4. WiFly Command Reference
4.1. Command Syntax
To configure different parameters of the module, it needs to be put into command (configuration) mode.
This is done by sending the escape sequence of three dollar signs $$$
After the module sees this escape sequence, it will respond with a CMD indicating that it is in command
mode.
NOTE: The escape sequence is $$$ ONLY. There is no carriage return or line feed after the third
dollar sign. Once in command mode, all commands terminate with a carriage return.
Commands begin with a keyword, and have optional additional parameters, generally space delimited.
Commands and options are case sensitive. Hex input data can be upper or lower case. String text data, such
as SSID is also case sensitive.
The first command is fully decoded and must be complete. Other command parameters can be shorted by
using only the first character.
For example,
set uart baudrate 115200 is valid,
set uart b 115200 is also valid,
set u b 115200 is also valid, however,
s uart baudrate 115200 is NOT valid.
Numbers can be entered as either decimal, (like 115200 above) or HEX. To enter HEX, use 0x<value>.
For example, the HEX value FF would be entered as 0xFF.
4.2. Command Organization
Commands fall into 5 general categories:
SET COMMANDS Take effect immediately, permanently (when save command is issued).
GET COMMANDS Retrieve the permanently stored information for display to user.
STATUS COMMANDS See what is going on with the interface, IP status, etc.
ACTION COMMANDS Perform action such as scan, connect, disconnect, etc.
