2 Requirements

This chapter summarizes the requirements in order to install and

use the 9955 RNP V7.1.0. Please check whether you meet all
requirements before trying to install the 9955 RNP. This chapter
is divided into the following sections:
■ Hardware Requirements
■ Software Requirements
■ Access Requirements
■ Network Requirements

2.1 Hardware Requirements

2.1.1 Workstation and Server

Requirements The following table lists the recommended minimum hardware
requirements for a workstation PC (for any configuration) and for
a server PC (for standard and large multi-user configurations).

Table 1: Recommended hardware configuration for 9955 RNP V7.1.0

Workstation Server
CPU Dual-core or better
RAM 2 GB or more 4 GB or more
Graphics adapter 1280 x 1024 pixels, True or High Colors

Screen 19 inch 19 inch (Optional)

data and local path loss matrices, if any) for RNP data. (refer to Error! Reference
source not found.)
Optical drive DVD writer

Interface for dongle USB

Network adapter Yes

3DF 01955 7181 RJZZA Ed. 01 9/60

Requirements

Initial The 9955 RNP has very low initial requirements, so it will run on
Requirements nearly any PC, although with low speed. In order to achieve
reasonable calculation times, it is recommended to go for the
recommended configuration.

CPU is more important than RAM

NOTICE
When doing calculations, the 9955 RNP uses the full performance
of the CPU, but not all the available RAM. This can be verified
with the Windows Task Manager.
When trying to accelerate the calculations of the 9955 RNP,
normally not more RAM is the solution, but a faster CPU.

2.1.2 Peripheral Devices

The following devices are recommended, although not strictly
mandatory:
► Ink or laser color printer, connected through LAN (RJ45)
► A0 plotter, connected through LAN (RJ45)
► DVD writer or other backup device for server

2.1.3 Protection Key for 9955

Dongle Required The 9955 RNP is licensed with a hardware protection key (HWPK,
dongle). You definitely need such a key in order to run the 9955
RNP.
How to Get the Ask the 9955 RNP RadioTools Support how to get the dongle. The
Dongle dongle will contain information about the licensed modules as
well as for the license period (temporary or standard).
Dongle Options Dongles can be connected to the USB port of a computer. They
can either act as individual dongle for this computer or as
network dongle for this and other computers on the network.
So there are two different dongle options:
► individual dongle
► network dongle

Specify the dongle type you need

NOTE
As these dongles are different, it is necessary to state exactly the
required option when ordering the 9955 RNP V7.1.0.

10/60 3DF 01955 7181 RJZZA Ed. 01

How Dongles Work The 9955 RNP uses this device as licensing key as it checks its
presence during the launch of the tool and in irregular intervals
during the operation.

Conditions for USB dongles

WARNING
In order to use a USB dongle, you need an USB port and an USB
driver.
Please check carefully before ordering a USB dongle.

Commercial Please note that there are commercial and technical conditions
Conditions involved for network dongles.
A network dongle will only be delivered for five or more licenses
of a customer. It is not allowed to use the network dongle if the
license server and the license client are located in different
countries.

Latency times on IP network

WARNING
The network dongle requires an IP network with suitable response
times. Latency can cause the license server not to work properly.
More information about dongle handling can be found in
chapter 3.13.

Requirements

2.2 Disk Space Requirements

Refer to 9955 RNP V7.1 Engineering Rules [5] for more details on
disk space calculation.

Do some Maths The amount of disk space required for data obviously depends on
the project, mostly on planning area, pixels size and number of
before!
cells. In networks with few cells, the planning area is driving the
required amount of disk space, in networks with many cells, the
number of cells is more important. Pixel size is a factor in any
case.
Raster Files for The file size for raster maps (height, clutter, traffic density,
Planning Area images) and network-wide prediction results does not depend on
the number of cells, only on the size of the planning area in
pixels.
Please note the following:
► Clutter maps take 1 or 2 bytes per pixel
► Background images take 1 or 2 bytes per pixels
► Traffic maps take 1 or 2 bytes per pixels
► Height maps take 2 bytes per pixel
► 9955 predictions take 2 bytes per pixel
So if you go for one clutter map, one height map, one traffic
map, one background image and seven prediction results, you
must estimate 19 to 22 bytes per pixel.
Cell-specific The more cells there are in the network, the more important is to
Results take into account the disk space required by the cell-specific
propagation predictions. Here again, cell area and pixel size is
important. Cell-specific results take 2 bytes per pixel.
Database Tables The ATL file keeps the database tables as well as numerical
results. An empty ATL file will have less than 100 KB. Each
additional site will need between 1 KB and 2 KB more in the ATL-
file, which is negligible compared to the size of the propagation
result in the order of 2 MB.
Example Question A network for a city has to be planned. The planning area is
30x30 km, the pixel size (map resolution, also used for
prediction) is 20 m. How much disk space should be planned for
100 sites?
Example Answer The planning area has 1500 x1500 pixels (30000 m / 20 m),
resulting in 22.5 MPixels. Taking 22 bytes per pixel, you must
estimate around 50 MB for maps and network-wide predictions. In
a city, a calculation range of 10 km should be sufficient, resulting
in cell areas of 20x20 km, meaning 1 MPixel or 2 MB per cell.
100 sites are about 300 cells, so you must add 600 MB for the cell-
specific results. Database tables, numerical results, simulation
12/60 3DF 01955 7181 RJZZA Ed. 01
 results and the like can be neglected compared to this. You
should make sure that you have at least 700 MB free on your
partition.

