<value> parameters, the module attempts to connect to the stored remote host IP
address and remote port number. <address> can also be a DNS host name that the
module attempts to resolve.
Default: Stored remote IP address and port
Example: open 10.20.20.62 2000 // Open a connection to 10.20.20.62
// port 2000
2.6.11 ping <string> <value>
This command pings a remote host, where <string> is one of the parameters shown in
Tabl e 2-17 and <value> is the number of pings to send. By default, the module sends
1 packet. The optional <value> sends < value> pings, at 10 per second.
Default: 1 packet
Example: ping 10.20.20.12 10 // Ping 10.20.20.12 10 times
2.6.12 reboot
This command forces the module to reboot (similar to a power cycle).
Example: reboot // Reboot the module
2.6.13 run <string>
This command is used to run an application using ASCII commands, where <string> is
web_app or wps_app.
Example: run web_app // Runs the configuration web server
run wps_app // Runs the WPS application
2.6.14 scan <value> <char>
This command performs an active probe scan of access points on all 13 channels,
where <value> is an optional parameter representing the time in ms per channel.
<char> represents the optional parameter P, which causes the module to perform a
passive scan, and list all access points it can see in passive mode.
When you use this command, the module returns the MAC address, signal strength,
SSID name, and security mode of the access points it finds. The default scan time is
200 ms/channel or about 3 seconds. See “Scan Output Format” on page 64 for more
information on the format of the scan command output.
You can also use this command in ad hoc mode.

Option Description
g This option pings the gateway. The gateway IP address is loaded if DHCP is turned on; otherwise, you
must set it using the set ip gateway <address> command.
h This option pings the stored host IP address. You can set the host IP address using the set ip host
<address> command.
i This option pings a known Internet server, www.neelum.com, by first resolving the URL. This option is
useful to demonstrate that DNS is working and that the device has Internet connectivity.
0 This option terminates a previously issued ping command.
<address> Ping a remote host where <address> is an IP address in the form <value>.<value>.<value>.<value>
with <value> being a number between 0 and 255.
