1. Introduction of EVK
High-Flying provides evaluation kit for users to be familiar with the product and
develop application quickly. The evaluation kit is shown as below, users can connect
to module with the RS-232 UART, USB (Internal UART-USB convertor) or wireless
interface (webpage) to configure the parameters, manage the module or do some
functional tests.
EVK list:
①
HF-LPX30 series module: 1 Pcs
②
HF-LPX30 evaluation board: 1 Pcs
③
Power Adapter (DC5V/1A): 1 Pcs
④
Serial Line: 1 Pcs
or: USB line: 1 Pcs

2. Use Step
2.1 Connect Device
Power adapter connect to power, serial line connect to computer serial port.
After that, we can find that the “Power” LED is on, which indicates that the
HF-LPT230 is power on.
After 2-3 seconds, the “nReady” LED light is on, which indicates that the module
is launched successfully.
Notes:
Press down “nReload” key more than 4 seconds and loose, the “nReady” LED is off; after 2-3
seconds, the “nReady” LED is on again, the module restore to factory default configuration

 The above use RS232 UART to communicate, so must use RS232 cable connect to PC(Debug
UART1 is only for log information output, its baud rate is 921600, must use USB UART to
output due to RS232 transform chip max baud rate is just 460800)
If need to use USB UART for the test, then connect the jumper as the following pic. The USB
若需 UART chip driver can be download from our website.

3. AT command configure
3.1 UART input “+++”, after module receive “+++”, and feedback “a” as
confirmation;
3.2 UART input “a”, after module receive “a” and feedback “+ok” to go into
AT+ instruction set configuration mode.
<Notes>:
 When user input “+++” (No “Enter” key required), the UART port will display feedback
information “a”, and not display input information”+++” as above UART display.
 Any other input or wrong step to UART port will cause the module still works as original
mode (transparent transmission).

After entering command mode through serial tool, input “AT+H” and enter, will
display all AT+ command as follow. Detail info please check module user manual
chapter 4 “AT command description.

Note:
 When input “+++” (No “Enter” key required), the UART port will display feedback
information “a”, but not ”+++” ;then input another “a”, will display feedback “+OK”, enter into
command mode
If did not enter into command mode at first time, probably the space time is wrong when
input, please try again by input “+++” and “a”.

4.1.3 TCPUDP Test Tool Configure

Decompress “TCPUDPDbg”, select , open TCPUDP and

create a TCP connect, configure as follow:
Press “create connection” and select “TCP’, target IP: 10.10.100.254, Port 8899.
After connection, press “Connect”, input the data in the send area, such as “Hi-flying
HF-A11 Test 0123abc”.

4.1.4 PC2 Serial Tool Configure
PC2 connect to HF-LPT230 through serial line, click “SecureCRT” to create a
connection, detail setting as follow:
Protocol: Serial
Port: computer COM port
Baud rate: 115200
Data bit: 8
Parity check: None

4.1.5 Data Transparent Transmit
After connect with COM port, enter into transparent transmit mode. Then user
can run data transmit test. As below photo, press “send” on TCPUCP test tool
interface, the data will be transmitted directly to COM port. Meanwhile, input
message in COM port tool, the message will be transmitted to TCPUCP receive area
directly, such as “Back HI-FLYING-A11”

www.hi-flying.com 10 Copyright © 2013 . All rights reserved

Notes:
 Use“SecureCRT”serial tool, after connection with COM port, there is a green sign

“|”, . If it is red, it indicates that the COM port is disconnect

 When transmit, the message inputted in “SecureCRT” will not display in
SecureCRT interface, but transmitted to receive area in “TCPUCP test tool
interface”
 If “SecureCRT” already enters into command mode, input“AT+ENTM”and enter
into transparent transmit mode, or press Reset to enter into transparent transmit
mode
 When module work in AP mode, it allows max 8 STA device connecting.

