2.2.5 Diversity Measurement Units

The following sections describe how to install the Diversity operating software, that is,
Diversity Core, on a Benchmarker CSM or PCM, and a Ranger MPM.

The core software includes the FileZilla FTP server, which uses port 990 to listen for
implicit SSL/TLS connections. Although you can change this port in the "FileZilla
Server Interface" settings, the next Diversity update will overwrite the settings. You can
open the "FileZilla Server Interface" in the following location:
C:\Program Files\SwissQual\Diversity\FileZilla Server\.

Before you begin, you need to copy the Diversity installation folder to the hard drive of
the Diversity measurement unit, for example, a CSM. One method to copy the folder is
to use TightVNC, Windows Remote Desktop, TeamViewer, or LogMeIn; otherwise you
can use a USB stick to transfer the folder to the PCM. For the latter operation you also
need a monitor, a keyboard, and a mouse.

2.2.5.1 Diversity Benchmarker

The Benchmarker package installs the Diversity core software to operate a Diversity
CSM, PCM, or Land Unit.

Copy the Diversity installation folder to a USB hard drive.
Connect the hard drive to a USB port on the CSM or PCM.
Attach a monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the CSM or PCM.
