Theory of Networking Operations
IP-Link 1223 can be configured in a number of network topologies to meet different application needs.
It allows the users to design a network that best matches their installation conditions and applications’
needs. To design a network, it is empirical to understand how each individual IP-Link 1223 should be
configured, and what each nodes individual capabilities as well as constrains are.
In this Chapter we discuss the theory of networking operation of IP-Link 1223's networking capabilities
to lay the groundwork for later chapters. After reading this Chapter, users should have the system
knowledge in assessing, configuring, deploying, and finally fine-tuning their IP-Link 1223 networks in
real installations.
5.1
Wireless Networking Topologies
In this section, we describe the key distinction between “connectivity” and “routing” topologies to
establish the basic framework of wireless network design. We then describe the working details,
benefits, and constraints and recommended use case scenarios for the several routing options the IPLink 1223 supports. This section provides a conceptual platform for readers before they use IP-Link
1223 to build wireless networks.
5.1.1 Connectivity Topology versus Routing Topology
While the generic phrase network topologies suggests wires or cables connecting a host with
communicating nodes, wireless communication modules like the IP-Link 1223 use a wireless
broadcast medium to communicate. The IP-Link 1223 is a low-power transceiver module optimized for
low-cost and low power consumption. So rather than transmitting at high power or having a huge
antenna to improve receiver sensitivity, a single IP-Link 1223 transmits at relatively low power and
utilizes message routing capability to cover a larger area if necessary in some applications. And
because of the broadcast nature of wireless transmission, it is important to realize the differences
between connectivity topology and messaging topology.
Connectivity topology refers to the interconnect patterns at the
Link level. In a wired network, topology refers to the physical
wiring patterns among the nodes. Bus segments or point-to-point
Links are some common connectivity topologies seen in Local
Area Networks (LAN) or Wide Area Networks (WAN). In contrast,
the connectivity pattern of a wireless network is usually
visualized as overlapping radio circles or spheres, as illustrated
here. The RF sphere implies both range and channelization,
which means that nodes with overlapping bubbles are directly
connected with one another.
So when considering a connectivity topology, the designer is
usually concerned with design parameters such as overall coverage area, nodal density, and the
transmission / reception characteristics of the transceiver modules. The characteristics could
accidentally change due to varying external conditions and variables such as trucks, walls, trees, and
other RF emitters.

On the other hand, a routing topology is a routing pattern over a multi-hop network. It describes an
imaginary wiring diagram, weaving together all network nodes, allowing any arbitrary point to initiate a
message (either unicast or multicast) to any fellow node in the network. A routing topology is
constrained by the underlying connectivity topology. But for some connectivity topology patterns in
which multiple routing options are available (like most wireless networks), selecting the optimal routing
topology for your network can be a challenge. Two
scenarios are presented here for demonstration.
Scenario 1: Linear Network
Let us examine a linear or “chain fence” scenario, in
which any radio can only reach two immediate neighbors in opposite direction. In this extreme case,
the choice of routing topology is constrained by the connectivity because there is only one
deterministic way of getting a message from point A to point B in the whole network. This topology is
common in pipeline monitoring applications and some traffic management and parking meter
applications.
Scenario 2: Fully Meshed Network
In this scenario, we increase the size of the RF sphere and make some changes to the relative
position. Now one can see that the new connectivity topology offers a wider array of routing options. In
this particular diagram, each node will have two or more paths to reach a particular destination. In this
case, the routing topology is no longer a simple choice.
As illustrated in this scenario, routing topology decision for a lowpower radio network involves the balance of many design objectives.
The wireless network itself is a dynamic system, interacting with its
environment incessantly. People movement, intermittent use of
electrical appliances, and outside interference sources are all
affecting the bubble size. Further complicating the decision process
is the design objective to conserve battery consumption for batteryoperated devices.
IP-Link 1223’s rich wireless routing algorithm is designed to simplify
the decision process and expedite the deployment of a reliable, inexpensive wireless infrastructure. Its
feature-rich and flexible networking capability aims to provide the network designers with sufficient
alternatives and performance margin to easily come to a “just-right” routing topology to adapt to or
even overcome the constraints imposed by underlying connectivity topologies.
5.1.2 Star Topology
As its name suggests, a star routing topology is actually a hub-and-spoke
system in which data traffic and network commands are routed through a
central node, the Master. In this routing topology, peripheral nodes
require direct radio contact with the Master, and interference or the failure
of a specific node can render the network less reliable, as each node
provides a single point of failure. Especially, the failure of the master
node will result in complete system crash. To construct a star network
using IP-Link 1223, only one IP-Link 1223 module needs to be configured
IP-Link 1223 User Manual
Helicomm, Inc.

