CC3200 WLAN Scan Policies Application

Overview

CC3200 device allows you to set scan policy and enables the scan. Using sl_WlanPolicySet API we can set scan policy to SL_POLICY_CONNECTION,SL_POLICY_SCAN or SL_POLICY_PM. Once you set the scan cycle and enables the same, we can retrieve the results of Scan using sl_WlanGetNetworkList API. It gives you information related to RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication),Security Information, BSSID and SSID information.

Application details

The example intends to demonstrate how scan policy is set in the device. The procedure includes the following steps:

- Make sure the connection policy is not set (so no scan is run in the background)
- Enable scan, set scan cycle to 10 seconds and set scan policy. This starts the scan
- Get scan results - all 20 entries in one transaction
- Get scan results - 4 transactions of 5 entries
- Disable scan
