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.
NOTICE
CPU is more important than RAM 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: ► ► ►
2.1.3
Ink or laser color printer, connected through LAN (RJ45) A0 plotter, connected through LAN (RJ45) DVD writer or other backup device for server
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 for as this individual dongle for this computer network dongle and other computers on the t he network.or as So there are two different dongle options:
NOTE

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 before!
The amount of disk space required for data obviously depends on the project, mostly on planning area, pixels size and number of 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 Cell-specific results take 2 bytes per pixel.
Database Tables The ATL file keeps the database tables as well as numerical results. empty ATL between file will 1 have less than 100 additionalAnsite will need KB and 2 KB more in KB. the Each ATLfile, 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 cellspecific results. Database tables, numerical results, simulation

results and the like can be neglected compared to this. You should make sure s ure that you y ou have at least le ast 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
3DF 01955 7181 RJZZA
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.

Software Requirements 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-43624b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&displaylang=en
or ask the RadioTools Ra dioTools Support (see chapter 9.2).

►
Windows NT 4.0
The 9955 RNP setup will not install the application under these OSs.
2.3.2
Licensing Software 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.
Individual 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.
Network Dongle
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: ►

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.

Access-Rights Requirements
Administrator Administrator permissions are required for the installation of the dongl e driver and maybe may be Permissions 9955 RNP, in order to install the dongle 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. upg rades of 9955 99 55 RNP do not require Only First Time Later updates and upgrades
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. In a multi-user environment, all users must have read-write access to a common directory on the network.
Multi-User Installation 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(HASP them,license and a special software managing the license assignment manager, see chapter 2.3.2). In the 3DF 01955 7181 RJZZA
Ed. 01

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 campaigns. will show the duration between two consecutive activation 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
PRC-Generator License
Radio Network Planning tool and the Alcatel-Lucent GSM OMC-R. Starting with version V3.6, PRC Generator requires a license in order to be used. 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.

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.
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).
Main License There are standard and temporary 9955 RNP licenses available,
but please note that even for a standard license there will be th
th
periodic expiry dates a year (typically 5 the of update April and 5 of October), and youtwice will get automatically codes from the 9955 support some time in advance.
Module Licenses The license dates for 9955 RNP AFP module are automatically
harmonized with the core application license whilst the WinProp (ProMan and WallMan) license might be independent from and currently needs an update every two years.

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: WinpropUrbanIRT.dll to uninstall WinProp: regsvr32 /u WinpropUrbanIRT.dll to install WinProp:
regsvr32 /u WinpropUrban.dll WinpropUrban.dll regsvr32 WinpropUrbanIRT.dll WinpropUrbanIRT.dll regsvr32 WinpropUrban.dll 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 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 t o 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 administration: 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.

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).

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.
Conditions for Use In order to work on a project on several computers in parallel, the following conditions must be met: ►
9955 RNP must be installed on two or more computers.
►
The same version of 9955 RNP must be installed.
The computers must be networked. ► They must share a network drive and provide sufficient access. ►
For more information, please refer to the 9955 RNP User Manual [1].

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.
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). 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 have been by incomplete previous setup operations. Its main Installation purpose is toinstalled repair an 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.

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. Doubleclicking 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].

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) 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

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.

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.
PREPARATION
7.2.1
Check the connection status of your ATLs before migration. 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.
Migrating Unconnected ATL documents As already stated, the 9955 RNP V7.1.0 can normally read unconnected 9955 995 5 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 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

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 disconnec ting it: i t: 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. 5.
Make sure you already installed 9955 RNP V7.1.0. 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, them “File / window Database“Cancel / Refresh” menu and refresh choose in the using next warning 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.
