Introduction 1 Introduction This chapter provides an overview of the Maple Peak WiGig solution. 1.1 Scope This document familiarizes customers with the Maple Peak hardware (HW) and software (SW) components and provides installation and configuration details. 1.2 References Reference Document Revision 1 Maple Peak OEM Tool User Guide 2 WiGig Release Notes 3 Maple Peak External Product Specification 4 Maple Peak DFB User Guide 1.3 Introduction The main use of Maple Peak at product launch is wireless docking in conjunction with the Maple Peak SNK. 1.3.1 Wireless docking Wireless Docking generally occurs when the user is working 2-4 feet from the display(s). The user experiences the same kind of responsiveness as operating a workstation/desktop. “Place to Dock, Snap to Go” experience 1.3.1.1Wireless docking is designed to minimize user actions. After the initial WPS based pairing, the typical user is able to “auto-dock,” meaning the device automatically connects to the dock and peripheral when in range of the dock. In other words, by the time the device is on the desk, it is already docked. Undocking is as simple, allowing the user to grab the device and walk away. Wireless Docking (WiDock) and Wireless Display (WiDi) 1.3.1.2WiDock differs from other models, such as Miracast* or Intel® Wireless Display, in which the user is further from the screen (such as on the couch or in a conference room), and is focused on content consumption (watching a video, sharing a screen with others, gaming) rather than productivity or content creation.

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. 1.3.3 Multi Gbps Device-to-Device The Device-to-Device feature allows two peer devices (two PCs, two tablets, a PC and a tablet, etc.) to establish a fat IP pipe (> Gbps) to enable all other D2D capabilities. 1.4 Key features See the Maple Peak Release Notes. 1.5 SW and HW deliverables See the EPS document (Reference #3). 1.6 Notebook platform preparations for WiDock • Operating system: − Microsoft* Windows* 7 32/64, Microsoft Windows 8.1U 64 • SW Pre-requisites for OEM tools (unnecessary with an operational stack): − VC++ 2010 Redistributable Package 1.7 Known limitations See the Maple Peak Release Notes. § July 2014 Intel® Maple Peak Document Number: 537178-2.1 User Guide Intel Confidential 7

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. • Operational mode – real WiGig pairing, with WDE and WSE PALs. 2.1 Operational mode 2.1.1 IF setup description (dock installer only) Figure 2-1 IF setup Table 2-1 IF setup description Description Table-top IF-to-IF (coaxial based) non-over-the-air reference-design setup for client side Maple Peak HW M.2 ES'; RFEM ES' Capabilities WSE; WDE Wired / OTA Wired (coaxial cable)* Intel® Maple Peak July 2014 User Guide Document Number: 537178-2.1 8 Intel Confidential

$Software Install 3 Software Install 3.1 NB side installation 1. Go to G Layout\Win7Plus\ and run Setup.exe. Setup.exe installs the relevant installer for either a 32-bit platform or a 64-bit platform. 2. Check I have reviewed and agree to the EULA and click Install. This will install the operational WiGig software for the NB. 3. When the application is successfully installed check the Do you want to launch CU? option. Select Finish. You will be able to run the CU application from the desktop shortcut later if you do not check this option. July 2014 Intel® Maple Peak Document Number: 537178-2.1 User Guide Intel Confidential 11$

