User specified default configuration
- You can now specified a USER configuration as the factory reset
settings. The function of PIO9 has been changed slightly. See section 17.1
Configurable Device ID
– There is now an additional user programmable device ID that can be used
for storing serial numbers, product name, device type or other information. The device ID is part of the
broadcast “hello” UDP message that the module sends out to identify itself. Use the command show
deviceid to display the current setting. For more information on using this command see the “set
optional” section command
UDP broadcast packet –
By default
the WiFly module now sends out a UDP broadcast to
255.255.255.255 on port 55555 at a programmable interval. The broadcast address, port and interval are
set using the set broadcast commands. See section 11
Known Issues
WiFly Module has trouble associating with some 802.11.n access points. The module will crash and
reboot repeatedly. We have seen this behavior with Linksys and Dlink router/access points. If you
disable the .n capability on the router the module will associated correctly.
Flow control is not functional.

•
Sleep mode was drawing 70uA instead of the expected 4uA due to an oscillator that was not
disabled before going to sleep. Refer to the RN-131G datasheet for the proper low-power hardware
configuration.
•
Fixed closing of TCP port on TCP RESET. Previously the module was not handling remote TCP
reset correctly and would disconnect which resulted in a printout of ERR= -5, TCP port was not
closed properly.
•
Fixed clearing and setting of strings in several set commands. In these cases the strings could be
erased, but not reset.
o
set comm remote
o
set comm open
o
set comm close
o
set dns name
o
set dns backup
•
Removed extra character in UART output. Previously the module would insert an extra "\r"
character when '\n' appears in data stream.
•
Added the
get everything
command to dump out all configuration settings
