About this document
Overview and Purpose
This document describes how to use the Option XYfi (engineering name „Nyos Evo‟) during testing. The
first 3 parts explain how to install the drivers and make the different driver interfaces visible in the device
manager, so that AT commands can be send. The 4th part explains how to use the web browser, to
control settings of the WLAN access point (hotspot). For some tests it might be required that the device
has some „client‟ functions, e.g. switch WLAN on/off, change data rates or channel. These items are
explained in the last part.

2 NETWORK INTERFACE HOTFIX
Sometimes, after installation of the drivers, the device manager shows an exclamation mark next to the “XYfi –
Network Interface”. If the device mentions a code 10 error, there is a hotfix available for download to correct this.
The problem can occur when you install the drivers on Windows XP with Service Pack 2.
a. Open your internet explorer and go to: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/901122/en-us
b. Click on “View and request hotfix downloads”.

3 MAKING THE SERIAL INTERFACE PORTS VISIBLE
When the Nyos Evo is inserted in a host, the device manager will not show the application, diagnostics, or any
other interface. Since driver interfaces will be required for sending AT commands or logging via QXDM, this
needs to be configured on the host device used for testing.
Follow the steps below to make the drivers visible.
a. Go to “Start” “Run…” Type “regedit” and press “OK”.
b. Open, on the left, the folder: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB\
Vid_0af0&Pid_8700\Serial_Number\Device Parameters]
c. Double click on “SwitchType” and change the value from “4” to “3”.

5 OTHER WLAN FUNCTIONS
In the first phase it‟s not possible yet to use the Nyos Evo as WiFi client. For some testing it might be required to
switch the wireless LAN on/off, or to change the channel or data rates. How to do this is explained in the next
steps:
a. Download a telnet/SSH client. We used PuTTy (freely available) for this document.
b. Plug in the Nyos Evo and wait until the WLAN connection is established.
c. Connect to 192.168.1.1. In our example we used PuTTy and chose connection type „SSH‟.
d. Login as „root‟, password „a‟.
e. Then type „uaputl‟. Now a list of all possible commands with some explanation is displayed:
f.
When making changes to the settings it‟s best to stop the WLAN device, with the command
uaputl bss_stop
This command can thus be used to stop the WLAN transmission.

g. Some basic commands to change different settings are listed here. Typing the command below
followed by –help will display more information about the command.
sys_cfg_channel
uaputl sys_cfg_channel
Can be used to read out the current channel
uaputl sys_cfg_channel 1
To change channel to 1.
sys_cfg_tx_data_rate
uaputl sys_cfg_tx_data_rate
to see the current data rate
uaputl sys_cfg_tx_data_rate --help
to get an overview of the different possible data rates
uaputl sys_cfg_tx_data_rate 11
to set the current data rate to 5.5Mbps (=500Kbps * 11)
h. After the settings have been configured, don‟t forget to start the WLAN chip again.
uaputl bss_start

6 CONTROLLING THE WLAN TRANSMITTER
a. When we want to directly control the WLAN transmitter, we have to upload a script to the XYfi.
To put files on the device, you need some special software. In this case, we use WinSCP.
You can download it from www.winscp.net.
b. Start WinSCP and fill in:
- Host name: 192.168.1.1
- User name: root
- Password: a
Click on “Login”.
c. Go to the root of the device, so you can see the directories in the right window, like on the screenshot
below.
In the left window, browse to the file you want to copy to the device. (tx_cont_878xb)

d. Click on the file and drag it from the left to the right window.
You get a dialog box. Click “copy” and the file will be placed on the XYfi.
Note: if you remove the device from the computer, the file will be erased!!!
e. Go to “Session” in the menu and choose “Disconnect”.
Note: otherwise it’s not possible to login with Putty.
f.
Run Putty and login as done in chapter 5, step a to d.
g. Use the following commands:
cd ..
chmod +x tx_cont_878xb
The script is now ready to be used.
h. To see the possible parameters, run the script by using “./tx_cont_878b”
i.
To configure the WLAN transmitter, use the script with the desired parameters.
./tx_cont_878xb “channel” “data rate”
Note: the data rate is represented by the number above it.
Example:
./tx_cont_878xb 4 9 : transmit on channel 4 with a data rate of 24 Mbps.
./tx_cont_878xb 12 3 : transmit on channel 12 with a data rate of 11 Mbps.
