1.3 Wireless docking
The main use of Intel® WiGig at product launch is wireless dock ing 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, Sna p to Go” experience
Wireless dockin g is d esigned to minimiz e user actions. After the initial WPS-based pairing, the typical
user is able to auto-dock, meaning the device automatically connects to the dock a nd peripheral when
in range of the dock. In other w or ds , by the time the device is on the desk, it is a lrea dy docked.
Undocking is as simple, allowing the user to grab the device an d w a lk away.
1.3.2 Wireless Docking (WiDock) and Wireless Display (WiDi)
WiDock differs from other models, su ch as Miracast* or Intel® Wireless Display, in which the u ser is
further from the screen (such as on the couch or in a conference room), and is focused on content
Intel® Wireless Gigabit v2.6

8 Intel Confide n tial Document Number: 537178-3.9
consumption (watching a video, sharing a screen with oth er s, gaming) rather than productivity or
content creation.
Figure 1-1 WiDock use models
Introduction
1.3.3 Wireless peripheral
The wireless periphera l feature allows a d evice to interact with high-speed USB peripherals over
WiGig. For example, a directly atta c hed storage device equipped w ith Maple Peak SNK would allow a
high-speed USB 3.0 connection with Intel WiGig equipp ed ta blet or notebook.
When connecting, man y of the w ir eless doc king capabilities would be applic a ble (excluding of cour s e
the display capabilities), allowing USB 3.0 like throughputs (> 1 Gbps) for on-desk distances.

3.1 User manual
The Intel® Wireless Dock Manager is a dedicated applicat ion that runs on the client and allows the
user to find, connect to, and configure docks.
LEDs on the dock, and an on-screen display (OSD) on the monitor conn ected to the dock, provide
further feedback about the dock status, and assist the user in performing actions.
The activity bu tton on the dock is use d in some of the flows (like pairing and
connection/disconnection).
3.1.1 Launch the Intel® Wireless Dock Manager
The Intel® Wireless Dock Manager starts automatically with W indows.
®
To invoke the Intel
labeled Intel
Alternatively , double-click the WiGig tray icon , or right-click and choose View available docks.
A dedicated tray icon can initiate the Intel

3.1.4 Automatic connections
If a dock is set to con nect automatically, WiGig will attem p t to automatically connect to this dock once
in range. To this end, WiGig keeps s c a nning in the background, while con suming 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 con nect 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 c om e s up
and USB devices are enumerated, a nd you can start working.
When successfully connected to a dock, the dock LED changes color (c olor is specific to dock vendor).
Note: For the c onnection to be fully completed automa tic ally, as describe d a b ove, 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 wa ke up the
client and complete the doc king procedure. See Section 3.1.6 for more details. Ability to
wake up the client from the dock is ven d or s p ecific and is conf igured in the BIOS.
You can disable auto-connect by changing th e tog gle on the main Wireless Dock Manager screen while
connected, as shown in Figure 3-8.
Figure 3-8 Disabl ing 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 w ill no longer connect automatically a nd you will have to
manually select the dock from the client, as described in Section 3.1.5.
3.1.5 Manually connect to a dock
To manually connect to a dock, choos e th e dock from the list of dock s by clicking on it, as shown in
Figure 3-9.

