ON: Network connect already Link OFF: Can’t connect to the WIFI or ethernet network ON: Ready to work or connect.
3) Connect to the network via LAN cable or WIFI. Noticed: WF-01 serial port is a standard DB9 male, when tested, please use cross-connected method, that is TXD<-->RXD,RXD<->TXD,.serial port pins as shown below: Data receiving pin of serial port server...
Admin Noticed: if cannot see the SSID of the WF-01, please reset the device and try again. Connect the WF-01 to PC via RS232/485 port, check the Com port, see the picture as below: Step3: Noticed: if cannot see the com ports, then need to install the serial port driver.

2005. Tel:0086-755-29063895 ext.803 www.GPRS-M2M.com When connect to the WF-01 successfully, the “Link” light will on, then “Open Network and Sharing Step4: Center”, need to confirmed the IP and DNS is obtain automatically, see the picture as below: Notice: If the the PC without Wireless LAN Adapter, then also can use the LAN cable to configuration.
5.2 . Configuration for use the WF-01 as STA: When WF-01 works in AP mode, we don't need access to the web for parameter setting, but in most practical application, a serial port server WF-01 works as a STA, because data need to be uploaded to the public network which is not available for AP mode.

Click “STA Interface Setting" to search router, select the correct “SSID”, and “Apply” ,then input Step3: password and click “Apply”. Also can add 2 backup routers, when WF-01 fails to be connected in 1st router, it will be change to connect to the another one automatically.

Tel:0086-755-29063895 ext.803 www.GPRS-M2M.com Step4: Open a New tap, log in the router, Mapped a port in router for received the data from WF-01. >>> Then remember the port! (The port is very important!) >>> Click “Application Setting”, must confirm the UART Setting is same as the UART Testing Tool setting.
Page 14
Open the UART and TCP tool, choose the protocol type as "TCP Server ", that means the laptop Step6: works as a Server, the serial port server WF-01 as a client. Then fill in the local host IP as the laptop’s IP (This IP address is the local IP which mapped a port before).

Tel:0086-755-29063895 ext.803 www.GPRS-M2M.com Noticed: If assign a static IP for the Local host laptop/pc will be more better. 6. Application Mode Explanation 6.1 AP Application: (Wireless remote controller application) As shown below, when WF - 01 works as AP (access point), it creates a wireless network and works as center node in this wireless network.
8.4 HTTPD Client mode In this mode, the wifi-serial server of WF-01 sends request and data to the HTTP server. Every time to send data, the wifi-serial server of WF-01 will automatically envelope the data into the HTTP protocol form, then sent the enveloped data to the specified HTTP server.
Question 2:When using WF-01, how to avoid an IP address conflict? >>> The dynamic distribution IP address is .100--.200. For example, when the LAN address of WF-01 is 10.10.100.254, the dynamic distribution IP address of its STA is 10.10.100.100 to 10.10.100.200. While its Static distribution IP address is from 10.10.100.1 to 10.10.100.99, to avoid conflict between...
1) In case of failure, please contact the distributor or manufacturer. 2) If the WF-01 works but fail to transfer the data, switch the power off and on again after one minute. Test it after few minutes later, or reset it.
