Revision History Rev. 1.0, September-2012 8/41 Hardware User Guide, Document Number: N/A 2 Software Framework 2.1 Driver Installation 2.1.1 General Considerations The two different test and debug configurations always require a Win PC where up to five different drivers must be installed accurately. This are: 1. the Intel High Speed Modem Driver (ecm200), 2. the Comneon High Speed Modem Driver, 3. the Prolific serial to USB driver (part of the flash tool folder), 4. the Flash USB driver (part of the flash tool folder) and 5. the FTDI diver. Figure 1. Location of the Prolific serial to USB driver, the Flash USB driver and the FTDI diver within the flash tool folder. Pls note that Win does not always complain if the drivers 4 to 5 are not installed. If one of these drivers is missing flashing problems are occurring. The ARM software and LTE firmware releases are linked to individual driver revision numbers that were used for release testing. They were typically published together with the ARM software and the LTE firmware here:
Revision History Rev. 1.0, September-2012 9/41 Hardware User Guide, Document Number: N/A http://wiki.imu.imc.local/XG716_LTE_CV_Setup_versions The latest drivers can be found here: \\musdsara001.imu.imc.local\SW_builds\xmm6360\tools Or if something is missing here: \\musdsara001.imu.imc.local\SW_builds\xmm7060\Release\Tools Which is similar to M:\Software\XMM7060_tools at IMC DRS Flash Tool : \\musdsara001.imu.imc.local\SW_builds\xmm6360\tools\flashtool Socmondll : \\musdsara001.imu.imc.local\SW_builds\xmm7060\Release\Tools\Socmondll\socmondll_100.150.001.dll 2.1.2 Intel High Speed Modem Driver (ecm200) • Take the recommended driver, see Subsec. 2.1.1, (folder e.g. WMC_ecm200_3.61.0) and follow the instructions from the installation wizard. • Enable the IP forwarding: run the sriptenable_ip_forwarding.reg from: \\musdsara001.imu.imc.local\SW_builds\xmm7060\Release\Tools\Intel_High_Speed_Modem Hint: Copy the file to the local PC and then run it with root privileges. Now connect the cable to the USB-HS connector. Win XP asks now it’s typical questions and gets the common answers see below. Win 7 does not ask and loads the driver automatically.

Revision History Rev. 1.0, September-2012 15/41 Hardware User Guide, Document Number: N/A 2.1.2.2 Static IP Address Configuration • The given example IP number at Figure 12 is for a simplified test and debug setup, see Error! Reference source not found., where the octave or java client runs on the Win PC that also carries all necessary Win drivers and is connected to the DUT. The ecm200 driver runs in a subnet that is only visible from this PC. • The complete setup, see Error! Reference source not found., consists of test PCs that were provided together with recommended IP settings for the ecm200 driver. The static route settings were set typically IT system wide. • In case two PCs were used to run the tests, a test PC with the drivers and a desktop PC that carries the Octave or the Java client a static route must be set at the desktop PC. The example below helps to find proper static route settings: test PC with static IP: 10.1.0.126 ecm200 client at test PC with IP: 172.16.126.1 (client offset set to 1) run as root at the PC where the Octave is running on. route print #read out route settings route add 172.16.126.0 mask 255.255.255.0 10.1.0.126  test the configuration: ping 172.16.126.1 #response from the ecm200 driver ping 172.16.126.2 #response from the booted LTE-IP block (L1CC) • Reopen the Network Connection Properties Dialog.

CMW 500 In general it needs to be checked that CMW500 setup are identically to the reference. The components to be checked are : • The test scenario configurations (xml files) and • The firmware versions for the tester hardware itself. 3.1.1 CWM 500 Firmware The firmware version can be checked and maintained in the R&S Version Manager. Basic information on software update and installation with the R&S Version Manager is given in the "R&S CMW500 Protocol Testing" quick start guide (1202.3857.62). The R&S Version Manager help provides more details on R&S Version Manager functions and handling of software units. This document assumes that all required software units can be installed by the user.
