5.11. WLAN Parameters
set wlan auth <value> Sets the authentication mode. Not needed unless using auto join mode 2.
i.e. set wlan join 2
Note: During association the WiFly module interrogates the Access Point
and automatically selects the authentication mode.
The current release of Wifly firmware supports these security modes:
• WEP-128 (open mode only, NOT shared mode)
• WPA2-PSK (AES only)
• WPA1-PSK (TKIP only)
• WPA-PSK mixed mode (some APs, not all are supported)
Value Authentication Mode
0 Open (Default)
1 WEP-128
2 WPA1
3 Mixed WPA1 & WPA2-PSK
4 WPA2-PSK
5 Not Used
6 Adhoc, Join any Adhoc network
set wlan channel <value> sets the wlan channel, 1-13 is the valid range for a fixed channel. If 0 is
set, then scan is performed, using the ssid, for all the channels set in the
channel mask.
set wlan ext_antenna <0, 1> determines which antenna is active, use 0 for chip antenna, 1 for UF.L
connector. Default = 0. Only one antenna is active at a time and the
module must be power cycled after switching the antenna.
set wlan join <value> sets the policy for automatically joining/associating with network access
points. This policy is used when the module powers up, including wake
up from the sleep timer.
Value Policy
0 Manual, do not try to join automatically
1 Try to join the access point that matches the stored
SSID, passkey and channel. Channel can be set to
0 for scanning. (Default)
