NEMO OUTDOOR SYSTEM OVERVIEW
VOICE TESTING
The voice testing environment consists of Nemo Outdoor compatible mobiles and a PC (user provided
or, optionally, provided by Anite Finland with all the software installed). The package also includes the
necessary connecting cables, serial or USB port adapters, a GPS receiver, and fast frequency
scanners if applicable. Also the Nemo Voice Quality option is available.
CIRCUIT-SWITCHED DATA TESTING
The circuit-switched (CS) data testing environment consists of three parts: a measurement unit (Nemo
Outdoor), an application server, and a dial-up server. The dial-up server is used to establish a data
connection between the measurement unit and the application server. Nemo Data Test Server can be
used as the application server. It is a Linux-based administration-free server having up to four public
IP addresses and it can serve multiple simultaneous TCP/IP connections from test terminals. Nemo
Data Test Server supports FTP, SFTP, HTTP, POP3, SMTP, IPerf for UDP/TCP, Ping, Trace route
testing and RTSP (video streaming). CS data testing is possible on all cellular technologies that
support circuit-switched data.
The data measurement system has two modes: Send and Receive. In the Send mode, the
measurement unit sends data packets to the application server; in the Receive mode vice versa. If you
are using a FTP server, the measurement unit uploads (Send mode) or downloads (Receive mode)
test files to or from the FTP server. If you are using an HTTP server, the measurement unit can only
receive files.
The user can define the number of timeslots and the coding schemes, which in turn define the desired
transfer rate. During the measurement, the user will be able to monitor data throughputs and error
rates on different network layers, as well as certain parameters, such as coding scheme and number
of timeslots.
NEMO OUTDOOR SYSTEM OVERVI EW 23


PACKET-SWITCHED DATA TESTING
The packet-switched (PS) data testing environments consist of two ends: the measurement unit and
an application server. Nemo Data Test Server can be used as the application server. It is a Linux-
based administration-free server having up to four public IP addresses and it can serve multiple
simultaneous TCP/IP connections from test terminals. Nemo Data Test Server supports FTP, SFTP,
HTTP, POP3, SMTP, IPerf for UDP/TCP, Ping, Trace route testing, and RTSP (video streaming). PS
data testing is possible on all cellular technologies that support packet-switched data.
The data measurement system has two modes: Send and Receive. In the Send mode, the
measurement unit sends data packets to the application server; in the Receive mode vice versa. If you
are using an FTP server, the measurement unit uploads (Send mode) or downloads (Receive mode)
test files to or from the FTP server. If you are using an HTTP server, the measurement unit can only
receive files.
During the measurement, the user will be able to monitor data throughputs and error rates on different
network layers, as well as certain parameters such as coding scheme and number of timeslots.

five test mobiles, scanners, and a GPS device. The Multi-Data functionality in Nemo Outdoor allows
up to five concurrent data measurements to be performed simultaneously while the system is
connected to a single laptop, saving space in the test vehicle during drive testing and adding to the
ease of use of the system. Combined with Nemo Server, Nemo Outdoor Multi-Data makes it easy to
carry out, not only casual data benchmarking test cases that can be used to compare the performance
of different technologies or operators, but also long-term network performance measurements.
All test devices can be connected to Nemo Outdoor Multi through an onboard USB port while sharing
a cars +12VDC power output. The Nemo Outdoor multi unit includes a built-in 2500 mAh battery pack
which makes it possible to continue measurements during short power failures without stopping the
measurements. With the professional high-quality lockable USB data cable connection the system is
very reliable to use, preventing loose connections between test devices and the main unit. Nemo
Outdoor Multi can also be delivered with an optional tough roll-around carrying case. The system is by
default delivered with a car mounting kit that allows the unit to be semi-permanently mounted into a

