1 Introduction The Diversity and NetQual NQDI 13.0.0 Installation Manual describes how to install and to configure Diversity and NetQual software from the installation CDs.

Note: For a description on to install this software from a SwissQual factory image, see the Manual - Backup and Restore.pdf document.

Overview The Diversity software suite contains programs to create, to control, and to perform network measurements.

Figure 1-1 Diversity system overview

Typically, a Diversity Benchmarker system consists of a controlling PC, for example, a laptop, a Control Base Module (CBM), and one or more PC Modules (PCM) that operate measurement devices such as data cards, scanners, and mobile phones. However, you can also run the Optimizer version of Diversity on a standalone computer that you attach one or more measurement devices to.

Note: For information on Diversity hardware, see the Manual - Diversity Hardware.pdf document.

Diversity Software The Diversity setup program installs the following software to control and to operate Diversity PCMs and measurement devices:

• Controlling PC (PC, Laptop, or Tablet PC): Configures, controls, and monitors a SwissQual Diversity or QualiPoc measurement system.

• Diversity Optimizer (PC, Laptop, or Tablet PC): Configures, controls, monitors, and operates a Diversity Optimizer system. This package contains QuickTime, RealPlayer, the reference file samples for measurement tests, and Diversity Supervisor, which you can use to access Measurement Control, Measurement Engine, and Device Manager.

• NQView Replay (PC, Laptop, or Tablet PC): Standalone player that you can use to monitor the playback of SwissQual measurement files. You cannot configure measurement tasks or monitor

measurements in real time with this version of NQView.

• Diversity Benchmarker (PCM): Operating software for a PC Module (PCM). This package also contains the reference file samples for measurement tests and Diversity Supervisor, which you can use to access Measurement Control, Measurement Engine, and Device Manager.

• Diversity Remote Controlled (PCM): Operating software for a PCM in a Diversity system that uses an RLM module to provide a wireless connection to the controlling PC. This package also contains the reference file samples for measurement tests and Diversity Supervisor, which you can use to access Measurement Control, Measurement Engine, and Device Manager.

• Diversity Ranger (MPM): Operating software for a Diversity Ranger Measurement Processing Module (MPM). This package also contains the reference file samples for measurement tests and Diversity Supervisor, which you can use to access Measurement Control, Measurement Engine, and Device Manager.

• Diversity Explorer: Operating software for a Diversity Explorer unit. This package also contains the reference file samples for measurement tests and Diversity Supervisor, which you can use to access Measurement Control, Measurement Engine, and Device Manager.

NetQual NQDI Post-Processing Software NQDI is the SwissQual post-processing application that you can to analyse measurement data from Diversity and QualiPoc systems.

NQDI provides a detailed analysis of the quality of voice, video, and data services using primary RF measurements, network trace events and call control parameters for all radio technologies. For more information on NQDI, see the Manual - NQDI.pdf document.

Third Party Software When required, the Diversity setup program also installs the following third party software to test audio and video streaming:

• QuickTime

• RealPlayer

System Requirements

• Supported Operating Systems: Windows 7 with administrative rights, and the locale set to English

Important: To set the locale to English, open Regional and Language Options in Control Panel, click the Regional Options tab, and select an English location in the drop-down box. If you intend to use a software firewall with Windows, you need to open up the ports for the Diversity software components. The text size on your screen must be set to Smaller - 100% (default) on the Display Control Panel.

• Computer with CoreDuo or faster processor

• Minimum of 2 GB of RAM

Important: If you want to run NetQual NQView, you need 1 GB of RAM for best results.

• Supported hard disk format: NTFS

Prerequisite Software • MapInfo MapX: Only required if you want to use the Map monitor in NQView. • MapInfo Professional: Only required by NQDI if you want to use the mapping feature of the

application.




7

• Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel 2003 SP1 or higher: NQDI supports the English, French, and German versions of Microsoft Office. For information on other languages, contact SwissQual support.

• SQL Server 2005, 2008, and 2012: Required by NQView and NQView Replay. You can install SQL server on the controlling PC, an external PC, or on the last PCM at the opposite end of the CBM in a Diversity CU. You cannot run the SQL server software on a PCM that controls an MCM or a PCI PIM. You must install the English language version of the software. For a description on how to install SQL server 2005 and 2008, see the Installation - MS SQL 2005.pdf and Installation - MS SQL 2008.pdf documents.

Note: You do not need to preinstall SQL server for Diversity Optimizer as the installation package includes SQL Server 2005 Express.

• Windows Drivers: You need to install the relevant driver for your measurement device on the PC that the device is connected to, for example, a PCM.

Note: To use an optional PSTN or ISDN interface board in your system, you need to install the appropriate Windows driver as well. For a description of the boards that Diversity supports, see the Installation - PCI Telephony Boards.pdf document.

Installing PCM, MPM, and Diversity Explorer Software The following sections describe how to install the Diversity operating software, that is, Diversity Core, on a Benchmarker PCM, a Ranger MPM, and a Diversity Explorer unit.

Note: The core software includes the FileZilla FTP server, which uses port 990 to listen for implicit SSL/TLS connections. Although you can change this port in the FileZilla Server Interface settings, the next Diversity update will overwrite the settings. You open the FileZilla Server Interface in the following location: C:\Program Files\SwissQual\Diversity\FileZilla Server\.

Before you begin, you need to copy the Diversity installation folder to the hard drive of the PCM. One method to copy the folder is to use TightVNC, Windows Remote Desktop, TeamViewer, or LogMeIn; otherwise you can use a USB stick to transfer the folder to the PCM. For the latter operation you also need a monitor, a keyboard, and a mouse.

Diversity Benchmarker and Remote Controlled Packages The Benchmarker package installs the software to operate a Diversity PCM. In addition to this software, the Remote Controlled package installs software to enable remote access to the PCM.

To install Diversity Benchmarker or Remote Controlled on a PCM 1. Prepare the PCM for the installation.

a Copy the Diversity installation folder to a USB hard drive.

b Connect the hard drive to a USB port on the PCM.

c Attach a monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the PCM.

Note: If you need to use a USB hub, do not connect the external hard drive to the hub.

2. Log on as administrator, locate, and then double-click the Setup.exe file in the Diversity installation folder.

3. On the Setup Type page, click one of the following in the list, and then click Next:

• Diversity Benchmarker
