1.3.2. 10/100M Ethernet Interface HF-A11x modules provide one 10/100M Ethernet PHY layer interface for data transition or user

configuration. This Ethernet support with transformer and without transformer (PHY-to-PHY) 2 kinds of connection.

1.3.2.1. Ethernet Connection with Transformer User board put Ethernet transformer and RJ-45 connector. This is a general 10/100M Ethernet

phy layer connection. The reference design as following:

Figure 8. Ethernet Reference Design with Transformer

1.3.2.2. Ethernet Connection without Transformer For this application, Ethernet will work as internal data transmition interface and save one

transformer and RJ-45 connector. Ethernet PHY-to-PHY connection will use AC coupled connection. This is a space and cost optimized solution. Hardware reference design as following: Note: VCC signal at reference design shall base on user board PHY chipset voltage level, such as 2.5V power supply for general Ethernet PHY chipset.

Figure 9. Ethernet Reference Design without Transformer

1.3.3. UART Interface UART interface is the serial data transmition interface mainly used for HF-A11x modules.

Shanghai High-Flying Electronics Technology Co., Ltd

HF-A11x V3.1 User Manual

User can add RS-232 chipset on user board and convert the signal to RS-232 voltage to communicate with outside equipment or sensors. HF-A11x modules UART interface include 4 general signals: TXD/RXD/RTS/CTS. The hardware reference design with RS-232 chipset as following:

Figure 10. UART Interface Reference Design

Notes

: TXD pin is also hardware configuration pin internal module. So this pin MUST pull-down during module power up. HF0A11x modules provide internal pull-down resister, user can’t add pull-up/pull-down resister on user board, which may cause module can’t work.

1.3.4. Power Interface HF-A11x module support single +3.3V power supply. The peak current shall about 350mA and

normal WiFi working current shall about 200mA. The power save (WiFi OFF) mode will about 100mA

Decoupling at power pin suggested, At least one 100uF and one 10uF capacitor required at user board and put near module power input pin will increase the reliability and performance.

HF-A11x V3.1 User Manual

1.4. Software Reference Design

When HF-A11x modules boot up phase, the general user board MCU software flow chart will as following:

Figure 11. User MCU Software Flow Chart

HF-A11x modules provide two kinds of work mode and one configuration mode. Work mode is Transparent Transmission and Agreement Transmission. Configuration mode is through AT+instruction set to finish module setting and configuration.

When HF-A11x modules boot up, user can select one work mode base on the set t ing, an d use r can switch to the configuration mode at any kinds of work mode.

1.4.1. Transparent Transmission Mode HF-A11x modules support serial interface transparent transmission mode. The benefit of this

mode is achieves a plug and play serial data port, and reduces user complexity furthest. In this mode, user should only configure the necessary parameters. After power on, module can automatically connect to the default wireless network and server.

As in this mode, the module's serial port always work in the transparent transmission mode, so users only need to think of it as a virtual serial cable, and send and receive data as using a simple serial. In other words, the serial cable of users’ original serial devices is directly replaced with the module; user devices can be easy for wireless data transmission without any changes.

The transparent transmission mode can fully compatible with user’s original software platform and reduce the software development effort for integrate wireless data transmission.

Notes

: Transparent transmission mode as a low level phy layer data transmitting can't keep zero error rates by itself. User can enable UART port’s hardware flow control CTS/RTS function or though higher layer protocol such as TCP to lower error rate and mange the data completeness.

Shanghai High-Flying Electronics Technology Co., Ltd

www.hi-flying.com

HF-A11x V3.1 User Manual

High-Flying recommend when doing large amounts of data transmitting in transparent transmission mode, hardware flow control should be enabled, so as to fully ensure reliable data transmission. In the applications which doesn’t need flow control, users can simply leave RTS / CTS pin vacant.

1.4.2. Agreement Transmission Mode If user requires keep 100% accurate data transmitting (No error rate) or user board’ MCU has

limited data processing speed compared with wireless data transmitting rate, agreement transmission mode is suggested in this kinds of application.

Agreement transmission mode defines transmition data structure, verification mode, connection mode between both sides, which target to fully control and mange the data transmition on the serial port. These kinds of mode can keep accurate data transmitting.

In agreement transmission mode, user device (or MCU) send “SEND” instruction to HF-A11x modules, HF-A11x modules reply “SEND ACK” instruction to confirm. HF-A11x modules will not active transmit the serial port data to user device, it only can transmit the data after receive user device’s data transmit request. HF-A11x module has 1M byte data FIFO to save data which need to be transmitting to the user device.

1.4.2.1. Agreement Transmission Data Structure Agreement transmission mode’s command data structure and

- The 1

- The 2

Byte of each frame is command word;

Byte of each frame is serial number (SN).

agreement as following:

User device insert SN when it send command frame, the SN will increase one (SN+1) after one frame successful transmition. SN shall reset to 0x00 after arrive 0xFF as a cycle period.