NEMO INVEX

Nemo Invex system combines powerful intuitive software and scalable military grade hardware design
to create superior drive-test systems for wireless networks. Quick and easy to deploy, Nemo Invex
provides critical quality-of-service (QoS) measurements and a wide variety of quality-of-experience
(QoE) service testing, including the latest voice and video quality measurement algorithms. Nemo
Invex is flexible and scalable, capable of evolving as the network evolves providing the lowest
effective total cost of ownership available.
The Nemo Outdoor software application that runs on the Nemo Invex chassis for benchmarking is also
widely known as a tool for network optimization. With other benchmarking tools QoS statistics can be
collected but no actual reasons for possible issues, such as, low data rates can be seen without a
cause identified. Often the network issue is interference and other benchmarking tools are collecting
quality parameters but no real time analysis is performed. The Nemo solutions allow the user to
activate different interference analysis measurements, such as, WCDMA pilot pollution, GSM co-
channel/ adjacent channel interference and GSM/ WCDMA missing neighbor detection. These
enhanced capabilities help to save time and money and provide additional value added information
also to benchmarking campaigns. Furthermore, significant cost savings can be realized by bundling
the data collection solution with a post-processing solution as Anite has a comprehensive post-
processing solution, Nemo Analyze.

To disconnect measurement servers, click the Measurement servers button, select a measurement
server and click Disconnect.
Two Data Connections on One Measurement Server
You can have two active data connections on a single measurement server. For example, MMS can
be tested with one test device while another device is performing an FTP transfer. The data routing
option is enabled by default with Nemo Invex allowing more than one active data connection.
However, when routing table modifications is enabled, there are some limitations with data testing. For
example, it is required that different source IP addresses for data testing are used. This means that
the host IP address or URL must be different for each test device.
Routing table modification should be disabled when only one active data connection is required.
Select View | User Interface Properties and set Enable routing table modificati ons for devices to
No.

If routing table modification is disabled when performing multi (dual) data testing with one
measurement server, problems may be caused when several dial-up connections are opened from
one host computer to the terminals. All data connections to be established travel along one connection
between the host computer and the terminal, i.e. all dial-up connections are routed via one terminal,
not via different terminals and their interfaces. This will distort the test results.

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR DRIVE TESTING
Check the condition of all antennas, cables, and connectors: there should be no tight curves, no
slashes or cuts.
Check that connectors are properly connected. Loose connections cause unstable measurements or
wrong attenuation of field strength.
Place antennas properly on the roof of the vehicle. Antennas should be installed as symmetrically as
possible and at least one wavelength from the corners and roof windows, and two wavelengths from
each other. If antennas are too close to each other, it may cause interference.

Check the configuration before starting the measurement.
Individual antennas and the mobile holder antenna couplers may have different performance.
When removing antennas after a drive test, DO NOT pull antennas from the antenna cables. Hold the
antenna from the base and tilt the antenna away from the cable.

VOICE QUALITY MEASUREMENTS
Nemo Outdoor supports mobile-to-mobile and mobile-to-fixed-to-mobile voice quality measurements.
Please refer to the Nemo Voice Quality Guide document for complete instructions on setting up and
making voice quality measurements.
MAKING VIDEO CALLS
Click the Video Cal l button in the Measurement Properties, Measurement Setti ngs dialog to access
the Video Call Properties dialog. These settings are needed for making video calls.

Number defines the number where the video call will be made.
When Request voi ce call callback is selected, the application sends callback command to Nemo
Server using DTMF tones. DTMF tones are sent separately from audio so naturally DTMF tones do
not affect to MOS score. If Nemo server is connected to analog telephone lines (PSTN) user must
define the correct callback number on the server side using Nemo Server manager application. If
ISDN lines are used with Nemo Server and test terminals are selected to be sent also caller id to
Nemo server, callback number is recognized automatically. Note that this functionality requires Nemo
Server version 2.5.0 or later.
Select the Voi ce quality option to activate the voice quality settings. Note that the voice quality
settings are available only if your license supports voice quality measurements.
DURI NG MEASUREMENTS 91


