WAVECOM ELEKTRONIK AG develops and sells products for wireless (HF/VHF/VHF/SHF) data monitoring in
all frequency bands.
Two decoder families are currently available:
W-PCI and W-PCIe are decoder hardwares with two physically independent channels.
W74PC is a hardware decoder with four physically independent channels. The decoder software WCODE supports all these three hardwares.
W-CODE works also as a stand-alone application with native host hardware, like the built-in
soundcard or other audio devices.
W61PC/W61LAN consists of hardware (e.g., W61PC, W61LAN) and corresponding, integral soft-
ware (no additional order of the software required).

Setup
W-PCI/W-PCIe
The WAVECOM hardware decoder series W-PCI and W-PCIe have two physically independent 16-bit A/D
converters. Each card has five inputs in two groups: AFIF#1, IF70#1a and IF70#1b for the group#1 and
AFIF#2 and IF70#2 for the group#2. These two cards are suitable for protocols and systems which require two concurrent channels (e.g., the FAX/modem protocols, INMARSAT protocols etc.)
W-PCI/W-PCIe Hardware Installation
Before unpacking the W-PCI or W-PCIe card or installing it into your PC please make sure that you are attached to the electric ground to avoid damaging static sensitive components on the card or in the computer.
Power off your computer, unplug it from its power source and disconnect or turn off all peripherals. Carefully remove the cover of the computer and locate a free PCI or PCI express slot. Firmly insert the card into the slot. Close the computer cover and switch on the power.
WARNING: THE A/D CONVERTER ON THE W-PCI AND W-PCIe CARD MAY DEVELOPE 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.

W74PC
The WAVECOM decoder hardware W74PC has four physically independent channels with two 16-bit A/D
converters. There are four SMA input connectors for input signal. Each SMA connector can be switched to
AFIF (50 Hz – 25 MHz) and IF70 (52.5 MHz – 87.5 MHz) by a signal relay. W74PC is suitable for decoding
signals and protocols which require multiple concurrent channels (e.g., the FAX/modem protocols, INMARSAT protocols etc.)
W74PC Hardware Installation
Before unpacking the W74PC card or installing it into your PC please make sure that you are attached to

Click the “W-CODE” button to install the W-CODE
and W-CLOUD application.
First, you will see the welcome screen. Click
“Next” to continue the installation.
W74PC Software Installation
(please refer to Software Installation W-CODE, W74PC, W-PCI and W-PCIe.)
Wavecom Hardware Decoder License
Wavecom hardware decoders W-PCI, W-PCIe and W74PC use a 25-alphanumeric-digit key as license. The
license key is bound to the card serial no. Details please refer to “License...”.
W-CODE
The W-CODE application takes existing equipment of the customer, e.g., a soundcard or virtual soundcard
(VSC) as input device and works under a CmStick USB license key. This feature allows seamless integration with SDR (Software Defined Radio) receivers with IQ data, TCP/IP outputs or digital audio outputs via
virtual sound cards. Decoding from PC soundcards with sampling rates up to 192 kHz is also supported.
One client license is provided with each software package (multiple licenses on request). W-CODE provides all functions required to analyze, decode and process radio data communications over the entire frequency spectrum.
W-CODE Hardware Installation
Insert the USB licence key(s) in any USB socket.
Software Installation W-CODE, W74PC, W-PCI and W-PCIe
Insert the WAVECOM installation DVD in the drive. When requested, point the auto start wizard to the disc
drive and start installation.
Note: After installation, you can run the corresponding application W-CODE, W74PC, W-PCI and W-PCIe if
you are a member of the Administrators, Power Users or Users group.
Before the installation of a software update, the old version must be uninstalled (see “Software Uninstall”
on page 18). After uninstallation has completed, insert the WAVECOM installation disc in the drive; the installer will start automatically. Otherwise, it can be started with Windows Explorer by double-clicking
Installation.exe.
Without loosing generality we show the installation steps on the example W-CODE.
The selection dialogue of the installation program is displayed:
14 Setup WAVECOM Decoder W74PC, W-PCI/e, W-CODE, W-CLOUD Manual V8.7.0
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: If a firewall is enabled on your system, depending on its security level settings, various components
of W-CODE may ask to access the Internet or the trusted zone of the firewall. You will have to manually
grant access to these components.
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 a button to be pressed to allow the
installation to proceed.
W-CODE Server Control
The WAVECOM Server and the WAVECOM Server Control applications are used to setup and monitor the
connections between devices (clients) and the server, respectively. The server is responsible for managing
the devices (e.g., soundcards) in the computer as well as all the connections made to those devices. The
WAVECOM Server is started by the GUI for a local connection (GUI and devices on the same machine) or
by the Server Control for a remote connection. The WAVECOM Server is started as a Windows Service.
W-CODE Device Serial Number
The serial number of the audio device (soundcard or virtual audio cable VAC) is generated from part of the
active MAC address of the computer network interface and a counter.
W-CODE recognizes sound devices in the computer as its input devices. The serial number of a sound device comes from the built-in network card of the computer. The serial number is used as a reference for
custom inputs ans default settings. You will lose some settings if you switch to a different LAN adaptor,
e.g., switching from a LAN to a WLAN connection.
WAVECOM hardware W74PC, W-PCI and W-PCIe are detected by their corresponding application, they are
also listed in the Device dialog window with the device name and serial number. The serial number is
used as a reference for custom inputs and default settings. It is from the decoder hardware and will never
change.

W-CODE Device dialog window.
W-CLOUD Networking
A W-CLOUD device is like a local W-CODE device, e.g., soundcard, W-PCI or W-PCIe cards. The only difference is a W-CLOUD device is physically at a remote site (over the internet) where the antenna and receiver are located. W-CLOUD device sends genuine and encrypted IQ signal to W-CODE for decoding.
In the W-CODE Device dialog window you can enter a W-CLOUD device by name (or IP address) and port
number. The connection can be made automatically upon restarting W-CODE (by pressing the “Restart”
button). The connection between W-CLOUD and W-CODE can be encrypted by checking the “Encryption”
box. Because the signal is received at a remote site, it is a big help to hear the signal at W-CODE site. This
is done by activate the “Sound” button. By pressing the “Check” button you may know the instantanuous
status of a W-CLOUD device.
A W-CLOUD device may have the following “Status”:
Available: W-CLOUD device is reachable, W-CODE can connect to it by restarting.
Offline: W-CLOUD device is unreachable.
Busy: W-CLOUD device is used by another W-CODE.
Connected: W-CLOUD device is connected by this W-CODE.
Denied: W-CLOUD device is reachable, but this W-CODE can not connect to it because this W-
CODE does not have the access right.
As W-CLOUD is a networking device, it should be accessable to different W-CODE decoder instances. Considering this W-CLOUD will terminate the connection to a W-CODE when W-CODE does not use this WCLOUD actively for ca. 7 minutes, i.e., no mode is running. After the 7 minutes time-out W-CLOUD device
is free for any new connection requests. The previous W-CODE can do decoding as usual by opening a
mode. The connection to the W-CLOUD device will be established automatically, if the W-CLOUD device is
not busy by another W-CODE instance. It may be that the re-established connection does not work
properly, the user just need to open a mode and change the device input to “wake-up” the connection.
