4.3 Serial Port Connection (RS232/RS485)

• GBU232: Connect your RS232 device to the DB9 male connector. Refer to the pinout diagram (Figure 4) for correct wiring.
• GBU485: Connect your RS485 device to the A and B terminals on the screw terminal block. Ensure proper A/B polarity for communication.

4.4 Network Connection (Ethernet/WiFi)

• Àjọlò: Connect an Ethernet cable from your network switch or router to the RJ45 Ethernet port.
• WiFi: Screw the provided WiFi antenna onto the SMA connector. The device can operate in various WiFi modes (AP, STA, AP+STA) which are configured via the web interface or serial commands.

5. Operating Modes and Configuration

The Waveshare Serial Server supports a variety of operating modes to suit different application needs. Configuration is primarily done via a web interface or AT commands through the serial port.

5.1 Ni ibẹrẹ Wiwọle ati iṣeto ni

Lati wọle si ẹrọ naa web ni wiwo fun iṣeto ni:

1. Ensure the device is powered on and connected to your network (via Ethernet or WiFi).
2. The default IP address for the WiFi interface is typically 10.10.100.254. Ensure your computer is on the same subnet for initial access.
3. Ṣii a web browser and enter the device's IP address (e.g., http://10.10.100.254).
4. Log in using the default credentials (refer to the full manual or product documentation for default username/password, if any).
5. Lati awọn web interface, you can configure network settings (IP address, subnet, gateway), serial port parameters (baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits), and select the desired operating mode.

Note: Some advanced configurations or troubleshooting may require using specific software tools (e.g., SSCOM) or AT commands via a serial terminal. Refer to the manufacturer's detailed documentation for comprehensive AT command sets.

5.2 Supported Operating Modes

The device supports various modes for data transmission and network integration:

• Ipo Gbigbe Sihin: Allows direct, transparent data transfer between serial and network interfaces (TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP Server, UDP Client).
• Modbus Gateway: Converts Modbus RTU/ASCII to Modbus TCP, enabling Modbus devices to communicate over Ethernet/WiFi.
• MQTT Gateway: Facilitates communication with MQTT brokers, allowing serial data to be published to or subscribed from MQTT topics.
• Serial Port to HTTPD Client: Enables the device to send serial data to an HTTP server via HTTP POST/GET requests.
• Awọn ọna WiFi:
  • Ipo AP: The device acts as an Access Point, allowing other WiFi devices to connect to it.
  • Ipo STA: The device connects to an existing WiFi network as a client.
  • AP+STA Mode: The device operates as both an Access Point and a client simultaneously.
• Wired + Wireless Networking Applications: Supports APLAN, APWAN, Router, and Bridge modes for complex network setups.