Maps can be on other partitions

NOTE
Please note that network-wide prediction results are stored in
the ATL-file and that cell-specific propagation results are stored
either in the ATL-file or separately in the LOSSES-folder. These
space-consuming files have to be on the same partition.
Maps, however, can be linked from files that may be on different
partitions, different drives or even different computers. So you
may distribute your disk space requirements.

Rule of Thumb As a first guess, you may estimate the required disk space for a
project by adding
► 25 bytes per pixel of the planning area
► 2 MB per cell (equivalent to 6 MB per 3-sector site)
Certainly, you should do more precise calculation, in case you are
just at the limit of your hard disk or if you have special
requirements in terms of pixel size or calculation range.

Keep some space for alternatives

NOTE
Please don't forget to reserve some space for the calculation of
alternative network designs. This will require disk space for the
calculation results (cell-specific and network-wide), but not for
the maps if they are linked instead of being embedded in the
ATL-file.

Requirements

2.3 Software Requirements

2.3.1 Operating System

Supported OS The 9955 V7.1.0 runs on the following Microsoft operating
systems:
► Windows Server 2003
► Windows Server 2008
► Windows XP (32 / 64 bits - SP3 recommended)
► Windows 7 (32 / 64 bits)
A full OS installation is recommended in order to have all
components (like Wingdings3 fonts) available.
The 9955 setup will install the application under Windows Vista
(32 /64 bits) too although it is not recommended to use it on this
OS. The 9955 was not tested on Windows Vista, thus no support is
guaranteed.
In case of issues with 64 bits installation please firstly install the
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package for 64 bits
(vcredist_x64, available in the 9955 RNP installation CD at the
.\Misc\Utilities\vcredist\ folder or at Microsoft )

MDAC version If the MDAC version on your PC is lower than 2.7, you should
install a newer version (available in the 9955 RNP installation CD
at the .\Misc\Utilities\MDAC\ folder or at Microsoft) in order to
allow communications with databases.

Regional Settings The regional settings should use Latin character fonts; other
settings might work, but there can be no hotline support
guaranteed for them.

Most of the 9955 RNP modules need the Microsoft .NET framework
MS.NET (Version 2.0) installed. If not already installed on the system,
framework MS.NET framework will be installed together with 9955 RNP
application.
In case of problems, you may also get it from Microsoft e.g. at:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0856eacb-4362-
4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&displaylang=en
or ask the RadioTools Support (see chapter 9.2).

14/60 3DF 01955 7181 RJZZA Ed. 01

Not supported OSs The following Microsoft operating systems are not supported:
► Windows 95
► Windows 98
► Windows ME
► Windows NT 4.0
The 9955 RNP setup will not install the application under these
OSs.

2.3.2 Licensing Software

Individual Dongle
Network Dongle
The licensing software that drives the communication between
9955 RNP and the dongle depends on whether you use an
individual dongle or a network dongle.
For dongles on your workstation, the Sentinel software from
Rainbow Technologies Inc. is used. This software is installed
during the installation of 9955 RNP and will be activated after a
reboot of your PC.
For dongles on a license server in the network, the HASP Software
from Aladdin is used. You can find it on the installation CD-ROM
in the subdirectory .\Misc\Utilities\NetHASP; read the readme.txt
files provided with the HASP license manager and HASP driver for
detailed information on how to install and configure the license
server.
Concerning license utilities for retrieving information in order to
order a new or extended license for 9955 RNP or one of its
modules, please refer to chapter 2.6.

2.3.3 Other Software

Recommended It is recommended to have the following software available in
additional SW addition to the 9955 RNP:
► MS Excel might be useful for import and export of tabular
data.
► MS Access in order to modify the project templates, if
required. For PRC-Generator MS Access 2003 is required.
► Acrobat Reader (is available in the Misc\AcrobatReader folder
on the installation CD-ROM) to display the electronic version
of the user documentation.
► Image processing software to cut out and post-process
screen shots.
► E-Mail client in order to get into contact with the 9955
support.

3DF 01955 7181 RJZZA Ed. 01 15/60

Requirements
► RDBMS if you want to install a multi-user environment. The
following relational database management systems are
currently supported (via ODBC):
● MS Access (recommended)
● MS SQL Server
● Oracle
● Sybase
Conflicting SW Any other additional SW installed on a 9955 RNP work station may
occupy resources that affect the performance of 9955. This
especially holds for services that are running on networked
computers.
Such additional SW’s impact should in general not exceed 3%
consumption of the CPU, RAM, and disk space resources of the
planning PC in order not to harm the RNP process.
Be careful with For example the implementation of an SNMP agent should be
SNMP carefully evaluated.
Corresponding installation as well as integration / inter-working
tests with the 9955 RNP application are under the responsibility
of the customer and not in the scope of the 9955 RNP support.

