With the adhoc jumper in place the above settings override the current saved configuration settings.
From your computer, connect to the WiFly-GSX-XX network. This is an open network that does not
require a pass phrase or pass key. Currently the WiFly only supports OPEN mode for creating adhoc
networks.
NOTE: It may take a couple of minutes for Auto IP in Windows to assign an IP address and connect to the
network. You can check IP address of your Windows computer by running the ipconfig command in the
command window. If connected, this command will show you the IP address and net mask for your
computer.
The IP address assigned by Auto IP must be on the subnet 169.254.x.y subnet otherwise the WiFly GSX
module will not be accessible.
NOTE: If your machine has both wireless and wired interface hardware you may need to disable the wired
LAN interface hardware before connecting to the adhoc network. If the wired LAN is enabled, the
computer may assign an IP address that is not on the same subnet as the WiFly module.
Once connected and you have a good IP address, telnet into the WiFly module on port 2000
telnet 169.254.1.1 2000
You should see the response *HELLO*
You can now enter command mode by entering the escape sequence $$$ and configure the module.
NOTE: In firmware version 2.28 and later, remote configuration can be disabled. This may be required in
some applications for security reasons.
To disable remote configuration, use the bit 4 in the TCP mode register by issuing the set ip tcp-mode 0x10
