Configuring the HyperTerminal (PuTTY)

General Notes

The HyperTerminal is the interface through which commands are

sent to the CC3000 basic Wi-Fi example application.

1. Use Device Manager or Computer Management to identify

MSP430 Application UART COM port for configuring the

HyperTerminal.

2. Double-click the MSP430 Application UART to configure the

Baud Rate

Configure the baud rate as follows (see also the figure to the

right):

Bits per second: 9600 Data bits: 8 Stop bits: 1 Parity: None Flow control: None

3. PuTTY settings: With Session selected in the Category column

in the left side of window. (see figure to right)

Select Serial for Connection Type Set the Serial line value to the COM port for the

MSP430 Application UART (from previous step)

Set Speed to 9600

4. With Terminal selected in the Category column in the left side of

window. (see figure to right)

Select Force on for Local echo

5. With Serial selected in the Category column in the left side of

window. (see figure to right)

Serial Line to connect to: Verify this matches from step 1 Speed(baud): 9600 Data bits: 8 Stop bits: 1 Parity: None Flow control: None

6. Select Open to start the HyperTerminal. If all settings are

correct, the terminal will open.

To get the driver version to display once the terminal is open press the Reset button (S1) on the Launchpad [you

will need to scroll up in the terminal to see the driver

information]

Note: Occasionally PuTTY needs to be restarted and the Reset

button pressed again to view driver information.

Running the Application

Configuring the Basic Wi-Fi Example Application

The example application demonstrates basic WLAN connectivity

together with the capability of sending data over the WLAN

transport with the help of the standard BSD socket interface.

General Description

Each HyperTerminal command-line interface (CLI) command used

in the basic Wi-Fi example application consists of a minimum of 2

bytes opcode. To execute a command, type the command and

press Enter. When command execution completes, DONE

appears in the HyperTerminal window. (See figure top right)

Note: The first operation performed is a first-time configuration

Supported Commands

Before moving to socket-based operations, additional AP and

static IP connections must be configured.

Each command must be typed as an ASCII string in the

HyperTerminal (see figure to right).

SmartConfig Tool for Android

SmartConfig Tool for a PC

1. Connect your PCs wireless connection to the desired Access Point.

2. Open the CC3000 SmartConfig Java Applet by clicking Start All Programs CC3000 Smart Config Java applet Smart Config.

Note: Before opening the Java Applet make sure that ONLY ONE wireless

connection exists on your PC. Disable all other wireless connections(i.e. 3G,

Wireless Network Connection 2, or Bluetooth) otherwise the applet wont know which access point to pull information for.

If you are properly connected to the desired AP the applet should populate the fields automatically and then click

Start.

Note: You may need to adjust your wireless connection MTU size to 1500. For

Windows Users: Run Command Prompt as an Administrator and type the

following command:

netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface Wireless Network Connection

mtu=1500 store=persistent

Make sure to restart the SmartConfig Java Applet after changing the MTU size.


Running SmartConfig on CC3000

1. In your Terminal type 01 to start Smart Config on the Launchpad.

When the device finds an AP, the HyperTerminal displays Smart config DONE and then Done

The example application now reboots the CC3000 device. After the reboot, the CC3000 device tries to

connect to the AP detected. Following the reboot and

as soon as the CC3000 device connects to the AP,

the CC3000 IP address will be displayed.

2. To test connectivity between the CC3000 device and the PC,

execute the ping command using the CC3000s IP address from the command prompt window.


0

Congratulations! You have successfully connected the CC3000 to

your desired wireless access point.

Detailed Description of Commands

Static IP Configuration

The example application supports the configuration of the CC3000 device with a static IP.

To configure the device IP, execute the command 08XXYYZZUUAABBCCDD where:

XXYYZZUU is an IP address assigned to the CC3000 device in hexadecimal form. For example, if the required address is 192.168.39.10, the hexadecimal value is c0a8270a. Lower case only is supported.

AABBCCDD is an IP address of the default gateway in hexadecimal form as well (which can be an IP address of the AP). The example application assumes that the network mask is 255.255.255.0.

To test connectivity, execute the ping command.

In order to configure DHCP, execute the command with zero value for all fields.

Open UDP Socket

To open a UDP socket, execute the Socket Open command (03).

Note: There is a inactivity default timeout on the UDP socket of 60 seconds. This is refreshed with a sent or received packet.

Send Data

Please Note: MSP-EXP430G2-Lauchpad supports MAX UDP payload = 8 bytes

To transmit a data packet:

1. Execute the Socket Open command (03) as described in the section "Open Socket".

2. Execute the sendto command (04AAXY02BCDEFGHIKLMN) where:

AA is the hexadecimal presentation of the length of data. For example, to send 5 bytes, type 05. The field following AA is data. For example, to send the string 12345, type 12345. BCDE is the hexadecimal presentation of the destination port. FGHIKLMN is the hexadecimal presentation of the destination IP address.

Detailed Description of Commands (Continued)

Receive Data

Please Note: MSP-EXP430G2-Lauchpad supports MAX UDP payload = 8 bytes

1. Execute the Socket Open command (03) as described in Section 6.4, Open Socket.

2. Execute the bind command (06XXYY) where XXYY is the port in hexadecimal form. For example, if a port is 51000, the value

typed is c738.

3. Execute the Receive Data command (05). The HyperTerminal displays the received data.

Close Socket

To close a UDP socket, execute the Socket Close command (07).

Connect to AP

Note: The Connect-to-AP command is for advanced users. To connect to the AP manually (that is, not during the simple configuration

process), execute the command 02XA...D where:

X is the SSID name length in hexadecimal presentation. A...D is the SSID name length.

Disconnect from AP

To disconnect the CC3000 device from the AP, execute the CC3000 Disconnect command (09).

Note: By default, the CC3000 device tries to reconnect to the AP automatically as programmed by the Simple Configuration process

within the Example Application. To disconnect without reconnecting, the user must remove the policy as described in the section

''Delete Policy''.

Detailed Description of Commands (Continued)

Delete Policy

Note: The Delete Policy command (0a) is for advanced users.

To delete the policy of automatic connection to the AP (as programmed by the Simple Configuration process), execute the CC3000

Delete Policy command (0a). After the following reset, automatic reconnection to the AP is not attempted.

Send mDNS Advertizement

Note: The Send mDNS Advertizement command (0b) is for advanced users. This command sending mDNS Query packet with the

data predefined in Basic WiFi application.