16/60 3DF 01955 7181 RJZZA Ed. 01

 2.4 Access-Rights Requirements
Administrator Administrator permissions are required for the installation of the
Permissions 9955 RNP, in order to install the dongle driver and maybe
calculation server. Also for the login after the necessary reboot
you need administrator rights in order to complete the
installation with libraries that were in use during the first
installation step.
Your permissions on your PC are coupled to your account. Please
contact your local IT support if in doubt.
Only First Time Later updates and upgrades of 9955 RNP do not require
administrator permissions, unless a new dongle driver version has
to be installed.

2.5 Network Requirements

Stand-alone For a standalone installation of 9955, no network is required,
Installation obviously.
Multi-User In a multi-user environment, all users must have read-write
Installation access to a common directory on the network.
Network Dongle If a network dongle is used, you need to have an IP connection to
the machine which runs the license server.

2.6 Licenses
For using the 9955 RNP and its components, the licensing is
mandatory.
In general you will need a tool license for running the 9955 RNP
(this license also includes the one for the “9955 RNP AFP”
module) and additional optional licenses for the modules like
ProMan, WallMan (the Urban Propagation Model), PRC-Generator
and RNP2OMC for LTE.

2.6.1 General 9955 Tool License

There are two possibilities to manage 9955 tool licenses:
Dongle License One is based on one fixed dongle (hardware protection key, HWK)
per license, where you have to plug a dongle at each client you
are working on (see chapter 2.1.3)
Floating License The other possibility is to use a floating license manager, where
is plugged one dongle on a license server with a pool of licenses,
a list of IP addresses (or a restricted IP address room) of clients
that may use them, and a special software managing the license
assignment (HASP license manager, see chapter 2.3.2). In the

3DF 01955 7181 RJZZA Ed. 01 17/60

Requirements
dongle plugged on the license server all the information about
number of general licenses and the number of licenses for a
certain module are saved.
Anyway you need a license and you should ask the 9955 RNP
RadioTools Support for that, specifying what kind of license you
need and which kind of dongle you prefer.
On the client side a plugged dongle is always taken into account
first. If no dongle is found, 9955 makes either a broadcast on the
LAN/WAN or directly accesses one specific server specified in a
configuration file.
Independent of the number of kind of license mechanism, only
one license is consumed per client, even if more instances of
9955 are running there.
Fixed licenses should be used if there is a small number of users
(≤ 5) and in case of foreseen mobility of users (laptop outside the
LAN).
Floating licenses should be used if there is a big number of users
(≥ 5), if there is a high fluctuation on hired staff (no risk of
dongle drain), and if there are more potential users than bought
licenses. Please note that a total of five licenses are the
minimum for floating licenses whilst there is no explicit upper
limit.
Mixed Approach It is also possible to use a fixed/floating approach, where for
example 5 fixed licenses and 20 floating license are used in a
project.
License Check In the Program Directory you will find a utility program Lic.exe.
Status This program will give you details about the dongle on your PC
like: dongle number, dongle type, remaining time till new
activation and the available modules.
In the "Current Profile Summary" window you have the following
information: the "M:"-Field will show the licensed modules code
"[3b.0.0.0]", the T: field will show the next expiry date, and the
"R:" field will show the duration between two consecutive
activation campaigns.
Using the Load button you may search for the ALIC license file
you received for updating a license. Just double clicking on the
*.alic file in Windows Explorer should do the update
automatically.

2.6.2 Alcatel-Lucent AFP License

Alcatel-Lucent’s Automatic Frequency Planning module for 9955
9955 AFP License RNP (9955 RNP AFP) is available since version 6.5. It supports all
included Alcatel-Lucent cell-types, frequency groups and hopping
networks. If you ordered 9955 RNP, the 9955 AFP license is
automatically included in the general 9955 RNP license, and
there is no additional fee for licensing this module.
18/60 3DF 01955 7181 RJZZA Ed. 01
 Modules Together with the 9955 RNP AFP module there also come some
add-ins co/adjacent channel evaluation, graphical frequency
distribution visualization and power handling that are also
included in the 9955 RNP AFP license.

2.6.3 PRC-Generator License

The PRC Generator module is the data bridge between the 9955
Radio Network Planning tool and the Alcatel-Lucent GSM OMC-R.

PRC-Generator Starting with version V3.6, PRC Generator requires a license in

order to be used.
License
The user must send a key generated by the tool, to the support
team (see chapter 9.2), and based on that key a license is
generated and resend back to the user. The key is hardware
linked and cannot be reused among machines.
The license is generated for a specific number of days. Using that
license, the user can start and use the tool.

