User Manual Version 2.0.0 1 Introduction The software provided for the RS9113 n-Link® modules is named OneBox-Mobile. The software currently supports performance testing for Wi-Fi The subsequent sections explain the use of OneBox-Mobile software on an x86 platform. Installation and operation of the driver on specific representative processor platforms have been explained in the Appendix sections. 1.1 Getting Started 1. Login to user “test” with password “test123” 2. Open a Terminal 3.
User Manual Version 2.0.0 6. Please type “dmesg” on the terminal and press enter key and check for the below print 7. Please go to directory /work/Regulatory_test/host/releases 8. Please read section 2 for performing WLAN Test Redpine Signals, Inc.
User Manual Version 2.0.0 2 WLAN Performance Test Application Usage The OneBox-Mobile software provides applications to test Transmit and Receive performance of the module. The Band of operation of the module needs to be configured before performing any tests. NOTE: Open the common_insert.sh file present in the “release” folder using an editor like vim.

User Manual Version 2.0.0 1 – Enable Greenfield transmission Table 2: Rate Flags for Transmit Tests : Enable/Disable Aggregation. Enter 0 to disable aggregation and 1 to enable aggregation. The packet length is divided into chunks of size 1792 bytes and aggregated. This parameter applies only to the Burst mode transmission and is ignored in the case of Continuous mode of transmission. : Number of packets to be transmitted in Burst mode.
User Manual Version 2.0.0 Rate flags – 0 Aggregation – disabled (ignored in continuous mode) Number of packets to be transmitted – 0(ignored in continuous mode) Delay between the packets – 0(ignored in continuous mode) Regulatory Domain is set to – US Domain # ./transmit 12 36 1000 0 6 0 0 0 0 1000 0 0 The above command starts burst mode transmission with the following configuration: Transmit gain – 12dBm Data rate – 36Mbps Packet Length – 1000 bytes Transmit mode – 0 (Burst mode).
User Manual Version 2.0.0 : Parameter to start or stop logging the statistics. Enter 0 to start logging and 1 to stop logging. : Operating bandwidth of the channel. 2.2.3 Examples # ./receive stats 6 0 0 The above command starts the receive utility and logs statistics with the following parameters. Filename – stats Channel number – 6 Channel Width – 20MHz The test utility displays the following information: • • Total number of packets received with correct CRC.
User Manual Version 2.0.0 3 Instructions for integration of the host module The user has to follow the final design are as per the Redpine recommendation. Below are the points to follow 3.1 Trace layout and dimensions: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) Trace Trace Width :: 15.1 mil Trace Length :: 403 mil Trace to Copper gap :: 23.6 mil Trace Impedance :: 50 ohm Used an inductor and capacitor to match 50 ohm. Below image shows the front end circuit 3.
