2.3.2 Programming Configuration Information

The configuration information (MAC address, calibration data, CIS table, etc.) are saved in EEPROM and are accessed through the SPI interface. The image can be also programmed through the PCI interface. There are two ways to program the image (build-in SPI or with a hex file). Although the build-in image is more stable, loading the image from a hex file allows access to more recent information and allows more flexibility.

To program build-in image:

1. Type the command 37.

2. Type 38 to verify the image against the build-in image. There should be no errors reported.

3. Type 48.

This command programs the sub-PID and sub-VID for the Marvell Mini PCI card (47 for the CardBus).

To program the image from the file:

1. Type 39.

The current file name is displayed in brackets. The default is Spi.hex. When prompted for filename, either press Enter or type Spi.hex. If there is no change to the configuration, press Enter. If there is a change, the configuration information from the file name entered is retained for this execution (replaces the information in the default file).

2. Type 40.

This command will verify the image against the given file.

3. Type 48.

This command programs the sub-PID and sub-VID for the Marvell Mini PCI card (47 for the CardBus).

After downloading the image, or if the image already exists, the MAC address is programmed as follows:

1. Type “46 xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx”.

This command writes the MAC address (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx). Use command 45 to view the MAC address currently programmed.

a) Use hexadecimal values in the following format: xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx for the MAC address. b) Enter the values with a period (.) in between number pairs.

2. Type 99 to exit.

Notes

• To view the these commands, run the DutApiPci98_G.exe file as follows: “DutApiPci98_G.exe -m”. The space is required between DutApiPci98_G.exe and -m. See 3.1.3 "Additional Menu Interface" on page 13.

• Command 37 can be used to download the build-in Spi.hex file. However, when a new Spi.hex is available, use command 39. When using command 37, use command

Command Line Interface

Using the Manual Test Module

Section 3. Command Line Interface

3.1 Using the Manual Test Module

The manual test module runs through a simple menu-driven interface. Two executable files are needed for the test. The Setup.ini file must be located in the same directory as the executable files.

• DutApiPci98_G.exe. Controls the CardBus and Mini PCI cards.

• GoldenAP.exe. Controls the Golden unit. Needed for Rx Sensitivity tests (unless a signal generator is used).

• Setup.ini

Run both the DutApiPci98_G.exe and GoldenAP.exe files to launch the tool. Each command is numbered, and some commands accept input parameters. For example, to retrieve the current channel setting, type 11 and press Enter. This command returns the current channel. To set the channel to 6, type “12 6” and press Enter, where 12 is the command and 6 is the input parameter.

3.2 Receiver Sensitivity Test

3.2.1 Overview

The receiver sensitivity test is based on frame error rate (FER). The test will send a known number of frames, count the number of frames received on the DUT, and calculate the frame error rate. According to the IEEE specification, sensitivity is the lowest input power level needed to achieve a FER less than 8% for 802.11b data rates, and 10% for 802.11g data rates.

For the manufacturing test, the Golden Unit is used to transmit packets.

3.2.2 Test Procedure

1. Launch the GoldenAP.exe and DutApiPci98_G.exe files.

2. Type 75 to initialize the DUT (in the DutApiPci98_G.exe menu).

3. Type “12 x” (where “x” is the channel number) to set the desired channel on the DUT.

4. Type 31 to clear the received packet counter.

5. OPTIONAL: Type “34 1 11.22.33.44.55.66” to filter on BSSID. In this example, only frames with BSSID = 11.22.33.44.55.66 will be counted.

6. Set the channel for the Golden Unit (in the GoldenAP.exe menu). Type 33. The user is prompted to enter the length, count, data rate, pattern, and BSSID as parameters.

7. Type 32 to read the received packet counter. The DUT will report the number of frames received correctly (for example, no CRC error), the number of multicast frames received correctly, and the number of frames received with CRC errors. Calculate the FER based on the number of frames sent by the Golden Unit.

8. If necessary, adjust the settings on the programmable attenuators to achieve the desired FER.

Note

To verify the DUT is properly shielded, clear the received packet counter, wait a few seconds, and read the packet counter. The packet counter should read 0.

3.3 Transmitter Tests

As an example, this section describes how to use the manual test module to set the DUT to Tx mode.

1. Connect antenna port 1 to the spectrum analyzer and power meter.

2. Start the manual test module.

3. Type 75 to initialize the DUT.

4. Type “12 x” (where “x” is the channel number) to set the desired channel on the DUT.

5. Type “17 1 13” to enable continuous transmission at the 54 Mbps data rate. The device will output a continu-

ous modulated signal.

6. Type “17 0” to disable continuous transmission.

7. Type “18 1” to enable carrier wave continuous transmission.

8. Type “18 0” to disable carrier wave continuous transmission.

9. Type “33 400 64 13 AAAAAAAA xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx” (where AA’s are the frame pattern and xx’s are the BSSID)

to transmit 100 1 KB data packets at a 54 Mbps data rate.

Notes

• The default register values provided by Marvell are the settings used to achieve the highest output power while still meeting the IEEE specification requirements.

• If the measured EVM is higher than specified in the IEEE specification, please contact your Marvell Field Applications Engineer.
