Introduction Intel® Wireless Gigabit v2.6 User Guide May 2016 8 Intel Confidential Document Number: 537178-3.9 1 Introduction This chapter provides an overview of the Intel® Wireless Gigabit (WiGig) solution, which comprises the Intel® Tri-Band Wireless-AC17265 (Client), Intel® Tri-Band Wireless-AC18265 (Client), the Intel® Wireless Gigabit Sink W13100 (Dock), and the Intel® Wireless Gigabit Antenna-M 10041/2R (Antenna). 1.1 Scope This document familiarizes customers with the Intel® WiGig software (SW) solution components and provides installation and configuration details. 1.2 References Table 1–1 References Document name Description Ref 1 537180_Maple_Peak_External_Product_Specification_Rev.3.1 Maple Peak External Product Specifications (EPS) Ref 2 557654_Maple_Peak_WiGig_SNK_EPS_Rev1.0 Maple Peak WiGig SNK External Product Specifications (EPS) Ref 3 557232_WiGig_R-FEM_External_Product_Specification_Rev1.0 WiGig R-FEM External Product Specifications (EPS) Ref 4 553630_Intel_Wireless_Douglas_Peak_and_Pine_Peak_EPS_Rev1.0 Douglas Peak and Pine Peak External Product Specifications (EPS) Ref 5 545844_Intel_WiGig_Maple_Peak _API_SDK Rev3.0 WiGig SDK Package Ref 6 557869_Intel_Wireless_Tri-Band_18260_DgP_WiGig_W11000_PnP_PDG_Rev2.0 Douglas Peak and Pine Peak Platform Design Guidelines Ref 7 Intel_Wireless_Gigabit_DFC-DFB_Tool_User_Guide_Rev3.3 DFC and DFB Tools User Guide 1.3 Wireless docking The main use of Intel® WiGig at product launch is wireless docking in conjunction with the Maple Peak SNK. 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. 1.3.1 “Place to Dock, Snap to Go” experience Wireless 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. 1.3.2 Wireless Docking (WiDock) and Wireless Display (WiDi) WiDock 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
Introduction Intel® Wireless Gigabit v2.6 May 2016 User Guide Document Number: 537178-3.9 Intel Confidential 9 consumption (watching a video, sharing a screen with others, gaming) rather than productivity or content creation. Figure 1-1 WiDock use models 1.3.3 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 Intel WiGig 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. 1.4 Key features See Ref 4 (EPS document). 1.5 SW and HW deliverables See Ref 4 (EPS document). 1.6 Notebook platform preparations for WiDock  Operating system: – Microsoft Windows 7* 32/64, Microsoft Windows 8.1* U 64, Microsoft Windows 10* 1.7 Known limitations See Ref 4 (EPS document). §

WiGig Application User Manual for Windows 7*/8*/8.1* Intel® Wireless Gigabit v2.6 May 2016 User Guide Document Number: 537178-3.9 Intel Confidential 13 3 WiGig Application User Manual for Windows 7*/8*/8.1* 3.1 User manual The Intel® Wireless Dock Manager is a dedicated application that runs on the client and allows the user to find, connect to, and configure docks. LEDs on the dock, and an on-screen display (OSD) on the monitor connected to the dock, provide further feedback about the dock status, and assist the user in performing actions. The activity button on the dock is used in some of the flows (like pairing and connection/disconnection). 3.1.1 Launch the Intel® Wireless Dock Manager The Intel® Wireless Dock Manager starts automatically with Windows. To invoke the Intel® Wireless Dock Manager interface, double-click the icon on the desktop, labeled Intel® Wireless Dock Manager. Alternatively, double-click the WiGig tray icon , or right-click and choose View available docks. A dedicated tray icon can initiate the Intel® Wireless Dock Manager and indicate the relevant status as shown in Figure 3-1:  Connected: The NB is connected to a dock  Disconnected: The NB is not connected to a dock  Error: Error while connecting or weak connection (hover to see the error reason) Figure 3-1 Tray icon indications Note: The Intel® Wireless Dock Manager application keeps running from the system tray even if you click the X (close window) icon on the application. 3.1.2 Make the first connection 1. Turn on the power on your dock. When the dock is ready to accept connections, the external monitor will light up and show the welcome OSD message shown in Figure 3-2.
WiGig Application User Manual for Windows 7*/8*/8.1* Intel® Wireless Gigabit v2.6 User Guide May 2016 14 Intel Confidential Document Number: 537178-3.9 Figure 3-2 Welcome OSD message 2. This screen remains until the connection is made. After a few minutes of inactivity, the monitor turns off to conserve power. Press the dock activity button to wake up the monitor and continue with the connection. 3. WiGig will start scanning for docks in your vicinity. You will see a window similar to that shown in Figure 3-3. Figure 3-3 Dock select 4. Choose the dock you wish to connect to by clicking it. Note: Since this is the first time you are connecting to this dock, you will need to pair with it. Pairing creates a set of authentication keys that uniquely identify your client and dock pair, and allow them to communicate in a secured, encrypted manner over-the-air. 5. Press the connection button on your dock to confirm it, as indicated in Figure 3-4.

