Airborne Enterprise WLNN EVB Users Guide
9.3 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 46 - ETHERNET 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 who’s [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 CLI Reference Guide for details). That setup is
outside the scope of this user guide, which assumes that the AP being used has
no security.
After issuing the commands, press the reset switch (SW2) on the EVB. The EVB
restarts and the RF_ACT LED turn on solid to show that the module has
connected to the AP. You will need to reconnect the Telnet session after each
reset or restart.
