To disconnect from a network, type
leave
<cr>. The red LED blinks quickly when the WiFly module is not associated with
an access point.
If you want the module to associate with a network automatically upon booting (i.e., persistent configuration), use the
set wlan
command with the SSID name. For example, type:
set wlan ssid roving1
save
reboot
When the module wakes or power cycles, the module attempts to associate with the network
roving1
.
To associate with a secure network you must also include the network password. The WiFly module determines the
security type automatically. In this case, type:
set wlan ssid roving1
set wlan pass rubygirl
save
reboot
See Figure 8. You can confirm the security settings by typing
get wlan
<cr>.

Configuration Using Ad Hoc Mode
You can configure the WiFly module over the air via an ad hoc network. Ad hoc networks are useful for point-to-point
communication. In ad hoc mode, the WiFly appears as an access point with which other Wi-Fi devices can associate. You
can turn on ad hoc mode using hardware or software configuration.
NOTE:
The WiFly module only supports the OPEN mode for ad hoc networks.
