•Introduction

•Training ObjectiveTo get familiar with configuration and operation of XCAP analysis tool

•AudiencesRF engineer, wireless network engineer and or anyone who is involved in network optimization

2

anyone who is involved in network optimization and or analysis

•MaterialsComputer, XCAP software, USB dongle, supported data log files

•Installation

•Install USB dongle driverTwo types of USB dongle driver: • Evaluation Dongle – monthly renewal is required• Commercial Dongle

Evaluation Dongle:Run HASP_for_eveluation.exe

Commercial Dongle:Run Rainbow_for_commercal.exe

3

Run HASP_for_eveluation.exe Run Rainbow_for_commercal.exe

DON’T connect the USB dongle to laptop before & during driver installation

•Installation

•Install USB dongle driver

• After driver installed, connect USB dongle to laptop and Window will detect the devices.

• Open Device Manager and check the dongle is installed probably.• If problem found, you should [1] re-install driver, or [2] lookup update driver from HASP/Safenet(Rainbow) web sites.
