The five software options GSM400/850/900/1800/1900-MS and the supplementary option GPRS for GSM MS (CMU-K42) are part of a single software package termed GSM MS, so they must be installed or updated together. They can be enabled and operated separately, see section Enabling Software Options on page 1.6. To install the GSM MS software proceed as follows: Switch off the CMU. Insert the flash disk into one of the two slots of the PCMCIA interface. Switch on the CMU. The installation is started automatically while the CMU performs its start-up procedure. To this end the VersionManager is called up (for a detailed description of the VersionManager refer to chapter 1 of the CMU operating manual or to the on-line help accessible via Info):

CMU-K20/-K21/-K22/-K23/-K24
Softkey no. 5 on the left softkey bar, Install software..., is used to install new software from an external storage medium. The CMU automatically recognizes the storage medium and indicates the corresponding slot number: Slot 0 or 1 denotes the left or right slot of the PCMCIA interface. If a floppy disk is used the menu option reads Install software version <version> from floppy. Press left softkey no. 5 (Install software...) to start the installation. If your storage medium contains several installation versions, the software version selection dialog is opened:
Use the rotary knob or the cursor keys to scroll the list and select the GSM MS version you intend to install. Press Install to start the installation. The installation is started. To be operable on your instrument, a network option must be combined with a compatible version of the CMU base software. Any base software version installed on the CMU hard disk can be combined with one or several network options to form an independent software configuration. If none of the configurations is compatible to the new GSM MS option, the VersionManager displays an error message and takes you back to the software selection dialog; see section Creating a new Software Configuration on page 1.4. Otherwise, the following upgrade selection dialog is opened:
1115.6088.12

CMU-K20/-K21/-K22/-K23/-K24
The upgrade selection dialog displays a list of base software versions that can be combined with the new GSM MS software. Select the appropriate base version and press Upgrade. The new GSM MS option is added to the configuration or updates the previous GSM MS version of the configuration. To indicate that the storage medium must be changed the CMU issues the Change volume message:
Change volume
If you wish to install or upgrade other software versions, press left softkey no 4 or 5 (Install next software...) or insert new storage medium into the PCMCIA slot or floppy disk drive and press Change disks. To finish the installation, remove all disks from the drive and press Finish installation.

CMU-K20/-K21/-K22/-K23/-K24
The VersionManager is closed and the CMU is rebooted. The new firmware options are now operational and listed in the Menu Select menu together with their version number. Besides, the last software configuration installed is automatically taken as the active one in the next measurement session.
Select a base software version that is compatible to your GSM MS software option and press Install. Note: As a rule, firmware versions for the base system and for network options are compatible if they differ only in the last digit. GSM firmware versions 3.10 to 3.19 (if available) can be run together with base system version 3.10 to 3.19 (if available).
With a new base software version, it is possible to either update an existing configuration or create a new one. A dialog selecting between the two alternatives is opened: 1115.6088.12 1.4 E-6
CMU-K20/-K21/-K22/-K23/-K24
Note:
This dialog is skipped if the new base software version is not compatible with any of the existing configurations. An incompatible new base software must be installed as a new base software.
If you wish to add a new configuration to your hard disk, press Install as new base. To upgrade an existing configuration with the selected base software version in order to make it compatible to the new GSM MS software option, press Upgrade existing version. The existing version to be upgraded must be selected in an additional dialog. The installation is performed as described in section Software Installation or Update. After adding the new base software as a new configuration or updating the existing configuration, the CMU displays the following screen:
Press left softkey no 4 or 5 (Install next software...) and proceed as described in section Software Installation or Update to install the new GSM MS version and assign it to the new configuration.

2 Getting Started
The following chapter presents a sample GSM mobile test with the universal radio communication tester CMU. It is intended to provide a quick overview of the function groups GSM400/850/900/1800/1900-MS Non Signalling and GSM400/850/900/1800/1900-MS Signalling and their functionality and to lead through some basic tests that are commonly performed on GSM mobile phones. Before starting any measurement with the CMU, please note the instructions given in chapter 1 of the operating manual for the CMU basic unit for putting the instrument into operation. In chapters 2 to 4 of that manual you will also find information on customizing the instrument and the display according to your personal preferences. For installation instructions for the GSM400/850/900/1800/1900 software (CMU-K21/-K22/-K23) refer to chapter 1 of the present manual. The tests reported below include Connection of the phone and selection of the GSM function group, Power and modulation measurements in Non Signalling mode, Selection and measurement of signalling parameters, BER tests. The steps to perform are explained on the left side of each double-page together with the results obtained on the CMU screen. On the right side, additional information is given. We also point out alternative settings and related measurements which could not be reported in detail. The principles of manual operation are discussed in chapter 3. For a systematic explanation of all menus, functions and parameters including GSM background information refer to the reference part in chapter 4.
