Setup W-PCI/W-PCIe The WAVECOM hardware decoder series W-PCI and W-PCIe have two physically independent 16-bit A/D converters. Each card has five inputs in two groups: AFIF#1, IF70#1a and IF70#1b for the group#1 and AFIF#2 and IF70#2 for the group#2. These two cards are suitable for protocols and systems which re- quire two concurrent channels (e.g., the FAX/modem protocols, INMARSAT protocols etc.)

The default value for GUI connection to the WAVECOM server W- CODE is 33243. Wavecom GUI client (local or remote) can only connect to the server if it is work- ing on the same port.
The WAVECOM server application makes use of a block cipher in CBC mode. All data is encrypted and de- crypted using the DES-EDE2 algorithm, with a key length of 128 bit. During initialization of the encrypted connection, a key is generated using the SHA hash function. The input for the SHA hash function is de- fined within the WAVECOM software and cannot be changed by the user.
The Alarm Monitor is a component of the decoder software. Although it is a separate application, it is only useful when used in conjunction with the WAVECOM software. The Alarm Monitor can monitor all data out- put from text modes of the WAVECOM decoder, and produce alarms for user configured messages. An alarm produces an alert (with optional audio alert), and logs the message to a file.
Configuration – Font size The Alarm Monitor will display the text lines with the WAVECOM Unicode font in the selected size. Use Color: to display the background with the selected color. Options The Save menu is used to configure the file saving options.