2.6.4 RNP2OMC for LTE License

The RNP2OMC for LTE module is designed by Alcatel-Lucent to
exchange data configuration between 9955 Radio Network
Planning tool and XMS.
RNP2OMC for LTE The RNP2OMC for LTE requires a license in order to be used.
License The user must send a key generated by the tool, to the support
team (see chapter 9.2), and based on that key a license is
generated and resend back to the user. The license (xml file) has
to be loaded into the tool to be activated. The key is hardware
linked and cannot be reused among machines.
The license is generated for a specific number of days. Using that
license, the user can start and use the tool.

2.6.5 WinProp (ProMan and WallMan) License

The WinProp module is needed if you intend to perform empirical
or deterministic Macro-, Mini-, and Micro-cell predictions using a
building database. It provides e.g. COST 231 Walfish-Ikegami,
2x2D ray-tracing, 3D ray-tracing and UDP algorithms.
WinProp License Here licensing is a bit different: you order the license at Alcatel-
Lucent (e.g. via the 9955 RNP RadioTools Support – see chapter
9.2) and you will get a license file dedicated to the network
adapter (MAC address) of your planning computer - that means
you cannot just transfer it from one PC to another – think about
on which computer you are going to use it before applying for the
WinProp license.

3DF 01955 7181 RJZZA Ed. 01 19/60

Requirements
After the installation, in the .\Modules\ProMan folder there is a
utility called LicenseCustomer.exe which is needed for retrieving
the information necessary for ordering a WinProp (ProMan and
WallMan) License .
For ordering and setting up the ProMan license, please apply the
following procedure:
1. Run LicenseCustomer.exe (you can find this utility in the
Program directory) and a binary file License.DAT.<hostname>
is created.
2. Send the DAT-file to the 9955 RNP RadioTools Support.
3. After receiving the ‘License.AWE’ license file store it on the
target computer. Although by default, ProMan expects this
file to be located in the C:\ProMan folder, you may use any
directory of your choice, provided that you also set the
WINPROP_LICENSE_FILE environment variable, as described
in the following step.
4. In ‘System Properties’ tab, set the System (for all users)
and/or User (for the current user only) variable
WINPROP_LICENSE_FILE according to the path where the
license file is located. By default, ProMan installation will
set this variable to C:\ProMan, which is the default location
for the ‘License.AWE’ file, in order to ensure that it is not
dependent of the Program Directory.

2.6.6 Ordering and Updating the 9955 License

Ordering You need to order a tool license if you get 9955 RNP for the first
time; please contact the 9955 RNP RadioTools Support (see
chapter 9.2).

2.6.7 Upgrading Modules

If you get an upgrade of a 9955 RNP V7.1.0 module only (any of
the 9955 RNP modules) without a new 9955 RNP release, you have
to:
For WinProp (ProMan and WallMan): unregister the old DLLs, copy
the new DLLs concerned to the 9955 RNP modules folder (see
chapter), overwriting the old ones and register them. To
register/unregister WinProp DLLs you have to open a Command
Prompt, go to the WinProp folder (ProMan folder and WallMan
folder) and run:
- to uninstall WinProp: regsvr32 /u WinpropUrbanIRT.dll
regsvr32 /u WinpropUrban.dll
- to install WinProp: regsvr32 WinpropUrbanIRT.dll
regsvr32 WinpropUrban.dll
For AFP, RMS, PowerHandling, RNP2OMCforLTE modules you
have to unregister the old DLLs files by running the
uninstall_addins.bat file located in Modules folder. After this
copy the new DLLs in the corresponding folder (AFP, RMS,
PowerHandling, RNP2OMCforLTE) and register them by running
the install_addin.bat file located in Modules folder.

Detailed Knowledge
If you should receive an update of an 9955 RNP module like
ProMan, WallMan, AFP, RMS, PowerHandling, RNP2OMCforLTE or
of an add-in (like FreqDistAddin), in addition to replacing the old
DLL you also have to register them (see chapter 2.6.7).

3.12 Calculation Server

The calculation server is a service running on your local machine
and providing calculation resources for other 9955 RNP users for
remote calculation of path-loss matrices.
Default settings If you should have the calculation server installed, it will
may not work normally automatically run under a local user account and may
not have sufficient access rights for reading Geo data or writing
path-loss results to a shared network drive.
Therefore it is recommended to do some manual system editing
for customization:
Edit the service Use the START menu of your Windows operation system to reach
properties the services administration:
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services
> Services (local) > 9955 Calculation Server > Right mouse
properties
In the log-on tab you enter the account data you are normally
using when working and having access to the common network.

3.13 Dongle Driver

Automatic The sentinel driver for the hardware protection key (dongle) is
Installation automatically installed during the (typical) installation of 9955
RNP. You will need administrator permissions for this.
Manual If the dongle driver is not recognized anymore, a manual
Installation installation could fix the problem. The driver exe file can be
found in the 9955 RNP installation folder, Sentinel folder.
Automatic When you install newer versions of 9955 RNP, a new driver will
Upgrade only be installed when required, that is if a newer version of the
driver is available.
Reboot After you install the dongle driver (first installation of 9955 RNP
or update of the driver) you need to reboot your PC before you
start working with 9955 RNP. The installation procedure will give
you the choice to reboot your PC immediately or to reboot it at a
later time.
License Manager Please note that there is the possibility to handle the licensing by
a license manager with a network dongle. This has the advantage
that your USB port is kept free. The disadvantage is that you will
not be able to run 9955 RNP disconnected from the network.

