The same analysis is also performed during playback mode if the analysis is enabled.
In addition to the map view, a table displays the analysis results for each cell. The table includes
information about the system, band, channel number, Cell ID, PCI/SCR/PN, cell name, cell type,
signal level (RX Level, RSCP, or RSRP depending on system), and test status (Passed, Failed or
Untested). With multi-configurations, each device needs its own map view.

It is also possible to plot RF ingress cell type (n/a, macro, small, macro+small) with map route
coloring using a colorset.
1.2.4 UTM coordinates and marker coordinate conversion with iBwave files
iBwave files may contain UTM coordinates in addition to WGS84 coordinates. iBwave support has
been updated to support both coordinate formats when loading transmitter files. Please note that
both the tab file and transmitter file must use the same coordinate system.
A new option has been added to indoor settings to save markers in GPS (lat. / lon.) WGS84 format
when the iBwave file has UTM coordinates. The coordinate system used is saved in the marker file.
The coordinate system will be saved under [CoordinateFormat], coordinatesystem, e.g. below:
[CoordinateFormat]
coordinatesystem=latlon
Currently three values are supported by Nemo Outdoor and Nemo Handy:
latlon
utm
metric
If the floorplan uses generated, non-earth coordinates (i.e. imported with map dimensions instead
of georegistering), the value is metric.
In playback mode, the coordinate system is detected when loading marker files so that both WGS84
and UTM format marker files are displayed correctly.

Page 11
Cost-effective and simplified. Ideal for benchmarking and running simultaneous LTE highspeed UEs on a single commercial laptop with up to six handsets
Enhanced data capacity per CPU which means more devices per CPU with higher data rates
compared to running data services on a PC
Only one IP address (host address) for all test UEs with multi-configurations
No issues with PC CPU load lowering data rates. No need to tweak TCP/IP settings on the PC
Smaller (lighter) and cost-effective hardware and easy installation. In some cases no
permanent installation needed due to much lower overall power consumption
Data transfers can be made using the NMR interface where the protocol service is running on a
smartphone. User can select via the Nemo Outdoor device configuration settings the appropriate
method for performing data transfers. The NMR application must be installed on a smartphone and
have a valid license. If NMR is activated, all supported commands/services are always executed via
Page 12
NMR. Commands/services that are not supported by NMR are automatically executed on the PC.
The user interface uses the same manual and scripted commands with NMR as with PC.
With voice quality measurements, the smartphone records the received sample audio files and
transfers audio files via the NMR interface to a computer in real time. The computer calculates the
PESQ/POLQA MOS scores and the values are written to the Nemo Outdoor log file. PESQ and POLQA
licensing will remain the same. NMR also supports multiple phones connected simultaneously to one
CPU. The maximum number of simultaneous connections with voice quality and data is six phones
connected to one CPU with Windows 8 OS and eight phones with Windows 7 OS.
Standard data cable (OD0100-08) Hama micro USB 2.0 USB A to micro B cable must be used with
the test handsets.
1.3.1.1 Test handset user interface monitoring and controlling via Nemo Outdoor user
interface
Sometimes there is a need to change the test handset settings before testing, for example, to
disable data roaming or change APN settings. With a high number of test handsets, and especially
when handset isolation modules are used, changing the settings requires opening the housing which
makes the process slow and inconvenient for the user. With the latest release NMR supports test
handset UI monitoring and controlling via the TeamViever QuickSupport application installed to the
test handsets. This makes it possible to make a remote connection to the test handset via the
Nemo Outdoor user interface. Please note that one active connection at a time is supported, i.e.
connections to several handsets simultaneously are not possible. The laptop running Nemo Outdoor
must be connected to the internet, for example by using a dedicated handset or a USB modem
connected to the controlling laptop. The test handset must be in service and support data services.
Packet data must be enabled. NOTE! Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (GT-I9197) do not support remote
control.
The Teamviewer Quick Support (QS) application and Teamviewer Remote Control add-on module
are preinstalled to all test handsets delivered by Anite Network Testing with the Nemo Invex
handset isolation modules. TeamViewer must be installed also to the PC running Nemo Outdoor.
These applications can be downloaded from the Nemo User Club. Please note that Teamviewer can
be used free of charge only with non-commercial use. Customers using the UI monitoring and
controlling with the TeamViewer tools for commercial use must obtain the licenses directly from
TeamViewer (www.teamviewer.com).
The following table shows the required applications with compatible version numbers. The
TeamViewer applications must not be automatically updated until notified by Anite Network Testing.
Updating can cause the remote UI and control to stop working.

