Users can choose the profile to configure it by selecting its number. 22 Antaira Industrial Wireless Serial Device Server Series STW-61xC & STW-62xC User Manual V 1.0 Enable: This row only shows when the Wireless Profile function is enabled. Only the enabled profiles will show in the Profiles page. SSID: specifies the SSID (network name) that STW-61xC should connect to wirelessly. There is a Scan Network button to the right of the empty box, once this button is clicked, the device will search for available wireless networks to connect to. BSSID: this refers to the Access Point MAC address on which the STW-61xC & STW-62xC series should connect to. Enabling this option will lock the unit to that Access Point, so the unit would not roam to another Access Point with the same SSID. Wi-Fi Direct Group Owner Mode: the Wi-Fi Direct function allows users to configure a secured wireless network between the devices without using access points. In a Wi-Fi Direct group, the group owner works as an access point in the Wi-Fi infrastructure mode and the other devices join the group as clients. STW-61xC supports Wi-Fi Direct Group Owner (GO) mode using push button method of WPS with WPA2-PSK security and AES encryption. WPS BUTTON: the acronym stands for Wi-Fi Protected Setup, PBC stands for Push Button Configuration. To use this feature, first trigger the WPS process in the Access Point and click on the WPS PBC button on units UI. The AP and the STW-61xC should connect automatically. Note that the topology set in this case should be infrastructure and the Wireless Mode should be Auto. Note that this button is unavailable when the Wireless Profiles is enabled. Topology: Infrastructure (for connecting to an Access Point) or Adhoc (for connecting to a wireless client). Note that Ad-Hoc mode is unavailable when the Wireless Profiles is enabled. Band Mode: 802.11b, 802.11b/g, 802.11b/g/n are available. This is recommended to leave this option as Auto for STW-61xC to sense the best available mode. Tx Rate: different rates are available, it is suggested to leave this to Best (auto). This option is disabled when the band mode is set to Auto. Channel: the available channels would depend on the band mode and the regulatory domain selected in the Wireless Advanced Settings. This option is disabled when the band mode is set to Auto. Bandwidth: select between 20 MHz or 40 MHz; the latter fills a larger spectrum, hence it provides a better throughput if it is allowed by the Access Point. It is not recommended to use 40 MHz@2.4 GHz
(802.11b/g/n). Secondary Channel: the second channel STW-61xC will use, when the 40 MHz bandwidth is enabled. Authentication Mode: Select between OPEN, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA2 (PEAP), WPA2(EAP-TLS), and WPA2(EAP-TTLS). Encryption Type: Select between WEP, TKIP and AES. Please be aware that WEP and TKIP are not supported by the 802.11n standard, so the wireless link speed would be limited to 54Mbps. WEP Key: Enable when Authentication is set to OPEN and Encryption is set to WEP. Up to 4 different hexadecimal or ASCII keys can be entered in this section. WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK Passphrase: Enable when Authentication is set to WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK. It 23 Antaira Industrial Wireless Serial Device Server Series STW-61xC & STW-62xC User Manual V 1.0 can be between 8 and 63 characters long. WPA2 (with RADIUS): Depending on the Authentication Mode selected, different fields would be enabled. WPA2 (PEAP) would require you to provide the user, password, and the certificates. WPA2
(EAP-TLS) would require you to provide the certificates and private key password. WPA2 (EAP-TTLS) would require you to provide the user, password, and the certificates. Please note that only *.pem certificates are supported. Please be reminded that 2.4 GHz frequency is easily interfered by other devices that operate in the same region (namely, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Microwave, etc.). Steps to Connect to an Access Point Input the SSID of the connecting Access Point or using the Scan network to let the unit search the necessary wireless information of surrounding access points within the devices coverage area. Please be noted the process may take around 10 seconds. Once the unit has finished the scanning, names and basic properties of available networks will be shown as in Figure 4.12. Then, users can select an AP from the list and the settings would be loaded to the devices UI automatically. Figure 4.12 24 Antaira Industrial Wireless Serial Device Server Series STW-61xC & STW-62xC User Manual V 1.0 Below Figure 4.13 shows theres no wireless network is available. 4.5.3 Advanced Settings Figure 4.13 The Advanced Settings provides details on wireless network parameters for performance tuning. Please be aware any changes in this section may affect overall performance. Please refer to Figure 4.14 as a reference. Figure 4.14 Radio Off This allows the users to turn off the wireless completely, when it is enabled. Fast Handoff This allows the unit to reduce the roaming time to pick up next access point signal, when it is enabled. Fast Roaming It allows STW-61xC & STW-62xC series unit to scan for available Access Points in the background to speed up roaming when necessary, when this option is enabled. Roaming Threshold When this option is enabled, it will allow STW-61xC & STW-62xC series unit try to connect to another Access Point when the wireless signal falls below the selected range. Tx Power The users can reduce the Transmission Power rate for the STW-61xC & STW-62xC series unit, in order to prevent wireless interference to other wireless networks. 25 Antaira Industrial Wireless Serial Device Server Series STW-61xC & STW-62xC User Manual V 1.0 4.6 Serial 4.6.1 COM Port Overview This section will only focus on the serial settings. Below Figure 4.15 shows the COM Port overview. Detail about the Connectivity Protocols and the settings will be described in the Section 5.1 Link Modes and Applications. Figure 4.15 26 Antaira Industrial Wireless Serial Device Server Series STW-61xC & STW-62xC User Manual V 1.0 4.6.2 COM Configuration Users are required to configure the Serial Settings as below shown Figure 4.16 with the exact parameter information as the serial device. Figure 4.16 Serial Interface:
