5 Wi-Fi use cases

The following Wi-Fi use case, shows some functionality to get started with Wi-Fi Station and Access Point.
The following examples use the MAC address below, this must be replaced by the real MAC address of the devices that are used.
  • Station MAC address: AAAAAAAAAAAA
  • Access Point MAC address: BBBBBBBBBBB

5.1 Wi-Fi station WPA2 and WPA3

wi-fi-ap
wi-fi-station
Connect as a Wi-Fi station to an Access Point to get access to network.
This use case connects NORA-W36 as a Wi-Fi station to an Access Point for access to the network. The connection is set to DHCP client by default.
To use static IP the AT+UWSIPS set the IP address, gateway, subnet mask and DNS.

It is also possible to connect MQTT.
9
Disconnect Wi-Fi station
AT+UWSDC
Note: If NORA-W36 should connect to Wi-Fi at startup the Connect, Store and Reset should be send, AT+UWSC=0, AT&W and AT+CPWROFF, the current Wi-Fi Station state is be stored in flash and NORA-W36 will try to connect using Service Set Identifier (SSID) and password stored at startup.

5.2 Wi-Fi PEAP enterprise security

wi-fi-ap
Connect as a Wi-Fi station to an Access Point using PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol) and a RADIUS server to get access to network.
This use case connects NORA-W36 as a Wi-Fi station to an Access Point for access to the network. The connection is set to DHCP client by default.

Disconnect Wi-Fi station
AT+UWSDC
Note: If NORA-W36 should connect to Wi-Fi at startup the Connect, Store and Reset should be send, AT+UWSC=0, AT&W and AT+CPWROFF, the current Wi-Fi Station state is be stored in flash and NORA-W36 will try to connect using Service Set Identifier (SSID) and password stored at startup.

5.3 Wi-Fi EAP-TLS enterprise security

wi-fi-ap
Connect as a Wi-Fi station to an Access Point using Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and EAP Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS) to get access to network.
This use case connects NORA-W36 as a Wi-Fi station to an Access Point for access to the network. The connection is set to DHCP client by default.
To use static IP the AT+UWSIPS set the IP address, gateway, subnet mask and DNS.
Nr
Instructions
AT command
AT event
1
Write a X.509 certificate and private key using Binary data
AT+USECUB=0,"ca.pem"{sendbinarycontentof"ca.pem"}
AT+USECUB=1,"client.pem"{sendbinarycontentof"client.pem"}
AT+USECUB=2,"client.key"{sendbinarycontentof"client.key"}
See Binary data for more information, note that the brackets { and } should NOT be sent, they are just here in this example
1
Set SSID for the Network
AT+UWSCP=0,"NORA-W36AccessPoint"
2
Set the certificates and key
AT+UWSSE=0,"ca.pem","client.pem","client.key"

+UEWLU:0,BBBBBBBBBBB,6
5
Wait for Network interface
+UEWSNU
6
Check IP address (optional)
AT+UWSNST=0
+UWSNST:0,192.168.1.100
7
Check RSSI (optional)
AT+UWSST=4
+UWSST:4,-66
8
It is now possible to connect TCP and UDP, and then send and receive data in String or Binary mode.
It is also possible to connect MQTT.
9
Disconnect Wi-Fi station
AT+UWSDC
Note: If NORA-W36 should connect to Wi-Fi at startup the Connect, Store and Reset should be send, AT+UWSC=0, AT&W and AT+CPWROFF, the current Wi-Fi Station state is be stored in flash and NORA-W36 will try to connect using Service Set Identifier (SSID) and password stored at startup.

5.4 Wi-Fi access point WPA2

wi-fi-ap
This use case configures NORA-W36 to act as a Wi-Fi Access Point that allows Wi-Fi Stations to connect, send, and receive data to the module.
The Wi-Fi connection has WPA2 encryption and a DHCP server that automatically assigns IP addresses to devices when they connect to the network.
The server assigns connected devices with IP addresses from 192.168.1.100 + x, where ‘x’ represents the additional IP addresses that can be assigned to other devices connected to the network.

Instructions
AT command
AT event
1
Set the SSID and select nework channel to 6 to define the frequency band
AT+UWAPCP="NORA-W36AccessPoint",6
2
Set the Password, using WPA2
AT+UWAPSW="mypassword"
3
Activate the Wi-Fi Access point. DHCP Server is enabled by default
AT+UWAPA
4
Wait for Access Point
+UEWAPU
5
Wait for Network interface
+UEWAPNU
6
Check the IP address of the AP (optional)
AT+UWAPNST=0
+UWAPNST:0,192.168.1.80
7
Station connected
+UEWAPSA:AAAAAAAAAAAA
8
It is now possible to connect over TCP and UDP, and then send and receive data in String or Binary mode.
It is also possible to connect MQTT.
9
Station disconnect
+UEWAPSDA:AAAAAAAAAAAA
10
Deactivate Wi-Fi Access Point
AT+UWAPD
wi-fi-ap
Note: If NORA-W36 activates Wi-Fi Access Point at startup, Activate (AT+UWAPA), Store (AT&W) and Reset (AT+UWAPA) commands should be sent. The current Wi-Fi Access Point state is stored in flash and NORA-W36 then activates the Access Point using the stored SSID and password at startup. IP address range is 192.168.1.100 + x to connected stations.
