1. WLAN Basic Test
1.1 Components
-Windows 10 or above
-Install ModusToolBox 2.3.1 or above (optional)
-Download MFG app to the EVB (the Azurewave MFG app is stored in the EVB by
default)

1.2 Using the Application
The following steps describe how to use the manufacturing test application.
1. Ensure that the Evaluation board is connected to the PC and loaded with the
manufacturing test application, then press the reset button.
2. Using Windows Device Manager, look in the section "Ports (COM & LPT)" and
note the COM port in use by the EVB (e.g. COM63).

3. Open a command prompt and navigate to the directory which contain the wl tool
(e.g. d:\mfgtest\)
4. Verify that the application is working by entering the following command at the
command prompt (where 63 corresponds to the COM port number of the DUT).
d:\mfgtest\wl43438A1.exe --serial 63 ver
A list of available commands is displayed using the command: wl43438A1.exe --serial

This will enter Channel 7 receive mode.
※.The default MAC address is 001122334455. Packets sent from Signal Generator
must have the same MAC address as the DUT’s MAC address (Runtime mac
address can be overrode by using wl cur_etheraddr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx .
※. Use “wl counters” and find the received frame numbers in “rxdfrmocast”.
※. The RX PER = [ (Total lost packets at the receiver) / (Total sent packets from the
Signal Generator) ] x 100%.
Thus, PER =100% - [(rxdfrmocast numbers after sequence play) –(rxdfrmocast
numbers before sequence play)] / (Total sent packets from the signal Generator) x
100%.
