Wizfi360io-h for 'transparent mode'

Question

Just saw your product on the digikey site. I would like to confirm if it will meet our needs. Currently we use a PC/linux base TCP client program to communicate (send/receive data) with a wifi module. The module is connected to one of the processor UART ports. I have used the Digi xbee wifi SB6 module (in transparent mode) as well as the Silicon Labs AMW006-a1u and AMW006-a1w in TCP server mode and both work. I have used both because of their through-hole footprint. The communication does not use any ‘AT’ commands, just sending/receiving hex bytes. Can i use the wizfi360io-h similarly, and do you have examples of how to set up the module.

Hi WizFi360io-h also provide transparent mode. so you can send/receive the messages without the AT commands . but you should use the AT commands to make a TCP Server mode. the module supports auto-connection mode, but it only works on the TCP Client mode. You can refer to the following link to set up the module. I recommend you a " AT Command Examples V1.0.3 - English to set up the module. There are the all of documents about the WizFi360 module. https://wizwiki.net/wiki/doku.php/products:wizfi360:wizfi360ds:start

WizFi360io-h series does’t have u.fl option.

I tested UDP transparent mode like you did and I saw same problem. I will inform this issue to dev team. Thanks for your information.

Hi. Same is the situation and in TCP client mode. Currently I am using WIZ750sr-100 and it is working in transparent mode in both TCP client/server . Are you going to support TCP server transparent mode?

wizdaniel · Answer

Hi. We support transparent mode on TCP client mode instead of TCP Server mode. Because TCP server mode have to manage multiple connection in our structure of the module.(mandantory AT+CIPMUX=1) as you know, transparent mode is not available in the multi connection state. I guess AT+CIPMODE command has a bug. It will be fix. before that you can use transparent mode in TCP client mode with AT+SAVETRANSLINK command. for example. AT+CWMODE_DEF=1 AT+CWDHCP_DEF=1,1 AT+CWJAP_DEF="AP_SSID","AP_PASSWORD" AT+CWAUTOCONN=1 AT+SAVETRANSLINK=1,"192.168.0.194",5000,"TCP" AT+RST

Hello. Yes , tested this also and again no transperancy. So I will wait for updated firmware with fixed bug

Hello, It is not a Bug. After set “AT+CIPMODE=1
”, We must send message “AT+CIPSEND
” so WizFi360 is Transmode.

OK. I understsand. Now have success. After AT+SAVETRANSLINK , RESTART and switching ON is very unconfortable to send AT command in order to start working in transparent mode. I would like to suggest you to skip this step in future firmwares. Thanks for the support.

teddy · Answer

Ok, I will consider function of that after.

So can you help me out what I am missing here? thank you Kind Regards Koen

Hello, Koen The firmware version you are using is 1.0.2.5, would you like to update it to the latest version 1.1.1.7, and run it again? refer to the link below for firmware update http://wizwiki.net/wiki/lib/exe/fetch.php/products:wizfi360:wizfi360ds:wizfi360fug_v124e.pdf Best regards David

Continuing the discussion from Wizfi360io-h for 'transparent mode': Hello, I am using the WIZFI360-EVB-mini board, I have done a setup on by connecting the 2 modules one as client and the other as server, I guess below command is at the client side AT+SAVETRANSLINK=1,“192.168.148”,3347,“TCP” Problem1: can I know from where can we find remote IP address and remote port number of the client? Problem 2: at the server side I couldn’t find the message when client/station got connected, if I connect with my PC or mobile I will get a message as station connected with MAC and IP address. Problem 3: Can I make my PC as server and wizfi360-evb-mini as client, but I am unable to find my PC’s SSID by displaying the list of available APs, but I could have connect with my phone by turning on hotspot, what to change in my PC to advertise it’s SSID. is this possible?
