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>
