12. Joining Networks and Making Connections
Configuring the module to make connections is a two set process. First you need to associate with a access
point (AP) and second you need to open a connection.
To configure the module over the WiFi link is a chicken and egg problem. The module must be associated
to a network to connect to it and program the network settings. This problem can be solved by configuring
the module from the UART or over the air using adhoc mode.
If configuring the module using adhoc mode, see section 16. Once in adhoc mode open up a telnet window
on IP address 169.254.1.1 port 2000
If configuring the module using the UART mode either using the RS232 or development board, open a
terminal emulator on the COM port associated with that deveice. The default baud rate is 9600, 8 bits no
parity.
12.1. Associate with a network access point
From within the terminal window, put the WiFly GSX module into command mode by typing $$$ in the
terminal window. You should get CMD back confirming you are in command mode.
Type show net to display the current network settings.
Now finding all available networks with the scan command
If the network you‟re connecting to is open, you can simply use the join command to associate with the
access point. From the scan list above you can see that roving1 is an open network access point.
Type join roving1 to associate with an access point.
