2. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
2.1. Wireless Networking
HF-LPB module can be configured as both wireless STA and AP base on network type. Logically
there are two interfaces in HF-LPB. One is for STA, and another is for AP. When HF-LPB works as AP,
other STA equipments are able to connect to wireless LAN via HF-LPB module. Wireless Networking
with HF-LPB is very flexible.
Notes:
AP: that is the wireless Access Point, the founder of a wireless network and the centre of the network
nodes. The wireless router we use at home or in office may be an AP.
STA: short for Station, each terminal connects to a wireless network (such as laptops, PDA and other
networking devices) can be called with a STA device.
2.1.1. Basic Wireless Network Based On AP (Infrastructure)
Infrastructure: it’s also called basic network. It built by AP and many STAs which join in.
The characters of network of this type are that AP is the centre, and all communication between STAs
is transmitted through the AP. The figure following shows such type of networking.
Figure 9. HF-LPB Basic Wireless Network Structure
2.1.2. Wireless Network Based On AP+STA
HF-LPB module support AP+STA network mode, means module support one AP interface and one
STA interface at the same time, as following figure,
HF-LPB Low Power WiFi Module User Manual

Figure 10. HF-A11 AP+STA Network Structure
When module enables AP+STA function, Module’s STA interface can connect with router and connect
to TCP server in the network. At the same time, module’s AP interface is also active and permit
phone/PAD to connect through TCPB, then phone/PAD can control user device and and setting the
module parameters,
The advantage of AP+STA mode is:
¾ Users can easily setting and track user device through Phone/PAD and not change the
orginal network setting.
¾ Users can easily setting module’s parameters through WiFi when module works as STA
mode.
2.1.3. Wi-Fi Direct Network
Wi-Fi Direct standard permits the wireless connection without AP router. Like blue tooth, this standard
use point to point interconnection and all devices connect each other and transmit data withour router.
HF-LPB module support following Wi-Fi Direct networking:
¾ 1:1 P2P Networking;
¾ 1:N P2P Networking;
¾ Concurrent Operation Networking;

2.2. Work Mode : Transparent Transmission Mode
HF-LPB module support serial interface transparent transmission mode. The benefit of this mode is
achieves a plug and play serial data port, and reduces user complexity furthest. In this mode, user
should only configure the necessary parameters. After power on, module can automatically connect to
the default wireless network and server.
As in this mode, the module's serial port always work in the transparent transmission mode, so users
only need to think of it as a virtual serial cable, and send and receive data as using a simple serial. In
other words, the serial cable of users’ original serial devices is directly replaced with the module; user
devices can be easy for wireless data transmission without any changes.
The transparent transmission mode can fully compatible with user’s original software platform and
reduce the software development effort for integrate wireless data transmission.
The parameters which need to configure include:

2.3. UART Frame Scheme
2.3.1. UART Free-Frame
HF-LPB support UART free-frame function. If user select open this function, module will check the
intervals between any two bytes when reciving UART data. If this interval time exceeds defined value
(50ms default), HF-LPB will think it as the end of one frame and transfer this free-frame to WiFi port,
or HF-LPB will receive UART data untill 1400 bytes, then transfer 1400 bytes frame to WiFi port.
HF-LPB’s default interval time is 50ms. User can also set this interval to fast (10ms) through AT
command. But user have to consider if user MCU can send UART data with 10ms interval ,or the
UART data may be divide as fragment.
Through AT command: AT+UARTTE=fash/normal, user can set the interval time: fast (10ms) and
normal (50ms).
2.3.2. UART Auto-Frame
HF-LPB support UART auto-frame function. If user select open this function and setting auto-frame
trigger length and auto-frame trigger time parameters, then module will auto framing the data which
received from UART port and transmitting to the network as pre-defined data structure.
¾ Auto-frame trigger length: The fixed data length that module used to transmitting to the
network.
¾ Auto-frame trigger time: After the trigger time, if UART port received data can’t reach auto-
frame trigger length, then module will transmitting available data to the network and bypass
the auto-frame trigger length condition.
Detailed UART auto-frame function can refer to AT+ instruction set “UARTF/UARTFT/UARTFL”
introduction.

