Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.

USER’S GUIDE
Chapter 1. Overview
This chapter describes the RN evaluation boards that are used for demonstrating the
capabilities of the RN131, RN171, and RN1723 modules. These RN evaluation boards
have the flexibility to connect directly to a PC or laptop through a standard USB
interface or to embedded controllers through the serial UART interface.
Note:
It is important to note that the RN131, RN171, and RN1723 Evaluation
Boards share approximately 95% of their features. Therefore, most of the
features described in this document will be common across all three platforms. Throughout this document, whenever a feature or description is
common across all evaluation kits, that feature will be described collectively
as “RN evaluation kit(s)”, “RN evaluation board(s)”, or “RN module(s)”,
rather than repeating RN131/RN171/RN1723 when referring to either an
evaluation kit, evaluation board, or module.
Refer to “Recommended Reading” for data sheet references and other resources.

Note:
On the RN131 Evaluation Board, the push button to reset the board is
labeled RESET, whereas on the RN1723 and RN171 Evaluation Boards,
this push button is labeled RST.
In addition to the push buttons, four status LEDs are provided to enable quick debug
support.
The analog sensor interface supported by all of the RN evaluation boards also provides

A Terminal Emulator application is used to send the configuration
commands to the RN module over a UART interface. The emulator also
displays information transmitted from the RN module.
• The RN evaluation boards use the FTDI Chipset. Windows automatically installs the
drivers for the USB serial cable. However, if the drivers are not automatically
installed, download and install the FTDI Chipset drivers from the Microchip web site as
described in 2.2 “Hardware Configuration”. Once the FTDI Chipset drivers are
installed, the COM port is automatically assigned based on the active connection
2.1.2
Hardware
To set up and run the demonstration applications, the following hardware is required:
• PC or laptop running one of these operating systems:
- Windows 7 or later
- Mac OS X or later
• RN evaluation board
• USB cable

2.2
HARDWARE CONFIGURATION
The following steps describe how to set up and configure the hardware:
1. Supply power to the evaluation board using a USB cable. Alternatively, power
can be supplied to the RN1723 Evaluation Board and RN171 Evaluation Board
by inserting two AAA batteries into the battery pack.
2. Connect the USB cable to a USB port on the host system and to the USB connector
on the RN evaluation board.
3. If the drivers are not automatically installed, download and install the FTDI Chipset
drivers from http://www.microchip.com/wifi. From the Wireless menu, click Firmware
and scroll to the Software section. Click FTDI Chipset Drivers to download the zip
archive.
4. Once the FTDI drivers are installed, the COM port is automatically assigned based
on the active connection.

2.3
MODULE CONFIGURATION
The RN modules of the evaluation boards operate in two modes:
• Data mode (default)
• Command mode
2.3.1
Data Mode
In Data mode, an RN module is essentially a data pipe. When the RN module receives data
over Wi-Fi, it strips the TCP/IP headers and trailers, and passes the user data to the UART.
When data is written to the UART, the RN module constructs the TCP/IP packet and sends
it out over Wi-Fi. Therefore, the entire process of sending/receiving data to the host is
transparent to the microcontroller of the end-application/user.
2.3.2
Command Mode
By default, the RN module is in Data mode. Sending an escape sequence of three
$$$ characters causes the RN module to enter Command mode. Once in Command
mode, the RN module can be configured using simple ASCII commands. To exit
Command mode and return to Data mode, type exit and press <Enter>.
Basic configuration requires the wireless network access point’s name (SSID) and the
authentication password. The RN module can associate with only one network at a
time. It is recommended to begin evaluation by configuring the RN module using an
open access point to simplify the setup.
The following two methods are used to configure the RN module:
• Over the UART connected to a PC/laptop or to a microcontroller
• Through Wi-Fi using Soft AP mode
A terminal emulator is required to enter the commands and to monitor the transactions.
Figure 2-1 shows an application interface for Data and Command modes.

