Q1: How to configure transparent serial port application (TCP
protocol) with two

Network structure as below figure:

Module 1# Setting:
 Works as AP mode;
 LAN IP address: 10.10.100.254;
 Network Protocal:TCP/Server, Port ID: 8899; -- See "Application Setting Page"
(Module default setting);

Module 2# Setting:
 Works as STA mode;
 WAN connection type: DHCP or Static IP (For this example:10.10.100.100)
 Network Protocal:TCP/Client, Port ID: 8899; Application IP address: Module 1#‟s LAN
IP address (10.10.100.254);
 Notes: When module 2# works as STA mode, module‟s WiFi interface works as WAN
port. Module‟s WAN IP address and LAN IP address shall be setting different segment.
So, module 2#‟s LAN IP address must change to other segment; (For this sample, we
change to 10.10.99.254);
