WiFly GSX Breakout - DHCP issue
Posted: Sat Apr 03, 2010 8:57 am
I am having difficulties getting a WiFly GSX connected to my wireless network which uses DHCP. I have tried using two different LinkSys WRT-54G routers (one the actual access point using security and another running dd-wrt in open mode) and observe similar results. My connections are RX, TX, GND, and a regulated 3.3v supply connected to VDD-BAT & VDD-IN. I have VREG-IN connected to ground.
It seems that I can associate with either access point, but I cannot get DHCP information from either. After the successful association, the GSX reports "DHCP: Start" and that's it. I stay associated, but no IPs are passed to the module. If I assign an IP, gateway, mask, etc. From the GSX standpoint it appears that I'm connected and the module says it is listening on port 2000. However, I am unable to connect to the module or make outgoing connections from the module. That leads me to believe that it really isn't connected.
I have run out of ideas. Has anyone seen this before and found out what the problem is?
Here is some of the output from TerraTerm along with some comments:
