3.4. ACTION COMMANDS
$$$ Enter command mode Characters are PASSED until this exact
sequence is seen. If any bytes are seen before these chars, or after
these chars, in a 1 second window, command mode will not be
entered and these bytes will be passed on to other side.
close Causes a network disconnect to occur.
exit Exit command mode. Exit command mode. “EXIT” will be displayed.
open Connect The device will attempt to connect to the remote stored
address and port number.
Ping <ip adr> <num> Ping remote host. Default sends 1 packet. Optional <num>
sends <num> pings at 10 pings per second. If <num> = 0xFFFF,
pings continuously as fast as possible to test link.
Use “Ping 0” to terminate a ping command.
A few handy “shortcuts”:
ping g pings the gateway
ping h pings the host
ping t pings the timeserver
ping f pings the ftp server
reboot Forces a complete reboot of the device (similar to a power cycle)
forcing a WATCHDOG timeout. This action takes about 5 seconds.
scan <time> <active> Performs an active probe scan of access points on all 13
channels, and prints out MAC address, receive signal strength, and
SSID name. Optional <time> in ms to scan per channel, default =
200ms. If the <active> option is set = 0, passive scan is
performed. This command will cause the device to disassociate if it
is connected to an AP, and the user should reboot the device once
scanning is complete.
time Sends a UDP time server request packet out.
3.5 FILE IO COMMANDS
del <name> <num> deletes a file. Optional <num> will override the name and use
the sector number shown in the “ls” command.

ls Displays the files in the system
save Saves the configuration to “config” (the default file).
save <name> Saves the configuration data to a new file name
