ATC-2000WF Command Reference
(Version 2.0)
1.0 Configuration
1.1 Entering Command Mode
Upon power up, the device will be in data mode. To
enter command mode, exactly the three characters
must be sent. The device will respond with CMD.
While in command mode, the device will accept ASCII
bytes as commands.To exit command mode, send
exit<cr>. The device will respond with "EXIT".
Parameters, such as the SSID, channel, IP address,
Serial Port settings, and all other settings can be
viewed and configured in command mode. ASCII
characters can be sent through a terminal emulator
connected to the UART or via Telnet. When using the
UART communications settings should match the
settings used when ATC-2000WF connects,
for example: the default is 9600 baudrate ,8 bits, No
Parity, 1 stop bit, and hardware flow control
disabled.
Run your favorite terminal emulator,
CD/tool/pcommlite.
Type $$$ on your terminal emulator. You should see
"CMD" returned to you. This will verify that your cable
and comm. settings are correct. Most valid commands
will return an "AOK", response, and invalid ones will
return an"" ERR" description.
To exit command mode, type "exit"<cr>.
NOTE: You can enter command mode locally over the
serial port at any time when not connected, and also
when connected if the appropriate settings are enabled.
Remote configuration using ADHOC mode
Using adhoc mode to configure the device eliminates
the need for the module to be associated with a
network access point. In adhoc mode the module
creates it own "on demand" network that you can
connect to via your computer like you would to any
other network.
$$$
To enable adhoc mode via hardware set inner SW1
DIP1 to ON(Default is OFF).(You should open the
ATC-2000WF metal case).The module will creates an
adhoc network with the following
SSID: WiFly-GSX-XX where XX is the final two bytes of
the devices MAC address
Channel: 1
DHCP: OFF
IP address: 169.254.1.1
Netmask: 255.255.0.0
From your computer, connect to the WiFly-GSX-XX
network. This is an open network which does
not require a pass phrase or pass key. Note: currently
the WiFly only supports OPEN mode for
You can find on creating adhoc networks.
NOTE: It may take a couple of minutes for Auto IP in
Windows to assign an IP address and connect
to the network. You can check IP address of your
Windows computer by running the ipconfig
command in the command window. If connected, this
command will show you the IP address and net
mask for your computer.
The IP address assigned by Auto IP must be on the
subnet 169.254.1.X otherwise the WiFly GSX
module will not be accessible.
NOTE: If your machine has both a wireless and wired
interface hardware you will need to disable the
wired LAN interface hardware before connecting to the
adhoc network. If the wired LAN is enabled
the computer will assign an IP address that is not on
the same subnet as the WiFly module.
Once connected and you have a good IP address,
telnet into the WiFly module on port 2000
telnet 169.254.1.1 2000
You should see the response "*HELLO*"
You can now enter command mode and configure the
module.
2.0 ATC-2000WF Command Reference
2.1 Command Syntax
Commands begin with a keyword, and have optional
additional parameters, generally space delimited.
Commands and options are case sensitive. Hex input
data can be upper or lower case. String text data, such
as SSID is also case sensitive.
The first command is fully decoded and must be
complete. Other command parameters can be shorted
by using only the first character.
For example,
set uart baudrate 115200 is valid,
set uart b 115200 is also valid,
set u b 115200 is also valid, however,
