Wavecom W61PC V7.5.0 - Manual (Page 22)

12  Setup WAVECOM Decoder W61PC/LAN Manual V7.5
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 installa-
tion 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 hard-
ware.
W61PC Drivers and Windows Logo Testing
Windows 2000/XP introduced a new feature called Driver Signing, in which drivers are certified by the Mi-
crosoft 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
Hardware Setup
The W61LAN delivery contains the following items,
 A complete, single board computer system, running Windows XP
 A Win7 installation CD
 A W61PC card (integrated with the single board computer)
 A power supply for 100-240VAC
 A CD-ROM containing the drivers and the complete system documentation
 A standard straight LAN cable (use with a switch or hub)
 A cross-over LAN cable for direct connection of the W61LAN to a PC
The system is ready to go, but you should configure it according to your requirements regarding LAN set-
up, security etc.
Please allow enough space on each side and on top of the W61LAN to avoid overheating (max. 55 grad C
surface temperature). If necessary use an external fan.