Nemo Outdoor is compatible with all devices labeled as CDMA by Qualcomm or QUALCOMM 3G
CDMA using the Qualcomm chipsets. However, Anite Network Testing cannot guarantee full
functionality when a test terminal is used with a Qualcomm-compatible handler. Video calls, for
example, might not work. Please see the separate document Nemo Outdoor 7.6.0.7 Compatible
Devices.pdf. for a list of verified Qualcomm-based CDMA and WCDMA terminals.
CDMA terminals with or without RUIM card purchased from Anite Network Testing must be
registered with a local CDMA operator. Anite Network Testing does not take any responsibility if a
local operator restricts the registration of test terminal(s) supplied by Anite Network Testing.

Note that if there is a system that measures acceleration in the laptop and which
causes the hard disk to stop when jolted, it should be turned off. Otherwise there
may be breaks in the measurement files. With voice quality testing this can be seen
with missing MOS scores, and with other test devices with gaps in the measurement
results
Running Nemo Outdoor setup directly from the USB flash memory wont work. Workaround
is to copy the files to PC prior running the setup
Download stops responding. Applies to Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems.
When you try to download a file, the download stops responding and then times out. The
problem occurs when you use a USB modem that has a data transfer speed that is faster
than or equal to 240 kilobits per second (Kbps). The problem occurs because of a limitation
in the current USB modem driver (Usbser.sys). The hotfix download is available from
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925681
Please select View and request hot fix downloads and follow the instructions to download
the appropriate file. Files can be found also from the DVD supplied by Anite (Nemo Outdoor

6.0\Setup\Microsoft hot fix). Please note that for each operating system there is a separate
file available:
Windows 7, Windows6.1-KB925681-x86.msu
If the message Server Busy is displayed on the screen, it is recommended that the
packetmon.exe be killed using the task manager. Packetmon.exe is used by the Microsoft
Network Monitor. Microsoft Network Monitor is needed only with the video streaming quality
or IP packet capturing functionalities. If IP packet capturing or video streaming quality
measurements are not required its recommended to not install Microsoft Network Monitor.
Line graph zooming with mouse wheel does not work occasionally
A data cable must be connected to the computer and to the test handset before switching on
power to the handset. In case handset power is turned on before connecting the data cable,
Nemo Media Router does not always detect the data cable and connection to Nemo Outdoor
fails. In such a case, exit the NMR application and it will automatically restart.
Packet capturing, full logging should be used only for troubleshooting purposes as the file size
of the packet capturing file is limited by the memory of the test handset. Error message is
shown in the Nemo Outdoor user interface when memory is full
If user has already started a PC client connection to the device before NMR is asked
to start accepting connections, it may take over 30s for the connection to succeed
Screen power saver should be disabled, because Teamviewer will not work if it is
not visible and the active application
iPERF UDP DL testing cannot be done with test handsets running Nemo Media Router
application. Non-NMR test handsets are required
Ping testing using delay from reply to request does not work using NMR. Workaround is to use
delay between requests. Repeat until stopped is not supported at the moment and repeat X
times should be used