Baud Rate:
Users are required to select the serial interface among RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 to match the exact serial interface from the serial device. Users can use the dropdown box to select one of the Baud Rates as the serial device. Parity / Data Bits / Stop Bits: Users are required to configure them according to the serial devices parameter information. Flow Control:
Users can have option to choose the Flow Control among None (No Flow Control), Xon/Xoff (Software Flow Control), or RTS/CTS (Hardware Flow Control) for the application.
-
If Xon/Xoff is selected, Xon and Xoff characters are changeable. Defaults are 0x11 for Xon and 0x13 for Xoff.
- The check box of Permit Xon/Xoff Character Pass Through is required to be checked, if the connecting program or serial device would require to receive the Xon/Xoff signals as well, 27 Antaira Industrial Wireless Serial Device Server Series STW-61xC & STW-62xC User Manual V 1.0 4.6.3 COM Configuration: Advanced Settings Figure 4.7 TCP TCP Timeout: Specify the value in TCP Timeout to force STW-61xC & STW-62xC series actively close a TCP connection after some specific inactivity time (no packets). The default value for it is 3600 seconds. Disabling this option means the unit would never actively close an established connection. Delimiters Serial to Network Packet Delimiter: Packet delimiter is a way of packing data in the serial communication. It is designed to keep packets in track. STW-61xC & STW-62xC series provides three types of delimiter: Time Delimiter, Maximum Bytes and Character Delimiter. Note that the following delimiters (Interval, Max Byte and Character) are programmed in the OR logic. Meaning that if any of the three conditions were met, STW-61xC & STW-62xC series would transmit the serial data in its buffer over the network. Interval timeout: STW-61xC & STW-62xC series will transmit the serial data in its buffer when the specified time interval has reached and no more serial data comes in. The default value is calculated automatically based on the baud rate. If the automatic value results in chopped data, the 28 Antaira Industrial Wireless Serial Device Server Series STW-61xC & STW-62xC User Manual V 1.0 timeout could be increased manually by switching to Manual setting and specifying a larger value. Attention Interval Timeout Manual Calculation The optimal Interval timeout depends on the application, but it must be at least larger than one character interval within the specified baud rate. For example, assuming that the serial port is set to 1200 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. In this case, the total number of bits needed to send a character is 10 bits, and the time required to transfer one character is
(10 (bits)/1200 (bits/s))*1000 (ms/s) = 8.3 ms. Therefore, users should set the Interval timeout to be larger than 8.3 ms. Rounding 8.3 ms to the next integer would get in 9 ms. Max Byte: STW-61xC & STW-62xC series will transmit the serial data in its buffer when the specified length has reached. Enable this option will allow the unit to queue the data until it reaches a specific length. This option is disabled by default. Character: STW-61xC & STW-62xC series will transmit the serial data in its buffer when it sees the incoming data include the specified character (in HEX format). This field allows one or two characters. If character delimiter is set to 0x0d, the unit will push out its serial buffer when it sees 0x0d (carriage return) in the serial data. This option is disabled by default. Network to Serial Packet Delimiter: Same as the delimiters above, but controls data flow in the opposite direction. It will store data from the network interface in the queue and send it to over to the serial interface until one of the delimiter conditions is met. Character Send Interval: This option specifies the time gap between each character. When set to 2 second, STW-61xC & STW-62xC series would split the data in the queue and only transmit one character
(byte) every two second. This option is disabled by default. Response Interval Timeout: This option only affects the Request & Response Mode and has no effect on the Transparent Mode. When TCP data is received (request) and passed to Serial side, the device will wait for the set time before transferring another TCP data if the Serial side did not receive any data
(response). 29 Antaira Industrial Wireless Serial Device Server Series STW-61xC & STW-62xC User Manual V 1.0 Serial Serial FIFO: By default, STW-61xC & STW-62xC series has its FIFO function enabled to optimize its serial performance. In some applications (particularly when the flow control is enabled), it may deem necessary to disable the FIFO function to minimize the amount of data that is transmitted through the serial interface after a flow off event is triggered to reduce the possibility of overloading the buffer inside the serial device. Please note that disabling this option on baud rates higher than 115200bps would reduce the data integrity noticeably. Serial Buffer: By default, STW-61xC & STW-62xC series will empty its serial buffer when a new TCP connection is established. This means that the TCP application will not receive buffered serial data during a TCP link breakage. To keep the serial data when there is no TCP connection and send out the buffered serial data immediately after a TCP connection is established, disable this option. 30 Antaira Industrial Wireless Serial Device Server Series STW-61xC & STW-62xC User Manual V 1.0 4.7 SNMP/ALERT Settings The SNMP is used by network management software to monitor devices in a network to retrieve network status information and to configure network parameters.

