WiFly RN-XV cannot be configured

Hi all,

I have recently purchased a WiFly RN-XV Module with firmware version 4.00.1. I am trying to setup the settings of the module via Telnet connecting the module in the ADHOC mode (pin 8 to 3.3V). Initially the module connects via an open wireless network in my PC and I am entering the setup mode using “telnet 1.2.3.4 2000” and then pressing $$$.

I am trying unsuccessfully to setup the following: “set ip dhcp 1” and “set wlan join 1” and then the ssid “set wlan ssid (network name)” and "set wlan phrase (password). Finally, I enter “save” to store my new setup. What happens is that the module cannot store the first two commands DHCP=ON and Join=1 (this settings are returning to DHCP= SERVER and Join= 7 after I reboot the device), although it stores the ssid and password. Also, most of the times the module is disconnecting automatically when I enter the first two commands and thus I have to do the whole thing again.

I have done the same procedure with another WiFly module previously with no problems so I know that something is wrong with this one.

Please advice me if I could try anything else on this module to set it up or if I should return it as a faulty one.

Looking forward for your answers,

Thank you in advance,

Akis
