RFSilent
This chapter describes the RFSilent application that allows you to enable or
disable the RF Signal (radio) on all AlphanetworksSTA Reference Designs.
The RFSilent is a Windows-based application that appears in the right-hand
corner of your Windows taskbar.
System Requirements
The RFSilent application communicates with most Windows applications
using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). For Windows NT 4.0,
RFSilent communicates through the Input and Output Control (IOCTL)
mechanism.
If you are using Windows 98SE, WMI does not come pre-installed and you
must install it prior to using RFSilent. Refer to the following procedure to
acquire and install the required WMI module from Microsoft.
Windows 98SE Environment
If you want to use the RFSilent application in a Windows 98SE environment,
you must install WMI.
Follow these steps to install WMI:
1. Download the WMI installer (wmi9x.exe) from Microsoft and save it to
your hard disk.
2. Execute the WMI Installer by double-clicking wmi9x.exe.
3. Click Next to continue.
