1. Change the following parameters in the Configuration file:
Center Frequency = 0 PhyParameter2 = 0x1 See Appendix C for details on the Configuration file. Find the registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Intel Corporation\WiMAX and set the PartialScan value to 1. (The value 0 means do not use partial scan.) 2. Set value to 1 to use partial scan. Select PartialScan and press Enter to edit the value. 3. Add the Bandwidths you want to scan to the following registry entries:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Winema\ParticalScan\BWS1 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Winema\ParticalScan\BWS2 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Winema\ParticalScan\BWS3 D-1 Using Partial Scan HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Winema\ParticalScan\BWS4 The maximum number of bandwidths supported is four. If you do not want to scan a bandwdith, set the value to 0. Select BWS1 to BWS4 and press Enter to edit the value. Sets the bandwidth to scan.. 4. Add the center frequencies you want to scan to the following registry entries:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Winema\PartialScan\
CenterFreqList01 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Winema\PartialScan\
CenterFreqList02
. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Winema\PartialScan\
CenterFreqList20 The maximum number of center frequencies supported is 20. If you do not want to scan a center frequency, set the value to 0. D-2 Select CenterFreqList01 to CenterFreqList20 and press Enter to edit the value. 5. Run WinemaCM. Sets the center frequency to scan. D-3 Using Partial Scan D-4 Appendix E: Registry Settings This section lists the Windows Registry settings for WinemaCM.
