2 Installation and Test

2.1 Wireless LAN Overview

CSW-B85 supports IEEE802.11b/g called wireless LAN briefly. It has two network

topologies and those are Infrastructure and Ad-hoc mode.

2.1.1 WLAN mode: Infrastructure

In this mode, every wireless LAN station communicates through an Access Point (AP),

which is able to interface with both wireless LAN and Ethernet, so that all stations can be

connected to Ethernet.

Figure 2-1 infrastructure mode

Select [Infrastructure] on [Wireless LAN] tab of ezManager.

Figure 2-2 setting of Infrastructure



You can download ezManager on our website.

CSW-B85 User Manual Ver. 2.7

- 14 -

https://www.ezTCP.com

2.1.2 WLAN mode: Ad-hoc

This is an easy way to set up network since wireless LAN stations communicate each

other without an AP in this mode. Therefore, you can easily make this network. It is suitable

for a small-scale network if wired LAN is not available. Usually, it is called peer-to-peer

mode.

Figure 2-3 Ad-hoc mode

Select [Ad-hoc] on [Wireless LAN] tab of ezManager.

Figure 2-4 setting of Ad-hoc

CSW-B85 User Manual Ver. 2.7

- 15 -

https://www.ezTCP.com

2.1.3 WLAN mode: Soft AP

Soft AP (Software embedded Access Point) is a mode that a wireless client can act as an

AP through software embedded AP functions. Using this mode, the wireless client allows

you to communicate with not only laptops and smartphones but also devices without Ad-

hoc function.

CSW-B85 supports Soft AP function. While operating in this function, it has an IP address

of 10.1.0.1 and assigns one of 10.1.X.X IP addresses to each wireless client. (A simple DHCP

server)

Figure 2-5 Soft AP mode

Although this function is automatically operated in Serial Configuration mode, you can

set this function manually on [Wireless LAN] tab of ezManager like the figure below.

Figure 2-6 setting of Soft AP



You can download ezManager application for a smart phone on our website.

CSW-B85 User Manual Ver. 2.7

- 16 -

https://www.ezTCP.com

2.1.4 Key terms

⚫ SSID (Service Set Identifier)

It is a name to identify wireless LAN. So, every single station should have the same

SSID to communicate in the network. In the case of infrastructure mode, you have to

set the same SSID at an AP to CSW-B85. Otherwise, it will not communicate at all.

The maximum length of this parameter is 31 bytes and the default is “sollae”.

⚫ Channel

Wireless LAN stations communicate through the ISM (Industrial, Scientific, and

Medical) band which has the range of frequencies around 2.4GHz or 5GHz. IEEE

802.11 specification divides this band into 14 channels. If you install more than one

wireless network in the same area, the channels should have intervals more than 4

channels between each other to avoid interferences.

2.1.5 Authentication and Security

⚫ Authentication

A wireless LAN station should get authentication from the AP in the infrastructure

network. There are two methods for the authentication and those are: Open system

and the Shared key.

⚫ WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)

The WEP is a security protocol for wireless LAN. You need to set 64-bit or 128-bit key.

You can use both hexadecimal and ASCII code for this.

⚫ WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)

WPA is a security standard for users of devices equipped with wireless connection. It

has been improved to replace the weakness of the original wireless security standard,

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). There are two modes about the user authentication

in WPA security. One is Enterprise which has an authentication server and the other is

PSK (Pre-Shared Key) which does not have any servers.

⚫ WPA2

For final security of Wireless LAN, The Counter Mode with Cipher Block Changing

Message Authentication Code Protocol (CCMP) was suggested for IEEE80211i

(Wireless LAN standard) to replace the TKIP. CCMP uses Advanced Encryption

Standard (AES) which is adopted by WPA2. WPA 2 has also both Enterprise and PSK

mode.

2.2 Installation

Before testing CSW-B85, make sure that a connection between your PC and CSW-B85 is

established via Serial and wireless LAN. When you connect RS232 port of your PC to CSW-

B85, you should connect TX, RX and GND pin on P1 (or P2) port with cross over cable. This

section is an example which is based on Infrastructure mode.

Figure 2-7 WLAN and RS232 connection using a laptop

2.2.1 Making Wireless LAN link

When you connect an AP or wireless LAN adapter to your PC, Wireless LAN link is not

automatically established. Therefore, its parameters should be set on CSW-B85 beforehand.

⚫ Setting by Serial

① Supplying Power

Supply power to the board.

② Change the mode to [Serial Configuration mode]

Change the operation mode to Serial Configuration mode.



Please refer to the table 1-8 or 1-9 to switch the operation mode from normal

mode to serial configuration mode.

③ Reading environmental parameters

Run ezManager and open the COM port. And then, press the [Read] button.

④ Configuring Wireless LAN Parameters

Figure 2-9 an example for setting WLAN parameters

Check the [WLAN topology] is selected to [Infrastructure]. Input the SSID of your AP to

the [SSID] item. Note that the SSID is case-sensitive. If your wireless network has a security

option, input the passphrase to [Shared Key] item. After setting all, save the settings by

clicking [Write] button. If your CSW-B85 is successfully connected to the AP, LINK LED on

the top panel will be turned on.

⚫ Setting by Soft AP

In case that you cannot use serial port, Soft AP function allow you to set those

parameters as follows;

① Supplying Power

② Entering Serial Configuration mode

Soft AP is automatically activated when products are under Serial Configuration mode.

③ Connecting to WLAN using Soft AP

Connect laptop or smartphone to WLAN network made by product's Soft AP function.

The SSID is "cfg_MAC Address". (e.g. cfg_0030f9000001)
