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 occ urs 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 1.3.1.1
Wireless dockin g is d esigned to minimize user actions. After the initial WPS based pairing, the typical
user is able to “au to-dock,” meaning the device automatically connects to the dock and periphe r al
when in range of the dock. I n oth er w or ds , 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) 1.3.1.2
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
consumption (watching a video, sharing a screen with others, gaming) ra ther than produc tivity or
content creation.

Introduction
1.3.2 Wireless peripheral
The wireless peripheral feature allows a device to int eract with high-speed USB peripherals over
WiGig. For example, a directly atta c hed storage device equipped with Maple Peak SNK would allow a
high-speed USB 3.0 connection with a Maple Pea k equipped tablet or notebook.
When connecting, many of the wireless docking capabilities would be applicable ( excluding of course
the display capabilities), allow ing USB 3.0 like th r oughputs (>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.

3.2 Dock side installation
3.2.1 Overview
The operational d oc k works without a host (hostless) and boots its F W from an inner flash memory.
When working with the OEM tool a host must be connec ted . The flash should be burned to the
updated version in one of two ways :
1. Over PCIe – A “loc a l” setup, in which the dock is not assem ble d 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 wh ic h the dock is connected to a c lient that can send
the dock FW upgr a de c ontent OTA using the CU application.
Note:Beta 1.0 did not support OTA FW upgrade. When upgrading f r om this version you m ust
first burn the flash using the DFB tool using the following steps:
1. Connect a host PC to the d oc k over PCIe and install the dock driver.
2. Use the DFB tool to burn the FW.
3. Disc onnect the PCI e from the dock; work hostless.
When the FW version is higher than Beta 1.0, it can be upgraded O T A (see Section
instructions) a nd no dock host insta llation is require d .

Regulatory Information
This section provides regulatory information for the following wireless adapters:
Intel® Wireless Gigabit Sink W13100
NOTE: Due to the evolving state of regulations and standards in the wireless LAN field
(IEEE 802.11 and similar standards), the information provided herein is subject to change.
Intel Corporation assumes no responsibility for errors or omissions in this document.
INFORMATION FOR THE USER
Safety Notices
USA FCC Radio Frequency Exposure
The FCC with its action in ET Docket 96-8 has adopted a safety standard for human
exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC certified
equipment. The wireless adapter meets the Human Exposure limits found in OET Bulletin
65, supplement C, 2001, and ANSI/IEEE C95.1, 1992. Proper operation of this radio
according to the instructions found in this manual will result in exposure substantially below
the FCC’s recommended limits.
The following safety precautions should be observed:
Do not touch or move antenna while the unit is transmitting or receiving.
Do not hold any component containing the radio such that the antenna is very close
or touching any exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while
transmitting.
Do not operate the radio or attempt to transmit data unless the antenna is
connected; this behavior may cause damage to the radio.
Use in specific environments:
The use of wireless adapters in hazardous locations is limited by the
constraints posed by the safety directors of such environments.
The use of electronic devices equipped with wireless adapters on airplanes is
governed by rules for each commercial airline operator.
The use of wireless adapters in hospitals is restricted to the limits set forth by
each hospital.

co-existants des systèmes de transmission satellites. Les radars de puissances ont fait
l'objet d'une allocation primaire de fréquences dans les bandes 5.25-5.35 GHz et 5.65-5.85
GHz. Ces stations radar peuvent créer des interférences avec ce produit et/ou lui être
nuisible. Le gain d'antenne maximum permissible pour une utilisation avec ce produit est de
6 dBi afin d'être conforme aux limites de puissance isotropique rayonnée équivalente
(P.I.R.E.) applicable dans les bandes 5.25-5.35 GHz et 5.725-5.85 GHz en fonctionnement
point-à-point. Pour se conformer aux conditions d'exposition de RF toutes les antennes
devraient être localisées à une distance minimum de 20 cm, ou la distance de séparation
minimum permise par l'approbation du module, du corps de toutes les personnes.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an
antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry
Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain
should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more
than that necessary for successful communication.
Selon les règlements de Canada d'Industrie, cet émetteur de radio peut seulement
fonctionner en utilisant une antenne du type et de gain maximum (ou moindre) que le gain
approuvé pour l'émetteur par Canada d'Industrie. Pour réduire lesinterférences radio
