Open the “Control Panel / Networking and Sharing / Networking and Sharing Center” dialog in Vista or
“Control Panel / Network Connections” dialog in Windows XP. From here, view available networks and
select the name of the adhoc network.
NOTE: Once associated with the adhoc network, Vista auto IP may take a couple minutes to allocate an IP
address for your computer. To work around this you can assign a static IP address in the network settings/
TCP/IP/Properties menu.
Once associated with the adhoc network you can open a connection or telnet window as you would with an
enterprise connection.
NOTE: The module does not support adhoc and enterprise network modes simultaneously.
17.3. Scanning for APs in Adhoc mode
The WiFly module supports adhoc and infrastructure networking modes. However, it does not support both
the modes simultaneously. Scanning for wireless networks is a function of infrastructure mode. To do this,
the WiFly module has to disable adhoc mode and scan.
With the release of firmware version 2.22 and later, it is possible to scan from adhoc mode. Issuing the scan
command temporarily disables adhoc while the module is scanning. The adhoc is restored automatically
when the scan is complete. If you are connected to the module over telnet, the result of the scan command is
sent over telnet and then adhoc is restored.
