2. QUICK GET START

The UART-WIFI232-B2 module is designed for achieving bidirectional transparent transmission of
data packets between a serial port and WiFi. The module handles protocol conversion internally,
allowing customers to connect their physical devices to WiFi networks and thereby enabling control
and management in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT).
This chapter provides a quick start guide for the UART-WIFI232-B2 module. It's recommended
for users to read through this chapter and follow the instructions provided. Doing so will offer a

2.1 HARDWARE CONNECTION

The default configuration for UART-WIFI232-B2 is as follows:
In order to test the communication conversion of UART to WiFi/Ethernet, we replace the UART
of the UART-WIFI232-B2 module with a USB-to-Serial module (such as the CH343 USB UART Board or
FT232 USB UART Board) and a wireless network card. The hardware connection is as shown in the
following diagram:
