set wlan linkmon <value>
sets the link monitor timeout threshold. If set to 1 or more, WiFly
will scan once per second for the AP it is associated with. The value
is the threshold of failed scans before the WiFly declares “AP is Lost”,
de-authenticates. The WiFly will retry the association based on the
join policy variable. A value of 5 is recommended, as some APs will
not always respond to probes. Default is 0 (disabled). Without this
feature, there is no way to detect an AP is no longer present until it
becomes available again (if ever).
set wlan mask <value>
sets the wlan channel mask used for scanning channels with the
auto-join policy 1 or 2, used when the channel is set to 0. Value is a
bit-map where bit 0 = channel 1. Input for this command can be
entered in decimal or hex if prefixed with 0x. Default value is
0x1FFF (all channels)
set wlan num <value>
sets the default WEP key to use. 1-4 is the valid range.
Example : “set w n 2” sets the default key to 2.
set wlan phrase <string>
sets the passphrase for WPA and WPA2 security modes. 1-64 chars.
The passphrase can be alpha and numeric, and is used along with
the SSID to generate a unique 32 byte Pre-shared key (PSK), which
is then hashed into a 256 bit number. Changing either the SSID or
this value re-calculates and stores the PSK.
If exactly 64 chars are entered, it is assumed that this entry is
already an ASCII HEX representation of the 32 byte PSK and the
value is simply stored.
For passphrases that contain spaces use the replacement character $
instead of spaces. For example “my pass word” would be entered
“my$pass$word”. The replacement character can be changed using
the optional command
set opt replace <char>
.
Example : “set w p password” sets the phrase.
set wlan rate <value>
sets the wireless data rate. Lowering the rate increases the effective
range of the WiFly-GSX module. The value entered is mapped
according to the following table
