General Information
Welcome
Thank you for choosing a WAVECOM decoder. The product that you have purchased includes the latest
technology in data decoding, together with the latest software release available at the time of shipment.
Please check our website at http://www.wavecom.ch for software updates.
Before you install the product, please also check the latest documentation on the installation CD/DVD or
on our website.
WAVECOM ELEKTRONIK AG develops and sells products for wireless (HF/VHF/VHF/SHF) data monitoring
independent of frequency range.
Two decoder families are currently available:
W-CODE is a stand-alone application, which works with native host hardware.
W61PC/W61LAN consists of hardware (e.g., W61PC, W61LAN) and corresponding, integral soft-
ware (no additional order of the software required).
Company Profile
WAVECOM ELEKTRONIK GmbH was founded in 1985 in Hohentengen, Germany, close to the Swiss border.
In 1991 the company moved to Switzerland and established itself as WAVECOM ELEKTRONIK AG. Now located in Buelach, it is within close distance of Zurich airport.
The company has focused on decoding and analysis systems for wireless data transmissions. The wide
product range spans from professional, high performance systems to devices for private and amateur radio use.
Very high quality standards coupled with high system performance result in a high level of customer satisfaction worldwide. A global network of authorized sales partners ensures that local assistance and basic
level support can be provided in most places. More than 95% of all units sold are exported, and the majority of the customers are government agencies, defense organizations and the telecommunication industry.
About 40% of the turnover is invested in research and development. The employees at WAVECOM ELEKTRONIK AG are mainly engineers with experience in DSP technology, computer and RF hardware development, as well as software engineering and radio data transmission. Access to external know-how and
human resources increases the company’s capability to realize projects. Manufacturing is outsourced to
specialized companies within Switzerland which can handle today's needs for processing surface mount
components and fine-pitch structures.
WAVECOM ELEKTRONIK AG does not have any juridical or financial links or connections to other companies or official bodies, and is completely owned by Mr. Christian Kesselring.

Setup
W61PC
The powerful W61PC hardware includes a digital signal processor (DSP) and a fast 14-bit A/D converter.
Four signal inputs are available: AFIF#1-3, IF70MHz, and DIG/EXTDEM. An extremely stable direct digital
down-converter (DDC) translates all input signals to base band. The DSP demodulates the incoming data,
while the PC’s CPU provides the decoding and display of the data.
One PC can accommodate a maximum of eight W61PC cards. WAVECOM recommends that the number of
cards installed in a standard PC does not exceed four.
Plug-and-Play (PnP) automatic installation is provided.
W61PC Hardware Installation
Before unpacking the W61PC card or installing it in your PC ensure that your body is grounded, to avoid
damaging static sensitive components on the card or in the computer. You can reduce static electricity on
your body by touching the metal chassis of your computer or using a standard grounded wrist strap.
Power off your computer, unplug it from its power source and disconnect all peripherals. Then, carefully
remove the cover of the computer, and locate a free PCI slot. Carefully insert the card into the connector
and check that it is fully inserted. Replace the computer cover, and power on the machine.
WARNING: THE A/D CONVERTER ON THE W61PC CARD MAY DEVELOP ENOUGH HEAT TO PRODUCE BURNS OR START A FIRE IF PLACED NEAR FLAMMABLE OBJECTS. WAVECOM WILL NOT BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM NON-COMPLIANCE WITH THIS WARNING.
Connecting to a W61PC Card
The W61PC card has four SMA signal inputs and a Mini-DIN connector:

One or more of these inputs must be connected to the signal source(s) using a coaxial cable or a similar
shielded cable. As an example a HF receiver may be connected to an AFIF connector and a satellite receiver to the IF70#4 connector.
To avoid distortion of the input signal the input voltage ranges listed above should be observed.
20 dB attenuation jumpers are located on the PCB close to the corresponding input connectors.
Below is an example configuration for a W61PC card setup:
The external FSK demodulator hardware is optional - it is only required if the customer wishes to use his
own demodulator hardware.

W61PC Power Supply Ratings
The power supply ratings for a W61PC card are:
1.0A@+3.3V
0.4A@+12V
W61PC Software Installation
Windows’ hardware wizard can be used to install the software. Insert the WAVECOM installation disc in the
disc drive. When requested, point the wizard to the drive and start installation.
10 Setup WAVECOM Decoder W61PC/LAN Manual V7.5
Click the W61PC button to start the installation
of the W61PC application.
First, you will see the welcome screen. Click
Next to continue the installation.
Change the destination folder and click Next to
continue the installation.
Click Next to continue the installation.
Wait until the installation is finished
If the installation was successful, click Finish to
complete the process.
Note: After installation you can run the W61PC application if you are a member of the Administrators,
Power Users or Users group.
If a software update is about to be undertaken, the old version must be uninstalled (see “Software ” on
page 18). After uninstallation has completed, insert the WAVECOM installation disc in the drive. The installation program will start automatically. Otherwise it can be started with Windows Explorer by doubleclicking Installation.exe. Now the welcome dialogue of the installation program is displayed:
If you are prompted to restart your computer, do so.
WAVECOM Decoder W61PC/LAN Manual V7.5 Setup 11
Note: Check for hidden windows if the installation process seems to “hang” (this can be done by pressing
the Alt+Tab keys). Sometimes windows in the background are waiting for user input to allow the installation to proceed.
After rebooting, you may start the software even without any hardware installed. Click on the W61PC-1
icon to make a test start. However, starting a transmission mode is not possible without decoder hardware.
W61PC Drivers and Windows Logo Testing
Windows 2000/XP introduced a new feature called Driver Signing, in which drivers are certified by the Microsoft Logo testing program and a digital signature added to inform the operating system of a successful
certification.
As WAVECOM drivers are only used in a small number of computers, they are not submitted to Microsoft
for certification. As a result, during driver installation, a dialog box will be displayed to inform the user
that the driver is not signed.
This message does not indicate that a problem exists with the driver. It is a purely informational message
to notify the user that the driver does not contain a digital signature. To complete the driver installation,
users should select the Continue Anyway button.
W61PC Server Control
The WAVECOM Server and the WAVECOM Server Control applications are used to setup and monitor the
connections between decoder cards (clients) and the server. The server is responsible for managing the
decoders connected to the computer as well as all the connections made to that decoder. The WAVECOM
Server is started by the GUI for a local connection (GUI and card on the same machine). By default the
server is started as a Windows service, as opposed to a process.
W61LAN-MK3