Figure 3-9 Manual do c k c onnection
Docks that you have alr ea d y paired with in the past will appear with a d a r k background color. Docks
that you have n ever paired with will app ea r with a light background color.
The list is being refreshed au toma tically, as WiGig keeps scan ning in the background.
Another method to con nect to a dock is via the tray icon. If ther e is only a single paired d oc k in range
(that is, a dock you h ave already pa ir ed 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 n o
paired docks, will give you the option to open the Wireless Dock Manager (View available docks),
where you can ch oos e your desired dock fr om the list.
When successfully connected to a dock, the dock LED changes color (color is specif ic to dock vendor).
3.1.6 Automatic connection in S3 (depends on BIOS
configuration)
When getting in range with a paired doc k that is set to auto-con nect, and the clien t is sleeping (S3),
the WiGig radio wi ll d is cover the dock and establish a low powe r link to it, known a s 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), an d WiGig will wait for an ind ic a tion
from the dock side to wake up the syste m a nd complete the connection procedur e. This can be
achieved by pres s ing the activity button on the dock. When the button is pressed , the client is moved
to S0, and the con nection completes autom atically.
Once fully connected, the dock LED may change color.
3.1.7 Automatic connection in connected standby
When getting in range with a paired doc k that is set to auto-con nect, and the clien t is connected
standby low-power mode, th e WiGig radio will automatically con nect to the dock. Th e d evices
connected to the d oc k will be connected and enumerated on th e c lie nt, 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 s creen, press the activity button on the
dock, or alternatively click the mouse or press the keyboard.

3.1.8 Disconnect from the dock
There are sever a l m e thods in which you c an disconnect an active connection:
1. First, you can simply take your client and walk out of range fr om the dock. WiGig will even tually
lose the link, a nd the dock will be disconnected. Once disconnected, WiGig automatically star ts
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 message
pictured in Figure 3-10 after disconnecting.
Figure 3-10 Dock disconne c tion mesage
Note: Disconnecting by getting out of range (auto-disconnect) is experienced by the system as a
USB surprise-removal event. While Win dow s 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 dev ices c onnected to the dock (other devices,
such as HID, USB LAN, USB audio, etc., do not suffer). If this is a conce r n, for example, if
you have a Mass Storage device connected to your dock, an d you ha ve 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 W iGig manually, as descr ib ed
below. In any ca s e , it is advised to act in a simila r manner to un docking 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 in the
main window. Alternativ ely, you can right-click the system tray icon and choose Disconnec t from
<dock name>.

3. Anoth er method for manually disconnecting is to press and ho l d the activity button on the dock for
more than four seconds. This method is especially useful for closed-lid operations, or if you a r e
trying to manually disconnect a system where you cannot access the Wireless Dock Manager (like
when the system is locked an d you do not know the password).
Once disconnected, the dock LED chan ges color (color is specific to dock vendor ), and the OSD
shows the Ready to Connect message, as shown in Figure 3-12.
Figure 3-12 Ready to connect message
Note: Manually disconnecting from a dock that is set to connect automatically will tempor a rily
disable auto-connect to this dock. This is to prevent the connection fr om be ing recovered
immediately. To re-enable automatic connections to this dock, the client needs to get out
of range (for about 13 seconds) and then return.

3.1.9 PIN-based pairing
Intel Wireless Dock Manager version 2.6 or newer a llows WiGig pairing using a PIN, without the need
to push the button on the dock. To enable PI N -based pairing, select the PIN entry option from the
Dock Management menu, as shown in Figure 3-13.
Figure 3-13 Enabling PIN-bas ed pairing
There are dock products tha t have no push button option. Such docks are configured in the factory
with no PBC button available. (See Ref 7). For these dock products, PIN-based pairing is the default
pairing method, and the Confirmation S ettings options do not appea r in the Dock Management menu.
Once the PIN entry is configured, the user is prompted to enter the PIN number when trying to
connect to the dock, as shown in Figure 3-14. The PIN number will be shown in an OSD on the
monitor connected to the dock.

when an update is available for your dock, it will show up next to the version numbe r .
Click the Update Available link to start the software update procedure.
– Dock Access Setti ngs
Individual: Allows automatic connec tions. 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 manua l con firmation. This s e tting forces manual connections by
disabling the auto-connect toggle on connected clients. This setting is part ic ularly suitable
for shared docks in multi-users environmen ts , wh er e it ma y be undesirable to allow
automatic connection to prevent users from inadvertently connecting to th e 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 for ces the user to pair on ev e r y
connection (such as. pa ir ing data is lost upon disconnect). T his is the most secure se tting,
and is mostly suitable for docks w here the convenience of connection is le s s of a concern,
for example in airp or ts, cafes or hote ls .
– 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 ch a nn el to operate in, based on interferenc e a nd other factors.
– Password
Enable this to assign a password for pr otecting the dock setting page, prev enting
unauthorized access.

