The blue LED also indicates battery status and will blink slowly when the batteries are low except when
charging. When charging the blue LED remains off. If the device is on while the batteries are charging the
blue LED will come solid when the batteries are fully charged
When using switch1 to enable adhoc mode, after the device powers on, all LEDs will blink in succession
from green to blue. This does not occur when adhoc mode is set through software.
There is an additional red LED near the power connector that indicates external power is present at either
the power plug of DB9 connector.

Configuration Switches
The configuration switches on the top of the WiFly Serial Adapter are small. You will need a paper clip or
small screw driver to change them. Hold the devices with the DB9 connector facing to the right, the
switches are numbered one to four from bottom to top. The off position is towards the DB9 connector.
Switch 1 – Adhoc and restoring factory defaults
With this switch ON, the device powers up in adhoc mode. The SSID of the adhoc network will be Wifly-
GSX-NN where NN is the last two digits of the devices mac address.
To restore factory defaults, power on the device with this switch ON, then toggle the switch five (5) times.
If there is a config file named "user" on the WiFly Serial adapter file system, it is read in as the factory
defaults instead of using the hardcoded defaults. If no "user" config file is present, the hardcoded factory
defaults are used.
The "user" config file is created using the "
save user
" command which saves the current configuration
settings.
Even if there is a “user” config file arming and toggling this switch seven (7) times will override the “user”
settings and restore the WiFly module to the factory hardcoded defaults. This is a bypass mechanism in
case a bad configuration is saved into the “user” file.
