Part 3: Discovering Your Devices on the Network Using the UDP Broadcast
Protocol
NOTE: You will be observing this section. There is no action required.
The following figure illustrates device discovery via UDP broadcast. The module sends a
UDP broadcast at programmable intervals to make itself discoverable. The UDP
broadcast contains information that identifies the module on the network.
Device Discovery via UDP Broadcast
The UDP broadcast is a fixed 110 byte packet with the following structure:
Roving

Part 4: Communicating with your lab partner over TCP
This lab section will teach you how to:
•Connect from the module to a remote host using TCP (client).
•Connect to module from remote host using TCP (server).
Student A’s module initiates the TCP open and acts as the client. Student B’s module
accepts the TCP connection and acts as the server.
TCP connections are point-to-point connections that provide reliable, guaranteed, in
order data delivery. They are also known as sockets. See the following figure.
TCP Connections
1. Restore the module to the factory defaults:
a. $$$ // Enter command mode.
b. factory RESET // Restore module to factory defaults
c. reboot // Reboot module with factory defaults
2. Associate with AP
a. $$$ // Enter command mode
b. set wlan ssid <string> // Enter AP SSID
c. set wlan pass <string> // Enter AP passphrase
d. set wlan join 1 // Enable auto join
e. save
f. reboot

4. Student A, open a TCP connection to your lab partner:
a. $$$ // Enter command mode
b. open <Lab Partner IP address> 2000 // 2000 is the port number
*OPEN* is shown on student A’s Tera Term window and a packet with *HELLO*
is shown on student B’s Tera Term window.
At this point, either student can type data in their Tera Term window and it is sent
over Wi-Fi to your partner’s module using TCP.
5. Close the TCP connection:
a. $$$ // Enter command mode.
b. close // Issue command to close TCP connection
Tera Term displays the close string, *CLOS*.

Performs an active probe scan of access points on all 13 channels. The
default is 200 ms/channel.
sleep
Puts the module to sleep.
time
Sets the real-time clock by synchronizing with the time server specified
with the time server (set time) parameters.
File I/O Commands
Command
Description
del <string> <value>