Congratulations! You have made your first wireless docking connection. 3.1.3 Automatic connection default While connecting to the dock for the first time, you will see the message to set the dock to be automatically connected or not, as shown in Figure 3-7. Figure 3-7 Automatically Connect to this Dock message For docks you connect to regularly, select Yes. For public docks or ones you use rarely, select No.
WiGig Application User Manual for Windows 7*/8*/8.1* Intel® Wireless Gigabit v2.6 May 2016 User Guide Document Number: 537178-3.9 Intel Confidential 17 3.1.4 Automatic connections If a dock is set to connect automatically, WiGig will attempt to automatically connect to this dock once in range. To this end, WiGig keeps scanning in the background, while consuming very little power. To connect, simply place your client (assumed to be in S0) near the dock. Within several seconds, WiGig will discover the dock and will connect to it automatically. You do not have to invoke the Wireless Dock Manager, open the lid or take any action, just wait until the external screen comes up and USB devices are enumerated, and you can start working. When successfully connected to a dock, the dock LED changes color (color is specific to dock vendor). Note: For the connection to be fully completed automatically, as described above, the client needs to be powered on and active (such as in S0). If the client is in S3, WiGig will automatically discover the dock, and then you can use the dock button to wake up the client and complete the docking procedure. See Section 3.1.6 for more details. Ability to wake up the client from the dock is vendor specific and is configured in the BIOS. You can disable auto-connect by changing the toggle on the main Wireless Dock Manager screen while connected, as shown in Figure 3-8. Figure 3-8 Disabling the auto-connect setting You can only change a dock between automatic and manual connection when you are actively connected to the dock. Once auto-connect is disabled, the client will no longer connect automatically and you will have to manually select the dock from the client, as described in Section 3.1.5. 3.1.5 Manually connect to a dock To manually connect to a dock, choose the dock from the list of docks by clicking on it, as shown in Figure 3-9.
WiGig Application User Manual for Windows 7*/8*/8.1* Intel® Wireless Gigabit v2.6 User Guide May 2016 18 Intel Confidential Document Number: 537178-3.9 Figure 3-9 Manual dock connection Docks that you have already paired with in the past will appear with a dark background color. Docks that you have never paired with will appear with a light background color. The list is being refreshed automatically, as WiGig keeps scanning in the background. Another method to connect to a dock is via the tray icon. If there is only a single paired dock in range (that is, a dock you have already paired with in the past), you can right-click the tray icon and choose Connect to <dock name>. Right-clicking when there is more than one paired dock in range, or no paired docks, will give you the option to open the Wireless Dock Manager (View available docks), where you can choose your desired dock from the list. When successfully connected to a dock, the dock LED changes color (color is specific to dock vendor). 3.1.6 Automatic connection in S3 (depends on BIOS configuration) When getting in range with a paired dock that is set to auto-connect, and the client is sleeping (S3), the WiGig radio will discover the dock and establish a low power link to it, known as low-power connected. This mode may be indicated by the LED changing color. While in this mode, the system is kept in its low power state (S3), and WiGig will wait for an indication from the dock side to wake up the system and complete the connection procedure. This can be achieved by pressing the activity button on the dock. When the button is pressed, the client is moved to S0, and the connection completes automatically. Once fully connected, the dock LED may change color. 3.1.7 Automatic connection in connected standby When getting in range with a paired dock that is set to auto-connect, and the client is connected standby low-power mode, the WiGig radio will automatically connect to the dock. The devices connected to the dock will be connected and enumerated on the client, however the external monitor will not come up and the system will remain in connected standby. To take the system out of connected standby, and light up the screen, press the activity button on the dock, or alternatively click the mouse or press the keyboard.
WiGig Application User Manual for Windows 7*/8*/8.1* Intel® Wireless Gigabit v2.6 May 2016 User Guide Document Number: 537178-3.9 Intel Confidential 19 3.1.8 Disconnect from the dock There are several methods in which you can disconnect an active connection: 1. First, you can simply take your client and walk out of range from the dock. WiGig will eventually lose the link, and the dock will be disconnected. Once disconnected, WiGig automatically starts scanning again to discover auto-connect docks in range. This method is also known as auto-disconnect. In this case, the OSD will display the message pictured in Figure 3-10 after disconnecting. Figure 3-10 Dock disconnection mesage Note: Disconnecting by getting out of range (auto-disconnect) is experienced by the system as a USB surprise-removal event. While Windows has become better and better over the years with handling surprise removals, there is still always a chance of data loss/corruption when surprise-removing USB Mass Storage devices connected to the dock (other devices, such as HID, USB LAN, USB audio, etc., do not suffer). If this is a concern, for example, if you have a Mass Storage device connected to your dock, and you have just recently finished accessing this device, it may be advisable to safely remove this USB device (right-click on the USB icon in the system tray), or to disconnect WiGig manually, as described below. In any case, it is advised to act in a similar manner to undocking from a wired dock, as the same issues are present there as well. 2. To manually disconnect, invoke the Wireless Dock Manager and click the Disconnect button in the main window. Alternatively, you can right-click the system tray icon and choose Disconnect from <dock name>.
WiGig Application User Manual for Windows 7*/8*/8.1* Intel® Wireless Gigabit v2.6 User Guide May 2016 20 Intel Confidential Document Number: 537178-3.9 Figure 3-11 Manual disconnect option 3. Another method for manually disconnecting is to press and hold the activity button on the dock for more than four seconds. This method is especially useful for closed-lid operations, or if you are trying to manually disconnect a system where you cannot access the Wireless Dock Manager (like when the system is locked and you do not know the password). Once disconnected, the dock LED changes color (color is specific to dock vendor), and the OSD shows the Ready to Connect message, as shown in Figure 3-12. Figure 3-12 Ready to connect message Note: Manually disconnecting from a dock that is set to connect automatically will temporarily disable auto-connect to this dock. This is to prevent the connection from being recovered immediately. To re-enable automatic connections to this dock, the client needs to get out of range (for about 13 seconds) and then return.

