<Notes>
nReload Pin (Button) function：
1. When this pin is set to “low” during module boot up, the module will enter wireless
firmware and config upgrade mode. This mode is used for customer manufacture.
(High-Flying will provide software tools for customer batch configuration and
upgrade firmware during mass production)
2. After module is powered up, short press this button ( “Low” < 3s ) to make the
module go into “Smart Link “ config mode, waiting for APP to set password and
other information.
3. After module is powered up, long press this button ( “Low” > 3s ) to make the
module recover to factory setting.
High-Flying strongly suggest customer fan out this pin to connector or button for
“Manufacture” and “ Smart Link” application.
nLink Pin (LED) function：
1. At wireless firmware and config upgrade mode , this LED used to indicate configure
and upgrade status.
2. At “Smart Link “ config mode, this LED used to indicate APP to finish setting.
3. At normal mode, it’s Wi-Fi link status indicator
High-Flying strongly suggest customer fan out this pin to LED.

1.3. Typical Application
1.3.1. Hardware Typical Application
Figure 8. HF-LPB100 Hardware Typical Application
Notes:
nReset- Module hardware reset signal. Input. Logics “0” effective.
There is pull-up resister internal and no external pull-up required. When module power up or some
issue happened, MCU need assert nRST signal “0” at least 10ms, then set” 1” to keep module fully
reset.
nLink- Module WIFI connection status indication. Output.
(This pin is recommend to connect to LED, indicate status when the module in wireless
upgrade mode)
When module connects to AP (AP associated), this pin will output “0”. This signal used to judge if
module already at WiFi connection status. Thers is pull-up resister internal and no external pull-up
required. If nLink function not required, can leave this pin open.
nReady- Module boot up ready signal. Output. Logics “0” effective.
The module will output “0” after normal boot up. This signal used to judge if module finish boot up and
ready for application or working at normal mode. If nReady function not required, can leave this pin
open.
nReload- Module restore to factory default configuration.Input. Logics “0” effective.

(This pin is recommend to connect to button, is used to enter wireless upgrade mode)
User can de-assert nReload signal “0” more than 3s through button or MCU pin, then release, module
will restore to factory default configuration and re-start boot up process.. If nReload function not
required, can leave this pin open.
Sleep_RQ- Module Pin Sleep Control. Input.
The user should de-assert this pin low “0”, after 3’s assert to high ”1” to put the module to sleep status.
Also at the deep sleep/standby mode, user can de-assert this pin low “0”, after 1’s assert to high ”1” to
put the module to wake up the module. If Sleep_RQ function not required, can leave this pin open.
Sleep_ON- Module Pin Sleep Indicator. Output.
This pin is used to indicate that the module is asleep (Module output “0”) or awake (Module output “1”)
status. If user doesn't use pin sleep function, can leave this pin open.
UART0_TXD/RXD- UART port data transmit and receive signal.

2. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
2.1. Wireless Networking
HF-LPB100 module can be configured as both wireless STA and AP base on network type. Logically
there are two interfaces in HF-LPB100. One is for STA, and another is for AP. When HF-LPB100
works as AP, other STA equipments are able to connect to wireless LAN via HF-LPB100 module.
Wireless Networking with HF-LPB100 is very flexible.
Notes:
AP: that is the wireless Access Point, the founder of a wireless network and the centre of the network
nodes. The wireless router we use at home or in office may be an AP.
STA: short for Station, each terminal connects to a wireless network (such as laptops, PDA and other
networking devices) can be called with a STA device.
2.1.1. Basic Wireless Network Based On AP (Infrastructure)
Infrastructure: it’s also called basic network. It built by AP and many STAs which join in.
The characters of network of this type are that AP is the centre, and all communication between STAs
is transmitted through the AP. The figure following shows such type of networking.
Figure 9. HF-LPB100 Basic Wireless Network Structure
2.1.2. Wireless Network Based On AP+STA
HF-LPB100 module support AP+STA network mode, means module support one AP interface and
one STA interface at the same time, as following figure,
