These are contained within three CAB files, which need to be installed on iPAQ Pocket PC, namely: DWiUART.ppc30_arm.CAB DWiVDD.ppc30_arm.CAB MSMQ.ppc30_arm.CAB DWiUART.ppc30_arm.CAB This CAB file contains the low level drivers that instantly create a serial communications port to the Dualwave-I modem upon every iPAQ insertion into the modem sleeve. These drivers must be installed to enable access to the Dualwave-I modem for any application software. This CAB file also contains a basic programmers interface for third party application developers who should refer to document “DWI Modem Device Driver” (DWI10006WTxx) for further information. DWiVDD.ppc30_arm.CAB This CAB file contains the Dualwave-I Virtual Device Driver, Port Server and Modem Info application. Modem Info is a graphical user interface modem diagnostic and information tool to enable you to: Check the network connection status and modem parameters Check the modem hardware and battery status Set the various operating modes of the modem Register third party applications for invocation on specific modem events Modem Info is supplied in both executable and source code form as an example for iPAQ application developers to communicate with the Dualwave-I modem. DWI10012WT31 13 Wavenet Technology Care & Maintenance __________________________________________________ Dualwave-I Modem User Manual The Virtual Device Driver (VDD) and Port Server are essentially “middleware” software which provides a layer of abstraction to application developers so that communications with the modem can be significantly simplified. They remove the requirement to fully understand the Native Communication Language (NCL) syntax to communicate with the modem. In addition, the VDD and Port Server allows multiple applications (or “sessions”) on the iPAQ Pocket PC to simultaneously interface with different network host servers, such as an email client, web browser, dispatch application or Modem Info itself. Messages are routed to the appropriate application via the Microsoft Message Queue facility. Third party application developers should refer to document “DWI Modem Virtual Device Driver and Application Interface” (DWI10010WTxx) for further information. If multi-session capability is not required, the VDD and Port Server CAB file does not need to be installed, however, Modem Info requires this middleware software in order to operate. MSMQ.ppc30_arm.CAB The Microsoft Message Queue (MSMQ) allows multiple applications (or sessions) to simultaneously utilise the single Dualwave-I modem in which an iPAQ is inserted. It is the mechanism by which information is routed between the appropriate application on the iPAQ Pocket PC and the network host server. Installing the Modem Software To install the CAB files onto your iPAQ, ensure that the iPAQ desktop software has been installed on your computer first and then use the following procedure. Note: Do NOT connect the modem to your iPAQ whilst installing the CAB files. 1.

DWI10012WT31 33 Wavenet Technology Care & Maintenance __________________________________________________ Dualwave-I Modem User Manual Check the Power/On-Line indicator. It should fully illuminate when connected with the network. Also check the RSSI signal level in the ModemInfo application. It should be greater than –110dBm. I’m having difficulty sending and receiving messages. The Online indicator fluctuates between on and flashing. Fluctuation in signal strength can happen in fringe areas on densely populated areas with tall building. When operating in an area of low signal strength, the modem may go on and off line as the signal fluctuates above and below the minimum user level. Check that you are in an area that provides coverage. Your network provider should have the details. The modem may also temporarily go off line and back on as it roams from one frequency to another in order to obtain improved coverage per normal network operation. What can I do to get back in range? The wireless signal needs a clear path; avoid congested or metal buildings or tunnels. Tree leaves and windows may also affect the signal strength, as can environmental conditions, for example heavy rain. Try moving away from buildings and hold the device away from your body. The status shows that I’m in range, but I’m still having difficulty sending and receiving messages. Check the battery level as low battery levels can affect the connection. Select the Modem Info application from your iPAQ’s main screen to display the Modem Info screen. Check the battery indicator and compare it with the examples below. Battery Indicator Low battery Charged battery If the battery indicator shows that the battery capacity is low, charge the battery as described on page 21. Wavenet Technology 34 DWI10012WT31 Dualwave-I Modem User Manual __________________________________________________ Care & Maintenance How do I locate the LLI and serial numbers assigned to my modem? The LLI and serial numbers are located in three places: On the package On the label on the back of the modem From the Modem Versions tab in the Modem Info application. How do I check the modem settings? The Modem Info application provides information about your modem and the active settings. Select the Setup tab from Modem Info. I can’t get the modem to charge. Confirm that iPAQ is fully inserted into the modem, the pair are fully inserted into the iPAQ cradle and the battery charger power cable is properly connected to the cradle. Confirm that your battery charger is plugged into an AC outlet and that the AC outlet has power. How can I extend battery life? You can extend battery life by: Turning off the modem when you are not using it. Selecting the Maximum Power Save option from the Modem Info Setup tab if your network operator supports this feature. Does a weak RF signal affect battery life? The battery usage estimates assume that the modem is switched on between eight to ten hours a day and you are located in a good RF area. The life of the battery charge may be considerably less if you are operating your modem in a weak RF area. Can I still receive messages when the iPAQ and modem is charging? Yes, messages can be sent and received when the iPAQ and modem batteries are charging. DWI10012WT31 35 Wavenet Technology Care & Maintenance __________________________________________________ Dualwave-I Modem User Manual What happens if I don’t disconnect the battery charger after the battery is fully charged? When the batteries are fully charged, the battery charger stops charging until the batteries’ capacity falls below a certain value. The battery charger will then automatically start recharging the batteries again. Technical Support If after reviewing all the sources listed you cannot solve your problem, please contact your supplier. Wavenet Technology 36 DWI10012WT31 Dualwave-I Modem User Manual __________________________________________________ Care & Maintenance Care & Maintenance Your modem does not require regular maintenance. However, periodically clean off the dirt and dust that may adhere to the exterior casing. Use the following procedure: 1. Disconnect the battery charger and cables from the modem. 2. Dampen a clean, soft cloth with water and wring the cloth well. 3. Use the well wrung cloth to gently remove dirt and dust. Do not dampen the connectors or ports. Immediately remove any moisture that contacts these components by wiping them with a dry cloth. Optionally clean the iPAQ connector by using a pencil eraser. Do not use a sodden cloth or apply a liquid to any portion of the modem or battery charger. Never use substances containing alcohol, thinners or benzene on the equipment. Use of these substances may deform, discolour or dissolve the casing. The modem’s lithium-ion battery life will be shortened if used in extreme temperatures. Do not use the modem outside its extreme temperature limits Do not leave the modem switched on in direct sunlight inside automobiles as the case temperature can easily exceed specification limits.
