13.3Determine and Store the Access Point SSID

On the Host computer, use the terminal emulation program to type the following CLI commands in the order shown:

	Table 16 - UART SSID & Authentication
CLI Command		Description
wl-scan<CR>		The module scans for APs and returns information on
		each one it discovers. Note the SSID value that is
		returned, as you will need to enter it when configuring
		the device in the next steps.
wl-ssid [SSID]<CR>		Associates the module with the network name [SSID]
		you specify. [SSID] is the value returned by the wl-
		scan command.
commit<CR>		Stores the information to flash memory.
restart		Restarts the device and installs the new settings.

If your access point has security enabled, you will also need to use the CLI to enter those parameters (See the Enterprise CLI Reference Guide for details). That setup is outside the scope of this user guide, which assumes that the AP being tested with has no security.

After issuing the commands, the unit will restart and apply the network settings. Once restarted the LINK LED will stop blinking and go solid. If DHCP is enabled on the network the POWER and LINK LED’s will turn solid green.

13.4Determine the Device’s IP address

On the Host computer, use the terminal emulation program to type the following CLI commands:

Table 17 - UART Determine Module's IP Address

CLI Command	Description
Send Break Sequence	The serial port starts up in a listen mode waiting for a
	request for a data tunnel. To access the CLI mode in
	which set-up can take place the break sequence must
	be sent.
	The default break sequence for the device is ÿ~ABD
	The sequence must be sent with no trailing characters.
	If received correctly the device will respond OK.
auth dpac dpac <CR>	Authenticate with the device server.
wl-ip<CR>	The module returns the IP address assigned to it by
	the DHCP server.
