How can I connect to Android with ADB over TCP?

1. Connect device via USB and make sure debugging is working, then run:

adb tcpip 5555

adb connect <DEVICE_IP_ADDRESS>:5555

2. Disconnect USB and proceed with wireless debugging.
3. When you're done and want to switch back to USB debugging, run:

adb -s <DEVICE_IP_ADDRESS>:5555

To find the IP address of your device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi > Advanced > IP Address on your device or run adb shell netcfg.

No root required. Only one device can be debugged at a time.
The adb command is located in the platform-tools folder of the Android SDK.

From adb --help:

connect <host>:<port>         - Connect to a device via TCP/IP

That's a command-line option by the way.
You should try connecting the phone to your Wi-Fi, and then get its IP address from your router. It's not going to work on the cell network.
The port is 5554.