Reference sample filename defines the reference sample to which the received audio sample is
compared. If you want to use your own test samples, make sure that the samples are of 8KHz
sampling rate, 16-bit linear coded .wav files that are no longer than ten seconds in length. With the
Terratec sound card, sampling rate can be 8kHz or 16 kHz (for WB-AMR testing) and sample length a
maximum of 30 seconds.
Select the Save sampl e fil es option to save the received voice quality sample files.
Prefi x for received sampl e files refers to the prefix that is added to the file names of received audio
sample files. If you leave this field empty, the received audio files are not stored. When a prefix is
defined, Nemo Outdoor names the files as follows: prefix_mos_date_time.wav where prefix is the
user-defined prefix, mos the voice quality score on a MOS scale with one decimal precision but
without decimal point, date in DDMMYYYY format, and time in HHMMSS format. For example:
terminal1_34_15112004_143045.wav.
Save only samples below threshold determines the value below which the samples are saved. The
threshold values range from 0-5, 0 being the worst and 5 the best value. The default threshold value is
5, which means that all samples are saved.
Note that the Script Settings view is activated onl y i f you access thi s dialog through the Script
Editor. See chapter Making Script Files for more information on making scripts.
Note that with voice quali ty measurements when calling Nemo Server, the delay time between a
new call attempt and the previous cal l disconnect must be at least 10 seconds.
CDMA specifi c settings, Service option defines the service option used for the test call. Note that
the CDMA specific setting is activated only if you are measuring with a CDMA mobile.
Call duration determines the time that the call lasts in seconds. The duration timer is started from the
channel assignment. The range of duration values is from 1 to 1,000,000 seconds. Note that the
maximum value of this parameter is the same as the value you have set as the Delay Between
Call Attempts parameter.
Call attempt timeout value determines the maximum duration of the call attempt. If the call attempt
timeout value is exceeded before the cellular system has assigned a traffic channel, the call attempt
will be stopped and the attempt will be marked as a failure. The range of the Call Attempt Timeout
values is from 5 to 60 seconds. The value is recommended to be at least 10 seconds.

DATA TRANSFERS
With mobiles supporting CS and PS data, you can make data transfers. In Nemo Outdoor, you have
several data protocol options for making data transfers: you can use the Iperf for TCP/UDP, FTP,
SFTP, HTTP, HTTP Browsing, POP3, SMTP, IMAP, WAP, or streaming.
The Nemo Outdoor Multi system enables multiple simultaneous data connections. Each data transfer
needs to be set up and configured individually.
To view data in Packet decoder grids during pl ayback, you need to enabl e the packet decoding
function (Measurement settings button General Properties, Advanced button) prior to
performing data measurements. Select Full or Partial in the Enabl e IP Capture field. A separate
.pcap-file will be generated for the measurement, and this file needs to accompany the
measurement fil e under the same folder when viewing and decoding packet capture information
in Packet Decoder grids i n Nemo Outdoor.
Configuring the Data Connection
Before you can start maki ng data transfers you need to define the actual connection that is
used for the transfer. The setup is different for CS and PS data transfers.
If you are making CS data transfers, see chapter Data Call Properties. If you are making PS data
transfers, see chapter Packet Session Settings.
Data Call Properties
Data Call properties are needed to establish the circuit-switched data connection. Open the Data Call
Properties dialog by double-clicking the Circuit-Switched Data Call item in the Devices view.
There are separate views for GSM, UMTS, and CDMA. The parameters are the same. The UMTS and
CDMA views just have fewer parameters.
A PPP compatible di al-up server is required for CS data testing. Settings related to the dial -up
server (number, username, and password) are operator-specific.
94 Nemo Outdoor User Manual


Number defines the number to be called of the dial-up server.
Username refers to the dial-up server username.
Password refers to the dial-up server password.
Transparent mode defines whether transparent or non-transparent mode is used in the CS data call.

TCP/UDP Protocol Configuration (Iperf)
Note that it is required that Nemo Server be used with Iperf testing as the original Iperf service
is slightl y modified for optimal performance.
Open the TCP/UDP Protocol Configuration dialogs by double-clicking the TCP (IPerf) and UDP
(IPerf) items in the Devices view.






Host name is the IP address used in Nemo Server.
Note that if you have multiple simultaneous data connections on different terminals, each
connection must have its own IP address.
Note that if you are doing multiple simultaneous data transfers on a single terminal, the same IP
address can be used.
Note that Firewall should be turned off.
Host port refers to the port used by Nemo Server. For TCP and UDP protocols, the default port is
5001.
Connection timeout defines the time in seconds for how long Nemo Outdoor waits for the connection
to be established. If a connection is not established within the defined time, connection attempt will
fail.
Listen port refers to the port used by the client. For TCP and UDP protocols, the default port is 6015.
Direction defines whether you are sending or receiving data, or both.
DURI NG MEASUREMENTS 97


Transfer timeout determines the maximum waiting time after data connection. If the transfer attempt
timeout value is exceeded before data connection, the data connection attempt will be stopped and
the attempt will be marked as a failure. The range of Transfer timeout values is from 0 to 60 seconds.
The value is recommended to be at least 10 seconds.
TCP window size defines the size of the receive window during TCP/IP transmission. If it is too small,
it can decrease the maximum data throughput, and if it is too high it can increase the retransmission
round-trip time (RTT). To be able to avoid decrease of data throughput, the window size should be at
least the maximum throughput multiplied by RTT. For example, with HSDPA with category 8 the
maximum throughput is about 7.3 Mbit/s and RTT is about 100 ms. To avoid reduction of the
throughput the TCP window size should be set at least to 7.3 Mbit/s * 0.1 s =730 kbit =91.25 kB.
Downlink testing (these values are indicative only):
Max. throughput ~RTT (ms) TCP window size (kbit) TCP window size (kB)

TCP buffer size is the amount of data that can be buffered during a connection without a validation
from the receiver. It can be between 1 and 8291 kbytes.
UDP buffer size is the amount of data that can be buffered during a connection without a validation
from the receiver. It can be between 1 and 8291 kbytes.
UDP bandwidth defines how much data is attempted to be transmitted. Since UDP does not
guarantee successful data transmission, it is not limited by maximum throughput of the lower layers. If
higher data transmission rate is used, the packet error rate (PER) increases. For example, if lower
layers are capable of transmitting 100kbit/s and UDP bandwidth is configured to 400kbit/s, there
should be a 75% packet error rate (only every fourth packet has been able to transmit successfully).
Naturally UDP bandwidth should not be configured too small since it limits the maximum throughput
that is not normally desired.
98 Nemo Outdoor User Manual

UDP datagram size defines the size of the UDP packet in bytes. It should be smaller than the
maximum packet size of the lower layers to be able to avoid packet fragmentation in the lower layers.
Packet fragmentation has a huge negative impact to the achieved data throughput and it should be
avoided. On the other hand if too small UDP packet size is used the portion of the UDP and IP header
increases which decreases the amount of transmitted user data with the result of smaller data
throughput. Normally good maximum value for UDP datagram is a little bit less than maximum
Ethernet packet size which is 1,500 bytes. A good default value for the UDP datagram size is 1,460
bytes.
Number of threads defines the number of parallel Iperf data transfers.
Transfer duration defines the length of the data transfer in seconds.
Transfer data size defines the length of the total data transfer in kilobytes; that is, the transfer finishes
when the defined amount of data has been transferred. The size of the individual data packages is
defined in the Packet Size field.
Note that if you have chosen Transfer data size from the Packet Transfer Properties di alog, the
Transfer duration option will be disabled. This is because when the Transfer data size option is
used, the transmission will end after a certain amount of data has been transferred. It is not
limited by time.
Next, click OK to return to the Measurement Properties dialog. Click the PDP Context Properties
button.
Configuring the FTP Protocol
Nemo Outdoor has an integrated FTP client, which can be used to measure data transfer rates
between Nemo Outdoor and the FTP server. The server can be any standard FTP server. Current
data throughput and transferred data size are reported during transfer. The FTP module supports
firewall-friendly passive mode transfers. Normally when a data transfer is initialized, the server opens
a new connection to the client and then data is transferred through this connection. Some firewalls
may be configured to refuse any incoming connection requests, and in that case the data transfer
would fail. With passive mode, the client always opens those new connections so the firewall does not
block the connection.
A PPP compatible di al-up server is required for CS data testing. Settings related to the dial -up
server (number, username, and password) are operator-specific.
If you encounter problems with the data transfer, deactivate the firewall on the computer where
you are running Nemo Outdoor.
To set up data measurements using FTP
1. Follow the instructions in the Dial-Up Networking Setup Guide to set up a dial-up connection and
to connect and configure the measurement devices.
2. Define measurement-related settings in the Measurement Properties dialog (see Measurement