Version 1.1.01
as a Master node. The remaining IP-Link 1223 modules can be programmed as an End node.
The most significant benefit of a star routing topology is its simplicity. The simplicity translates into very
low-overhead protocol implementation, much lower overall device cost, very low-overhead routing
information, and ease of administration. The central Master node can also assume many
administrative roles such as certificate authority for authentication, or remote management gateway.
However, the simplicity comes with a price of flexibility. Because of the requirement to put every single
end node within the reach of the Master node, the overall network coverage is limited. And star
topology networks cannot scale up easily to accommodate high-density deployment. The
concentrated message routing towards the Master node can easily create a hot spot and lead to
congestion, packet loss, and performance degradation, depending on the data traffic profile.
The star topology is by far the most common architecture deployed today, and it is well suited for a
variety of remote monitoring and control applications that do not need or cannot afford the cost and
complexity overhead of a more sophisticated network topology.
5.1.3 Peer-to-peer (Mesh) Topology
Peer-to-peer, also known as mesh networking, is a free-form topology designed to be highly adaptive
to the environment. Each node in an IP-Link 1223 mesh network is a little router capable of reassessing its routing decisions to provide the most robust, reliable network infrastructure possible.
After configured as a mesh node, each IP-Link 1223 is capable of monitoring surrounding RF
conditions, neighboring node activities, and end-to-end packet error rate statistics to adjust its local
routing decisions on the fly. Such adaptability is extremely valuable to network designs that are facing
uncertain or unpredictable Link conditions.
Mesh topology uses both the RF broadcast nature as well as a set of route inquiry and maintenance
commands to dynamically update the distributed routing information across the entire network. The
mesh protocol supported by IP-Link 1223 is similar to Ad hoc On-Demand Vector (AODV) routing, in
which the node originating a message is responsible for establishing a suitable route by querying its
immediate neighbors. The route queries process gradually ripples through the network until the
destination confirms connectivity and initiates a reply. Such reply now ripples backwards toward the
originator, accumulating vital routing statistics along its way. Finally, the originating node receives the
most up-to-date route information and makes a routing decision based on that information. The newly
computed routing information will age within a certain window and mandate new route computation
after it expires to ensure route decision is based on fresh information.
Mesh is ideal for highly unstructured network deployment. When the deployment premise is open and
potential interference sources or barriers are anticipated, mesh topology is a reliable way of ensuring
wireless connectivity. Especially when deployment density is medium or high, the added redundancy
by mesh topologies can add significant design margin and flexibility into the overall networks.
Given its more sophisticated capabilities, however, characterizing and validating a mesh network is
more difficult and complicated compared to star or cluster tree networks. Unlike star or cluster tree, a
mesh network dynamically adjusts the routing topologies and does not exhibit a fixed, predictable
routing pattern. This makes the messaging latency highly dependent on the instantaneous Link quality
and difficult to predict. More importantly, a qualitative comparison of mesh algorithms is always a
challenging task even for the most savvy network designer.

