In the framework of GSM Protocol Testing the CRTU-RU MS software is only used for service purposes.

software. The CRTU-RU MS software is booted by selecting the
Service/WCDMA resp. DOS OPSW /
Service option in the BootMagic ™ menu.
The Correction Processor firmware is part of the CRTU-RU MS software. It is installed and activated
automatically during CRTU-RU MS software installation.
CRTU-RU MS Software Installation or Update
The CRTU-RU MS software is loaded or updated using the instrument's PCMCIA INTERFACE. The
software update is considerably facilitated by the
VersionManager . This tool enables convenient
installation, deletion and activation of different software versions. It also permits to perform a firmware
update of modules after module replacement (see chapter 2,
Automatic Adjustment of Module Data) .
The CRTU Radio Unit is always supplied with the latest software version including the
VersionManager .
Note: The newest CRTU software is also available for download on the R&S Lotus Notes Service
Board.
The PCMCIA INTERFACE provides two drive slots. Both slots can be used for a software update. On
start-up, the CRTU Radio Unit automatically searches for an installation medium in both slots. The flash
disks and the hard disk (type 3) have a small groove on one side; the disks are to be inserted into the
drive slot with the groove pointing upwards. Hard disks can be inserted into the right drive slot (Slot 0)
only .
To perform the software update, the instrument must be switched off, then the software update flash
disk or hard disk must be inserted into the PCMCIA INTERFACE and the instrument switched on. If the
CRTU-RU detects an update flash disk/hard disk in one of the two PCMCIA slots, the
VersionManager
is started:
