ATE Test Command Format for station driver

****** IMPORTANT ******
If you are not familiar with hardware, it is recommanded not to modify hardware default value.
It may damage hardware.


Usage:
	iwpriv ra0 [act] [parameters]=[val]


where

[act]		[parameters]        [val] constraints              explaination
---------	-------------       -----------------              --------------------------------
set		ATEDA		    xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx              set ATE frame header addr1

		ATESA		    xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx		   set ATE frame header addr2

		ATEBSSID	    xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx		   set ATE frame header addr3

		ATETXPOW	    0 ~ 31			   set ATE Tx power
		
		ATETXLEN	    24 ~ 1500			   set ATE frame length

		ATETXCNT	    1 ~				   set ATE frame Tx count

		ATETXRATE	    0 ~ 11			   set ATE frame Tx rate (rate_1 ~ rate_54)

		ATE		    				   set ATE actions
				    STASTOP			   stop STA & ATE function
		                    STASTART                       start STA function
		                    TXCONT			   start STA continuous TX
		                    TXCARR			   start STA carrier test
		                    TXFRAME			   transmit frame
		                    RXFRAME			   continuous RX
		                    
		ResetCounter	    0				   reset statistic counter

bbp		0 ~		    xx				   read/write BBP register

mac		0 ~		    xxxxxxxx			   read/write MAC register


For example:

1. set ATE associative argument
	iwpriv ra0 set ATEDA=00:11:22:33:44:55
	iwpriv ra0 set ATESA=00:11:22:33:44:55
	iwpriv ra0 set ATEBSSID=00:11:22:33:44:55
	iwpriv ra0 set ATETXPOW=16
	iwpriv ra0 set ATETXLEN=1000
	iwpriv ra0 set ATETXCNT=32
	iwpriv ra0 set ATETXRATE=0

2. set ATE actions
	iwpriv ra0 set ATE=STASTOP
	iwpriv ra0 set ATE=STASTART
	iwpriv ra0 set ATE=TXCONT
	iwpriv ra0 set ATE=TXCARR
	iwpriv ra0 set ATE=TXFRAME
	iwpriv ra0 set ATE=RXFRAME

3. Hardware access
	iwpriv ra0 bbp 0			# read BBP register 0
	iwpriv ra0 bbp 0=12			# write BBP register 0 as 0x12
	iwpriv ra0 mac 0			# read MAC register 0
	iwpriv ra0 mac 0=1234abcd		# write MAC register 0 as 0x1234abcd
	
Suggestion:
	1. To turn on ATE functionality, you have to add compile flag "RT2500_DBG" and "RALINK_ATE" to Makefile
	2. Before doing ATE testing, please stop STA function (iwpriv ra0 set ATE=STASTOP)
	3. If you want to test another ATE action, prefer to stop STA & ATE function (iwpriv ra0 set ATE=STASTOP)
	4. All ATE function settings will lose efficacy after reboot.
	5. Before hardware register access, please reference hardware spec.

How To Update Drivers Manually

After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.

  • Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).

  • If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.

  • Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.

  • Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.

  • Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

  • From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.

  • Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.

Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