Network designers usually deploy mesh for applications that require a highly reliable, highly available
wireless infrastructure. Mesh networks should also be considered as a means to reduce initial network
setup cost and post-installation maintenance needs by leveraging the self-configuring capabilities
embedded inside IP-Link 1223 modules.
5.2
Topology Selection
IP-Link 1223’s rich wireless routing algorithm is designed to simplify the decision process and expedite
the deployment of a reliable, inexpensive wireless infrastructure. Its feature-rich and flexible
networking capability aims to provide the network designers with sufficient alternatives and
performance margin to easily come to a “just-right” routing topology to adapt to or even overcome the
constraints imposed by underlying connectivity topologies.
Deciding the routing topology of your applications can be very easy with IP-Link 1223. The decision
usually needs answers for the following series of questions:
1. Worst-case and average-case connectivity topologies: What type of installation density
do your applications call for (e.g., what is the longest and average distance between your
devices), and what is the surrounding environment’s conditions in terms of RF
interference, building structure and moving objects?
2. Evaluate routing alternatives: select from one of the topologies discussed in this chapter.
Based on the information from (1), select a core routing topology that meets your design
objectives.
3. Fine-tune routing alternatives by selectively upgrading potential weak spots and
balancing against power/resource design constraints.

Quick Steps in Establishing an IP-Link 1223 Network
（
In this chapter we provide some special notes on forming an IP-Link 1223 network The
）
establishment of Mesh network please re. 6.1 and 6.2 .
6.1
Special Note: Establishing a Full Mesh Network
A full ad hoc mesh network is appealing to many users because of its ease of configuration. In this
configuration, all nodes are viewed as equals, and each of them will be a “trustworthy” neighbor to any
other nodes within its radio contact. And many users prefer to deploy a full mesh network without
going through the sequential process of joining each and every device into the network. Rather than
assigning Network Layer address one at a time via Master Node, some users choose to pre-configure
address information. Pre-configure address assignment works particularly well for full mesh network,
since run-time path is established dynamically rather than relying on static parent-child relationship.
1. It is quite straight-forward to configure your IP-Link 1223 devices into a full-mesh-capable
device. You should prepare to setup every node with the following common configurations:
An identical RF Channel
An identical MAC Layer Network Identifier (from 0 to 65535)
Note: the particular configure information please re. 6.2
2. Now provision a unique MAC Node Identifier into each module. The unique Node Identifier
can be selected from the range of 0 to 65533. Note that Node 0 in a full mesh network does
not have any supremacy over other nodes any more. A full mesh network can operate even
without Node 0.
3. Turning on devices: For a full mesh network, devices can be turned on at any arbitrary order.
4. Validating connection: It is strongly recommended that you “walk” the entire network from any
node that has an external connection that accepts Helicomm's Binary Mode Command Set.
For example, you can hook up a Personal Computer to any node and start querying the entire
crew in the network. You can run such a “scan” continuously over an extended period to
develop some ideas on your deployment environment as well as the network's stability.

IP-Link 1223 Command Set
Helicomm IP-Link supports two categories of external command sets. One is the familiar AT command
set that is similar to those supported by Hayes-compatible modems. The second category of
commands consists of binary instructions that enable a host processor to use IP-Link 1223 as a
wireless network interface.
Application developers usually use AT command set to query and set attributes on a standalone
module. After the configuration completes, application software can then invoke a binary command set
to issue commands and exchange data packets across the wireless network.
On the bases of these two command setting categories, IP-Link1223 supports two modes when it
communicates to the outside applications: AT Mode and Binary Mode. When IP-Link 1223 powers
up, it defaults to the binary mode. User issues special escape sequence to switch into AT Mode, and
another special AT command to switch back into data mode.
This chapter is organized as follows:
7.1
•
Section 7.1 presents the AT command set and detailed definitions on IP-Link 1223’s S
Register definitions.
•
Section 7.2.1 introduces the structure of IP-Link 1223’s generic frame format and field
definitions.
•
Sections 7.2.2 through 7.2.6 give detailed descriptions of the four types of command frames
supported by IP-Link 1223.
•
Section 7.3 provides detailed information on every command request and its corresponding
responses.
AT Command Mode
IP-Link 1223 provides a host of AT commands to allow easy configuration of key attributes of an IPLink 1223 module. The following texts describe the AT commands, their parameters, and the
responses. You can use any terminal emulation utility or UART communication library on a particular
host platform to issue these AT commands to IP-Link 1223.