The default settings will have public for Read Community and private for Write Community. In case the device raises an alert due to any unexpected incident, a message will be dispatched to a SNMP trap server. Users are required to specify the IP Address of the SNMP Trap Server to collect all alert messages. Any changes made will take effect after the device is restarted. There are five events that will trigger the alarm; these alerts are useful for security control or security monitoring:
Cold Start, when there is a power interruption. Warm Start, when the device resets. Authentication Failure, when an incorrect username or password is entered. Any of the five events would trigger an alert. When these options are checked and enabled, an email alert would be sent to the designated address in the E-Mail Settings. A Trap alert would be sent to the designated Trap server in the SNMP Settings. IP Address Changed, when the devices IP is changed. Password Changed, when the administrator password is changed. 32 Antaira Industrial Wireless Serial Device Server Series STW-61xC & STW-62xC User Manual V 1.0 4.8 E-mail Settings In case the device raises an alert and/or warning message, it will send an email to the administrators mailbox.

Under the three Link Modes, as shown in below Figure 5.1, TCP Server can support RAW, Virtual COM, or Reverse Telnet applications. TCP Client can support Virtual COM application. Figure 5.1 5.1.1 Link Mode: Configure STW-61xC & STW-62xC series as a TCP Server STW-61xC & STW-62xC Series can be configured as a TCP server in a TCP/IP Network to listen for an incoming TCP client connection to a serial device. After the connection is established between the serial device server and the host computer, data can be transmitted in both directions; this also applies whenever the VCOM is running on server mode. Please be reminded that this is the devices default link mode. Figure 5.2 45 Antaira Industrial Wireless Serial Device Server Series STW-61xC & STW-62xC User Manual V 1.0 Figure 5.3 STW-61xC & STW-62xC series defaults in TCP Server mode, there are additional connection settings that can be configured as above Click on the COM1 link on the left hand side. Figure 5.3 46 Antaira Industrial Wireless Serial Device Server Series STW-61xC & STW-62xC User Manual V 1.0 TCP Server is the default link mode There are 3 different options when selecting TCP Server in the Link Modes for the application. RAW Virtual COM There is no protocol on this mode, meaning the data is passed transparently. It allows the device to communicate with a virtualized port from the client. It will create a Virtual COM port on Windows/Linux, in order to communicate with the device as a Client. Reverse Telnet It is used to connect the device and another serial device (usually a Terminal Server) with a Telnet program. Telnet programs in Windows / Linux usually require special handshaking to get the outputs and formatting show properly. The STW-61xC series will interact with those special commands (CR/LF commands) once Reverse Telnet is enabled. Enter the Local Port, this option specifies the port number that the server should listen to; it is used by the client to connect to the server. Default local port is 4660. When finished the setting, please scroll to the bottom of the page and click on Save & Apply button to save the changes. For more information about serial settings, please refer to Sec. 4.6.2. For more information about Advanced settings information, please refer to Sec.4.6.3. Response Behavior Request & Response Mode, it determines how the device will proceed when it receives requests from connected hosts. Under this mode, the port will hold requests from all other connected hosts until the serial device replies or the Response Interval timeout takes into effect to discard it; however, unrequested data sent from the serial device would be forwarded to all connected hosts. Reply to requester only, the port will reply to the connected host who requested the data only. Reply to all, a reply is sent to all connected hosts. Transparent mode, the port will forward requests from all connected hosts to the serial device immediately and reply to all connected hosts once it receives data from the serial device. Other important variables to consider are:
