1 Overview
1.1 Overview
Including PCs, almost all communication devices communicate over a serial interface.
Serial communication is the standard protocol that transmits and receives data in a bit
order. It is broadly used in the world due to its simple process whilst it has disadvantages
such as distance limitation and high installation/maintenance cost.
CSW-H85K is a converter enabling serial devices to support TCP/IP communication
through wireless LAN. It carries out the converting process with TCP/IP protocol, so that
facilitate remote control and monitoring system.
1.2 Features
connect serial devices to IEEE 802.11b/g wireless LAN
IPv4/IPv6 dual stack
Soft AP mode: support WEP and simple DHCP server
various WLAN securities: WPA-PSK, WPA-Enterprise (EAP-TLS/TTLS, PEAP)
Wireless RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) mode
RS232/RS422/RS485 interface
SMA connector for an external antenna
stable embedded TCP/IP stack
easy configuration program (ezManager / web configuration)

2 Installation and Test
2.1 WLAN Overview
CSW-H85K supports IEEE802.11b/g. IEEE802.11 standard that is called Wi-Fi has two
network topologies, Infrastructure and Ad-hoc mode.
For security, CSW-H85K supports WEP, WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK.
2.1.1 WLAN mode: Infrastructure
In this mode, every wireless LAN station communicates through an Access Point (AP) so
that all stations can be connected to Ethernet, because AP is able to interface witch both
wireless LAN and wired LAN (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.

2.1.2 WLAN mode: Ad-hoc
Wireless LAN stations communicate each other without an AP in this mode. Therefore,
you can easily make this network. It is suitable for the situation when there is no wired LAN
requirement on a small-scale network. Usually, it is called peer-to-peer mode.
Figure 2-3 Ad-hoc mode
Select [Ad-hoc] on [Wireless LAN] tab of ezManager.

http://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, a wireless client allows
communicate with not only laptops and smartphone but also devices which don’t have Ad-
hoc function.
CSW-H85K supports Soft AP function. While operating in this function, it has 10.1.0.1 as
its IP address and assigns an IP address of 10.1.X.X to each of clients. (A simple DHCP
server)
Figure 2-5 Soft AP mode
Although this function is automatically operated in Serial Configuration mode, you can
set manually on [Wireless LAN] tab of ezManager like the figure below.
