WiFi Console

The TCPIP WiFi Console Demo App (previously the TCPIP WiFi Iperf Demo App) is a command line interface (CLI) to the MRF24WB0M / MRF24WG0M. It allows for command line debugging and setup of network information for the wireless LAN. It also has iperf built in for doing WLAN bandwidth testing. This application is meant more as a development debug tool, and should be disabled in end user applications. 

The following network types are supported

  • CFG_WF_INFRASTRUCTURE (as a client in infrastructure network)
  • CFG_WF_ADHOC
  • CFG_WF_P2P (Wi-Fi Direct) (as a group client in Wi-Fi Direct network)

 

CFG_WF_P2P is only available for MRF24WG0MA/B. 

 

New security modes are supported.

  • WF_SECURITY_WPS_PUSH_BUTTON (supported by MRF24WG0M only)
  • WF_SECURITY_WPS_PIN (supported by MRF24WG0M only)

 

Wireless configurations are set up in WF_Config.h
