Introduction
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
1.1 Scope
This document familiarizes customers with the Intel WiGig software (SW) solution components and
provides installation and configuration details.

Wireless Gigabit Antenna-M 10041R (Antenna).
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
consumption (watching a video, sharing a screen with others, gaming) rather than productivity or
content creation.

Introduction
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 the EPS document (Reference #3) in Table 1–1.

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 OSD (On Screen Display) 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 Launching the Intel® Wireless Dock Manager
The Intel® Wireless Dock Manager starts automatically with Windows.
®
To invoke the Intel
labeled Intel® Wireless Dock Manager.
Wireless Dock Manager interface, double-click the icon on the desktop,
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 Making 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 screen in Figure 3-2.

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. Enable WiGig on your client. WiGig comes disabled out-of-the-box to conserve battery life until
the first time WiGig is needed. When the Wireless Dock Manager is launched for the first time,
the Welcome screen appears.
Figure 3-3 Welcome screen
4. Choose Yes to enable WiGig. Shortly after, WiGig will start scanning for docks in your vicinity.
You will see a screen similar to Figure 3-4.

5. 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.
6. Press the connection button on your dock to confirm it, as indicated in Figure 3-5.

8. Press the activity button on the dock to complete the pairing process. The Connected screen
appears shortly after, as shown in Figure 3-7.
Figure 3-7 Dock Connected screen
Note: A successful connection is also indicated by the dock LED (if available), and the external
monitor and USB devices being connected and enumerated on your client (you will hear
the Window’s gling-gling hot-plug audio cues).
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 3-8.

WiGig Application User Manual for Win 7/8/8.1
Figure 3-8 Automatically Connect to this Dock
For docks you connect to regularly, select Yes. For public docks or ones you use rarely, select No.
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 3-9.
Figure 3-9 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 connecting 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 3-10.
Figure 3-10 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.
Intel® Wireless Gigabit v2.0
October 2015 User Guide
Document Number: 537178-3.3 Intel Confidential 17
WiGig Application User Manual for Win 7/8/8.1
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.
3.1.8 Disconnecting 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 screen
pictured in Figure 3-11 after disconnecting.

Figure 3-11 Dock disconnection screen
WiGig Application User Manual for Win 7/8/8.1
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 (rightclick 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 on
the main screen. Alternatively, you can right-click the tray icon and choose Disconnect from
<dock name>.

Intel® Wireless Gigabit v2.0
October 2015 User Guide
Document Number: 537178-3.3 Intel Confidential 19
WiGig Application User Manual for Win 7/8/8.1
3. Another method to manually disconnect is to press down 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 screen, as shown in Figure 3-13.
Figure 3-13 Ready to connect screen
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 and then return, or to do an Sx cycle (S0S3S0).
3.1.9 Disabling and enabling WiGig
1. To disable WiGig, click on the gear icon in the upper right of the main Wireless Dock Manager

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 Dock 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 ten seconds.
Software: This shows the version of the currently installed software. Clicking this item
will allow you to manually update your dock software, as described in Section Error!
Reference source not found.. 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 mandatory
dock software update.
2. On mandatory dock software updates, the Wireless Dock Manager will present the message
