ENTER COMMAND MODE

The following steps provide an example for entering Command mode through a

terminal emulator on the RN171 Evaluation Board. The output will differ depending on

which evaluation board is being accessed:

Type three $$$ characters with no additional characters before or after each

character. The RN module replies with CMD on the terminal emulator to indicate

it is in Command mode.

Type show net and press <Enter> to display the current network settings

(Figure 2-3 shows the current network settings of the WiFly application).

CURRENT NETWORK SETTINGS

A command to the RN module is first sent with a keyword followed by an optional

parameter. For example:

set uart baudrate 115200

The RN modules supports a variety of command keywords. The complete command

reference is available in the “WiFly Command Reference, Advanced Features and

Applications User’s Guide Reference” (DS50002230), which is available from the

Microchip web site at: http://www.microchip.com.

Note:

When a command is completed, the terminal displays a prompt in the

format <x.xx>, where ‘x.xx’ indicates the RN module’s firmware version.
