You can confirm that the device has properly associated with the ad hoc network using the
ping
keyword:
ping 169.254.1.1 10
Associate with the Module over an Ad Hoc Network from a Computer
You can associate with the ad hoc network from a computer by specifying the network name (and password, if
required) in the operating system. For example, choose Control Panel > Networking and Sharing > Networking and
Sharing Center (Windows Vista) or Control Panel > Network Connections (Windows XP). You can then view available
networks and select the name of the WiFly ad hoc network.
NOTE:
Once associated with the ad hoc network, Windows Vista may require a few minutes to allocate an IP
address. To work around this issue, assign a static IP address under Network Settings > TCP/IP >
Properties.
Once your computer is associated with the ad hoc network, you can use the WiFly module’s IP address to open a
connection or connect using telnet as you would with an enterprise connection.
NOTE:
The WiFly module does not support ad hoc and infrastructure network modes simultaneously.
Once you have associated with the other network, you can telnet into the WiFly module to configure it. Open the
telnet connection using port 2000.
EXAMPLES
The following examples control the relay functionality. Two GPIO pins on the RN-XV module control the relays. You
turn the relays on/off by driving the pins high/low using software commands. You can use these relays for a variety of
wireless applications, such as controlling equipment (light bulbs, fans, etc.).
Example: Relay 1
set system mask 0x21f2 I
// Turn the relay on
set system output 0x0002
set system mask 0x21f2 I
// Turn the relay off
set system output 0
Example: Relay 2
set system mask 0x21f2 I
// Turn the relay on
set system output 0x0100
set system mask 0x21f2 I
// Turn the relay off
set system output 0
