It may take a few minutes for Windows to assign an IP address and connect to the net-
work. You can check your computer’s IP address by running the ipconfig command in
the Command Window. If connected, this command displays your computer’s IP
address and netmask.
Once connected with an appropriate IP address, telnet into the WiFly module on port
2000 using the following command:
telnet 169.254.1.1 2000
The module issues the response *HELLO*. You can now enter command mode using
the escape sequence $$$ and configure the module.
In firmware versions 2.28 and higher, you can disable remote configuration, e.g., for
security. To disable remote configuration, use bit 4 in the TCP mode register by issuing
the command:
set ip tcp-mode 0x10
Note: The automatically assigned IP address must be on the 169.254.x.y subnet,
otherwise the WiFly module will not be accessible. If your computer has
both wireless and wired interface hardware, you may need to disable the
wired LAN interface hardware before connecting to the ad hoc 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.
