Network configuration method
The transparent transmission module aims at data communication in the end. WIFI
communication is carried out under the preconditions of parameter configuration,
and the network configuration (network name, PIN and IP address) and
communication protocol socket setting (TCP, UDP) is rather important. The module
defines the following two concepts for the parameters.
At first, the module defines two parts, namely, delivery parameters and user
parameters.
Delivery parameters: the module maintains the parameters of the initial status
when it is not regularly used (generally acts as AP access point). At this time, the
module has independent network name, fixed IP address, etc. The delivery mode
ensures the recovery of the module, so as to avoid the problems caused by
user’s configuration mistakes. (Delivery parameters can be modified by
customers)
User parameters: when the module was regularly configured, the module will
enable a new configuration to be user parameters as will be automatically
loaded when the module resets. (Can write once)
In order to transfer from the delivery mode to the user mode easily, RAK477
transparent transmission module provides two kinds of flexible configuration
methods to connect to the user’s router:
AP configuration
EasyConfig instant configuration
The module supports coexistence of AP and STA mode, i.e. users can not only
connect the module to the router (Internet), but also access and look up the module
and the like in the local net via the existing AP network, so as to be greatly
convenient for users and enhance the user's experiences.