Revision History Rev. 1.0, September-2012 29/41 Hardware User Guide, Document Number: N/A The R&S Version Manager can be opened via the START menu: Once opened there are two ways to verify similarity of firmware versions: by hand via stepping through the license options or by exporting the firmware (software status). The picture shows the version manager with the stepping through each firmware license: The next picture shows the menu from which the status export can be called: After this a pop-up window appears with three possible choices. Only the top one has to be selected as shown in the picture: After this the location of the status export file needs to be chosen. Once done the file can be compared to the reference file which is located under: ..\version\lab2\lab2_cfg.html 3.1.2 Test Scenario The test scenario ml_002 EPS - Bearer Setup is used for this setup and is contained by the SW option KF500 with MLAPI Example Scenarios. The path to the configuration directory is following: c:\Rohde-Schwarz\Scenarios\16.6_callSetup_1\APPL\MLAPI\LTE_SAMPLE_SCN\1.0\ml_002\msg
Revision History Rev. 1.0, September-2012 30/41 Hardware User Guide, Document Number: N/A The directory “msg” is part of the CDK delivery and contains several xml files. It has to be noted that the xml version of the xml files needs to be compliant to the installed tester firmware. Otherwise strange errors occur during test case execution! http://www2.rohde-schwarz.com/en/products/test_and_measurement/mobile_radio/CMW500-|-Demo-|-48-|-5420.html 3.1.3 AT Commands Network attach in CallBox Mode, LTE band 7. at+xact=6,2,1,107 at+cgdcont=1,"IP",”www.rohde-schwarz.com” This gives OK if the SIM cart is inserted accurately. at+cops=1,2,"00101",7 3.1.4 The Data Application Unit Install the Data Application Unit The Data Application Unit (DAU) package has to be installed on the CMW. In case the DAU hardware is populated, the software (SW) should already be installed as well. Check this in "SetupSW/HW-EquipmentInstalled software". Before installation: • Terminate the CMW BaseSW application – close the window with ‘X’ • In the task manager kill the process "ComponentEnvironmentServer_2.5.exe". Installation: • Install the DAU-SW package "SetupCMW_DAU_Support (Release)-V1.0.15.22" directly on the CMW. • Reboot the CMW device. Activate DHCP in Data Application Control After complete startup of the CMW BaseSW application, follow the steps below to configure the DAU for DHCP:
Revision History Rev. 1.0, September-2012 31/41 Hardware User Guide, Document Number: N/A Make sure your Router is connected to the "LAN DAU" ETH port at the back side of the CMW. Open the SETUP menu on the right side. Open the DAU configuration via menu: Data Appl. Control  Go to config Configure the DAU to use DHCP As shown on the screenshot, choose last check mark DHCPv4 from LAN (LAN DAU) for IPv4 Address Configuration Close the CMW BaseSW (ALT + F4) and start it again afterwards by a DoubleClick on the desktop link "CMW 1.0" After the restart, check the "DHCP Status" in the same window. A green light indicates that the DAU could acquire an IPv4 address via DHCP. Switching UPC from PPC (SUW) to DAU In order to let the scenario use the UPC (=Uplane Control) on the DAU (and not as per default on the PPC), two XML files have to be replaced in the topology: • sequencer.xml, • pipe.xml Copy these two files to C:\Rohde-Schwarz\Scenarios\16.6\APPL\MLAPI\rstopology\LTE\. NOTE: It is recommended to make a back-up of the original files before. Start the LTE scenario Start the LTE scenario now. During the Default EPS Bearer Setup the UE will get an IP address which was acquired by the DAU before.
Revision History Rev. 1.0, September-2012 32/41 Hardware User Guide, Document Number: N/A Manual DNS settings On the LTE host which connects to the internet, the DNS server has to be configured manually, because the DAU does not yet support automatic DNS provisioning (ask your IT).
