If you are connecting to an open network, use the join command to associate with the
access point. The scan list in Figure 4-3 shows that roving1 is an open access point.
Type join roving1 (or join # 1) to associate with the network as shown in Figure 4-4.
FIGURE 4-4: JOIN THE NETWORK
If the access point is secure, you must set the pass phrase prior to issuing the join com-
mand. The module attempts to inquire and determine the access point’s security pro-
tocol; you do not need to set the authentication mode. To set the WPA pass phrase use
the set wlan phrase <string> command. For WEP, set the key using the set wlan key
<value> command.
Once the module has joined the network successfully, it stores the access point’s SSID.
You can save the SSID and the pass phrase to the configuration file so that the module
can associate with the access point each time it boots.
