Check Authentication for HiSilicon Devices

HiSilicon devices include commercial terminals and test terminals. Only authenticated test terminals can be

used for test.

After installing the driver, users may open the device manager to check the port. If there is only one or

two ports, then the device is a commercial device.

If all the related ports are well detected, then open the agent and click the second tab page. If

Connectedis displayed under Status, the device is authenticated and can be used for test.

Enable Engineering Mode for Quanta D1

To enable engineering mode for Quanta D1, do as follows:

For Windows XP: Connect D1 to the PC. Run HyperTerminal, enter the ATcommand, and the

system returns response with OK. Enter AT*QMODE=3,1, and then the system returns response

with OK.

For Windows 7: Download HyperTerminal, and refer to the steps described in the Windows XP

environment after installation.

1. Users need to uninstall the previous version of Pilot Pioneer before installing a later version. If GIS isstill abnormal, the possible reason is that the GIS control is not registered successfully. Users may

double click RegComList.exein the installation path of the pilot pioneer for manual registration.

2. By default, Pilot Pioneer may save RCU data files in the .ddib format, which can be used for

statistics and analysis. Users may choose Record> RecordConfiguration, and click Advanceto

set whether to save RCU data files.

3. Data files in the .ddib format cannot be divided by size currently.

4. After merging/dividing data files, no user-prompt success information is displayed currently.

Pilot Pioneer needs to send commands to the device to enable the USB Network Sharing mode for automatic

device detection. A network adapter will be mapped in the PC system for the device, and the PC system will

perform automatic detection, that is, to load the device. If users connect the device before the device is

completely loaded, no information may be displayed on the interface.

Attention on Samsung S3 (ADB) Connection to Pilot Pioneer



46/47

Keep the USB Tethering option disabled before connecting Samsung S3 to Pilot Pioneer and do not

modify it during service test.

If no device is detected, do as follows:

1. Check if any Android management tool (such as Snap Pea) on the phone is running? Make sure to

turn it off before test.

2. Check if ROOT software/tool is installed on the Android phone, as the ROOT tool will generate

some dynamic databases that may conflict with those of Pilot Pioneer (such as AdbWinUsbApi.dll,

AdbWinApi.dll, and adb.exe).

If the problem is caused by the installation of ROOT tool, there are two methods to solve the problem.

a. Uninstall ROOT and restart the PC.b. Copy the three dynamic databases mentioned above to the ADB file in the Pilot Pioneer

installation path (\Program Files\DingLi\Pilot Pioneer9.1.*.****\ADB\) to replace the existed ones.