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910G/ F/ T handsets must be removed from the holders
before closing the lid. Otherwise closing the lid will damage the handsets. The suitcase has
not been designed for bigger handsets, such as Note 4.
When using max. six Samsung smartphones (e.g. Note 4 handsets), the system cannot
charge all handsets, and therefore the batteries of the test handsets will run out. It is
recommended to start testing with fully loaded batteries. For example with YouTube testing,
measurement duration is limited to ~four hours.
Nemo Walker II
Number of USB devices exceeded error messages might appear with certain laptops when
more than five test UEs are connected to Nemo Walker II USB hubs. Issue is seen especially
with Lenovo Yoga laptops. It is advised to connect max. four UEs per USB hub. With
computers having both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports, it is advised to connect the first USB
data cable to USB 2.0 port and the second USB data cable to USB 3.0 port. Disabling USB
3.0 from the BIOS is also an alternative with laptops running Windows 8.x OS. Laptops with
Windows 7 OS, uninstalling the Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver via add/
remove program can be done. The recommended laptop with Nemo Walker II with up to
eight test handsets is Lenovo T430S.
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910G/ F or similar size of handsets cannot be used with the
Nemo Walker II chassis. Chassis has not been designed for big handsets, such as, Note 4.
File size is not written to the DREQ event and because of that, the device status does not
show a progress bar for DL or UL transfers
With uplink data transfers the UL data throughput goes up and down. This is normal
behavior as the uploaded files are split to 4MB fragments and uploaded to server with
separate upload commands.
With multi data transfers, e.g. benchmarking Dropbox testing, different local file names
must be used for each test device. In multi-script it means that you can download the same
file with all devices, but you must write it with different names to the local disk
Page 41
Only one active PEVQ-S connection is supported per PC. Only one active PS connection is
allowed while executing PEVQ streaming. When multiple test handsets are connected to the
same PC, a PS connection with only the test handset executing PEVQ-S testing is allowed.
If a test handset has Nemo Media Router application installed, it prevents PEVQ-S testing as
NMR test handsets are always online. In such case, to run multiple PEVQ-S connections
simultaneously, a dedicated PC is required with only one NMR test handset connected to the
PC.
Facebook testing
Facebook limits the number of updates you can post. If you see an error message, it means
the Facebook limit has been reached. It is not a permanent error, so the feed will continue
to work, and once the limit is reset on Facebook end (daily), new posts will be posted again
automatically
CAA event type is written as voice not VoLTE when call is generated via Nemo Outdoor user
interface. This is because at the time of the call attempt, call type is unknown
With networks using encryption, it is required to perform radio off/ radio on for the VoLTE
test UE and wait ~40 seconds. During this time SIP server registering is shown in the user
interface even if the UE is already registered. After this, measurements can proceed
normally.
With IMS SMS testing its not recommended to use more than 160 characters
Video streaming MOS and jitter values are occasionally reported with value zero
PVI video quality parameters are not available with 64 bit operating systems. PVI streaming
without video quality parameters is supported with both 32 and 64 bit operating systems
Retrieving proper error messages (streaming cause codes) is missing. VLC player version
2.1.0 required with Nemo Outdoor version 7.3.0.6 or higher
USSD testing:
Occasionally FTP UL data throughput values can exceed the maximum value supported by
the network. This is seen at the beginning of data transfers. The root cause is that the
operating system can buffer the data
Page 42
VoIP testing:
Other PS data connections are not allowed at the same time with the same computer. Issue
has been reported to the vendor.
Only one VoIP connection per CPU can be done at the moment. Issue reported to the
vendor.
WAP testing. The WAP protocol stack used in Nemo Outdoor supports the following
contents:
Content Type
WMLC, WML 1.1/1.2/1.2.1 text and binary, WMLScript 1.1/1.2/1.2.1 text and binary
Streaming (Catra)
Nemo Outdoor cannot establish streaming with the Nemo Server Catra streaming service.
With Nemo Handy, streaming is working correctly with the included test files.
To be able to calculate end-to-end delivery time, SMS testing must be done using the same
operator between two terminals. This is due to the fact that SMS message ID changes from
operator to operator.
MMS testing
With Nemo Outdoor 6.3 onwards the required Microsoft Network Monitor version is 3.4.
If data throughput problems are experienced with Windows 7 operating systems and you
are using auto-tuning TCP receive window, please see article
http://blogs.msdn.com/wndp/archive/2007/07/05/receive-window-auto-tuning-onvista.aspx or try to set the auto-tuning level to highlyrestriced." Auto tuning can be
restricted by running netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=restricted from the
command prompt. We have found that the restricted mode will often allow some of the
benefits of auto tuning with a number of problematic devices. Current auto tuning level can
be shown with the command netsh interface tcp show global.
With MMS testing the data transfer status can occasionally show more than 100%.

15 TROUBLESHOOTING DEVICE
CONNECTIVITY ISSUES
In general all power saving options should be disabled and high performance power settings should
be used. Battery stretch should not be used and USB port power saving option should be
deselected.

