The Matter application requires the QCC730 device to be connected to a Wi-Fi network before commissioning. Use the UART console (115200 8N1) to run the following command after the device boots:

    wifi connect -s <ssid> -k 1 -p <password>Copy to clipboard

In this command:

- `<ssid>`: SSID of the target AP
- `-k 1`: Security key type (1 = WPA2-PSK); use `-k 0` for an open network
- `<password>`: Passphrase of the AP

For example:

    wifi connect -s MyHomeWiFi -k 1 -p MyPassphrase123Copy to clipboard

After the connection is established, run the following command to verify the assigned IP address:

    net iface showCopy to clipboard