4 Normal Installation of 9955 V7.1.0

4.1 Installation Procedure

Installation In most cases you will have an installation CD. In some cases, the
Medium installation files may be on a network server. If you should have a
zip archive containing the installation package, please extract it
to an empty folder while preserving the folder structure. In any
case, just open the main directory that contains the installation
files.
Installation To launch the installation program, double-click on
Program 9955Setup.exe. The Welcome to InstallShield Wizard window
Installation appears.
Components
The installation consists of several components, which are partly
mandatory, partly recommended and partly optional.
The following list describes the available components:
► Program Files: These files are mandatory for 9955 RNP and
will be always installed also if checking the dongle driver or
calculation server option in the custom case.
► Modules: The modules developed by Alcatel-Lucent are
always installed. Every module has its own folder as
explained in chapter 3.4. The information related with the
licenses for these modules can be found in chapter 2.6.
► ProMan: This module provides the Urban Propagation Model
by AWE as a plug-in to 9955 RNP. It supports empirical (COST
231…), deterministic (ray-tracing), and hybrid predictions
based on a building database for Macro-, Mini-, and Micro-
cells. The corresponding DLL files are copied to the Program
directory. An extra license is required and has to be ordered
at Alcatel-Lucent (see chapter 2.6.5).

32/60 3DF 01955 7181 RJZZA Ed. 01


.NET Installation
3DF 01955 7181 RJZZA Ed. 01
► WallMan: This module provides preprocessed databases as
inputs for the ProMan Module. An extra license is required
and has to be ordered at Alcatel-Lucent (see chapter 2.6.5).
► User Documentation: There are several PDF-files that hold
the user documentation. These files are not necessary for the
operation of 9955 RNP, but may be useful. They are installed
in the typical installation, but not in the compact one.
► Development Kit: This component will be located in a
subdirectory called API. The installation is only recommended
if you want to program your own propagation models, which
requires certain skills. You may safely decide not to install it.
In case you really need it at a later time, it can be installed
at any time.
► Calculation Server: The calculation server provides a service
that can be used by other 9955 RNP users for remote
calculation of path-loss matrices. A manual adaptation of the
service properties will probably be necessary for proper
working (see chapter 3.12).
► Sentinel: You will need the dongle driver software (see
chapter 3.13) if you install the 9955 RNP for the first time.
► Copy PRC-Generator Setup: If this option is selected during
installation (see chapter 3.7), the PRC-Generator setup
executable is just copied to the PRC-Gen subfolder of the
Program directory, but not installed.
In case of any issue, please contact the 9955 RNP RadioTools
Support team (see chapter 9.2).
► Antenna Sets: If the “Antenna sets” option is selected, there
will be sets of patterns for Alcatel-Lucent default antennas
copied to the AntennaSets folder. There are sets for GSM 900,
GSM 1800, UMTS, Multiband, Wimax and LTE.
► Procalis Module: If the Procalis Module is selected during a
Custom Installation. Procalis (Propagation Calibration
Studies) brings new propagation models along with the
possibility to calibrate these models, and perform prediction
studies.
For some of the 9955 RNP modules, the installation of Microsoft
.NET framework is needed. If version 2.0 of the .NET framework
is not present on your system, the setup will ask you to confirm
the installation, but you may also refuse it, if you have a previous
version, or like to postpone the installation for a later time.
If you agree, .NET installation may take some time to finish, or
there may appear some error messages in case of conflicts with a
previous installation. In the latter case, just confirm the error
and continue with the rest of the 9955 RNP installation. You may
33/60
Normal Installation of 9955 V7.1.0
ask the 9955 RNP RadioTools Support (chapter 9.2) for help on
the topic.
In case of a successful .NET installation, you will get a message
box and the 9955 RNP installation will continue after you
confirm. The 9955 RNP setup may reboot the system at this
phase, and then resume the setup process automatically after the
reboot completes.
Setup Type The next dialog will ask you for the setup type and will offer you
three choices (the program files are installed in any case):
► Typical. This will install, besides the main application, the
Antenna Sets, the following modules and addins developed by
Alcatel-Lucent: AFP, RMS, RNP2OMC for LTE, PowerHandling,
Frequency Distribution Addin; WinProp plug-ins and the dongle
driver. The installations of the Development Kit, Calculation
Server, Procalis, PRC-Generator, Google Earth and Best Signal
Level Addins will be left out.
► Compact. This option will install only the Dongle Driver and
no other modules, thus saving disk space. If needed later,
any additional component can be installed separately via the
custom installation.
► Custom. Here you can select which 9955 RNP components
you want to have installed, besides the main application.

Each component will be installed with its corresponding user

documentation.