7.1.2 AT Command Error Codes
When AT commands execute successfully, IP-Link 1223 firmware returns a related marker (see the
AT Commands Table in Page 16) as a success indication. In the case of execution failure, IP-Link
1223 firmware returns one of the following three error codes to indicate the condition.

Binary Mode
In Binary Mode, host applications use binary-formatted command and responses to command the
local modules as well as communicate to remote nodes across the network. This highlights the key
utility of Binary Mode operations compared to AT Mode: to communicate and command remote
modules over the network formed by multiple IP-Link modules. That said, there are still shortcut
commands in Binary Mode to allow users to quickly perform local module access without forcing the
application to go through mode switches. In the simplest terms, Binary Mode and AT Mode have
overlapping functionalities and are designed to complement each other.
IP-Link 1223 supports four types of frames in its Binary Mode. Command Request, Command
Response, Data Request, and Acknowledgment.
To use IP-Link 1223’s Binary Mode, a Host Application starts with building Command Request
Frames to query, configure, and command a remote IP-Link 1223 for networking-related functions.
The remote IP-Link 1223 module will automatically return a Command Response Frame to notify the
execution result to the command-issuing module. The sending application then parses the Command
IP-Link 1223 User Manual
Helicomm, Inc.
Page 23
Version 1.1.01
Response Frame to take further actions. Some configuration records and sensor information natively
supported by IP-Link1223 can also be retrieved using Command Request and Command
Response. These commands are built-in to IP-Link 1223, and these Commands cannot be extended
or modified by the users.
On the other hand, host applications use Data Request and Acknowledgement Frames to
exchange user-specific data. IP-Link 1223’s transport the data frames in an end-to-end fashion
without interpreting or manipulating the payload in a Data Request Frame. The destination IP-Link
1223 will automatically generate an Acknowledgement Frame to report the reception status of the
Data Request Frame. After the network topology is established, Data Request Frame is the main
interface that application developers can use to exchange information among multiple IP-Link 1223
modules. These frames can also be used to carry user-defined network-wide commands, such that IPLink 1223 can be extended to support any custom commands users desire.
All these frames can be exchanged from one IP-Link 1223 module to a peer module within the same
network. The routing of these frames over any given topology is handled by IP-Link 1223’s embedded
firmware transparently.
7.2.1 Generic Frame Format
All four types of frames – Command Request, Command Response, Data Request, and
Acknowledgment – use the same generic frame structure: five (5) bytes of packet header descriptor, 0
to 97 bytes of frame payload, and one (1) byte of XOR checksum at the end of packet.
All IP-Link 1223 binary frames follow the following variable-length frame structure:

7.2.2 User Command Request Frame
In Command Request Frame, an additional byte is used to denote a Command Code identifier.
Helicomm provides a set of built-in command/responses to allow users to manage and retrieval
information regarding the networks as well as the sensor information provided by Helicomm’s
hardware solution. Each command code identifier will possess its own syntax for both request

When composing a Command Request Frame, user applications should supply the following
information:
•
A four-bit, user-defined packet sequence number: this number will be echoed back in
receiver’s Command Response Frame.
•
Destination node’s network address: Combined with the Packet Sequence Number, users
can use these two numbers to uniquely match an incoming Response to a pending
Command.

