Using the IOGEAR Wireless Software - Windows
This section provides information on using the following software to manage the IOGEAR
Wireless Software to adjust settings to suit your needs:
1. UWB Connection Manager
2. Adjusting Video Settings
3. Adjusting Audio Settings
1. Introducing the UWB Connection Manager Software
The UWB Connection Manager is the driver software for the GUWAVKIT4B. This driver is
automatically installed when you run the GUWAVKIT4B Installation CD.
The GUWAVKIT4B’s PC Adapter contains a radio transmitter that enables your computer
to communicate wirelessly with the Receiver Base. This radio is known as the host radio.
The UWB Connection Manager driver software enables you to manage the host radio and
perform tasks such as the following:
• Connect/DisconnecttheGUWAVKIT4Bfromyourcomputer
• Change/Selectthechannelusedforradiocommunication
• Disable/Enableradiocommunications
• Disable/Enablepop-upmessages
A. Accessing the UWB Connection Manager
To start the UWB Connection Manager: Double-click the UWB Connection Manager icon
in the System tray / Notication Area of your Windows® desktop.
Note: The UWB Connection Manager icon appears as Blue in your System tray /
Notication Area only when the PC adaptor is connected to your computer.
You may need to click the Show Hidden Icons button to display hidden icons. If the
icon is not displayed in the System Tray / Notication Area, you can access the UWB
Connection Manager by double-clicking on the UWB Connection Manager icon on your
Windows® desktop.
11
B. Connecting the GUWAVKIT4B to your computer:
The UWB Connection Manager display window will show the GUWAVKIT4B on
the Devices tab as Not Connected. Simply click on the Connect button to establish
a connection. It will take approximately 15 seconds for the Drivers to load upon
rst connection. When the wireless connection has been made, a yellow star will
automatically appear next to the GUWAVKIT4B icon, making it the default device for
future connections. If the external monitor connected to the Receiver Base shows only
the wallpaper background of your Windows® desktop, please refer to Page 15 to set the
display mode to Mirror Mode.
C. Disconnecting the GUWAVKIT4B from your computer:
On the Devices tab of the UWB Connection Manager, right-click on the connected
GUWAVKIT4B and unselect “Set as default.” Once the device is no longer the default
device you can then either a) double-click on the device, or b) right-click then select
“Disconnect”. The device will now move back to “Not Connected” status
D. Renaming the GUWAVKIT4B:
You can change the name of the each GUWAVKIT4B listed on the Devices tab of the
UWB Connection Manager. This is especially useful if you have multiple GUWAVKIT4B’s
to differentiate. To rename a GUWAVKIT4B, right-click on the default name, select
Rename from the shortcut menu, and then enter a custom name.
12
E. Radio Communications
To change / select the channel used for radio communication:
The Communications tab of the UWB Connection Manager enables you to view and
change the radio settings. The default channel setting is Automatic, which enables the
host radio to automatically locate an available channel for communications.
Note: It is recommended to leave this setting on Automatic. If you manually select
a channel that is being used by another GUWAVKIT4B in the vicinity, the channel
bandwidth will be shared by both devices. To maximize performance, there are
eight channels to choose from and a separate channel should be used for each
GUWAVKIT4B.

13
2. Adjusting Video Settings
A. Selecting Extended mode or Mirror mode
You can choose to set the video output signal to Extend mode or Mirror mode. The
default setting is Extend mode.
Extend mode extends your desktop space across multiple monitors, so that you can
display different information on each monitor connected to your computer. This provides
a number of advantages to increase productivity, including the ability to:
• View large spreadsheets across two screens
• Multitask more effectively without overlapping windows
• Compare two documents simultaneously across two screens
• View videos / TV on one screen and reviews on the other
Mirror mode duplicates the image on your computer screen onto the external
monitor(s). This mode is useful if, for example, you want to view information on a larger,
external desktop monitor instead of a smaller, built-in computer screen. In Mirror mode,
the Adapter automatically adjusts the external monitor’s resolution, color quality, and
refresh rate settings to provide the best overall image quality based on your computer’s
settings.
