8.3 Determine and Store the Access Point SSID
On the Host computer, use the terminal emulation program to type the following
CLI commands in the order shown:
TABLE 43 - UART SSID & AUTHENTICATION
CLI Command Description
wl-scan The module scans for APs and returns information on
each one it discovers. Note the SSID value that is
returned, as you will need to enter it in the next
command
wl-ssid [SSID] Associates the module with the AP whose [SSID] you
specify. [SSID] is the value returned by the wl-scan
command.
commit Stores the information to flash memory.
If your access point has security enabled, you will also need to use the CLI to
enter those parameters (See the Enterprise CLI Reference Guide for details).
That setup is outside the scope of this user guide, which assumes that the AP
being tested with has no security.
After issuing the commands, press the reset switch (SW2) on the EVB. The EVB
restarts and the RF_ACT LED blinks to show that the module is searching for an
AP. Once the module has found and associated to the AP entered using the wl-
ssid command the RF_ACT LED will turn on continuously.
8.4 Determine the Module ’s IP address
On the Host computer, use the terminal emulation program to type the following
CLI commands:
TABLE 44 - UART DETERMINE MODULE'S IP ADDRESS
CLI Command Description
auth dpac dpac Authenticate with the device server.
wl-ip The module returns the IP address assigned to it by
the DHCP server.
8.5 Accessing the Module Using Telnet
On the Remote computer, use HyperTerminal to start a Telnet session. In the
first screen, name the session
‘TCP ’ (for reference purposes only),
click on any icon you want to associate with this Telnet session, and click OK. In
the next screen, click TCP/IP (W insock) for Connect Using. In the Host Address
field, type the module
’s IP address. Leave the default Port Number value of 23
and click OK.
The HyperTerminal application will then attempt to open a TCP session with the
module, Connecting is shown in the status bar at the bottom-left side of the
screen as HyperTerminal tries to make the Telnet connection. When the
connection is made, Connecting is replaced by Connected. You can know
interact with the Airborne Device Server, to authenticate with the module type
auth dpac dpac.
