TESTING PROCEDURE

Select a Site Ask NOC department if its Okay. Site Okay

Start with 1st Sector

Find Nominal Points

CINR > 20 --- 25 CQI > 12 --- 15

Nominal Points

Found DL < 70 --- 75 Ask NOC Person To LOCK the MCS

TESTING PROCEDURE

Start Downloading

1GB or 3 mins (Average > 70 Mbs)

TESTING PROCEDURE

Start Uploading

3 mins (Average > 7 Mbs )

TESTING PROCEDURE

Ping Server

10 Times (avg > 22 --- 30 ms)

TESTING PROCEDURE

After All Three Sectors Done. Make a Coverage Log File. While Downloading. Make sure all the three sectors are covered.

TESTING PROCEDURE

After Coverage is Done Make Clockwise Handovers Between the Sectors Do Same for Anti Clockwise Handovers

Note Done successful Handovers and Failures

TESTING PROCEDURE

Off course , At the End Make Sure You Have Done Proper Naming of Folders and Snaps. So, That its easy for Analyzer to understand and do his Job well.

Thanks For Your Patience !