RN131/RN171/RN1723 Evaluation Kits User’s Guide
2.3.3
Configuration Using a USB Cable
Evaluation boards use a USB cable to allow the host computer to communicate with the
on-board RN module.
The following instructions describe how to use a terminal emulator to enter Configuration
mode, send commands to find networks, associate with an access point, and save the
configuration.
2.3.3.1
CONFIGURE THE MODULE USING A TERMINAL EMULATOR
Either the TeraTerm (for Windows 7 or later) or CoolTerm (for Mac OS X or later)
terminal emulator applications can be used. Also, legacy evaluation boards use a
USB-to-serial cable for connecting the evaluation board to the PC/laptop. When using
any of the evaluation boards, use the COM port to which the USB-to-serial cable is
connected.
Use the following steps to communicate with an RN module using a terminal emulator:
1. Determine the COM port that is assigned to the USB cable (the port is COM9 in
the example shown in Figure 2-2).
2. Open the available terminal emulation application and specify the COM port.
3. When using TeraTerm, open the Serial option and select the COM port number
from the drop-down menu.
4. The serial port with the required settings are as follows:
• Baud: 9600
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: None
5. Type the commands through the terminal emulator application and to the
assigned program.
Note:
The COM port number can be found as follows:
• For Windows: Go to the Windows Device Manager from System Tools. In the
Device Manager, browse and expand the selection for serial ports (COM &
LPT). Use TeraTerm for other configuration settings and monitoring.
• For Mac: When using CoolTerm, view and select the port from the same
terminal emulator application.

2.3.3.2
ENTER COMMAND MODE
The following steps provide an example for entering Command mode through a
terminal emulator on the RN171 Evaluation Board. The output will differ depending on
which evaluation board is being accessed:
1. Type three $$$ characters with no additional characters before or after each
$ character. The RN module replies with CMD on the terminal emulator to indicate
it is in Command mode.
2. Type show net and press <Enter> to display the current network settings
(Figure 2-3 shows the current network settings of the WiFly application).
Note:
When a command is completed, the terminal displays a prompt in the
format <x.xx>, where ‘x.xx’ indicates the RN module’s firmware version.
FIGURE 2-3:
CURRENT NETWORK SETTINGS
A command to the RN module is first sent with a keyword followed by an optional
parameter. For example:
set uart baudrate 115200
The RN modules supports a variety of command keywords. The complete command
reference is available in the “WiFly Command Reference, Advanced Features and
Applications User’s Guide Reference” (DS50002230), which is available from the
Microchip web site at: http://www.microchip.com.

Chapter 3. Application Design Concerns
This section provides the design concerns related to powering an evaluation board,
sensor interface settings, AP mode, and restoring factory settings.
The following topics are discussed:
• Sensor Interfaces
• Push Button Functions
3.1
SENSOR INTERFACES
The input voltage on the sensor inputs must not exceed 1.2V; otherwise, hardware
damage could occur. The Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) saturates at 400 mV. It is
recommended to use the sensor power output to drive any analog devices that are
attached to the sensor pins.
Note:
3.2
Sensor pins 2 and 3 have a resistor network in front of sensors 4 and 5,
respectively. Therefore, these pins can be driven with up to 3.3V DC.
PUSH BUTTON FUNCTIONS
3.2.1
FN Push Button
The FN push button can be used to place the RN module into one of three modes: AP,
Factory reset, and WPS.
3.2.1.1
AP MODE
AP mode allows all Wi-Fi-enabled devices to be associated with the RN module.
To put the RN module into AP mode, FN must be high when the RN module powers up
or wakes from a sleep state. This is done by pressing the FN push button, and then
pressing and releasing the RESET/RST push button, which resets the RN module and
places it into AP mode. Now that the RN module is in AP mode, a default Wi-Fi network
is created with the parameters listed in Table 3-1.
Note:
Using this method to place the RN module into AP mode will override any
previous AP mode software settings.

Where ‘xxx’ is GSX for RN131, EZX for RN171, and FZX for RN1723 and
‘yy’ is the LSB of the module’s MAC address.

DS50002183B-page 27
RN131/RN171/RN1723 Evaluation Kits User’s Guide
3.2.1.2
FACTORY RESET
In Factory Reset mode, an RN module is restored to the factory default condition.
As shown in Figure 1-1, Figure 1-2, and Figure 1-3 in 1.5 “RN Evaluation Board
Components”, the FN push button is used in conjunction with the RESET/RST
push button to perform a factory reset.
3.2.1.3
WPS
The Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) mode allows the RN module to be associated to the
appropriate access point. WPS mode is entered by pressing and releasing the FN push
button while the launch_string configuration parameter is set to wps_app. By default,
the launch_string is set to web_app.
Refer to the “WiFly Command Reference, Advanced Features and Applications User’s
Guide” (DS50002230) for information. This document is available from the Microchip
web site at: http://www.microchip.com/wifi.
3.2.2
RESET/RST Push Button
When the RESET/RST push button is pressed, the RN module will briefly power down
and restart.
