Sierra Gobi package v1-1-170 notes.txt Driver File Contents (14_WWAN.zip)

This package contains WHQL drivers for XP, Vista and Windows 7 and is only for modules with the Sierra VID/PID.

These drivers allow you, via the command line, to choose the default carrier image, selective suspend, GPS, etc. This is documented in the release notes, but I’m also indicating it here as I don’t find the release notes themselves all that clear.

Setup.exe supports the following command line options (0 means disabled, 1 means enabled): 

   /i          Install
   /x         Uninstall
   /l          Turn on logging (log file will be in the %TMP% directory. The file name will be in the format Gobxx.tmp)
   /q          Quiet (No UI)
   /?          Help
   [PROPERTY=PropertyValue]
      DEFAULTIMAGE    Values: Carrier folder ID (default is UMTS Generic)
      GPS             Values: 0 or 1 (Default is ENABLED)
      SS              Values: 0 or 1 (Selective Suspend) (Default is DISABLED)
      WIN7DRIVER      Values: 0 or 1 (Default is ENABLED
      CHECKFORDEVICE  Values: 0 or 1 (only install if Gobi device is present. Default is DISABLED)
      CARRIER<#>      Values: 0 or 1 (which images to install/not install) (Default is ALL carriers are installed)
      XTRA	      Values: 0 or 1 (Default is ENABLED)
      LOCATIONDRIVER  Values: 0 or 1 (Default is ENABLED)
      QCOMBUSDRIVER   Values: 0 or 1 (Default is DISABLED)

A couple of things to note.

DEFAULTIMAGE=# 
# and carrier map as follows:
        0 - Vodafone    
        1 - Verizon
        2 - ATT                
        3 - Sprint             
        4 - T-Mobile           
        6 - Generic UMTS       
        7 - Telefonica         
        8 - Telecom Italia     
        9 - Orange                      
        12 - DoCoMo
	14 - Telcel
	16 - OMH

So, for example,  DEFAULTIMAGE=3 would set the default image to be SPRINT.

CARRIER<#> 
# again maps as above. By default, everything gets installed. So if you don’t want to install one, then you need to DISABLE the particular carrier. 
So CARRIER4=0 CARRIER7=0 would not install the T-Mobile and Telefonica images.

If you want to install with just the defaults, then just double-click setup.exe.
