RN-XV-RD2-EVAL-UM Datasheet, PDF (10/14 Pages) List of Unclassifed Manufacturers – This document describes the hardware and software setup for Roving Networks RN-XV-RD2 evaluation board, which allows you to evaluate the RN-XV 802.11 b/g module.

RN-XV-RD2-EVAL-UM
Set the WiFly module’s IP address and netmask. Because automatic IP assignment fixes the first two bytes of the IP
address, use 255.255.0.0 as the netmask so that other devices connecting to the module can be reached. You can
also set the netmask to a smaller subnet if the other device’s IP addresses begin statically at the same subnet as the
ad hoc device.
set ip address 169.254.1.1
set ip netmask 255.255.0.0
Turn off DHCP so that the module does not attempt to obtain an IP address from another device.
set ip dhcp 0
Save your configuration and reboot. The module will be in ad hoc mode. See Figure 7.
Figure 7. Enable Ad Hoc Network Mode
Associate with an Ad Hoc Network
The WiFly module can associate with an ad hoc network created by another device. Type the commands:
set wlan ssid my_adhoc_network
save
reboot
To associate with an ad hoc network without saving the changes to the module’s flash memory, use the join
command, e.g., join my_adhoc_network <cr>.
If DHCP is enabled, the WiFly device obtains an IP address automatically when it associates with the ad hoc network.
By definition, auto IP sets the first two bytes of the subnet to 169.254.xxx.xxx. The WiFly device requires 2 to 3
seconds to resolve the IP address.
To set the IP address statically, disable DHCP and explicitly assign the IP address:
set ip dhcp 0
set ip address 169.254.1.2
