Prerequisite Concepts

AP (Access Point) mode: A wireless access point is the creator and center of a network. It provides wireless network service and allows users to connect to the network wirelessly.

STA (Station) mode: A wireless client is a network user that connects to the network wirelessly.

Channel: Put simply, a channel is a path for signals. Channel switching means switching between channels so that devices can find the best signal path for communication.

One-to-One Configuration Quick Start Guide for Beginners

Tip

Before studying this chapter, make sure you have read the “Unboxing Guide” chapter and completed the basic LQ-10 assembly.

One-to-one configuration connects one device (the primary device, usually an AP) to another device (the secondary device, usually a STA), enabling communication between them. It is similar to a telephone call: the primary device initiates the call, while the STA receives it.

One-to-one configuration is simple and convenient, making it suitable for communication between small, low-power, and low-cost devices. One-to-one communication is also one of the most commonly used communication methods for drones.

Caution

This chapter covers only the basic one-to-one network configuration method and a quick implementation. To learn more about advanced configuration methods such as serial passthrough and SBUS, refer to the “Configuration Guide” chapter.

  1. First prepare two LQ-10 devices and designate them as the LQ-10 primary device (AP unit) and LQ-10 secondary device (STA unit).

  2. Connect the LQ-10 AP unit to a 9–15V power supply. Do not exceed the voltage range, as doing so will damage the device.

  3. Connect the Ethernet cable from the LQ-10 AP unit to the supplied Ethernet adapter, and connect the Ethernet cable to the computer's LAN port. Before proceeding, make sure you know how to configure a static IP address in Windows. Refer to the following link: https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/607778502.

  4. Set the computer's IP address to 192.168.1.123, the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, and the gateway to 192.168.1.1.

  1. Open a browser on the computer, enter the default address 192.168.1.201, and press Enter to open the LQ management page. If the interface below appears, the connection is successful. If the web page cannot be opened, go to Firmware Upgrade and Recovery, restore the factory settings using the physical method, and try opening the page again. After successfully opening the web page, enter the administrator account: admin and password: admin to access the web management system.

  1. Connect the LQ-10 STA unit to the computer using the same method. Open the web management page, and click “Network Settings” in the navigation bar on the left to open the network settings page.

  2. Select STA mode, set the items in the red box below to match the figure, and click “Save and Restart Device.”

  1. Wait for the two devices to connect successfully. Communication can then begin.

How to Determine Whether the One-to-One Devices Are Connected Successfully

  1. Physical indication:

The LQ-10 enclosure has an RSSI indicator. When the RSSI indicator remains steadily illuminated, the device is connected successfully. When the indicator changes to flashing red, the device has no connection.

  1. Web interface:
  • Open the device IP address in a browser on the PC (IP: 192.168.1.2). Click “Device Status” in the navigation bar on the left to open the network settings page, and check whether the peer device's IP address and online information appear under “IP Address.”

  • You can open the other device's management page directly in the web interface (that is, 192.168.1.3).

  1. Ping command:

Use the ping command on the computer to test the other device. If the ping succeeds, the two devices are connected. If you are unfamiliar with using the ping command in Windows, refer to the following link: https://zhidao.baidu.com/question/2151799451139903588.html
