Technical Description and User Guide F3607gw 5 F3607gw Software Overview 5.1 PC Software Architecture The PC software consists of drivers, a Windows service, APIs and a graphical user interface, see picture below. Wireless Manager 6.0 C# API C++ API WMCore Windows 7 Network subsystem Bus Driver F3507g / F3607gw 5.1.1 Installation Procedure Installation follows normal Windows procedures. Microsoft .NETTM 3.5 or later needs to be installed on the machine.
Technical Description and User Guide F3607gw 5.1.2 Connection Configuration When a new SIM card is detected by F3607gw, the Wireless Manager identifies the home network and automatically creates a connection profile from a pre-loaded list of operator settings. This becomes the default profile and is available immediately. Therefore, the user does not need to do anything, in most cases, except click the Connect button to establish a connection.
Technical Description and User Guide F3607gw A CD-ROM containing the necessary system drivers and the Wireless Manager application is supplied with F3607gw. Supported platforms are Windows XP and Windows Vista. The Wireless Manager is accessed from the Windows Desktop or via Start | Programs| Wireless Manager 6.0. Preferences can be set to automatically switch the transmitter on and make a connection. A Wireless Manager icon is placed in the Windows notification area at the bottom right of the screen.
Technical Description and User Guide F3607gw 5.2.4 Text message Text messages can be sent and received. Concatenation is supported, so messages longer than 160 (dependent on text coding), characters can be sent and receive. 5.2.5 Global Position System The Mobile Broadband Module provides Global Positioning System (GPS) functionality. The system separate and can be used without the wireless manager. 5.2.5.
Technical Description and User Guide F3607gw 5.2.5.2 Assisted GPS The Assisted GPS mode is further supported with two different modes, internet assisted and network assisted. In the Assisted mode the external ephemeris data is received through an aiding server. As the ephemeris data is received through an aiding server the performance is increased and the power consumption decreased. 5.2.5.
Technical Description and User Guide F3607gw 5.3 F3607gw SDK In addition to the AT-command interface, an API interface for F3607gw is provided as part of the SDK package. The API library is written in C++ and will provide thirdparty developers with a simplified interface to access device functionality. The API is delivered as a Dynamic Link-Library (DLL), which exposes all necessary functionality to third party applications.
