Installing the iChipConfig Utility & Evaluation Software
II-EVB-363 enables you to evaluate the modules without changing anything in your
current development environment. Using a simple terminal program on a PC, you can
issue AT+i commands to the module and get responses.
AT+i commands are used to configure parameter values into iChip's flash memory
and activate Internet tasks such as Email send/Recieve, sockets, FTP sessions, Web,
and more.
A full description of the AT+i protocol can be found in the AT+i Programmer's
Manual on the Connect One website at:
http://www.connectone.com/support.asp?did=42
To assist in configuring and evaluating the iChip and the modules, Connect One
supplies the iChipConfig Utility. This is a Windows-based GUI program that contains
intuitive dialog boxes to fully configure iChip. It doesn't require any knowledge of
AT+i commands. In addition, it contains a local firmware upgrade function.
The iChipConfig Utility also allows you to perform specific Internet communication
tasks such as sending and receiving Emails, activating iChip's websites, entering
SerialNET mode, and more.
For more information on the iChipConfig Utility and its usage, see the iChip Config
Utility User's Manual.
. The latest iChipConfig Utility version and user manual can be found on the
Connect One website in the Support section at:

Most frequently iChipConfig connects to the II-EVB-363 though the PC's standard
RS232 Serial port. The modules also include a USB Device port, which allows using
a USB connection as an alternative. To enable use of the PC USB port, a virtual COM
USB driver needs to be loaded on the PC. The iChipConfig can then be configured to
use the virtual port. Instructions for configuring the USB drivers on the PC are given
below in Appendix 3.

Testing the WiFi module Wireless Connection
To test the wireless LAN connection, you need to configure the Nano
WiReach/Socket iWiFi to connect to an Access Point:
1. Make sure an Access Point is connected and configured properly.
2. Start the iChipConfig Utility on your PC.
3. In the main window of the utility, click the Dumb Terminal icon.