Page 46
Requested throughput much higher than the actual measured throughput may indicate that there
are other users sharing the radio resources of the cell or some other bottleneck in the network that
prevents the mobile from getting the maximum achievable throughput.
High PUSCH TX power values indicate a lack of uplink coverage.
When operating in the dynamic range of link adaptation, average BLER (PDSCH BLER) should be
higher than 0, typically 10-20%, in order to achieve the gain of HARQ retransmission scheme
Residual BLER after all HARQ retransmissions should be 0%. Higher values indicate that the radio
link is about to drop. Observe the MAC downlink/uplink residual BLER (%) values.
Other things that could help troubleshooting:
Disable any firewall and/or antivirus software that could reduce the throughput. Some HSPA
USB interfaces may also install their own software which may affect to window size settings
in registry
For Nemo Outdoor 5.60 and older versions: Run a script with simultaneous FTP transfers to
see if the throughput increases. Does not work manually, script is always needed
For Nemo Outdoor 5.70 and later versions: Use the multithread feature of the FTP protocol
to test simultaneous transfers. Works also manually
For Nemo Outdoor 6.30 and later versions: Transmit/receive buffer size should not be
mixed with the TCP receive window size which is the global setting. TCP receive window
size affects the TCP/ IP layer whereas transfer buffer size affects the application layer.
Transfer buffer size can be adjusted per socket. This means that the transfer buffer size can
be adjusted for each test UE separately. Transfer buffer size can be adjusted with the FTP,
SFTP, HTTP, POP3, SMTP, and IMAP protocols
Page 47
When buffer size is not checked from user interface, Nemo Outdoor checks if auto-tuning is
on with Windows 7. If auto-tuning is on, no values are set. Otherwise the static value 64k is
used.
Normally default buffer values are acceptable. But if low data throughputs are still
experienced, increasing the receive/transmit buffer size may increase data throughput.
In uplink direction, transfer buffer size too high can be seen as high data throughput peak
at the beginning of the data session. For example, it is possible that measured data
throughput peak is higher than what the cellular system supports. In this case, decreasing
the transfer buffer size in uplink direction will eliminate high data throughput peaks.
Make a comparison test between Nemo Outdoor and the connection manager used with the
device. When configuring a device with Nemo Outdoor, only the trace port should be
defined. The modem port and dial-up connection must be left blank. As ports are left blank
it is not possible to perform a manual PDP context activation or data transfer via Nemo
Outdoor. However, a script file with data connection commands can be used. Script files
should include only data transfer commands, not Attach/detach or PDP context activation or
deactivation commands. Start a data transfer and observe the application data throughput
value. Make the same test again but this time make a connection using Nemo Outdoor.

3. Double click the frame to get detailed frame info. Look at the Tcp tree. Window shows the
current value.
16.3.2
Windows 7
Windows 7 does not use static window sizes from the registry. They rely on dynamic window size
which is handled by TCP auto tuning feature. However, if the same registry value that Windows
uses is set, Outdoor reads it and adjusts the manual window size based on this value. In most
cases, the registry has been edited by a third-party software or a USB mobile interface
driver/software. This registry entry can be removed.
If the TCP auto-tuning is disabled Nemo Outdoor will use its default window size 64 KB. Outdoor
5.40 and newer checks the auto-tuning state and does not change any window sizes if auto-tuning
is enabled.
How to check TCP auto-tuning state:
1. Open command prompt by typing CMD to Search programs and files field.
2.

Please note that administrator rights are required to change auto-tuning settings.
Open command prompt by typing CMD to Search programs and files field. Right-click and select
Run as administrator.
disabled: Uses a fixed value for the TCP receive window. Limits to 64 KB (65535).
highlyrestricted: Recommended. Allows the receive window to grow beyond its default
value, very conservatively.
restricted: Recommended. Somewhat restricted growth of the TCP receive window beyond
its default value.
normal: Default value. Allows the receive window to grow to accommodate most conditions.
experimental: Allows the receive window to grow to accommodate extreme scenarios (not
recommended, it can degrade performance in common scenarios, only intended for
research purposes). It enables receive window values of over 16 MB.
