Unpacking

The EVB has been carefully packed with special attention to quality. However, should you find any component damaged or missing, please contact your sales representative in due time.

The EVB contains the following:

• A VT-MOB-AH module soldered on a carrier board
• A 12V/1A DC power adapter

Actual accessories might vary slightly from the list above as the customer order might be different from the standard configuration options.
The VT-MOB-AH-EVB supports both Wi-Fi HaLow AP and STA modes. When it operates in the station mode, it is designed to be used in combination with a Wi-Fi HaLow access point. We recommend that you use Vantron HAP 101/HAP 103 Wi-Fi HaLow AP for that purpose. Please refer to Appendix A for the specifications of HAP 101.

Power Characteristics

• VT-MOB-AH-EVB is designed to work with 9V ~ 12V DC power input. It is recommended that a 12V/1A power adapter be used.

QUICK START

The VT-MOB-AH-EVB evaluation board supports both Wi-Fi HaLow AP and STA modes. When it operates in the station mode, it is recommended you use Vantron HAP 101/HAP 103, which supports both 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi HaLow standards, as the access point. This chapter uses HAP 101 to demonstrate how to connect VT- MOB-AH-EVB (STA mode) to the access point using Wi-Fi HaLow technology.

Access Point Setup

HAP 101 runs on VantronOS system which is accessible from a host computer via two methods, depending on how the host computer is connected to the Internet.

• Option 1— 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connection: Use the wireless IP of the device as the login address.
• Option 2— Ethernet connection: Use the WAN port IP of the device as the login address.

It is important to note that when logging in to VantronOS for HAP 101, the IP address of the host computer must be on the same network as HAP 101.
Since the Ethernet jack of HAP 101 operates in the WAN area by default, the WAN port IP address of the device cannot be determined without removing the upper cover to debug the device using the debug UART.
Therefore, regardless of the option you choose, you need to identify the wireless IP of the device and log in to VantronOS first.

VantronOS login via Option 1

1. Power on the device and the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi will be turned on by default;
2. Connect the host computer to HAP 101 via 2.4GHz Wi-Fi using the SSID and password provided on the device label;
3. Check the details of the wireless connection on the host computer and identify the gateway IP of the wireless connection;
4. Log in VantronOS for HAP 101 using the gateway IP identified in prior step;
   • username: root
   • password: rootpassword
5. Navigate to Network > Interfaces to check the interface information of the device (the virtual LAN port IP is the current login address of VantronOS for HAP 101).

VantronOS login via option 2

1. Connect the host computer to a router/switch using an Ethernet cable;
2. Connect HAP 101 to the same router/switch using an Ethernet cable;
3. Connect the host computer to the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi of HAP 101 using the SSID and default password provided on the device label;
4. Log in to VantronOS via the steps in option 2;
5. Navigate to Network > Interfaces to identify the WAN port address of HAP 101;
6. Log in to VantronOS for HAP 101 using the WAN port IP identified in the prior step.
   • username: root // password: rootpassword

After logging in to VantronOS, you can proceed with the configurations

Since the virtual LAN port IP (172.18.1.1) of HAP 101 coincides with the default Ethernet IP address of VT-MOB-AH-EVB, you are advised to modify this IP to another one (e.g., 172.18.2.1) and the modified IP address will be the default host for the MQTT messaging.

1. Click the Edit button behind the LAN port;
2. Assign a new LAN port IP (e.g., 172.18.2.1) to HAP 101 and save the changes;
3. Navigate to Network > HaLow Wi-Fi;
4. Set the Wi-Fi mode to AP and configure the SSID, encryption, and password under the General Setting tab, then click the Save & Apply button;
5. You can then proceed to configure the device under the Advanced Setting tab.
   • Note: US is the default country code.

Host Computer Setup

The Ethernet IP of the VT-MOB-AH-EVB evaluation board is set to 172.18.1.1 by default, which is used as the login address of the web interface for the evaluation board.
Since the Ethernet jack of VT-MOB-AH-EVB works in the LAN area with DHCP server enabled by default, users can login to the web interface directly with its Ethernet IP when connecting VT-MOB-AH-EVB to a host computer using an Ethernet cable.

Note: The IP address of the host computer shall be on the same network.

To make future operations easier, it is recommended that you connect VT-MOB- AH-EVB, HAP 101, and the host computer separately to a router/switch using Ethernet cables and assign two static IP addresses to the host computer so that you can login the web interfaces of VT-MOB-AH-EVB and HAP 101 simultaneously on the host computer.

1. Access the Ethernet adapter options and open the properties of Internet IPv4;
2. Assign a static IP address to the host computer within the same network as HAP 101;
3. Then click the Advanced button in the Properties window;
4. Click Add in the new window and input an IP address within the same network as VT-MOB-AH-EVB;
5. Click OK one by one to close the windows;
6. Now you can proceed to log in to the web portals of VT-MOB-AH-EVB and HAP 101 separately on the host computer.

Note: You don’t necessarily need assign two static IP addresses to the host computer as long as you make sure the IP address of the host computer is within the same network as VT-MOB-AH-EVB or HAP 101 when logging in to the web portal of the specific device.
