MCIP-RF.10) to manage all the wireless
devices, the gateway can work in mesh mode and bridge mode.
5.1 Mesh Mode
5.1.1 Wiring Diagram
The mesh mode can realize the communication between the HDL Buspro devices and the
RF devices.
In mesh mode, must set different frequency (RF Channel) for each gateway, each
gateway manages a wireless network with same Subnet ID of the RF devices.

5.1.2 Basic Configuration Steps
Basic steps to build up the mesh mode system:
1- Select the free frequency for the gateway, HDL-MCIP-RF.10
For China, select WPAN band, and the range of frequency is 780MHz -786MHz;
For Europe, select SRD band, and the range of frequency is 864MHz – 870MHz;
For North America, select ISM band, and the range of frequency is 904MHz – 928MHz .
2- Set the unique PSK PWD for the gateway
Must set the unique password for your gateway, then even other RF systems use same
frequency as yours, but cannot control your system devices because of different PSK
PWD.
3- All wireless devices enter the wireless setup mode
The way to enter the wireless setup mode:
Gateway:
Press the ‘PROG’ button 3 times continuously or enter from HDL BUS software directly, its
LED will flash quickly
Curtain:
Press the ‘PROG’ button 3 times continuously, its LED will flash quickly.
DLP Panel:
Long press the first and eighth buttons at the same time to enter the setting page, select
‘WIRELESS’, the seventh and eighth buttons’ LED will be on.
Normal Panel:
Long press any button of it about 25s (at the 15s, the LED will flash quickly that means it
enters the address modify mode), the LED will flash slowly.
4- Set the wireless parameters for normal wireless devices
In the HDL BUS software, set the ID, frequency and PSK PWD for the normal wireless
devices (panel, relay, etc) via the mesh gateway. Their Subnet ID, frequency and PSK
PWD must be same as the gateway’s, otherwise the gateway cannot manage them.

5- All devices exit the wireless setup mode
You are able to search and configure these wireless devices normally via the gateway
now.
5.2 Bridge Mode
5.2.1 Wiring Diagram
In bridge mode, RS485 and Ethernet data in multiple gateways can be transmitted via RF,
which effectively extends the communication distance. In the inconvenient of layout
application environment, different subnets can be interconnected.
5.2.2 Basic Configuration Steps
Basic steps to build up the bridge mode system:
1- All gateways use different Subnet ID
2- All gateways use same frequency
3- All gateways use same PSK PWD
Important Note: RF reliable transmission distance is 50m, obstacles will reduce the
transmission distance, the distance decreases 20m if through a wall, so it is better to
install mesh wireless devices in empty place and forbid to install near to the metal objects,
in order to get a good communication quality, this device is not recommended to install in
electric box, if have to, then please add an antenna outside.

2. Select “P2P”, fill in “Project Name”, “Group Name”, “User”, “PWD”. The “User IP” is the
public IP of Router R2 (see diagram above), the “Port” is the one you are going to fill in the
Router R2 when setting up port forwarding. Some routers support Internal port and
External port mapping, some do not, there is only one port, or you can take it as External
port equals Internal port, to simplify, we suggest to use the port 6000 for all ports.
3. Configure port forwarding in Router R1
Map UDP port 6000 to the IP of mesh gateway

- Remote Server
This mode is suitable for both travelling programmer and end user to configure and control
HDL wireless system via Internet. Since a server is getting involved in this mode, no static
public IP is needed for HDL wireless system because the HDL-MCIP-RF.10 in Remote
Server mode will keep updating itself to the server, programmer and end user can always
get info of the remote HDL-MCIP-RF.10 from the server and later access the HDL wireless
system directly.

Server
HDL server has a fixed IP and port, 115.29 .251.24:9999 or 59.41.254.6:9999, do not
change it, it is editable because HDL may change the server or help installation
companies to build their own servers in the future, in that case, the installation companies
can fill in their own servers and ports.
“Interval(1-255)m ”
It is the parameter that decides how long the HDL-MCIP-RF.10 will register its info to the
HDL server again, e.g., if we set it as 2 minutes, that means every 2 minutes the
HDL-MCIP-RF.10 will register itself to the HDL server (so that HDL server knows where
this HDL-MCIP-RF.10 locates even if the public IP of the router is changed or private IP of
the HDL-MCIP-RF.10 is changed). Recommend to set it no more than 3 minutes.
Note:
a) ‘Enable DHCP’ is an option that will be supported in the future.
b) Can have 4 active connections, which means when you are configuring the HDL
wireless system, up to 3 people can operate the HDL wireless system from iPad,
android pad at the same time.
3. Exit HDL-BUS Pro Setup Tool and find another Internet access that has a different
public IP for your PC/laptop, run the HDL-BUS Pro Setup Tool again and select ‘Internet’.