The following table summarizes the components of the three

installation options:

Installation The next dialog is used to select the directory in which 9955 RNP
Directory shall be installed. Use the “Browse” button to change directories
or drives. If the directory doesn’t exist yet, 9955 RNP will create
34/60 3DF 01955 7181 RJZZA Ed. 01
 it for you.
If this directory already exists and already holds 9955 RNP
installation files, the existing files will be overwritten by the files
from CD (even if they are marked read-only). Other files will not
be touched.
The installation directory is for program files only. Data files can
be placed anywhere on your disk.
Select a directory of your choice and then click on “Next”.
Custom If you select the Custom Installation, another screen will appear
Installation that gives you the possibility to define whether or not the
optional components shall be installed. The “Program Files”
option cannot be disabled and will be installed in any case. The
User documentation will only be copied to disk for the selected
modules.
This screen will not appear if you select the Typical or the
Compact Installation.
Installation After choosing the Setup Type (and the desired components in
Summary case of Custom Installation) the Installation Summary dialog will
appear, displaying a list with the installation settings and the
components that are about to be installed.
At this time, you may still change any of the installation options,
by pressing the “Back” button. By pressing “Next” you confirm
the settings, and the 9955 setup will begin the installation
process.

Copying Files Now, after it is defined which components are to be installed

(either explicitly in the Custom Installation or implicitly in the
Compact or Typical Installation), the installation procedure will
copy the required files into the selected directory. This should
take only a few seconds, depending on the speed of your
installation environment (file, network or CD).

Module AFP, RMS, RNP2OMC for LTE, Power Handling, Frequency

Registration Distribution Addin modules will be automatically registered
during installation.

Reboot If you have installed 9955 RNP on your PC, you will be asked to
reboot your system in order to activate the dongle driver, and
finalize the installation.

5 Special Installation of 9955 RNP

5.1 Several Versions in Parallel

Parallel It is possible to have several versions of 9955 RNP in parallel.
Installation Each of them will have its own Program Directory. This is called
“parallel installation”.
Installation Due to upgrades in the application setup, if you launch the setup
Procedure a second time after installing the product, it will start in
maintenance mode for the corresponding installation of 9955(see
chapter 5.4).
Version house- If you should have other previous version installed that you don’t
keeping need any more, please uninstall them before (!) you run a new
installation of 9955 RNP V7.1.0.
Running Several If you install several program directories in parallel, each of them
Versions can be handled individually. You can launch 9955 RNP from any
Program Directory by double-clicking on the file Atoll.exe that will
launch the respective version of 9955 RNP. You even launch
several instances of 9955 RNP in parallel, regardless of their
versions.
If you already have installed 9955 RNP versions previous to V6.7
B2922, then the new installed and registered modules (cf.
chapter 2.6.7) will be available in old installations, too.
If you already have installed newer versions than V6.7 B2922,
then the new installed and registered modules will be available
only in the current installation, without overwriting previous
installations of the modules. This way, parallel installations of
modules will be available.
Only One Version When double-clicking on an ATL-file, Windows will automatically
for Double-Click launch the corresponding application and load the file. Obviously,
there can be only one version of 9955 RNP linked to this action.
This will be the last installed version, but you are able to
redefine this via the file types option of the Windows explorer
e.g. (Menu Tools > Folder options > File types).
3DF 01955 7181 RJZZA Ed. 01 37/60
Special Installation of 9955 RNP
If 9955 RNP is already running, a double-click on an ATL-file will
open the selected file in the running 9955 RNP instance and will
not open a second instance.
Compatibility As a principle, newer versions of 9955 RNP will normally be able
to read older projects or at least there will be an easy converting
utility supplied. Newer versions will always save the ATL
documents in their own format, and older versions may not
always be able to read later formats.

5.2 Multi-User Installation

Already Available 9955 is able to provide a multi-user environment where several
planners work on the same project. This feature is included in
the basic installation of 9955 RNP, so no special option has to be
selected.

 Upgrading the The setup automatically detects and removes older builds of the
same version with same 9955 RNP version even you install this new build on another
folder. If there will be more builds for V7.1.0 the same behavior
an older build
will be encountered.
number
Although the setup is prepared for this case, normally you should
not encounter it, as only one build of a certain 9955 version is
delivered to our customers.

5.4 Maintenance and Un-installation

Control Panel The 9955 RNP V7.1.0 installation can be changed or uninstalled
from Control Panel of Windows OS. Just click on “Add/Remove
Programs” or “Programs and Features” as for any other software
application.
Maintenance The maintenance procedure of 9955 RNP offers three methods:
Methods “Modify”, “Repair” and “Remove”.