2.6. Multi-TCP Link Connection
When HF-LPB module configured as TCP Server, it supports Multi-TCP link connection, and
maximum eight TCP clients permit to connect to HF-LPB module. User can realize multi-TCP link
connection at each work mode.
Multi-TCP link connection will work as following structure:
Upstream:
All dates from different TCP connection or client will be transmitted to the serial port as a sequence.
Downstream:
All data from serial port (user) will be duplicate and broadcast to every TCP connection or client.
Detailed multi-TCP link data transmition structure as following figure:
Figure 14. Multi-TCP Link Data Transmition Structure
2.7. Power Save Scheme
HF-LPB module can work at three modes based on different power save scheme:
Normal (Active/Sleep) Mode - AP Associated, WiFi ON/OFF based on internal control
Deep Sleep Mode - Non AP Associated, WiFi OFF
Standby Mode - Non AP Associated, WiFi Shut dwon
Normal (Active/Sleep) Mode Normal mode support two work option: One is no DTIM related (Default
mode), module will monitor the interval to Active/Sleep. The other is DTIM related mode, whcih allows
the module to sync up with beacons sent from the AP which contains the DTIM (Delivery Traffic
Indication Message). The DTIM indicates when broadcast and multicast data will be sent on the
network. This property is configured on the AP (Default value is 1, which means DTIM= 100ms) and is
typically configured as the number of beacons between each beacon with DTIM.
Deep Sleep/Standby Mode allows the WiFi circuitry to be “OFF” status or powered down, which
results in the lower/lowest sleep current, but at the expense of longer wake up times. This is due to
HF-LPB Low Power WiFi Module User Manual
Shanghai High-Flying Electronics Technology Co., Ltd
www.hi-flying.com
- 24 -
the module associating with the access point every time when it wakes up. The intent of this option is
to allow for longer sleep times.
The Difference between deelp sleep and standby mode as follows:
Table 6 Difference Between Deelp Sleep And Standby Mode
Status Wake Up Method
Wi-Fi MCU Current UART GPIO Timeout AT Commond
Deep Sleep OFF ON ~2mA ON Yes Yes Yes
Standby OFF OFF <2uA OFF Yes Yes No
Notes: For GPIO wake up, if trigger time <1s, then only wake up MCU.
Following typical measurement parameters can be used for select suitable power save scheme based
on the real application case:
Table 7 Power Consumption with Different Power Save Mode
WiFi Mode Condition Average Current Peak Current
Standby WiFi Shutdown ~2uA < 10uA
Deep Sleep WiFi OFF ~2mA < 10mA

In addition, for deep sleep/standby mode, module provides three wakes up options, user can select
one or whole as the module wake up option. Refer to AT Instruction (Power Management Instruction
Set) for more detailed setting.
Pin Wake Up
UART Wake Up
Timeout Wake Up
Pin Wake Up Option allows an external microcontroller to determine when HF-LPB should sleep and
when it should wake by controlling the “Sleep_RQ” and “Sleep_ON” pin. at the deep sleep/standby
mode, user can de-assert this pin low “0”, after 1’s assert to high ”1” to put the module to wake up the
module. If user doesn't use pin sleep function, can leave this pin open.
UART Wake Up Option. HF-LPB can use AT command to put module into normal/sleep mode. When
module works at deep sleep or standby mode, user can use ”AT+MSLP =normal” to wake up module.
Timeout Wake Up Option allows the sleep timeout period to be configured through the use of AT
Instruction.In this option, the module will exit sleep based on the <Timeout> AT Instruction parameters

6. The host end product must include a user manual that clearly defines operating requirements and
conditions that must be observed to ensure compliance with current FCC RF exposure guidelines.
For portable devices, in addition to the conditions 3 through 6 described above, a separate approval
is required to satisfy the SAR requirements of FCC Part 2.1093
If the device is used for other equipment that separate approval is required for all other operating
configurations, including portable configurations with respect to 2.1093 and different antenna
configurations.
For this device, OEM integrators must be provided with labeling instructions of finished products.
Please refer to KDB784748 D01 v07, section 8. Page 6/7 last two paragraphs:
A certified modular has the option to use a permanently affixed label, or an electronic label. For a
permanently affixed label, the module must be labelled with an FCC ID - Section 2.926 (see 2.2
Certification (labelling requirements) above). The OEM manual must provide clear instructions
explaining to the OEM the labelling requirements, options and OEM user manual instructions that
are required (see next paragraph).
For a host using a certified modular with a standard fixed label, if (1) the module’s FCC ID is not
visible when installed in the host, or (2) if the host is marketed so that end users do not have
straightforward commonly used methods for access to remove the module so that the FCC ID of the

The user manual or instruction manual for an intentional or unintentional radiator shall caution the
user that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. In cases where the manual is provided
only in a form other than paper, such as on a computer disk or over the Internet, the information
required by this section may be included in the manual in that alternative form, provided the user
can reasonably be expected to have the capability to access information in that form.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s
