FCM360 Port Forwarding and DHCP

I am currently working on integrating the FCM360W Wi-Fi module into our Linux-based device, looking for any guidance on the following requirements:

Objective:

The Linux device has an Ethernet interface and hosts a web server (used for configuring the device), which is accessible via Ethernet at 192.168.1.1.

The kernel version is 2.6.

I need to add Wi-Fi functionality using the FCM360W module to allow clients to connect to the device via an access point (AP) and access the web server.

Current Setup:

  • The Quectel FCM360W module is connected to the Linux device via USB and is recognized as /dev/ttyUSB0.
  • I can use minicom on the embedded device to send AT commands to the module and configure it as an access point.

Requirements:

1. Port Forwarding:

  1. How can I forward traffic from the Wi-Fi AP interface to the web server running on the Ethernet interface?

2. DHCP Support:

  1. Does the module provide DHCP server functionality for connected clients? If not, what is the recommended way to assign IP addresses to clients?

  2. 3. Application Notes Document:

  • Could you provide any relevant documentation or examples for integrating the module into a Linux environment for this use case?
