Am1772™ Terminal User’s Manual AMD CONFIDENTIAL: for NDA Use Only 1 Document History Version/Date Modification V1.0: 10/15/02 Initial version V1.01: 10/23/02 Updates for RDK V1.02: 10/31/02 Non-technical edits V1.03: 11/13/02 Added EEPROM configuration option 2 Preface This document describes the Am1772™ Terminal user interface for the Mini PCI reference design featuring the Am1772 wireless LAN chipset from AMD. The Am1772 Terminal utility may contain or reveal AMD proprietary information and should not be distributed without the proper license agreement from AMD. 3 Overview The Am1772 Terminal is a Windows® application provided to development and test engineers to configure, execute and troubleshoot experiments with the Mini PCI reference design provided by AMD. Please note that the Am1772 Terminal application is not an end-customer utility. Version 1.03 Page 4 of 22
Am1772™ Terminal User’s Manual AMD CONFIDENTIAL: for NDA Use Only Version 1.03 Page 5 of 22 4 Using Am1772™ Terminal 4.1 Installing Am1772 Terminal The driver installation script automatically creates the following desktop shortcut for Am1772 Terminal on the desktop. This desktop shortcut points to the Am1772 Terminal executable, which resides in the Windows base directory (typically C:\WINDOWS or C:\WINNT). 4.2 Launching Am1772 Terminal Am1772 Terminal can be launched using the desktop shortcut, which was automatically created during driver installation. Alternatively, Am1772 Terminal can be started by manually navigating to the Windows base directory (typically C:\WINDOWS or C:\WINNT) and executing the application (Am1772 Terminal.exe) in that directory. Although not advisable, multiple instances of Am1772 Terminal can be run simultaneously. Care should be taken so that these multiple instances do not issue conflicting commands to the driver.
Am1772™ Terminal User’s Manual AMD CONFIDENTIAL: for NDA Use Only Version 1.03 Page 6 of 22 4.3 Version Information The Am1772 Terminal application version can be viewed using the “Info about...” dialog box. The “Info about...” dialog box can be accessed by clicking on the “About...” item in the application system menu (the icon in the top left corner of the application main window). Please note that the Am1772 Terminal version must match the driver version. If the version numbers do not match, Am1772 Terminal will display an error message and the application will not execute further.
Am1772™ Terminal User’s Manual AMD CONFIDENTIAL: for NDA Use Only Version 1.03 Page 7 of 22 4.4 “General” Page The “General” property page displays basic information about the various components of the AMD wireless solution, and it allows for selecting a network adapter to be used with the current Am1772 Terminal instance. This page can be displayed by clicking on the “General” tab in the upper region of the Am1772 Terminal main window. If Am1772 Terminal finds more than one AMD wireless network adapter installed, it allows for choosing one AMD wireless network adapter as the context for all other Am1772 Terminal pages and dialog boxes.
Am1772™ Terminal User’s Manual AMD CONFIDENTIAL: for NDA Use Only Version 1.03 Page 8 of 22 4.4.1 Hardware Information The “Hardware Info” dialog box displays version numbers of the various hardware components: This information can be used for troubleshooting and defect reporting. Please note that the information displayed in the dialog box depends on your actual hardware platform and may be different from the values shown in the figure above. This dialog box can be displayed by clicking on the “Hardware Info...” button on the “General” page.
Am1772™ Terminal User’s Manual AMD CONFIDENTIAL: for NDA Use Only Version 1.03 Page 9 of 22 Clicking on the “EEPROM” option brings up a “Configuration EEPROM” dialog box. The various fields on the page are populated if an EEPROM is present on the card. All the fields can be modified to affect the current configuration of the Am1772 chipset. The “Write” option writes the changes to EEPROM. The EEPROM configuration can also be saved (with the “Save” option) into a binary file. The “Load” option loads a configuration from an existing binary file. The “EEPROM size” has to be a number between 256 to 16384 bits. The “Regulatory Domain” indicates the region of operation of WLAN 802.11b system. The options include: • Canada (IC) • France • Japan (MKK) • Most of Europe (ETSI) • Spain • United States of America (FCC) • Unrestricted (test mode)
Am1772™ Terminal User’s Manual AMD CONFIDENTIAL: for NDA Use Only Version 1.03 Page 10 of 22 The last option “Unrestricted (test mode)” is to test the chipset’s operational capability in all the regulatory domains. The “Hardware Records” can be modified by selecting the appropriate identifier and subsequently depressing function key “F2” to edit the corresponding value. 4.4.2 Driver Build Information The “Detected Driver Software” dialog box displays version numbers of the installed network driver: This information can be used for troubleshooting and defect reporting. Please note that the information displayed in the dialog box depends on your actual driver version and may be different from the values shown in the figure above.