Modify The “Modify” option will let you install new components and/or
Installation remove existing components from the current 9955 RNP V7.1.0
installation.
By selecting this option and pressing “Next” the user will in fact
go through the Custom Installation phase of the setup, which
allows him or her to check additional features that will be
installed or un-check the features that will be removed from the
current 9955 RNP installation (see chapter 4.1).
If you uninstall 9955 RNP or the 9955 RNP modules you should
note that older 9955 RNP installations may not find these
modules at start-up. In order to correct this, you should perform
a manual registration of the modules from the older installation
folder, as specified in chapter 4.1.
Repair The “Repair” option will reinstall all the product features which
Installation have been installed by previous setup operations. Its main
purpose is to repair an incomplete or damaged installation of
9955 RNP V7.1.0, in the unlikely case that such problems occur.
This maintenance option should be used if you have experienced
hard-drive problems or deleted installation files by mistake,
which prevent 9955 RNP V7.1.0 from working properly. In normal
cases, this option should not need to be used.
Remove The automatic removal will delete all files, directories, registry
Installation keys and shortcuts that were created during the installation and
subsequent maintenance operations. This method is
recommended if you have done no manual changes to the
installations.
By removing 9955 RNP V7.1.0, the installed add-ins and modules
will be unregistered and deleted from the installation folder.
Therefore, if previous versions of 9955 RNP are installed on the

system, they will not load these modules and add-ins at startup,
although their files may still exist in the older installation
folders. To make the modules and add-ins available for these
versions, you need to do a manual registration of these modules
from their older location, by running the install_addins.bat file,
located in the Modules folder.
Parallel If you are using several installations in parallel, and you want to
Installation uninstall a specific old installation (V6.9.1 or older) it is
recommended to uninstall it, not to delete the installation
folder. The same procedure as mentioned before is necessary for
the add-ins and modules from the remaining installations to keep
working. For each of them identify the install_addins.bat file and
run it.
Be careful If you lose the dongle driver registration for the recent 9955 RNP
version when uninstalling a former version, then a reinstallation
of the dongle driver is recommended.

6 Configuration of 9955 RNP V7.1.0

6.1 File Types

9955 RNP works with the following file types:
ATL-Files Files of this type contain a complete planning project, including
numerical results, simulations and network-wide predictions. Geo
data and cell-specific propagation predictions can be embedded
optionally. ATL-files can only be read by 9955 RNP. Double-
clicking on an ATL-file in the Windows Explorer will launch 9955
RNP and load this file.
LOS-Files These are binary files that contain cell-specific propagation
predictions. They are stored in the LOSSES folder and appear
always together with a Pathloss.DBF file.
Pathloss.DBF This Dbase database file contains prediction parameters and
validity information that were used when creating the associated
LOS-file. It can be easily read using MS-Access.
CS-Files Information about coordinate systems is stored in files of type CS
in the CoordSystems subdirectory. Each file represents a group of
coordinate systems and each line in the file represents one
coordinate system. For details about coordinate systems, please
see the Coordinate Systems and Geographical Projections in 9955
V7 [3].

Configuration of 9955 RNP V7.1.0

6.2 Project Templates

Template Files When creating a new project in 9955 RNP, you have the choice of
several document templates. 9955 RNP will propose any of the
templates being stored in the subdirectory Templates of the
Program Directory.
MS Access It is very easy via MS Access 2003 or 2007 to modify these *.MDB
templates or to create new ones based on the existing ones.

Please be careful when changing/modifying the Templates (MDB

WARNING files). This can corrupt the default templates delivered with the
installation.

7 Migration from previous versions of 9955 RNP
Some of you may already have installed a prior version of 9955 on
your computer. This chapter will tell you the main differences
between the two versions and what you need to do in order to
install 9955 V7.1.0 and open your old project documents (ATLs).

7.1 Differences between 9955 V6.9.1 and 9955 V7.1.0

There had been some changes from version 6.9.1 to version 7.1.0

7.1.1 Format of ATL-Files

Both 9955 RNP V6.9.1 and 9955 RNP V7.1.0 store project data in
ATL files and optionally also in a database. The format for these
two versions is however different, which requires a format
conversion when old-format data shall be reused in 9955 V7.1.0.
For ATL files that are not connected to a database this is done
automatically by 9955 RNP V7.1.0 when opening an V6.9.1 ATL
file while for projects using a common database there is some
more effort needed. Please, see chapter 7.2 for details.

7.1.2 Format of 9955 RNP Databases

The database format (preferably MS-Access) is used as well in the
project template files as when exporting data to a database for
sharing with other ATLs. Compared to V6.9.1 the number of fields
increased due to new features introduced. The adaptation could
be done manually, via SQL-scripts or by disconnecting the V6.9.1
ATL followed by opening with V7.1.0 and exporting to a new
V7.1.0 database (see chapter 7.2.2).
In addition to the database structure changes there have been
some changes of default values in the project templates (UMTS
GSM/EGPRS, LTE). Those changes can be tracked when opening a
template MDB file with MS-Access (2003 or 2007) and viewing the

3DF 01955 7181 RJZZA Ed. 01 43/60

Migration from previous versions of 9955 RNP
“Comments” table. If you change to 7.1.0 you should be aware
that for old V6.9.1 projects the former template settings are still
taken for tables and fields that already existed when the project
was initially created. Only for new created projects you are using
all new settings of the new V7.1.0 templates. Thus it is
recommended to check project-critical settings.

7.1.3 Keeping two 9955 RNP Versions in Parallel

Certainly, it is possible to keep 9955 RNP V6.9.1 installed on your
computer. The new version V7.1.0 will not overwrite it, unless
you install it into the same directory, which is not recommended.
Please refer to chapter 5.1 for more information of parallel
installation.

