Networking application

USR-W610 supports two wireless interface: one STA interface and one AP interface. And W610 also supports one 100M Ethernet interface.

AP: Access point, central node of a wireless network. In general, wireless router is an AP and other wireless terminal can connect to each others through AP.
STA: Station, terminal of a wireless network. Such as PDA, mobile phone.

Wireless networking

When W610 works in STA mode, W610 will adjust own channel to be same as AP’s channel which W610 want to connect to. And when W610 works in AP mode, user can configure W610 to automatically choose channel and W610 will choose a channel according to surrounding environment.

AP mode
User can connect own devices as STA devices such as PC/PAD/phone to W610 works in AP mode directly to realize data transmission. After establishing connection successfully, user can enter W610 Web Server to configure the W610. User can also connect serial devices to W610 through RS232 or RS485 interface.
STA mode
W610 works in STA mode can connect to an AP to realize communication with other devices which connect to same AP. And if this AP has connected to internet, USR-W610 can also access internet.
AP+STA mode
W610 supports AP+STA mode which can enable an AP interface and a STA interface simultaneously. W610’s STA interface can connect to an AP and AP interface can be connected by STA devices.
AP, STA application
User can configure two W610 one as AP and another as STA, then connect W610 in STA mode to W610 in AP mode to realize AP, STA application.
Encryption mode
Encryption can make sure secure data transmission and improve communication security. W610 supports various encryption mode including:
- WPA-PSK/TKIP
- WPA-PSK/AES
- WPA2-PSK/TKIP
- WPA2-PSK/AES
- WEP
  Note: When module adopts WEP encryption mode, HEX format is 10 bytes or 26 bytes password and ASCII format is 5 bytes or 13 bytes password; when module adopts WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK encryption mode, password is at least 8 bytes.

Wired networking

AP+LAN
When W610 works in AP mode, other STA devices can connect to W610 through RJ45 or WIFI. In this network, all devices will be distributed a IP in same network segment with W610. Application diagram as follow:
AP+WAN
- User can configure W610 in AP mode and Ethernet interface in WAN interface(enable DHCP) to connect to internet. In this mode, W610 can work as second grade router and other STA device can connect to W610 AP interface to access internet.
- After W610 connecting to first grade AP, W610 can get IP address from first grade AP. And W610 will distribute IP address to STA devices which connect to W610 AP interface. Application diagram as follow:
Route mode
W610 can work in STA mode with N-Ver version to apply route mode. W610 can get IP address from AP and distribute IP address to device which connect to W610 through Ethernet interface. Application diagram as follow:
Note: In above application diagram, PC1 can initiate a connection to PC2 but PC2 can’t initiate a connection to PC1.
Bridge mode
W610 can work in STA mode with Z-Ver version to apply bridge mode. After connecting to AP, device which connect to W610 through Ethernet interface can get IP address from AP. In this whole network, PC1 and PC2 can communicate to each other without limitation. If user want to achieve communicate between W610 to other devices, user need set LAN interface IP address of W610 into same network segment as AP. Application diagram as follow:

Product Functions

Work mode

W610 supports five work modes: transparent transmission mode, serial port command mode, HTTP Client mode, Mod bus TCP<=>Mod bus RTU mode and AT command mode. Default work mode of module is transparent transmission mode. User can switch module between transparent transmission mode, serial port command mode, HTTP Client mode and Mod bus TCP<=>Mod bus RTU mode by Web Server or AT command. And when module works in transparent transmission mode, serial port command mode, HTTP Client mode or Mod bus TCP<=>Mod bus RTU mode, user can refer to http://www.usriot.com/enter-serial-command-mode/ to enter AT command mode.

Transparent transmission mode
In this work mode, W610 can make a bidirectional connection between serial side and network side. This connection is transparent transmission. Data from serial device can be received in network, and network data can also be sent to serial device. This mode mainly used to realize data transmission between user serial device and fixed server through socket.
Note:
- Socket A supports: TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP Server, UDP Client. Socket A works in TCP Server mode supports at most 24 TCP Client connections.
- Socket B supports: TCP Client, UDP Client.
Serial port command mode
In this mode, W610 should works in UDP Client mode or TCP Client mode and user can send data in specified protocol format to different server without resetting.
If user send serial data in specified protocol format from serial device to W610, W610 will parse the data and send data after parsing to appointed server if data format is correct; if data isn’t in correct format, W610 won’t send to server side.
Note: serial port command mode is one of transparent transmission mode and it is different from AT command mode.
HTTP Client mode
In this work mode, user should configure the HTTP URL, HTTP header data, HTTP server address and HTTP server port firstly. Serial data can be packaged into HTTP format and sent to HTTP server through W610, HTTP server will also return data to W610.
Mod bus TCP <=>Mod bus RTU mode
W610 supports Mod bus TCP<=>Mod bus RTU mode(doesn’t support Mod bus ASCII). User just needs to configure W610 work mode to Mod bus TCP<=>Mod bus RTU mode and change related parameters(port, remote IP and some other parameters) to correct settings when user wants to use this mode.
AT command mode
User can enter AT command mode and send AT commands by serial to query/set W610 parameters(Enter AT command mode will disable transparent transmission mode and make serial port to send/receive AT commands). In this mode, all settings will be saved automatically and module will enter transparent transmission mode after sending AT+ENTM to exit AT command mode.

