J4) on the EVK board:
2Connect the USB to UART cable to your computer. This will
power up the EVK board.
3Open a terminal emulation application e.g. teraterm, PuTTy,
etc. (Serial settings: 115200N81)
4Open a session associated with the COM port assigned to
the EVK.
5The terminal session will display a shell> prompt. You now
have access to the demo platform console, configuration and

Prior to configuring the interface you will need to either set-up a test wireless
network or know which available wireless network you want to connect the
EVK to. In either case you will need to know the following information prior to
attempting to connect:
Network SSID.
Security configuration and appropriate credentials. The following uses
WPA2-PSK, you will need to know the PSK.
1
Set the passphrase of the Wireless network (using WPA2
PSK) you wish to connect to. Use the following command to
set the passphrase:
wmiconfig --p <passphrase>
2Set the encryption protocol to CCMP using:
wmiconfig --wpa 2 CCMP CCMP
3Set the SSID of the wireless network you wish to connect
to, using:
wmiconfig --connect <ssid>
5To get an IP address, make sure DHCP is enabled on the
AP. Use the command:
wmiconfig --ipdhcp
6When the DHCP process is completed the EVK will display
the following:
_dhc_setip Got IP address <IP Address>
7
Check the connection status using the command
wmiconfig.