•
The command code: refer to the table in this section.
•

•
And the XOR checksum on all the bytes preceding the last
When sending a Command Request Frame, user applications should be ready to manage three
possibilities:
1. First, the request completes successfully with the expected Response. In this case, the
Command Response Frame will be available in the receiving buffer, and host applications can
read the serial port input buffer to gather the Response frame.
2. The second condition is that a remote node returns an error indication. In this case, the end-toend communication is working properly, but the command request is not accepted. Check
command syntax and values to correct such problems.
3. The third condition is potentially a communication failure or invalid local command. For
communication failure, users may experience continuing checksum error or timeout. In this
case, check your communication quality and environment (e.g., moving the destination node
closer to the transmitter, or switch to a simpler network topology.) For an invalid local
command, verify that you are using the correct network address to address the local module,
and the command is formatted correctly.

Command Response Frame is used to indicate back to the originator the execution results of a
Command Request Frame.
If the command executes correctly, first the Command Code field in the Response Frame will echo the
original command code. Further, a destination node will return any result in the RESPONSE field. If
there is no result to return to the sender a value of 0x00 will be placed in the RESPONSE field
If the command execution fails, the destination node will place a 0xFF into the Command Code field.
Further the very first byte in Response field will contain an error code for diagnosis purpose. The
following table is a summary of possible error codes.

Command Code
0x81
Description
This command is used to retrieve the sample from IP-Link 1223’s built-in analog-todigital converter. IP-Link 1223 has a two 10-bit ADCs at ADC#1 and ADC#0 are
available on IP-Link 1223’s Pin #15(P1.6) and Pin #16(P1.7), respectively, to connect to
user’s analog signal source.
When returned successfully, the first and second byte should be concatenated together
to get the 10-bit ADC sample.
S242=0 (1.68V input against core): The input signal voltage to ADC shall be in the range
of 0~3.36VDC. Upon the READ_ADC command, firmware will add up 16 continuous
samples, divide the sum by 16, and report the adjusted 10-bit sample.
S242=1 (external): The reference voltage will be taken from IP-Link 1223's PIN# 9. Upon
the READ_ADC command, firmware will add up 16 continuous samples, divide the sum
by 16, and report the average 10-bit sample. NOTE: user shall make sure that
hardware reference design matches the S242 configuration, or the ADC samples might
become unpredictable.
S242=2 (1.68V input against core): The input signal voltage to ADC shall be in the range
of 0~1.68VDC. Upon the READ_ADC command, firmware will add up 16 continuous
samples, divide the sum by 16, and report the adjusted 10-bit sample.

Tag mode application
This mode is mainly used for the position function. Give S230 a nonzero value this module can work
in tag mode. For example, when S230=10 the module will send a landing kit every 10*100ms=1S, the
landing kit contains the sampling values of tag node’s ADC0/1, this value have 16 bits, 2 bytes. The
ADC value of 1223 is 10 bits. The most significant 6 bits is reserved.
In addition, under the tag mode the module can set into sleep mode. Besides S230 give S233 a
nonzero value, and the module may work in sleep mode with low-loss when it is in free state. When it’s
the time to send packet it will be waken up to send packet, and will return sleep mode when it finishes
sending.

Some additive commands and settings of module
8.1
The parity check of serial ports
Users can set up the parity check function of serial ports by setting S103. When S103 is not 0, the
serial ports work in the parity check corresponding mode. If S103=1,they work in odd mode; If S103=2,
they work in even mode.
8.2
The flow control of serial ports
In order to improve the corresponding quality of the module, we add the flow control in serial ports.
Use two I/O to simulate the serial ports CTS, RTS, and the P3.4=RTS, P3.5=CTS. Uses the AT
register S106 to control weather turn on the flow control. When S106=0, no flow control; S106=1, is
the flow control with hardware.
8.3
Add loop back function in transparent mode
In order to make the user to test more convenient, we add loop back function in transparent mode.
Use S176 to control it, S176=0, turn off; S176=1, turn on. If turn on the function in transparent mode,
when the data send by origin node arrive target node, it will be packed again and then send back to
origin node. So the origin node will know weather it have errors in target node.
