WIZS2E Config Tool software configuration

WIZS2E Config Tool is an upper computer configuration software that runs on the Windows operating system and is compatible with WIZ-DTU, WIZ-IP32, W5500S2E and W7500S2E series serial to Ethernet modules. Users can easily search, view, and configure various functions and information of W5500S2E / W7500S2E serial to Ethernet module through WIZS2E Config Tool.

Note: Before configuring, it is recommended to turn off the firewall and ensure that all module IP addresses within the local area network do not conflict.

Basic Settings

As shown in the following figure, these are the basic parameter for W7500S2E series module, which is divided into two parts for explanation.

Figure: Basic Settings

Network Settings

  • IP Address Method- There are two option for user to choose.

    • Use the Follow IP Address - Static IP mode and the module uses the IP information showed on the WIZSE configuration tools (Default)
    • Get IP Address from DHCP Server - DHCP mode and the module IP address from the DHCP Server
  • IP Address- Module's IP Address. Default: 192.168.1.88

  • Subnet Mask - Module's Subnet Mask. Default: 255.255.255.0

  • Gateway - Module's Gateway IP address. Default: 192.168.1.1

  • DNS Server - DNS Server IP address. Default: 114.114.114.114

Note 1: The above IP information text box will be locked when user has selected DHCP mode.

Note 2: The above IP information text box will display the DHCP assigned information when user has selected DHCP mode.

Addtional Functions

  • Show Debug Message - Display module debugging information. Checking this option will print the module debugging information from the serial port. It is enabled by default.

  • Echo in AT Mode - Enable the AT command echo function. The echo function means that the W7500S2E module returns the input command exactly as it is to the serial port and then displays it on the serial port software interface. When users use the serial port software to configure the module, enabling the echo function helps users configure it conveniently. However, when using single-chip microcontrollers or other embedded devices to configure the module, enabling the echo function will cause problems. In this case, the echo function must be turned off. By default, this option is checked to enable the echo function.

  • Device Name - Set/Display the module name. It must consist of numbers, letters, or a combination of both, and cannot be empty. Case sensitivity is applied. The maximum length is 15 bytes. The default is the module name.

  • Use NETBIOS - Enable the NetBIOS function option. When checked, the NetBIOS function will be enabled. By default, it is not enabled. After enabling the NetBIOS function, users can directly access the built-in web page of W7500S2E series by entering "http:// module name" in the browser address bar.

  • Pasword - The current password for the module will not be displayed. User could change a new password directly without entering the previous password. The default password is "admin".

  • Entering Mode after power on or reset - The list box beneath password section. User could choose AT command or Data mode (Transparent transmission) after the module has turned on or reset. The default mode is AT command mode.

  • Embedded Web Server Port - Set/Display the port number of the Web server of W7500S2E series. The default is 80. It is not recommended to change it. The range of values is 0 to 65,535. If it is not set to 80, then it is required to add the web server port on the browser address bar. For example: 192.168.1.88:8000.


Channel1

As shown in the following figure, these are the TCP and Serial setups for W7500S2E series module, which is divided into four parts for explanation.

Figure: Channel1 Settings

COM Port Settings

  • Baud Rate - Displays/sets the serial port baud rate. The default is 115200. Users can select 16 common baud rate values ranging from 1200bps to 460800bps.

  • Data Bit: Displays/sets the data bits of the serial port. The default is 8. It can be set to 7 or 8.

  • Parity: Displays/sets the parity bit of the serial port. The default is NONE. It can be set to NONE, ODD, or EVEN.

  • Stop Bit: Displays/sets the stop bits of the serial port. The default is 1. It can be set to 1 or 2.

  • Flow Control: Serial port flow control function configuration. The default is NONE. It can be set to NONE or CTS/RTS.

Serial Data Packing Condition

  • by Nagle Waiting Time (ms) - This option feature package the serial port input data into Ethernet packets by time interval. The default value is 0 (no packetization) and the maximum value is 60000 ms.

  • by Data Length (byte) - This option feature package the serial port input data into Ethernet package by length. The default value is 0 (no packetization) and the maximum value is 2048 bytes.

Connection

  • Work As - It comes with a List box to choose the socket operation mode of the module. It includes TCP Server, TCP Client and UDP mode. The default socket operation mode is TCP Server.

  • Local Port - Displays/sets the local port number. The default is 5000 and the range is from 0 to 65535.

  • Bind Local Port - Binds the local port number. When checked, it enables the function of binding the local port number. This is effective when the module runs in TCP Client mode.

  • Remote Host - Displays/sets the IP address/domain name of the remote host. The text box will be unlocked when the module is operating in TCP Client and UDP modes. The default is 192.168.1.99 and the text box is locked. If this is set to the domain name of the remote host, the module will automatically perform domain name resolution. The maximum length of the domain name is 32 characters.

  • Remote Port - Displays/sets the port number of the remote host. The text box will be unlocked when the module is operating in TCP Client and UDP modes The default is 5000 and the text box is locked. The range is 0 to 65535.

Note: Some protocols in the Ethernet protocol have default port numbers. These port numbers should be avoided. The default occupied port numbers can be found in the appendix.

Communication

  • Clean Data Buffer when TCP Connected - Whether to clear the serial port Buffer after connection establishment. This option will only be activated when it is enabled (checked) and the module is working TCP modes. The default is disabled (unchecked).

  • Connect TCP Server when - In TCP client mode, the user could choose the pirority for TCP client to connect the Server. It can be set as "Power on" to establish the connection immediately after "power-on" or wait until "Serial data received" to establish the connection after receiving data from the serial port. The default is power-on and locked

  • Request Admin Password - This feature is activating connection verification password. It is effective when the device is operating in TCP Server mode. If the checkbox is checked, the client sends a connection request and establishes a connection in TCP Server mode, the client needs to send the device password to communicate with the module. Otherwise, the connection will be disconnected. The default is disable (unchecked) and locked.

  • Auto Message - Sends information after connection establishment. It is effective in TCP mode. You can choose "No message" to not send information (default), "Send Device Name" to send the device name, "Send MAC Address" to send the device MAC address, or "Send IP Address" to send the device IP address.

  • Inactivity Time (ms) - Sets/Displays the time interval for timeout disconnection. This option is effective when the device is in TCP mode. The range of values is from 0 to 60000 in ms. The default value is 0 (this function is disabled).

  • TCP Reconnection Time (ms) - Sets/Displays the reconnection time. This option is effective when the device is in TCP Client mode. It sets the waiting time for the TCP Client to reconnect to the TCP Server after the connection is disconnected. The default value is 0, it means immediate reconnection. The range of values is from 0 to 60000 in ms.

  • Keep Alive Time (5s) - TCP connection keep alive time. This option is effective when the device is in TCP mode. The range of values is from 0 to 65536 with units of 5s. The default value is 0 (this function is disabled).