This will open up the Dock Management dialog box, as shown in Figure 3-18. Figure 3-19 Dock management dialog box 3. In the Dock Management dialog box, you can configure the following settings: – Information  Name: This field determines how will the dock be called and presented in the scan list in the Wireless Dock Manager. This field accepts only Latin letters, digits, and a few special characters such as space and underscore. Note: The factory setting for dock name is a prefix, Doc, and an automatic suffix of the last four nibbles of the MAC address of the dock. This helps users to distinguish between similar docks whose names have not been customized. Once the user changes the dock name, the last four nibbles of the MAC address are no longer appended to it. To re-enable this behavior, the dock must be reset to the factory defaults by pressing the recovery button on the dock for 10 seconds.

Clicking this item will allow you to manually update your dock software, as described in Section 3.3.1. Also, when an update is available for your dock, it will show up next to the version number. Click the Update Available link to start the software update procedure. – Dock Access Settings  Individual: Allows automatic connections. This setting enables the auto-connect toggle on connected clients, as described in Section 3.1.3. This is the only setting with which the dock can be automatically connected to, and is particularly suitable for private docks for individuals.  Shared: Requires manual confirmation. This setting forces manual connections by disabling the auto-connect toggle on connected clients. This setting is particularly suitable for shared docks in multi-users environments, where it may be undesirable to allow automatic connection to prevent users from inadvertently connecting to the dock while in range (remember that a dock that is currently connected to a user cannot accept other user’s connections, and will not be seen in their scan list).  Public: Requires pairing for all connections. This settings forces the user to pair on every connection (such as. pairing data is lost upon disconnect). This is the most secure setting, and is mostly suitable for docks where the convenience of connection is less of a concern, for example in airports, cafes or hotels. – Signal Preferences  Preferred Radio Channel: Allows you to assign a specific operating channel, or enable automatic selection by the dock. It is recommended to leave this as Auto, as this will allow the dock to select the best channel to operate in, based on interference and other factors. – Password  Enable this to assign a password for protecting the dock setting page, preventing unauthorized access. 3.3 Dock software update Your dock software can be upgraded over the air, from the client. 3.3.1 Update during connection 1. When connecting to the dock, the Wireless Dock Manager might inform the user of a mandatory dock software update. 2.

In Windows 10*, the OS controls the network-related functionality. This includes handling the radio state, scanning, connecting, and managing the profiles. The OS controls this via the setting and the action center pane, as described below. The Intel® Wireless Dock Manager is a dedicated application that runs on the client and allows the user to do all the activities that are not related to network management, like manage the dock, get diagnostic info, do FWU, etc. LEDs on the dock, and an on-screen display (OSD) on the monitor connected to the dock, provide further feedback about the dock status, and assist the user in performing actions. The activity button on the dock is used in some of the flows (like pairing and connecting/disconnecting). 4.1.1 Launch the Intel® Wireless Dock Manager The Intel® Wireless Dock Manager starts automatically with Windows. To invoke the Intel® Wireless Dock Manager interface, double-click the icon on the desktop, labeled “Intel® Wireless Dock Manager”. Alternatively, double-click the WiGig tray icon while the device is connected to a dock (the connected icon as shown in Figure 3-1 ). The Intel® Wireless Dock Manager application keeps running as an application even if you click the X (close window) icon on the application. To stop it, you must use the Windows Task Manager. 4.1.2 Make the first connection 1. Turn on the power to your dock. When the dock is ready to accept connections, the external monitor lights up and shows the Welcome OSD message, as shown in Figure 4-1.

