Step 2: Configuring the WiFly Module
The most basic configuration requires only the name (SSID) and channel of the wireless network. The
WiFly module can only associate with one network at a time. It is recommended that you first configure
the WiFly module using an open access point to simplify the setup.
Using the WiFly Utility to configure the WiFly module
NOTE: The WiFly utility only recognizes the USB
connector setup. If you are using the serial connection
you will need to us a terminal emulator program for
configuration and setup.
The WiFly Utility simplifies the task configuring the WiFly
module by detecting the COM port that the USB serial
device is connected to and providing graphical interface
for the WiFly programming language.
