You can then restart the server by issuing any other adb command. </p>

<h2 id="wireless">Wireless usage</h2>

<p>

adb is usually used over USB.  However, it is also possible to use over

Wi-Fi, as described here.

</p>

<ol>

<li>

Connect Android device and adb host computer

to a common Wi-Fi network accessible to both.

We have found that not all access points

are suitable; you may need to use an access point

whose firewall is configured properly to support adb.

</li>

<li>

Connect the device with USB cable to host.

</li>

<li>

Make sure adb is running in USB mode on host.

<pre>

$ adb usb

restarting in USB mode

</pre>

</li>

<li>

Connect to the device over USB.

<pre>

$ adb devices

List of devices attached

######## device

</pre>

</li>

<li>

Restart host adb in tcpip mode.

<pre>

$ adb tcpip 5555

restarting in TCP mode port: 5555

</pre>

</li>

<li>

Find out the IP address of the Android device:

Settings -> About tablet -> Status -> IP address.

Remember the IP address, of the form <code>#.#.#.#</code>.

</li>

<li>

Connect adb host to device:

<pre>

$ adb connect #.#.#.#

connected to #.#.#.#:5555

</pre>

</li>

<li>

Remove USB cable from device, and confirm you can still access device:

<pre>

$ adb devices

List of devices attached

#.#.#.#:5555 device

</pre>

</ol>

<p>

You're now good to go!

</p>

<p>

If the adb connection is ever lost:

</p>

<ol>

<li>

Make sure that your host is still connected to the same Wi-Fi network your Android device is.

</li>

<li>

Reconnect by executing the "adb connect" step again.

</li>

<li>

Or if that doesn't work, reset your adb host:

<pre>

adb kill-server

</pre>

and then start over from the beginning.

</li>

</ol>