Serial Free-Frame mode
- W610 will continually check the interval between two adjacent bytes when W610 receives the data from serial side. If this interval > serial Free-Frame triggering time(Default is 50ms and user can use AT commend to configure triggering time), it will be considered as end of a package and W610 will send received data as a TCP package data to network. Otherwise W610 will receive data to 4K bytes and send these 4K bytes as a TCP package data to network.
- Suppose n ms is serial package triggering time, if T1>n, T2<n, T3<n, T4<n, T5<n, T6>n, Byte1-Byte5 will be a package.
Serial package method
W610 supports serial package method(include Time Trigger Mode and Length Trigger Mode) and W610 will send received data as TCP package data to network if serial data arrive triggering time or triggering length.
Baud rate synchronization function
When module works with USR devices or software, serial parameters will change dynamically according to network protocol. User can modify serial parameters by sending data conformed to specific protocol via network. It is temporary, after resetting module, the parameters will back to original parameters.

Features

Search in LAN****
- W610 supports ‘Search in LAN’ function: After W610 connecting to an AP, user can send UDP broadcast to a fixed port to acquire W610’s IP address in this AP’s LAN. This function can realize searching module and communication. Default port is 48899 and default keyword is www.usr.cn.
- The whole process as follows:
- Step 1: User can send a keyword(default keyword: www.usr.cn, at most 20 bytes) by UDP broadcast way(broadcast address: xxx.xxx.xxx.255, default port: 48899) on a device which in same LAN as W610.
- Step 2: After W610 receiving keyword, if keyword is correct, W610 will enter configuration mode and return IP, MAC, MID, Version to the device. And W610 will exit configuration mode if no configuration command over 30 seconds after W610 entering configuration mode.
- Step 3: After user entering configuration mode, user can send network AT commands to query/set parameters.(The network AT commands format are same as serial AT commands)
Identity packet function****
- When W610 works in TCP Client mode, user can enable identity packet function. Identity packet is used for identifying the device when module works as TCP client. There are two methods to send identity packet.
- Identity packet will be sent after connection is established.
- Identity packet will be added on the front of every data package.
- Identity packet can be 6 bytes MAC address identity packet, user editable identity packet(less than 40 bytes) or USR Cloud identity packet. MAC address identity packet and user editable identity packet can be sent by above both methods, but USR Cloud identity packet can be only sent after connection is established
Usrlink
When W610 works in AP mode will open a UDP port to receive usrlink commands(Port number 48899, same as ‘Search in LAN’ function and can be changed).
The whole process as follows:
- Step 1: User should directly connect phone which has download UsrAutoLink APP to W610 in AP mode through WIFI.
- Step 2: Query the surrounding SSID.
- Step 3: Choose the SSID, enter password and phone will send the configuration parameters to W610.
- Step 4: After receiving configuration parameters protocol, W610 will pares it and acquire the AP’s SSID and password, save them to flash, then reset and connect to AP.
Keep-Alive function
W610 supports Keep-Alive function of TCP connection. W610 will disconnect to network when network connection exceptions occur and will also reconnect to server after network connection restoring.
Heartbeat packet function
Heartbeat packet: In transparent transmission mode, module can output heartbeat packet to serial side or network side periodic. User can configure the heartbeat packet data(less than 40 bytes and in HEX format) and sending interval(1~65535s).
- Serial heartbeat packet can be used for polling Modbus data or other querying commands.
- Network heartbeat packet can be used for showing connection status and keeping the connection (only take effect in TCP/UDP Client mode). When connection exceptions happen, W610 can’t send heartbeat packet to network server successfully and will reconnect to server after sending unsuccessfully over three times.
Web socket function
W610 supports Web socket server function which can realize real-time communication between serial side and web page and user can use this function in W610 Web Server(Web socket function occupies W610 port 8000). Web socket server supports at most 8 client connections simultaneously.
Timeout reset function
After enabling timeout reset function in transparent transmission mode, if W610 has no WIFI connection or has WIFI connection but no data transmission and these two situations last over a setting time, W610 will reset. This time is range from 60~65535s and default is 3600s.