44/60 3DF 01955 7181 RJZZA Ed. 01

 7.2 Migrating a Project

Keep a copy of old ATL / DB when upgrading to 9955 RNP V7.1.0.

CAUTION
When migrating any ATL or database from a prior version of 9955
RNP (V6.7, V6.8, V6.9) to V7.1.0 you should keep a copy of the
old files, because after saving in V7.1.0 it will be no more
possible to open it with the old tool version.

Check the connection status of your ATLs before migration.

PREPARATION
The migration procedure of an ATL or Database depends on the
connection status of the ATLs in the prior version of 9955 RNP.
Open the ATL and go to menu “File > Database > Connection
properties”. ATLs that are not connected to a database can be
easily migrated by opening with V7.1.0, whilst connected ones
need some more care.

7.2.1 Migrating Unconnected ATL documents

As already stated, the 9955 RNP V7.1.0 can normally read
unconnected 9955 RNP V6.9.1 ATL project documents, but not
the other way round.
If when checking your ATL turns out to be connect to a database,
but you know this connection is out of date and of no more
relevance, just disconnect the ATL from the database and
proceed with the migration for unconnected ATLs.
Conversion is done automatically when opening a V6.9.1 ATL with
9955 RNP V7.1.0; for that the project templates from the
template folder (see chapter 3.5) are used.

From old ATLs to V7.1.0

If you have some old 9955 RNP ATL files that you would like to
open in 9955 RNP V7.1.0, you have to open and save them in all
intermediate release before. For example, if you have a project
done in V6.7 and you want to open it in V7.1.0 you have to open
and save it in V6.8, and in V6.9, and in V6.9.1 before V7.1.0. This
way all the updates are correctly done.
If you are in doubt or meet problems, please don’t hesitate to
contact our 9955 RNP RadioTools Support (see chapter 9.2) by
exactly specifying your needs.

3DF 01955 7181 RJZZA Ed. 01 45/60

Migration from previous versions of 9955 RNP

7.2.2 Migrating ATLs that are connected to a Database

Due to the DB format changes from V6.9.1 to V7.1.0 you cannot
just open the V6.9.1 ATLs connected to a V6.9.1 DB with the new
tool version V7.1.0.
Edit the database The most general method for migrating a DB based project is to
externally (with MS-Access) change the database structure from
V6.9.1 to V7.1.0 and only then to open the connected ATL
documents with 9955 RNP V7.1.0. The DB migration could be
performed manually or via an SQL script. If you should decide for
this proceeding, please contact the 9955 RNP RadioTools Support
for help (see chapter 9.2).
Or disconnect one Another easier possibility would be to use the automatic
ATL migration for one of the connected ATL documents after
disconnecting it:
1. Archive in V6.9.1 all ATLs connected to the DB of interest.
2. Save all ATLs and make backup copies of the resulting V6.9.1
ATL documents and the common V6.9.1 database!
3. In V6.9.1 disconnect one of those connected ATLs.
4. Make sure you already installed 9955 RNP V7.1.0.
5. In V7.1.0 open this disconnected ATL document for an
automatic migration.
6. After successful migration save the disconnected ATL (now
as V7.1.0 ATL)
7. Export from the one migrated ATL to the original database
(thus overwriting but providing the name) and save.
8. Open the other still connected ATLs. They will be migrated
then to V7.1.0 too.
9. Save the migrated ATLs.
10. If they are now all connected to the migrated V7.1.0
database, refresh them using “File / Database / Refresh”
menu and choose in the next warning window “Cancel your
changes and reload database”.
11. Perform some checks if the result of the procedure is
reasonable and finally save, if this is the case.

9.1 Messages
"Invalid directory name specified":
You have no access permissions to the directory you specified or it does not exist.
"Protection Key Error":
You have not installed the hardware protection key software or you have not rebooted
your system afterwards or your dongle is not plugged in.
Do so and launch 9955 RNP again.
If 9955 still doesn't work, your dongle may be damaged.
Please contact the 9955 RNP RadioTools Support to discuss a replacement.
In case you are working with the floating license please check to have a single nethasp.ini
file placed in C:\Windows\System32.
It should contain the proper IP address of the server.
"Temporary license has expired":
You want to use 9955 RNP with a dongle that contains a temporary license that has
expired.
Contact the 9955 RNP RadioTools Support to extend your license.
"Failed to open document":
When getting this warning, you probably tried to open an ATL, that had been created in
an earlier version or with an inconsistent template.
Please provide the zipped ATL to the support – in case of big files FTP is recommended.
"There was a problem sending the command to the program":
This Error message maybe due to the same problem as the previous one, but when trying
to open the ATL from the Windows explorer instead from the running application.
"The docfile has been corrupted":
This looks bad. Hopefully you have a current backup or a DB export available.
If not, you can send your ATL file to the 9955 support (zipped via e-mail or – if too large –
via FTP) hoping that it can be recovered.
