Satellite Weather Initial Installation and Configuration
NOTE Go to step 2 if you just installed the Jeppesen Weather Service.
The following instructions are the recommended steps if you are using FliteDeck with
your XM WxWorx Satellite Weather service for the first time. Before beginning the
installation and configuration process, you must have FliteDeck version 3.3 or later.
To verify your version, open the FliteDeck Setup program and view the FliteDeck
version number at the bottom of the Configuration tab. If you do not have version
3.3 or later, install it using the Internet update feature or with the CD updates
received by mail (see
Keeping Your Programs Up-to-Date for additional information).
STEP 1: Install Jeppesen Weather Services
If you did not install the Jeppesen Weather Service during an ECD Disc 2 update or
during the electronic update to FliteDeck version 3.3:
1. Browse to the Jeppesen Weather Controller (JWC) installer at one of the
following locations depending on your computer setup:
o C:\Jeppesen\FliteDeck3\Utils
(Windows 2000 and XP)
o C:\Program Files\Jeppesen\FliteDeck3\Utils
(Windows 2000, XP
and Vista)
2. Double-click JeppesenWeatherServiceSetup.exe.
3. Follow the installation instructions.
STEP 2: Configure XmLink
After you have installed Jeppesen Weather Services, continue with configuring the
XmLink software with your weather receiver.
If you have not already done so, install the weather receiver on your computer using
the manufacturer's installation instructions, before configuring XmLink for FliteDeck.
Connect the power, antenna, and USB cable to the receiver (follow the instructions
provided with the receiver), and then connect the receiver to your computer USB
port. Microsoft Windows will recognize the receiver and install the drivers. The
receiver must have power and be connected to your computer with all the receiver
drivers installed.
To configure XmLink:
1. Close XmLink if it is currently running.
• For Windows Vista:
Depending on how XmLink was started, you might see an icon in the task bar
as with Windows 2000/XP or you might have an Interactive Services dialog
detection window appear where XmLink is located in a different session (look
in your taskbar for the window). If the XmLink icon is in your taskbar, follow