$Software Install Note: During the first installation the device driver is installed and the following “Windows Security” pop-up may appear: 4. Choose Install this driver software anyway to continue the installation. Note: To avoid this window, run the certificate file (iCert.spc) from the Certificates layout. • Run setup.exe –q from a command line to run the installer in silent mode. Note: The above installation is only for RF setup. See the following section (Dock Side Installation) and choose NoteBook to run an IF setup. 3.2 Dock side installation 3.2.1 Overview The operational dock works without a host (hostless) and boots its FW from an inner flash memory. When working with the OEM tool a host must be connected. The flash should be burned to the updated version in one of two ways: 1. Over PCIe – A “local” setup, in which the dock is not assembled and is attached to a PCIe cable. The Dock Flash Burning (DFB) tool is used for flashing. 2. Over The Air (OTA) – A “remote” setup, in which the dock is connected to a client that can send the dock FW upgrade content OTA using the CU application. Note: Beta 1.0 did not support OTA FW upgrade. When upgrading from this version you must first burn the flash using the DFB tool using the following steps: 1. Connect a host PC to the dock over PCIe and install the dock driver. 2. Use the DFB tool to burn the FW. 3. Disconnect the PCIe from the dock; work hostless. When the FW version is higher than Beta 1.0, it can be upgraded OTA (see Section 4.8 for instructions) and no dock host installation is required. 3.2.2 Dock host installation over PCIe This installer sets up your Maple Peak in a few simple steps. Navigation between steps is possible using the Back and Next buttons. Select Cancel to close the installer. 1. Uninstall previous dock drivers. 2. Go to OEM Layout\WiGigInstaller\ and run the WiGigInstaller.exe application. Intel® Maple Peak July 2014 User Guide Document Number: 537178-2.1 12 Intel Confidential$

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. Select Operation Mode There are two operation modes: • Test mode: no broadcasting takes place. Primarily used for characterization by the OEM Tool. • Operational mode: the Maple Peak card is fully active in either one of the types in the next step. Note: A hostless dock is always in operational mode, no matter what was selected in the installation. 5. Choose Test Mode. Select Setup Type The Maple Peak card can be used for either notebook or dock: • Notebook: the notebook transmits data to the dock. Dock: the dock receives and displays data from the notebook. July 2014 Intel® Maple Peak Document Number: 537178-2.1 User Guide Intel Confidential 13

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. Intel® Maple Peak July 2014 User Guide Document Number: 537178-2.1 14 Intel Confidential

$Software Install Select Stacks 8. Select stacks to install: • Operational stack – Select • Debug stack – Select • NDIS driver – Don't Select 9. Click Install. The installer installs and configures the card based on user specifications. This process takes up to two minutes; a verification popup appears when successfully completed. Note: If you want to change any selection in the installation, such as hardware type or setup type, you will need to uninstall the SW package (Windows->Control Panel->Uninstall a program) and install the application again. 3.2.3 Burning the flash using DFB tool The DFB tool can be found at C:/Program Files/Intel/WiGig/DFB/WiGigDockFlashBurner.exe. Run the DFB application on the host to burn the dock Flash with the relevant FW version. Run the application from the command line with the relevant parameters: • For factory slot: WiGigDockFlashBurner.exe --factory --package "C:\Program Files\Intel\WiGig\Drivers\Dock_Image_Production.pack" • For current slot: WiGigDockFlashBurner.exe --package "C:\Program Files\Intel\WiGig\Drivers\Dock_Image_Production.pack" Note: Burn both the factory slot and the current slot. • See DFB document (Reference #4) for detailed instructions on how to use the DFB tool. § July 2014 Intel® Maple Peak Document Number: 537178-2.1 User Guide Intel Confidential 15$

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). Note: The CU application keeps running from the system tray even if you click the X (close window) icon on the application. Double-click the CU icon in the system tray to open the CU again. Note: The current WiGig CU is not the final version and will be changed in later releases. 4.1 Turn WiGig on 1. Click the grey OFF button to toggle the WiGig on once the CU application is running. 2. The CU scans for available docks and shows a list of docks with the following four statuses: a. In range – paired: docks that are in range of the NB (for example in the room or cubicle) and are already paired. b. In range – not paired: docks that are in range of the NB but did not pair with it. c. Incompatible: docks that are incompatible (incompatible FW version or non-interoperable dock) and cannot be paired with this NB. d. Out of range – paired: docks that were paired before but are currently not in range. Intel® Maple Peak July 2014 User Guide Document Number: 537178-2.1 16 Intel Confidential

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.
