Introduction |
|
The main use of Maple Peak 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.
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.
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) rather than productivity or content creation.

Introduction
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.
1.3.3Multi 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.
See the Maple Peak Release Notes.
See the EPS document (Reference #3).
•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
See the Maple Peak Release Notes.

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.

Maple Peak Setup
Figure 2 descriptions:
Two PCs (one per WiGig kit) are connected using a hub on the Ethernet NIC and can communicate over a WiGig link.
The OEM tool application is installed on the left PC, and a small agent is installed the right PC (details of how to install these can be found in the OEM Tool User Guide).
Note: A Test Mode setup should be installed to work in this configuration (see Section 3).

Software Install
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.
