COMMAND REFERENCE
Roving Networks WiFly modules support a variety of commands for configuration. This section describes these commands
in detail and provides examples.
COMMAND SYNTAX
To issue commands to the module, you send a keyword followed by optional parameters. Commands are case sensitive,
and you cannot use spaces in parameters. Use a $ to indicate a space, e.g., MY NETWORK should be written as
MY$NETWORK. Hex input data can be uppercase or lowercase. String text data, such as the SSID, is case sensitive.
You can use shorthand for the parameters. For example, the following commands are equivalent:
• set uart baudrate 115200
• set uart b 115200
• set u b 15200
NOTE: You cannot use shorthand for command keywords. For example, s uart baudrate 115200 is illegal.
You can type numbers in decimal (e.g., 115200) or hexadecimal. To enter a number in hex, use 0x<value>. For example,
the hex value FF would be entered as 0xFF.

There are five general command categories, as shown in Table 2.
