there is no way to detect an AP is no longer present until it becomes
available again (if ever).
set wlan mask <value> sets the wlan channel mask used for scanning channels with the auto-join
policy 1 or 2, used when the channel is set to 0. Value is a bit-map where
bit 0 = channel 1. Input for this command can be entered in decimal or
hex if prefixed with 0x. Default value is 0x1FFF (all channels)
set wlan num <value> sets the default WEP key to use. 1-4 is the valid range.
Example : “set w n 2” sets the default key to 2.
set wlan phrase <string> sets the passphrase for WPA and WPA2 security modes. 1-64 chars. The
passphrase can be alpha and numeric, and is used along with the SSID to
generate a unique 32 byte Pre-shared key (PSK), which is then hashed into
a 256 bit number. Changing either the SSID or this value re-calculates
and stores the PSK.
If exactly 64 chars are entered, it is assumed that this entry is already an
ASCII HEX representation of the 32 byte PSK and the value is simply
stored.
For passphrases that contain spaces use the replacement character $
instead of spaces. For example “my pass word” would be entered
“my$pass$word”. The replacement character can be changed using the
optional command set opt replace <char>.
Example : “set w p password” sets the phrase.
set wlan rate <value> sets the wireless data rate. Lowering the rate increases the effective range
of the WiFly-GSX module. The value entered is mapped according to the
following table
Value Wireless Data Rate
0 1 Mbit/sec
1 2 Mbit/sec
2 5.5 Mbit/sec
3 11 Mbit/sec
4 - 7 Invalid
8 6 Mbit/sec
9 9 Mbit/sec
10 12 Mbit/sec
11 18 Mbit/sec
12 24 Mbit/sec (default)
