Radio Unit R&S CRTU-RU Software / Firmware Structure

4 Software Update/Installing Options
This chapter contains information on extensions and modifications of the CRTU Radio Unit. The
handling of the GSM Operational Software CR02P2P and GSM Protocol Testing Test Packages is
described in the CR02P2P Software Manual. Information or manuals obtained together with a
software/firmware update of the CRTU Radio Unit or with additional hardware options can be fined at
the end of this chapter.
Software / Firmware Structure
The software / firmware for CRTU-RU consists of the following packages:
1. The Front Module Controller Bios (see section 4.7 on p. 4.7 ff.)
2. The CRTU-RU MS software (see section 4.8 on p. 4.8 ff.)
3. The GSM Protocol Testing, Windows 2000-based, Operational Software and Test Packages.
Installation and operation of the GSM Protocol Testing software is described in the CR02P2P
software manual.
Besides the firmware contains additional software tools for organizing the hard disk partitions, running
different software packages and generating images; see section
Maintaining and Restoring Hard Disk
Partitions on p. 4.5 ff. and operating manual for CRTU-G/S and CRTU-W. The software packages are
stored in different partitions of the CRTU-RU hard disk and can be booted separately in the
BootMagic™ startup menu; see Table 4-1 on p. 4.3.
Note: The CRTU Radio Unit does not have a boot drive for floppy disks or for CDs. So it is not
possible to boot from an external storage medium, e.g. a Windows Installation CD-ROM,
and reinstall software from scratch. A defective hard disk must be exchanged by a
programmed hard disk with a complete basic software installation on it (see part list in
chapter 5 for programmed exchange hard disks: current number 310). Replacement of the
hard disk is described in chapter 3, section
Replacing the Hard Disk in the FRONT
MODULE . In case of a faulty file system but properly working hard disk, it is possible to
restore the complete partition on that hard disk (see details in section Maintaining and
Restoring Hard Disk Partitions below).
Structures of Hard Disk Partitions
To improve software installation, maintenance and reliability a new partition structure on the CRTU-RU
hard disks has been introduced.
Detection of Different Hard Disk Structures
