Wireless LAN Mode
AT+i Programmer‘s Manual Version 8.32 15-10
When in Roaming mode, iChip does not restart its DHCP client process for new
connections.
When iChip is not in Roaming mode, iChip remains connected to an AP as long as it has
an open active socket, or until triggered by a Link Lost event. When not in Roaming
mode, iChip ignores any decrease in AP signal strength while having open active sockets.
When iChip is not in Roaming mode and no active sockets are open, iChip starts periodic
scanning for APs having an SNR level above the WSRH threshold. iChip attempts to
connect to the AP that has the highest priority. After associating with an AP, iChip starts
its DHCP client and monitors the SNR level of the AP it is associated with.
15.8.3 iChip Behavior in the Event of a Lost Link
If the connection is not active, iChip starts periodic scanning for APs and attempts to
connect to an AP having the highest priority. After associating to an AP, iChip starts its
DHCP client and monitors the SNR level of the AP it is associated with.
If the connection is active, iChip waits for an IP activity command from the host. When
such a command is sent, iChip performs a software reset and starts scanning for APs.
iChip responds with ERROR (074) to indicate that the current connection has been lost.
15.9 Multiple SSIDs
The Multiple SSIDs feature allows you to define an ordered list of SSIDs of Access
Points (APs) or Ad-Hoc networks with which iChip attempts to connect upon power-up.
Each SSID listed can have one of the following security types:
WEP-64
WEP-128
WPA-TKIP
WPA2-AES
No security
The following parameters allow you to define multiple SSIDs:
WSIn Defines an ordered list of allowable SSIDs.
WPPn Sets the Wireless LAN PSK passphrase for WPA and WPA2 encryption for
each individual SSID on the list.
WKYn Sets the Wireless LAN WEP key for each individual SSID on the list.
WSTn Sets the Wireless LAN security type for each individual SSID on the list.
