3.3 Joining a Wi-Fi Network

Several methods are available to configure and join the AMW006 module to a Wi-Fi network.

Web Setup

WiConnect provides the option to use a web browser running on a network client (such as a smartphone, tablet or computer) to select the remote Wi-Fi network the AMW006 module should join, and to enter a password for the remote network.

When web setup is used, it is helpful to think of the network client as the keyboard and display for the module as shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3. Web setup using a network client

Name: WiConnect-###### Password: password

To start web setup mode, enter the command setup web. WiConnect starts the local network and web server as indicated by the final message: In progress.

> setup web

AMW006 Evaluation Guide

Not Recommended for New Designs

Using WiConnect, Section 3

Open the Wi-Fi settings on your smartphone, tablet or computer and join the network called WiConnect-###### (where ###### are the last 6 digits of the Wi-Fi module MAC address). The password for the network is simply:

password. The local network name and password, and the web address may be customised to suit your needs, see

the online WiConnect Reference Manual for further information.

After joining the local network, open a web browser on the network client and go to setup.com. The WiConnect web page appears (see Figure 3), and a scan begins for Wi-Fi access points in range. Select the remote network you wish to join, enter the network password then select Save & Exit and follow the prompts.

Once the settings are successfully saved, WiConnect prints Web Setup Mode exited to the terminal. Check that the settings were successfully saved using get wlan.ssid and get wlan.passkey.

Web Setup Mode exited

> get wlan.ssid

YOUR_NETWORK_NAME > get wlan.passkey

YOUR_NETWORK_PASSWORD

Script Setup

If you prefer instead to enter configuration details for the Wi-Fi network, WiConnect provides a default setup script to step you through the process. The setup script is provided as a file called default_setup.script on the WiConnect file system. The setup script may be customised as required.

> setup cmd

> Enter Wi-Fi network name:

set wlan.ssid YOUR_NETWORK_NAME Set OK

> Enter Wi-Fi network password:

set wlan.passkey YOUR_NETWORK_PASSWORD Set OK

> set wlan.auto_join.enabled true

Manual Setup

It is straightforward to manually enter the name and password for the network using the wlan.ssid and

wlan.passkey variables too. Be sure to save afterwards, or the values will be lost when the module reboots. Any

subsequent command requiring network access, such as an ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) ping, automatically results in the module attempting to join the network.

Wireless Protected Setup (WPS)

WPS is a Wi-Fi provisioning method originally intended to simplify the process of connecting Wi-Fi clients to Wi-Fi Access Points. WPS offers both a push-button and PIN entry method for configuration. In reality, WPS push-button (as opposed to PIN) is the only method that has gained some level of adoption in the industry, however WPS naturally only works when the Wi-Fi AP supports WPS.

Many AP vendors choose not to test and certify APs with the Wi-Fi Alliance, and the lack of a standard WPS logo next to the WPS button on an AP often means many users are unaware that WPS is available. The potential for equipment incompatibility and added user confusion mean it is unwise to rely on WPS as the primary method of Wi-Fi provisioning in the real world.

Incompatibility and confusion aside, WiConnect provides full support for WPS1.0 & WPS2.0 and the underlying WPS engine has passed Wi-Fi certification. To use WPS in push-button mode, simply enter the wps command into WiConnect, then press the WPS button on your router (if the router supports WPS, and it is enabled, and you can find the button), and wait for the magic to happen.

Note! When reading the contents of a file using stream_read, the file is automatically closed if the end of file is reached.

3.5 Saving Custom Configurations

All available WiConnect variables may be saved to a file as a custom configuration. Saved configuration may then be loaded at a later date. This feature is particularly useful for saving configuration variables prior to an over-the-air (OTA) upgrade, and then restoring the configuration afterwards.

> save my_config.csv

Using WiConnect, Section 3

3.6 UDP / TCP / TLS Clients

To open a UDP, TCP or secure TLS connection to a remote server, use the udp_client, tcp_client or

tls_client commands. WiConnect responds with a stream handle if the connection is opened successfully. For TLS

connections, WiConnect provides a default TLS root certificate signed by GeoTrust (located on the WiConnect file system), however this certificate may not work with some TLS servers. A custom certificate may be provided as an option to the tls_client command if required.

