LMF Features and Installation Requirements
Before optimization can be performed, the LMF application software
must be installed and configured on a computer platform meeting
Motorola–specified requirements (see Recommended Test Equipment
and Software in Chapter 1).
NOTE
For the CDMA LMF graphics to display properly, the computer
platform must be configured to display more than 256 colors.
See the operating system software instructions for verifying and
configuring the display settings.
Software and files for installation and updating of the LMF are provided
on CD ROM disks. The following installation items must be available:
S LMF Program on CD ROM
S CDF/NECF for each supported BTS (on diskette or available from the
CBSC)
S CBSC File for each supported BTS (on diskette or available from the
CBSC)
FTP Server
To be able to download files to the GLI3, the LMF now runs FTP server
on the LMF laptop. The LMF FTP server runs from the LMFs home
directory. All the files necessary to run the LMF FTP server are installed
from the LMF CD. The FTP server is automatically started by the LMF
upon successful Login to a Packet BTS.
In addition, the LMF provides a new option in the Tools menu called
FTP Server. The option starts the LMFs FTP server if Start is selected,
and stops the server if Stop is selected. The LMFs FTP server runs on
port 21. If any other process is using that port, the error message is
displayed to the user stating that the port is occupied. There is another
option under FTP Server menu called FTP Monitor, which allows the
user to watch FTP activity b/w the LMF and GLI.
Firewalls
Firewalls will block the FTP requests from the Packet GLI to the LMF
laptop. You must disable your firewall before attempting the BTS Synch
command. Some common firewall programs to look for include Network
ICE, BlackICE, Norton’s Desktop Firewall, Enterprise Firewall, and
Personal Firewall.
FTP Server Port in use
On some Windows 2000 installations, a process called “inetd.exe”
makes the FTP server port 21 unusable by the LMF. If the LMF reports
that the FTP server could not start because the port is in use, make sure
the inetd.exe is not running by using the Task Manager’s process list. If
inetd.exe is running, end the process by selecting it and clicking the
“End Process” button. Inetd32.
exe is NOT the same and ending it will
not resolve this problem.
