Introduction 1.3.2 Wireless peripheral The wireless peripheral feature allows a device to interact with high-speed USB peripherals over WiGig. For example, a directly attached storage device equipped with Maple Peak SNK would allow a high-speed USB 3.0 connection with a Maple Peak equipped tablet or notebook. When connecting, many of the wireless docking capabilities would be applicable (excluding of course the display capabilities), allowing USB 3.0 like throughputs (>1 Gbps) for on-desk distances. 1.
Maple Peak Setup 2 Maple Peak Setup The Maple Peak setup consists of the following components: • One WiGig link that contains Maple Peak on the NB side and Maple Peak SNK on the dock side. Note: Note that each MpL-M card (the baseband) is connected to MpL-R card (the 60 Ghz radio) • A PC that serves as the NB host WiGig connectivity can be performed in two modes: • • Test mode – setup can perform a pre-defined set of traffic according to the accompanying OEM Tool application.

Software Install 3 Software Install 3.1 NB side installation 1. Go to G Layout\Win7Plus\ and run Setup.exe. Setup.exe installs the relevant installer for either a 32-bit platform or a 64-bit platform. 2. Check I have reviewed and agree to the EULA and click Install. This will install the operational WiGig software for the NB. 3. When the application is successfully installed check the Do you want to launch CU? option. Select Finish.
Software Install Note: During the first installation the device driver is installed and the following “Windows Security” pop-up may appear: 4. Choose Install this driver software anyway to continue the installation. Note: To avoid this window, run the certificate file (iCert.spc) from the Certificates layout. • Run setup.exe –q from a command line to run the installer in silent mode. Note: The above installation is only for RF setup.
Software Install 3. Verify the following files are located in the installer folder: a. WiGigInstaller_x**.msi b. WiGigInstaller_DbgStack_x**.msi The suffix x** means x86 for a 32-bit platform and x64 for a 64-bit platform. Note: During the first installation the device driver is installed and the following “Windows Security” pop-up may appear: 4. Choose Install this driver software anyway and continue the installer.
Software Install Select Hardware Type Maple Peak can communicate with another device via: • • IF (Intermediate Frequency): a cable is required between the card (XFL connector) and another device. RF: the M.2 card is connected to the RFEM. 6. Select the relevant mode. Choose IF mode if you have no RFEM connected to the M.2. This has no effect on the hostless setup; it is in RF mode after disconnecting the PCIe. Select Number of Antennas 7. Select one antenna.
Software Install Select Stacks 8. Select stacks to install: • • • Operational stack – Select Debug stack – Select NDIS driver – Don't Select 9. Click Install. The installer installs and configures the card based on user specifications. This process takes up to two minutes; a verification popup appears when successfully completed. Note: 3.2.
WiGig Application User Manual 4 WiGig Application User Manual The WiGig Connection Utility (CU) is a dedicated application that runs on the NB, lists available docks, and creates a WiGig link with a selected dock. The activity button and LEDs are used for connection/disconnection flows on the dock side. Double click the WiGig CU icon on the desktop to activate the CU application on the NB side unless you checked the option to launch CU after installation (see Section 3.1 Step 3).
WiGig Application User Manual 3. The dock name shown in the list (before pairing) is the out-of-box device name and is derived from its MAC address. 4. A Connect button appears when a listed dock is selected. 4.2 Connect to a new dock 1. Select a non-paired dock and click Connect. e. Connecting to a dock for the first time (or to a dock that is set to Always Pair) initiates pairing with the dock. 2. The CU is now waiting for the user to press the function button on the device.