Congratulations! You have made y our first wireless docking connection.
4.1.3 Automatic connection default
This section is n ot a p plicable to Win10* as in Win7*/8*/8.1*. In Windows 10*, the dock is in
automatically connect mode.
4.1.4 Automatic connections
If a dock is set to con nect automatically, WiGig attempts to automatically connect to the dock once in
range. To this end, WiGig keeps s c a nning in the background, wh ile consuming very little power.
To connect, simp ly place your client ( a ssumed to be in S0) near the dock. Within several seconds,
WiGig will discover the dock and 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 s c r e en comes up and USB
devices are enumerated, and you can sta r t working.
When successfully connected to a dock, the dock LED changes color (specific to the dock vendor).
Note: For the connection to be fully completed automatic ally, as describe d above, the client
needs to be powered on and active (such as in S0). If the client is in S3, W iG ig will
automatically discover the dock, and then you can use the dock button to wak e up the
client and complete the doc king procedure. See Section 3.1.6 for m or e d etails. Ability to
wake up the client from the dock is ven d or s p ecific and is conf igured in the BIOS.

5.1 Intel® WiGig A/V wireless capabilities
Intel® WiGig is seen by the Intel® Display Driver as a DP V1.2 Branch device. It advertises its
capabilities to the driver using sta ndard DisplayPort V1.2a tools.
The capabilities include A/V band width, as well as other capabilities related to the internal A/V
subsystem.
®
Intel
WiGig HW can support up to two A/V str ea ms. This limitation is advertised to the Intel
DisplayPort Driver, which then limits the number of active streams sent over the Intel
interface.
When the user connects three displays to the MST hub at the output of the Intel
only two out of the three displays connected can be active at the same time.
5.1.1 Intel® WiGig DisplayPort Bandwidth and other limitations
The DisplayPort V1.2a standard defines mechanisms that allow branch devices to advertise their
capabilities and limitations to the Display Driver. There are two main limitations which may affect the
user experience:
1. DisplayPort Bandwidth (A KA PBN): Intel
This results in a n a b ility to support single display resolutions of up to 2560×1600@60 Hz or Dual
Display Resolutions of 1920×1200@60 Hz.
For example, if the user connects 2 1600p60 capable displays to th e dock, it cannot drive the
native resolution to both display s d ue to the DP BW limitation . The Display Drive r will remove
some of the video mo des from one of the disp la ys while allowin g native resolution to the 2nd
display.
2. Wireless Branch Device Limitations (AKA CCS): Intel® WiGig DP interface advertises Wireless
Branch Device lim itations related to the capabilities of the integrated v ideo Encoders and
Decoders.
Currently the a d vertised limitations are as follows:
a. Frame Width <= 2560
b. Frame Height < = 1600
c. Max Frame Rate = 60 Hz
d. Min Frame Rate = 59 Hz
e. Max Pixel Clock = 268 MHz
f. RGB: Only color space modes supported
g. Progressive only modes supported
All display modes not meeting the criteria above will be rem oved by the display driver and not
shown by the Resolution Manager.

WiGig DP interface operates at 4 × 2.7 gbps speed.

5.2 User experience when connecting more than two
displays to the wireless dock
The driver initially selects two default disp la ys. These will be th e displays connected to the output
ports #1 and #2 of the MST hub device. T he display connected to port #3 will not be used and will not
appear in the Windows Screen Resolution contr ol panel.

Once the user selects the active displays, the display driver will re-initiate the A/V link setup process
and activate the selected displays.
Only the selected displays w ill be seen in the Windows Screen Res olution control pane l. The
unselected displa y will not be show n (see Figure 5-2). The user c an s elec t th e oper a tin g m ode