> udp_client test.ack.me 50019 [Opening: test.ack.me:50019] Resolving host: test.ack.me Connecting: 107.170.222.80:50019 [2014-05-19 | 11:12:22: Opened: 0] 0 > tcp_client test.ack.me 50019 Resolving host: test.ack.me [2014-05-19 | 11:12:38: Opening: test.ack.me:50019] Connecting (TCP): 107.170.222.80:50019 [2014-05-19 | 11:12:39: Opened: 1] 1 > tls_client google.com 443 Resolving host: google.com [2014-05-19 | 11:12:49: Opening: google.com:443] Connecting (TLS): 74.125.237.174:443 [2014-05-19 | 11:12:50: Opened: 2] 2

Now try writing a character to the UDP or TCP stream that was opened in the examples above (remember, WiConnect does NOT echo characters typed after the stream_write command). The server at http://test.ack.me responds with a character pattern using the Chargen (Character Generator) protocol.

> stream_write 0 2 hi Success > stream_read 0 50 !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQR

Note! WiConnect supports TCP, UDP and TLS server modes too! For more information, please refer to the WiConnect Reference Guide.

3.7 HTTP / HTTPS Clients

To open an HTTP or secure HTTPS connection to a remote server, read the first 300 bytes of the response then close the connection, use the http_get, stream_read and stream_close commands. WiConnect responds with a stream handle if the connection is opened successfully.

3.8 Using GPIOs

In WiConnect, a GPIO may have two functions: a standard IO function or an alternate function (such as a system indicator, status GPIO or control GPIO). When a GPIO is configured with an alternate function, the standard IO function is NOT available and the gpio_dir, gpio_set, and gpio_get commands are disabled for that GPIO.

Before a GPIO can be used, it is necessary to first check whether the GPIO is being used for an alternate function, or is already in use as a standard GPIO (for another purpose). If the GPIO is in use, it must first be freed up by setting the direction of the GPIO to none using the gpio_dir command (standard IO) or by disabling the alternate function.

The example below demonstrates how to control GPIO 23 on the AMW006 module. GPIO 23 is unassigned after factory reset.

> gpio_dir 23 out Set OK > get gpio.usage ! # Description #13 - UART1 RX #14 - UART1 TX #17 - SPI CLK #18 - SPI MOSI #19 - SPI MISO #21 - system.indicator.network #22 - system.indicator.wlan #23 - Standard I/O > gpio_set 23 0 Set OK > gpio_set 23 1 Set OK > gpio_set 23 0 Set OK

AMW006 Evaluation Guide

Using WiConnect, Section 3

3.9 Factory Reset

The AMW006 module may be factory reset using the factory_reset command or by holding the factory reset pin (GPIO 0 on all ACKme modules) high for more than 10 seconds through a hardware reset. After a successful factory reset, all variables are set to factory defaults and the module reboots. To avoid accidental factory reset, the Wi-Fi MAC address must be provided when calling the factory_reset command.

> get wlan.mac 4C:55:DC:15:02:5D > factory_reset 4C:55:DC:15:02:5D Reverting to factory default settings Setting boot app to wiconnect.exe (0) WiConnect-2.0.0.0, Built:2014-10-07 00:07:31 for AMW006.2, Board:AMW006-E03.1 [Ready] >

3.10 Save & Reboot

When the value of a WiConnect variable is changed, the new value is only saved to RAM (not flash!). The value of unsaved variables is lost when the module is reset or rebooted. To save variables to non-volatile flash memory, use the save command. The following example demonstrates that failing to save the wlan.ssid prior to reboot results in the newly assigned value being lost.

