8.0 Serial Device Server Connection
If you have purchased the WLNN-EK-DP501 or WLNN-EK-DP502 kit please use the
following instructions for connecting to and evaluating the Airborne Serial Device Server.
The following describes initial connection to an Airborne Device Server module loaded
with UART (W LNN-AN-DP501) firmware; if you have a module loaded with Ethernet
(WLNN-ER-DP501) firmware, please skip to section 9.0.
8.1 Connect a Host Computer
Use the supplied serial cable or USB adapter (see USB-to-Serial Adapter Us er’s
Manual for USB adapter installation) to connect the DB9 serial port (CN1)
connector on the Airborne EVB to the Host computer. On the Host computer,
start a terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal. Configure the
program for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and no flow control. For COM Port,
select the COM port that corresponds to the host
’s physical serial port connected
to the EVB (or in the case of the USB adapter, the virtual COM port created by
the adapter software).
If supplying your own cable when connecting to the Evaluation Kit please confirm it
supports the default configuration (female DE-9, DCE) for connection to the
Evaluation kit.
If you are unable to connect to the kit please refer to sections 5.4, 5.15 and 5.16 for
details on the Evaluation kit CN1 requirements.
8.2 Interacting with the A irborne™ Module
On the Host computer, use the terminal emulation program to interact with the
module by issuing Command Line Interface (CLI) commands. CLI commands let
you request status or change parameter settings. Press the Enter key ()
after each command line you type. After the module starts, type the following CLI
command to log in (you must log in before CLI commands can be recognized):
TABLE 42 - UART AUTHENTICATION
CLI Command Description
auth dpac dpac The module responds with OK, indicating that it
executed the command successfully. (If you did not
receive OK, check the settings in your terminal
emulation program.

You will have to log into the module after any reset or restart.
