Running the installation program

To begin the installation, place the CD in the appropriate drive. If the PC is not set up with the
"Autorun" feature on the CD-drive, press the “Start” button and click on “Run”. Enter the

command
<CD-drive>:\Setup
and press “OK”.

Welcome

First the installation program displays some general information. Click Next to continue.

User information

Next the installation program prompts for your name and company. Click Next.

Installation directory

The installation program prompts you to select an installation directory. The default is
“C:\Program Files\Ericsson\Radio Control terminal". If you accept the default press Next,
otherwise select a new directory by using the Browse button.

Select components

Now you can choose which components to include in the installation. If the TIU is to be loaded
as well, select Tools also. If you want the User's Guide, the Quick Reference and this Technical

Guide on-line as well, select the Documentation files also. This dialog displays the amount of
disk space required as well as the available disk space.

8

When Next has been pressed, the installation program will check if there are any database files
on the hard drive. If there are, and the check box for database files is marked, a question will be

presented, asking if the database files on the hard drive shall be overwritten. If the answer is Yes
the files on the hard drive are renamed with the suffix _old.

Select program folder

Next the installation program prompts you to select a program folder in which to save the
program icons. The default is "Ericsson Radio Control Terminal". If you accept the default press
Next, otherwise enter a new name for the group.

Installation

The installation program now copies all necessary files to the specified directory. Finally, it
creates a new program group and places the program icons in it. At this point the installation is

complete. You should then read the “README.TXT” file, which contains additional
information about the products installed.

Setup complete

Now the installation of the RCT is complete. If "Tools" was installed, then it is possible to
choose if the TIU loader program shall be started. Click Finish to exit the installation program.

Chapter 5
Setting up the MD110 Radio Service

Provider

Select the “Telephony” (“Phone and Modem Options” for Win2000) applet in the "Control
Panel". Now the “Dialing Properties” dialogue appears. If the "Telephony drivers" (“Advanced”

for Win2000) tab is not shown, complete the "Dialing Properties" dialogue first and the tab will
appear. Select the “Telephony drivers” (“Advanced” for Win2000) tab and add the "RADIO
Service Provider" to the list of drivers by pressing "Add", selecting it and clicking on the “Add”
key once more.

When the new driver is installed press the “Configure” key in order to set it up. A configuration
dialogue appears. Set the “Connected port” setting to the serial port to which the TIU is
connected. When all settings are specified, press “OK”. Close the “Dialing Properties” dialogue.
The set-up is now completed.

MD110 Radio Service Provider Data

Modifications of the Radio Service Provider Data, also called position data, can be done after
the "MD110 Radio Service Provider" has been installed as described above.

The configuration dialog consists of seven different tab dialogs, which can be activated by
pressing the tabs.

All configuration data of the "MD110 Radio Service Provider” can be changed when the RCT
application is running, and changes in the configuration will be activated immediately after the

“OK” button has been pressed. The position configuration is stored in the Registry of each PC
under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key.

The Communication port

The “Com port” tab shows the Baud rate, and serial port settings. Note that the baud rate setting
cannot be altered.

Devices

In the “Devices” tab, there exist five “check boxes” representing external equipment. Check
each equipment so that this configuration matches the equipment connected to the TIU at this

position.