Number of threads defines in how many threads the test file is split during an FTP transfer. For
example, the size of the downloaded file is 10MB. The number of threads is set to five. Nemo Outdoor
splits the 10MB file into five fragments with the size of 2MB each. All five FTP transfer sessions are
started simultaneously. Each thread creates a new FTP session and transfers a fragment of the file.
Total application data throughput is recorded including all threads. Resume is not supported with multi
threaded FTP transfers. In case of a data drop, all threads will start from the beginning.
Remote file defines the name and location of the file that is on the FTP server. If you are receiving
data, this is the source file. If you are sending data, this is the destination file.
Note that if you have multiple simultaneous data connections and the di recti on is set to send
for all of them, you must define a different remote file for each connection. Otherwise the
different data connections will try to write in the same file.
Al so note that if there are several testing units usi ng the same FTP server, we recommend that
you use a unique file name extension (e.g., fil ename_tester1.txt, fil ename_tester2.txt, etc.) for
each unit to avoid a situation where two testing units are trying to write in the same file.
Local file defines the name and location of the file that is on your laptop. If you are receiving data, this

START EXTERNAL APPLICATION
This feature allows users to launch external applications from Nemo Outdoor as a part of the
automatic measurement sequence. You can define the executable as well as the command-line
parameters. With Nemo Invex, you can run external applications also on the measurement servers
(UICs).
The external application can be used to launch any proprietary or third-party applications that are not
built into Nemo Outdoor. This enables, for example, the testing of data protocols that are not currently
supported by Nemo Outdoor. You can then monitor the data throughputs from the PPP data
throughput parameter.
The external application feature can also be used to test web browsing. An APP event is written to the
log file when a web browser is launched and closed. The user must set the cache size to minimum
from the browser settings.
DURI NG MEASUREMENTS 143


The Start External Application dialog is accessed through the Script Editor, Add menu. Select Start
External Application from the menu.

Application Name defines the application that you want to run from Nemo Outdoor while making
measurements. Define the path where the application .exe file is located on your computer. For
example, C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe.
Please note that clicking the Browse button will onl y show the folders on the local computer. If
you want to run an external application on a measurement server (Nemo Invex), check the path
from that server, for example, with Remote Desktop and type in the path manuall y.
If you select the Wait until completed option, the test script will be on hold until the external
application is closed.
Arguments defines what file or web page will be opened in the external application once it is started.
For example, if you start Internet Explorer, define here a URL (http://www.anite.com/nemo). You can

ICMP PING
The ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) Ping functionality allows you to perform ping
measurements simultaneously with data transfers.

Host name refers to the IP address or URL that is being pinged, for example, www.anite.com. You
can use Packet Data Tester or any IP server. J ust make sure that the IP server used will respond to
the ping.
Packet size is the size of the ping packet that is used to measure ping time. The value determines the
size of the packet sent to the server. In addition, it determines the size of the reply packet that the
server uses to reply Nemo Outdoor.
Timeout determines the maximum time that Nemo Outdoor waits for a reply packet from the server. If
this time is exceeded, the ping measurement event will be created by using the timeout parameter
(=-1).
Delay defines the delay duration in milliseconds. In addition to the duration, also define where the
delay will occur. The options are:
Delay between requests which means the protocol will always wait for a reply before sending
new request. If the delay is less than the ping delay, a new request is sent immediately after
the reply.
Delay from reply to request which means a new ping is sent after a reply is received.
Select the Repeat n times option if you would like to define the number of times the ping
measurement is repeated.
Select the Repeat until stopped option if you would like to continue the ping measurement until you
stop it manually.
DURI NG MEASUREMENTS 145


Exampl e 1. RTT time is 100ms and delay from reply to request is set to 1 s. New request is sent
every 1.1s (100ms +1000ms). If delay between request is selected, a new request is sent every
1000ms.

Exampl e 2. RTT time is 100ms and delay from reply to request is set to 50ms. New request is sent
every 150ms (100ms +50ms). If delay between request is selected, a new request is sent every
100ms because the protocol always waits for a reply before sending a new request.

