For e-loading keypad setup, you need to add Arduino because ESP8266 boards have limited PINS. Just connect the Arduino's TX to ESP8266's RX. If they are on different power adapter source, link the module's ground. Please refer to Arduino for keypad for more information. If you are looking for the configuration guide, refer to ESP8266 Configuration Guide.