You have made your first wireless docking connection. 4.1.3 Automatic connection default This section is not applicable to Win10* as in Win7*/8*/8.1*. In Windows 10*, the dock is in automatically connect mode. 4.1.4 Automatic connections If a dock is set to connect automatically, WiGig attempts to automatically connect to the dock once in range. To this end, WiGig keeps scanning in the background, while consuming very little power. To connect, simply place your client (assumed to be in S0) near the dock. Within several seconds, WiGig will discover the dock and connect to it automatically. You do not have to invoke the Wireless Dock Manager, open the lid or take any action; just wait until the external screen comes up and USB devices are enumerated, and you can start working. When successfully connected to a dock, the dock LED changes color (specific to the dock vendor). Note: For the connection to be fully completed automatically, as described above, the client needs to be powered on and active (such as in S0). If the client is in S3, WiGig will automatically discover the dock, and then you can use the dock button to wake up the client and complete the docking procedure. See Section 3.1.6 for more details. Ability to wake up the client from the dock is vendor specific and is configured in the BIOS.

The Wireless Dock and Multiple Displays Intel® Wireless Gigabit v2.6 User Guide May 2016 50 Intel Confidential Document Number: 537178-3.9 5 The Wireless Dock and Multiple Displays 5.1 Intel® WiGig A/V wireless capabilities Intel® WiGig is seen by the Intel® Display Driver as a DP V1.2 Branch device. It advertises its capabilities to the driver using standard DisplayPort V1.2a tools. The capabilities include A/V bandwidth, as well as other capabilities related to the internal A/V subsystem. Intel® WiGig HW can support up to two A/V streams. This limitation is advertised to the Intel DisplayPort Driver, which then limits the number of active streams sent over the Intel® WiGig DP interface. When the user connects three displays to the MST hub at the output of the Intel® WiGig-based dock, only two out of the three displays connected can be active at the same time. 5.1.1 Intel® WiGig DisplayPort Bandwidth and other limitations The DisplayPort V1.2a standard defines mechanisms that allow branch devices to advertise their capabilities and limitations to the Display Driver. There are two main limitations which may affect the user experience: 1. DisplayPort Bandwidth (AKA PBN): Intel® WiGig DP interface operates at 4 × 2.7 gbps speed. This results in an ability to support single display resolutions of up to 2560×1600@60 Hz or Dual Display Resolutions of 1920×1200@60 Hz. For example, if the user connects 2 1600p60 capable displays to the dock, it cannot drive the native resolution to both displays due to the DP BW limitation. The Display Driver will remove some of the video modes from one of the displays while allowing native resolution to the 2nd display. 2. Wireless Branch Device Limitations (AKA CCS): Intel® WiGig DP interface advertises Wireless Branch Device limitations related to the capabilities of the integrated video Encoders and Decoders. Currently the advertised limitations are as follows: a. Frame Width <= 2560 b. Frame Height <= 1600 c. Max Frame Rate = 60 Hz d. Min Frame Rate = 59 Hz e. Max Pixel Clock = 268 MHz f. RGB: Only color space modes supported g. Progressive only modes supported All display modes not meeting the criteria above will be removed by the display driver and not shown by the Resolution Manager. 5.2 User experience when connecting more than two displays to the wireless dock The driver initially selects two default displays. These will be the displays connected to the output ports #1 and #2 of the MST hub device. The display connected to port #3 will not be used and will not appear in the Windows Screen Resolution control panel.
The Wireless Dock and Multiple Displays Intel® Wireless Gigabit v2.6 May 2016 User Guide Document Number: 537178-3.9 Intel Confidential 51 The Intel® Display Driver generates a pop-up window, stating “DisplayPort Topology Notification. A new DisplayPort Topology has been identified”. Click the window to open the Intel® HD Graphics control panel’s DisplayPort Topology Viewer (see Figure 5-1). The user is requested to select the two displays to be activated for the Intel® WiGig selected port. Selected displays are marked in light blue. Figure 5-1 DisplayPort topology viewer Once the user selects the active displays, the display driver will re-initiate the A/V link setup process and activate the selected displays. Only the selected displays will be seen in the Windows Screen Resolution control panel. The unselected display will not be shown (see Figure 5-2). The user can select the operating mode (duplicate/extend), and activate and deactivate the screens using the Screen Resolution control panel.
