nReload Pin (Button) function:
1. After module is powered up, short press this button (0.2< “Low” <1.5s) and loose to
make the module go into “SmartLink“config mode, waiting for APP to set password
and other information. Download SmartLink V8 APP as following link:
http://www.hi-flying.com/download-center-1/applications-1/download-item-smartlink-v8
2. After module is powered up, long press this button (“Low” > 4s) and loose to make
the module recover to factory setting.
2.2. RS485 Interface
RS485 use two wire links, A(DATA+), B(DATA-). Connect A(+) to A(+), B(-) to B(-) for communication.
Suggest to connect GND together when interference is very severe.
The RS485 interface support maximum 32 RS485 device. The cable maximum length is 1200 meters.
Need to add 120Ohm terminal resistor for over 300 meters.

3.NETWORK STRUCTURE
3.1. Wireless Network
Product can be set as a wireless STA and AP as well. And logically, it supports two wireless interfaces,
one is used as STA and the other is AP. Other STA devices can join into the wireless network through
AP interface. So it can provide flexible networking method and network topology.
AP: Wireless access point which is the central joint. Usually, wireless router is a AP, other STA
devices can connect with AP to join the network.
STA: Wireless station which is terminal of a wireless network. Such as laptop and pad etc.
3.1.1. AP Network
All the STA devices connect to the device AP transfer data to PLC device. Note the STA devices can
not communicate to each other due to PW11 does not support router function, if need this function,
use PW21/HF2211/HF2221
Figure 6. General AP Network
Protoss-PW11 User Manual

3.1.2. STA Wireless Network
Take the following picture as example. When router works in AP mode, product connects to the user’
s devices by RS485 interface. In this topology, the whole wireless network can be easily stretched.
Figure 7. STA Application
3.1.3. AP+STA Wireless Network
Product can support AP+STA method. It can support AP and STA interface at the same time.Shown
as follow:
Protoss-PW11 User Manual
http://www.hi-flying.com - 16 -
Figure 8. AP+STA Wireless Network
In this picture, open the AP+STA function and the STA interface can be connected to the remote
server by the router. Similarly, the AP interface can also be used. Phone/PAD can be connected to the
AP interface and to control the serial devices or set itself.
Through AP+STA function, it is convenient to use Phone/PAD to monitor the user’s devices and not
change its original settings.
Notes that:
When the AP+STA function is opened, the STA interface needs to connect to other router.
Otherwise, STA interface will endlessly scan the router information nearby. When it is scanning,
it will bring bad effects to the AP interface, like losing data etc.
AP and STA parts must set to the different sub-network for the product working as APSTA
mode.
Protoss-PW11 User Manual
http://www.hi-flying.com - 17 -
Does not support Wi-Fi repeater function that means device works in AP+STA(STA connects to
router), PC connects to device AP, but can not access to internet (If need this router function,
use PW21/HF2211/HF2221)
3.1.4. IOTService Software
Open the IOTService after PC connect to the AP hotspot generated by product, then config the
parameter.
Figure 9. Config Wi-Fi Parameter
Figure 10. STA Scan Parameter
3.1.5. Webpage Configuration
Use PC to connect with product’s AP. Input the default IP(10.10.100.254, default username and
password: admin/admin) to login the webpage to configure the parameter.
