1. WiFi Technology
WiFi(Wireless Fidelity) is any “Wireless Local Area Network(WLAN)” product based on IEEE(Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers) 802.11 standard, mainly using 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency radio band.
WiFi-compatible devices use the technology to communicate wirelessly with each other over the WLAN network
and wireless access points, enabling them to reach approximately 100 meters indoors and further outdoors.
WiFi saves time and money by eliminating the need to lay cables.
It also supports encryption modes for wireless communication security such as Open, WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK,
WPA-Enterprise WPA2-Enterprise and so on.
Benefits that users can gain from using WiFi technology are:
• Wireless communication(Up to 100m Indoor) with low installation cost
• Simple access procedures for quick installation and application
• Secure through encrypted communication

4. Feature
sWiFi/all is a converter that converts wired serial communication to wireless WiFi communication and performs
the following functions.
1) Converts serial signals to wireless
Converts RS232/RS422/RS485 serial signals which requires cable installation to wireless WiFi signals.
2) Supports Various WiFi wireless communication
Supports WiFi wireless communication at low price.
Supports IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n, Dual Band(2.4GHz/5GHz), Infrastructure/Soft AP functions, encryption functions
(Open, WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, Enterprise).
3) Low Power Running Mode
rLory is a low-power product powered by 5V DC and 2W power consumption. If it is difficult to supply power at
all times in the field, it is possible to operate by supplying power using solar panels and batteries.
4) VCP(Virtual Com Port)
Among the utilities provided, the VCP(Virtual Com Port) “ComRedirector” allows users to use the serial port on
sWiFi/all connected to the same network as if it is a serial port mounted on a PC.
It also supports Server/Client mode that can access serial socket.
Utility “sWiFiConfig” allows quick and easy set ups from user perspective.

5. How to Apply
Device/PC – AP – Device Connection (Infrastructure)
In Infrastructure mode, sWiFi/all performs connection between ComRedirector, TCP Server/Client and UDP via AP.
For sWiFi/all to access AP, the IP of the router band can be set to static IP which is a fixed IP, or set as DHCP
which the IP is assigned.
Each sWiFi/all can be connected to an AP wired PC or laptop to communicate.
For communication, each sWiFi/all can be connected to an AP-wired PC, or sWiFi/alls can be connected as
Server/Client each other.

Device/PC – Device Connection (Soft-AP)
Without being connected to AP, sWiFi/all and PC can be connected 1:1 For serial communication.
Between two equipment communicates through serial port, with sWiFi/all attached to each end and connected
1:1, wireless communication is available.
To perform the sWiFi/all connection and communication, select the operating mode of one sWiFi/all with Soft-
AP which operates as AP and the other with Infrastructure so the AP operates as Soft-AP.
At this point, set to either TCP Server on one side and TCP Client on the other, or UDP on both sides to connect
serial socket and communicate. The Soft AP mode of sWiFi/all supports one WiFi connection.
*For detailed setup methods for each connection, please refer to the “Example of Using Setup Method” in
Ch.7 Settings.

6. Get Started
Check the input voltage matches 5V 1A and supply the correct voltage. sWiFi/all starts booting at power-on with
normal power supply. LED shows the operating status of the model including RDY, TXD and RXD. For detailed
information, please refer to CH.3 Product – LED menu.
To view or set up an environment of sWiFi/all, use must use sWiFiConfig utility, either directly connected to serial
port(RS232) or to the IP Address, the network address where sWiFi/all is operating.
(1) Connect sWiFi/all to RS232/USB port on the PC
With the RS232 serial communication port(COM port) installed on PC, put sWiFi/all in setup mode and
perform ‘Connect to sWiFi/all’ using sWiFiConfig. .
(2) Find and connect sWiFi/all to WiFi menu of PC.
To access sWiFi/all setup mode through the network, put sWiFi/all in setup mode, connect to sWiFi/all on PC via
WiFi and perform ‘Connect to sWiFi/all’ using sWiFiConfig.

7. Settings
Apply power to sWiFi/all and press the RST(Reset) switch for less than 3 seconds to operate in setup mode.
RDY(Yellow) LED flashes every 0.4 seconds at this time. Then run the sWiFiConfig utility and launch the
sWiFi>Connect menu on the top menu bar as below.
There are two methods to setup sWiFi/all. One is “Serial” method that connects to the RS232 serial
communication port(COM port) on the PC, and the other is “Network” method that connects the sWiFi/all with
PC WiFi and access to the IP of sWiFi/all for settings.
1) “Serial” method
The “Serial” method, which is the setup by connecting to the RS232 serial communication port(COM port) on
the PC, connects with sWiFi/all with the corresponding serial port on utility.
Login with ID/PW: sWiFi/99999999. Please note that sWiFi is lowercase.
*If setup is required while using sWiFi/all as RS422 and RS485 ports, there is a method to use RS232 port on
the PC and to set them as “Network” access in the description below.

sWiFi/all User Manual

2) “Network” method
“Network” method is the second method, which connects sWiFi/all and WiFi on PC for settings.
Connects wirelessly to sWiFi/all and access using sWiFi/all’s IP 10.10.1.1 and port number 4000.
Login with ID/PW: sWiFi/99999999. Please note that sWiFi is lowercase.
ID and password can be changed in the “Information menu” on the below page.
[PLEASE NOTE] The IP address of sWiFi/all 10.10.1.1 and TCP Port No. 4000 cannot be changed.
If the PC uses WiFi and wired LAN at the same time, if the IP of wired LAN is set to 10.10.1.xxx network, IP
conflict may occur in the same band. So please stop using wired LAN and connect sWiFi/all to WiFi.
[TIP] When accessing using “Network” method, for initial connection from PC WiFi to sWiFi/all, please select
“sWiFi_XX:YY” and connect. There is no specific password at this time as it is open connection. XX:YY is the end
of MAC Address of sWiFi/all.
If Device Name and encryption settings are changed, please do WiFi connection on PC with changed information.