- Data Length（Example: LLLL）, which is the net length of data part . Unit: Byte. Maximum: 1024 Bytes

2. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

2.1. Wireless Networking

HF-A11x module can be configured as both wireless STA and AP base on network type. Logically there are two interfaces in HF-A11x. One is for STA, and another is for AP. When HFA11x works as AP, other STA equipments are able to connect to wireless LAN via HF-A11x module. Wireless Networking with HF-A11x is very flexible. Following figure shows the functional architecture of HF-A11x module:

Figure 15. HF-A11x Functional Architecture

Notes

: AP: that is the wireless Access Point, the founder of a wireless network and the centre of the network nodes. The wireless router we use at home or in office may be an AP. STA: short for Station, each terminal connects to a wireless network (such as laptops, PDA and other networking devices) can be called with a STA device.

2.1.1. Basic Wireless Network Based On AP (Infrastructure) Infrastructure: it’s also called basic network. It built by AP and many STAs which join in.

The characters of network of this type are that AP is the centre, and all communication between STAs is transmitted through the AP. The figure following shows such type of networking.

Figure 16. HF-A11x Basic Wireless Network Structure

2.1.2. Wireless Network Based On Adhoc Network (Adhoc) Adhoc: It’s also called independent basic service set, and it’s built by two or more STAs without

Shanghai High-Flying Electronics Technology Co., Ltd

www.hi-flying.com

HF-A11x V3.1 User Manual

AP, this type of network is a loose structure, all the STAs in the network can communicate directly.

As showing in the figure below, HF-A11x (1) ca n be tr ea t a s an AP, and HF-A11x (2), HF-A11x (3) and the laptop are STAs connected to HF-A11x (1). Meanwhile, all HF-A11x modules can connected to user device via UART interface. All HF-A11x modu les can be operat ed an d managed through the laptop. So it is convenient to O&M all HF-A11x modules. Moreover, in such Adhoc network structure, the whole coverage of a wireless network can be extended easily.

Figure 17. HF-A11x Adhoc Network Structure

2.2. Security

HF-A11x module supports multiple wireless encryption mechanisms, and enables to protect the security of user’s data transmission, the mechanisms include:

 WEP  WAP-PSK/TKIP  WAP-PSK/AES  WAP2-PSK/TKIP  WPA2-PSK/AES

2.3. Multi-SSID with STA

HF-A11x support Multi-SSID when works at STA mode. Module can set maximum 3 AP’s SSID. After modoule boot-up, it will auto search 1st SSID and try to connect with this AP. If 1st SSID can’t link, it will search 2nd SSID, and then 3

Module will query link status every 5 second when try to connect to dedicate AP. For each SSID, user can set different encryption method.If this function is open, user can set different SSID through web page, “STA Interface Setting Page”.

SSID, until successful connected with one AP.

Notes

: This function is user selected factory setting and RELD instruction will not effective for this function. If user not requir es this function, the default factory se tting is support one SSID when works at STA mode. Contact with Hi-flying for more detailed support.

2.4. UART Auto-Frame

HF-A11x support UART auto-frame function. If user select open this function and setting autoframe trigger length and auto-frame trigger time parameters, then module will auto framing the data which received from UART port and transmitting to the network as pre-defined data structure.

¾ Auto-frame trigger length: The fixed data length that module used to transmitting to

the network.

¾ Auto-frame trigg er ti m e : After the trigger time, if UART port received data can’t reach

auto-frame trigger length, then module will transmitting available data to the network and bypass the auto-frame trigger length condition.

Detailed UART auto-frame function can refer to AT+ instruction set “UARTF/UARTFT/UARTFL” introduction.

2.5. Address Binding

HF-A11x module supports the feature of binding the BSSID address of target network. According to the provisions of 802.11 protocol, different wireless networks can have a same network name (i.e. SSID / ESSID), but must correspond to a unique BSSID address (i.e. MAC address). Illegal intruders can create a wireless network with the same SSID / ESSID, it will make STAs in the network to join to the illegal AP, thereby and then network leakage happen.

Users can prevent STA from joining to illegal network by binding the BSSID address, to improve wireless network security.

2.6. Ethernet Interface Communication

HF-A11x module provides one 10/100M Ethernet interface. With this Ethernet interface, user can easily realize the three interface (WiFi, UART, and Ethernet) intercommunication and networking . HF-A11x module can configured as Bridge Mode or Router Mode base on different networking technology.

Q6: How to avoid IP address confliction when apply HF-A11x module?

¾ The following address allocation method can avoid the IP addres s confliction for dynamic

and static IP address mixed application.

 Module dynamic IP address range from 100 to 200 for last IP address segment.

 Such as default IP: 10.10.100.254. When module works as AP, the IP address

module can allocate to STA is from 10.10.100.100 to 10.10.100.200;

 So, if user needs to set s tatic IP for dedicated STA internal network, the available IP

address range can start from 10.10.100.1 to 10.10.100.99.

Q7: PC works as server, all HF-A11x modules works as data acquisition card and connect with PC, how to configure this application?
