4. Connect the 12V1A input adapter to the power input of the development board.

4.2. Oprogramowanie sprzętowe

The HLK-RM65 module comes with default OpenWrt21 firmware, supporting Linux secondary development. This allows for extensive customization and configuration of routing functionalities.

5. Instrukcja obsługi

Once the HLK-RM65 module is assembled and powered on, it functions as a routing module. The default OpenWrt firmware provides a web-based interface for configuration.

1. Włączanie: Connect the power adapter. The module should power on, and indicator lights (if present on the development board) will illuminate.
2. Połączenie internetowe: Connect a computer to one of the LAN ports on the development board using an Ethernet cable. Alternatively, search for the default Wi-Fi network broadcast by the module and connect to it.
3. Dostęp Web Interfejs: Otwórz web browser and navigate to the default IP address of the OpenWrt router (commonly 192.168.1.1). You may be prompted for a username and password (default credentials are often root with no password, or admin/admin).
4. Configure WAN: Set up your internet connection under the Network > WAN section. Choose your WAN access mode (PPPoE, Dynamic IP, Static IP, or 3G/4G/5G if supported by your setup).
5. Konfiguruj Wi-Fi: Navigate to Network > Wireless to configure your 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi networks, including SSID, password, and security settings.
6. Ustawienia zaawansowane: Explore other sections for advanced configurations such as static address assignment, virtual server, port forwarding, DMZ host, and firewall rules.

6. Konserwacja

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your HLK-RM65 module, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Warunki środowiskowe: Operate the module within the specified working temperature range of -20℃ to +80℃. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, high humidity, or direct sunlight.
• Czyszczenie: Keep the module and development board clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Zasilanie: Always use the recommended 3.3V power supply for the module and the 12V1A adapter for the development board. Using an incorrect power supply can damage the device.