> get wlan.ssid > set wlan.ssid ssid_WONT_be_saved Set OK > reboot [Disassociated] Rebooting WiConnect-2.0.0.0, Built:2014-10-07 00:07:31 for AMW006.2, Board:AMW006-E03.1 [Ready] > get wlan.ssid > set wlan.ssid ssid_WILL_be_saved Set OK > save Saved Success > reboot [Disassociated] Rebooting WiConnect-2.0.0.0, Built:2014-10-07 00:07:31 for AMW006.2, Board:AMW006-E03.1 [Ready] > get wlan.ssid ssid_WILL_be_saved >

Note! WiConnect configures some services (such as GPIO initialization) only after reboot. It may be necessary to save and reboot the module before the new value of some variables takes effect.

3.11 Command vs. Stream Mode

The WiConnect serial interface may be used in either Command Mode or Stream Mode. A brief description of each of these modes is provided in the following text. For detailed information, please refer to the WiConnect Reference

Using WiConnect, Section 3

Command Mode

Command mode provides an asynchronous command interface that a host may use to send and receive control and data information. Command mode is typically used by a host to configure WiConnect, however it may also be used by simple hosts that need ultimate master/slave control over information sent to, and received from, the module. All preceding examples demonstrate usage of WiConnect in command mode.

There are two ways to interact with WiConnect in Command mode. When operating in human friendly command mode, WiConnect provides verbose asynchronous responses that are easy for humans to read. In machine friendly command mode, verbose prints and the command prompt are disabled and a well-defined response header is returned after each command.

Configuring Command Mode

Command mode can be configured using the convenience variable system.cmd.mode

Setting system.cmd.mode executes a macro that sets the value of the four variables used to switch between human and command mode. These variables, together with the human and machine mode setting, are listed in the following table.

Stream Mode

Stream Mode provides a streaming interface that transparently connects a WiConnect serial interface with a network stream such as a UDP, TCP or TLS client or server. Stream mode provides a simple 1-1 connection between a physical serial interface and a network stream.

Bytes or characters sent from the host to a serial interface are transparently pushed by WiConnect to a network stream via a wireless interface. Conversely, bytes or characters received by a network stream (from a remote server) via a wireless interface are transparently pushed by WiConnect to a serial interface connected to the host. A wireless

serial port is a typical application that uses stream mode.

Appendix A – Configuring a Terminal Emulator

APPENDIX A – Configuring a Terminal Application

The following instructions describe how to obtain and install a serial terminal application for use on computers running a Windows® or OS X operations system. ACKme recommends using PuTTY for Windows® systems and CoolTerm for OS X systems, however other equivalent applications may work equally well.

Plug the evaluation board into the computer using a USB cable before continuing.

Verify USB-Serial Driver Installation

The USB-Serial interface on WiConnect evaluation boards is based on an FTDI chip used widely in the industry. Most operating systems including Windows®, OS X, and Linux provide integrated FTDI driver support as part of the operating system. However on some older machines, or machines that do not pickup regular updates, the driver may not automatically install and it is necessary to manually install the driver.

On computers running Windows®, check if the driver is installed as follows:

 Display the System Control Panel (e.g. press the ‘Windows’ key + Pause key).  In the left-hand column near the top of the panel, click Device Manager  In the Device Manager dialog, expand the Ports (COM and LPT) branch  FTDI drivers appear under the USB Serial Port items. If no items of this kind appear, the drivers may

not be installed. Note: The driver entry may not appear if the ACKme device is not connected to the USB port and powered on.

 Double click the USB Serial Port entry.  Select the General tab in the USB Serial Port Properties dialog. Check the following:

o Manufacturer: FTDI o Device status: This device is working properly

 Select the Driver tab in the USB Serial Port Properties dialog. Check the following:

o Driver Provider: FTDI o Update drivers if necessary by clicking the Update Driver… button.

 In some cases, the FTDI driver may actually be correctly installed, but the driver may not enumerate

as a Virtual Communications Port (VCP). If this is the case, find the device under the USB Serial Bus controllers section of the Device manager, open the device, check the VCP box, then click OK. It may be necessary to unplug/replug your evaluation board in order for the VCP driver to load correctly.

If the FTDI drivers do not appear to be installed, see the installation instructions on the FTDI official site:
