In order to establish the communication between the system components, control and configure the system,run and monitor the measurement, the following application components are needed:

1. On the Laptop:

• Test Manager: configures the system, the task and Campaign to be run by the various mobilephones

• NQComm: ensures the communication between the Laptop and all the probes via FTP server(also installed on the Laptop)

• NQView: provides the real monitoring based on the information logged by all the single devices

2. On the QualiPoc

• QP Engine: measurement engine actually running the tests

A Appendix

Troubleshooting

This chapter describes how to troubleshoot problems that you might encounter when you use QualiPocFreerider.

FTP Connection Problems

• Check if the phone is running.

• Check if QPControl is using the correct access point.

• Check if the WEP key is correct.

• Check if the SSID of the APN is correct spelled.

• Check if the phone and the laptop have fixed IP addresses.

• Check if the Ad-hoc network is connected on the laptop. Disconnect it and connect again.

• Check the channel number of the WLAN on the QualiPoc is the same as the one defined in the APNin TM.

• Check the FTP server settings. (Is the FTP server running and has all the needed user rights on theFTPShare folder)

• Check the Windows Firewall settings.

Known Limitations

• Stopping a running task is just possible if the QualiPoc unit is connected to NQView.

• A QualiPoc unit can just connect to NQView if a task (QPAEngine) is running.