4.2 Test Case 2:
HF-LPT230 as STA mode, connect with router, transparent transmit between
UART and Wi-Fi.
Please install “SecureCRT” and TCP/IPD” test tool before test.

4.2.1 Test Topology:

4.2.3 HF-LPT230 work mode configuration

Because HF-LPT230 cannot support webpage configuration currently(will be
supported soon), it is suggested to use serial port to configure. The specific steps are
shown as follows:
First, enter into the AT command configure by command configuration in chapter 3.

Second, search the AP nearby and take the following figure as an example:

www.hi-flying.com 13 Copyright © 2013 . All rights reserved

 Type the command AT+WSCAN, and then you will see some information like
channel, SSID of the AP nearby.

There are totally three commands in the figure above. The first one is used to
set the SSID of the related AP. The second one is to set the encryption parameter of
STA. (Note that the three parameters stand for authentication mode, encryption
algorithm and the key respectively) The last one is about the work mode.
Can also use our Smartlink V7 APP to config the module connecting to router, see the
following material.
http://www.hi-flying.com/download_list_dc/&downloadcategoryid=14&isMode=false&comp_sta
ts=comp-FrontDownloadsCategory_show01-1376450727769.html

Third, set the parameters of network and serial port.

www.hi-flying.com 14 Copyright © 2013 . All rights reserved

Among all the commands above, AT+WANN is used to set network parameters and
there are four parameters which represent IP mode of STA, IP address of STA, the
subnet mask of STA and gateway address of STA respectively.(In this case, the
costumer can also set static IP according to special requirements)
AT+NETP is used to set parameters of network protocol, there are four parameters
which stand for type of protocol, network mode, port and the IP address or domain
name under client mode.
AT+UART is the command to check and modify the information in serial port. It has
five parameters, and they are baud rate, data bits, stop bits, check bits and hardware
flow control. If there are no special requirements, it is suggested to use default mode.

Four, after setting all the parameters, you must reset the module. After restart,
when the “Link” LED light turns on, it indicates the module already connected to
router.

4.2.4 PC2 serial configuration and check

Check the IP address of HF-LPT230 which connected to router, this IP address
can set static or automatically acquire from router.
(1) Static set: in STA setting. Disable “acquire IP address automatically”, then you
can set IP address manually
(2) Acquire IP address automatic: PC2 connect to HF-LPT230 through serial port,
and enter command mode, input “AT+WANN”, the feedback message is the IP
address, for example. “+ok=DHCP,192.168.10.23,255.255.255.0,192.168.10.1”, then
the IP address of HF-LPT230 is “192.168.10.23”, please remember this IP address
Then input “AT+ENTM” enters into transparent transmit

4.2.5 TCPUDP test tool configuration
PC1 connect to “wireless router”, open TCPUDP and create a TCP connect,
details set as follow:
Press “create connect” and select TCP, target IP:192.168.10.23 (This IP is
acquired automatically) port: 8899

4.2.6 Data Transparent Transmit

After TCPUDP finished the connection, press “connect” button, input message in
send area, such as “Hi-flying HF-LPT230 Test 0123abc”. Under the condition of
COM connected, user can run the data transparent transmit test. As below photo
shows: press send on TCPUDP interface, the message will be transparent transmitted
directly to COM; meanwhile, input message on COM port tool, the message will be
transparent transmitted directly to TCPUDP, such as “hi-flying HF-A11 test”

Notes:
 when use “SecureCRT” serial tool, and once connected with COM port successfully ,there

will be a green “|” sign, as , if is shows red, then it indicates COM port
disconnected.
 When transparent transmit through serial, the message inputted in “SecureCRT” will not
displayed in “SecureCRT” interface, but displayed in “TCPUDP” receiving area.
 If already input “+++” and enter command mode by “SecureCRT” serial tool, then user can
input “AT+ENTM” switch to transparent transmit mode, or press Reset button to enter transparent
transmit mode.
 The target IP address in TCPUDP test tool is the IP address module acquired from wireless
router, can check the IP address by input “AT+WANN”.