IP Filter, enables the Source IP option below to block an IP address from accessing the COM port. Source IP, specifies the devices Source IP which will be transmitting data to our Server. In other words, our Server will only allow data from this IP to flow (hence its own name implies Source IP); only one source is allowed. Maximum Connection, the number of devices/clients (max. of 4 clients), to be served is set in this section. Note: LINK1 is associated with COM1; LINK2 is associated with COM2, and so on. 47 Antaira Industrial Wireless Serial Device Server Series STW-61xC & STW-62xC User Manual V 1.0 5.1.2 Link Mode: Configure STW-61xC as a TCP Client STW-61xC & STW-62xC series can be configured as a TCP client in TCP/IP Network to establish a connection with a TCP server in the host computer. After the connection is established, data can be transmitted between a serial device and a host computer in both directions; this also applies to Virtual COM running in the client mode. Figure 5.4 Figure 5.5 48 Antaira Industrial Wireless Serial Device Server Series STW-61xC & STW-62xC User Manual V 1.0 By selecting the TCP Client mode, it means that a TCP Server program should be prepared to connect to STW-61xC & STW-62xC series unit. Above Figure 5.5 shows all the settings provided for the TCP Client. Click on the COM1 link on the left hand side. Figure 5.6 Select TCP Client in the Link modes. Only two communication modes are available here: RAW and Virtual COM which definitions are the same as above in Sec. 5.1.1 Enter the preferred Destination IP and Port. This should match the IP settings of the TCP Server program. Enable and enter Destination IP 2 and Port 2 if necessary. Two different servers can be set here (for redundancy), the second server has to be enabled by ticking the box. 49 Antaira Industrial Wireless Serial Device Server Series STW-61xC & STW-62xC User Manual V 1.0 Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on Save & Apply button to save the changes. 5.1.3 Link Mode: Configure STW-61xC & STW-62xC series in UDP UDP is a faster but connectionless network protocol; it does not guarantee the delivery of network datagram. The STW-61xC & STW-62xC series can be configured to transfer data using unicast or multicast UDP from the serial device to one or multiple host computers, data can be transmitted between serial device and host computer in both directions. There is no server or client concept on this protocol, they are called peers or nodes. So here you only need to specify the Local Port that we should listen to and specify the Destination IPs of the remote UDP nodes. Figure 5.7 Figure 5.8 50 Antaira Industrial Wireless Serial Device Server Series STW-61xC & STW-62xC User Manual V 1.0 the STW-61xC & STW-62xC series also supports connectionless UDP protocol compared connection-oriented TCP protocol. Please be aware that it does not guarantee data delivery. It is recommended to utilize UDP only with cyclic polling protocols where each request is repeated and independent, such as Modbus Protocol. Figure 5.9 shows the UDP settings. to Click on the COM1 link on the left hand side. Figure 5.9 Select UDP in the Link Modes. Destination IP and Port: Specify the Begin and End IP here. Four groups of range IPs are allowed. This is the IP address of the UDP program and the Port it is listening to. Note that the maximum number of UDP nodes that the unit can handle would highly depend on the traffic load. We have tested that STW-61xC can handle up to 200 UDP nodes (baud rate 9600 bps, request interval 100ms, and data length 30bytes). Enter the Local Listening Port. This is the port that the unit should listen to. Match this setting in the UDP program (usually called destination port in the UDP program).

This will allow the Virtual COM port in the Windows/Linux system to access STW-61xC & STW-62xC series units COM ports. The benefit of using Virtual COM is that rewriting an existing COM program to read IP packets is unnecessary. In other words, it is possible to use an ordinary serial (COM) program. The conversion/virtualization of IP to COM is all done in the system driver transparently. Below Figure 5.10 shows STW-61xC & STW-62xC series unit is in TCP Server mode with Virtual COM enabled. Figure 5.10 Follow Sec. 5.1.1 to configure STW-61xC & STW-62xC series unit in TCP Server mode properly. Click on the dropdown box of the Application option and switch to Virtual COM to enabled Virtual COM application in the unit. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on Save & Apply button to save the changes. Configure Virtual COM in the Operating System. For Windows, please refer to Chapter 6. Please write down the units IP address and the Local Port info, in order to enter the information for the Serial/IP Virtual COMs Control Panel later. 5.2.2 TCP Server Application: Enable RFC 2217 The underlying protocol of Virtual COM is based on RFC 2217, the Telnet COM Control Option. Therefore, it is 52 Antaira Industrial Wireless Serial Device Server Series STW-61xC & STW-62xC User Manual V 1.0 possible to use RFC 2217 with STW-61xC & STW-62xC series unit in the TCP Server mode.