To make ping measurements:
1. Open the Ping Settings dialog by double-clicking the ICMP Ping item in the Devices view.
2. Define the required ping parameters and click OK.
3. Click the Start Recording button .
4. In the Devices view, click on the Measurement control button and select Start Packet
Session. Wait until the status field in the Device Status window says PDP Context Activated.
5. From the Measurement control menu, select Start ICMP Ping. If you selected the Ping until
stopped option in the Ping Settings dialog, select Stop ICMP Ping to stop the ping measurement.
Otherwise, the ping will be repeated the user-defined number of times.
MEASUREMENT PROFILES
To make the measurement configuration for different devices more convenient, you can create
measurement profiles. A measurement profile contains all the necessary settings for making data
transfers, voice/video calls, sending messages, etc. The measurement profiles can also be exported
to another Nemo Outdoor system. See chapter Export/Import Settings for more information on
exporting settings.
To create a new measurement profile, go to the Devices view and click the arrow button next to a
service (e.g. voice call or Facebook) and select Edit Measurement Profiles.

IP PACKET CAPTURING
Please note that IP packet capturing is not supported on 64-bit Windows.
With IP packet capturing, network packets sent between IP addresses are stored in log files and can
be post-processed with a third party application such as Ethereal. A separate log file is generated for
each test terminal making data transfers.
In order to use IP packet capturing in Nemo Outdoor, you must configure a dial-up connection (see the
Dial-Up Networking Setup Guide for more information) and install the Network Monitor driver for the
dial-up connection.
After setting up the dial-up connection, go to Microsoft website to download the free Network Monitor
installation package. Select the NM34_x86_setup.exe installation file and click on Download.
1. Once the installation file is downloaded, double-click on it. The Microsoft Network Monitor 3.4

IP packet capture measurement option has four states: disabled, enabled, partial, and full.
Disabled: IP packet monitoring is not performed at all
Enabled: a separate .pcap file is not written but, for example, KPI, IP service access time is
recorded
Parti al: only message headers are recorded
Full: all messages are recorded
The IP packet data is stored in a separate file (.pcap) for each measurement terminal for which IP
capturing is enabled.
To view data in Packet decoder grids during playback, you need to enable the packet decoding
function prior to performing data measurements. Select Full in the Enabl e IP Capture field. A
separate .pcap-file will be generated for the measurement. This file needs to accompany the
measurement file in the same folder when viewing and decoding packet capture information in Packet
Decoder grids in Nemo Outdoor.
148 Nemo Outdoor User Manual

Performing IP Packet Capturing:
1. Set up a dial-up connection (see Dial-Up Networking Setup Guide for instructions).
2. In Nemo Outdoor, enable IP capturing in the Advanced Properties dialog.
3. IP packet capturing data is stored in a separate file (.pcap) for each measurement terminal and the
data can be analyzed with Ethereal.
MAKING SCRIPT FILES
Note that it is not possibl e to use scripts with scanners.
The script file is an ASCII file containing the list of numbers that are to be called. The extension for all
Script files is .nsf. You can edit the Script file configuration in the Script Editor dialog.
You can access this dialog by selecting Measurement | Script Editor (Ctrl+E).

The table in the middle will show a list of all functions and parameters that will be executed during a
measurement.
Click the Add button to add commands in the script.
Modify can be used to edit an existing script entry. Select a row from the table and click the button to
change the settings for that function.
Delete deletes the selected entry row.
Move Up moves the selected entry row up by one row in the script.
Move Down moves the selected entry down by one row in the script.
Insert Script can be used to insert the contents of another script file into the current script.
Repeat Script value defines how many times the script will be repeated during the measurements.
The range of repeat script values is from 1 to 10,000.
DURI NG MEASUREMENTS 149


When the Use device setti ngs for script commands option is selected, the settings that have been
configured in the Measurement Properties dialog are used for the script settings. For example, if you
have defined a Voice number in the Measurement Properties Configuration dialog, that number is
used when you add a voice call in the script and the Voice Call Properties dialog does not appear.
New clears the entry fields for inserting new script values.
Open opens a dialog for selecting an existing script file to be modified or reviewed.
Save saves the file with the existing name or if the script is a new one, opens a dialog for inserting the
file name.
Close exits the dialog.
Notes about script functi ons:
Scrambling code or removed scrambling code can be selected for conditional testing using the IF
loop
Examples of conditions:
o Is different: If UMTS carrier RSSI is different than -70dBm
Whenever the value is other than -70dBm, IF condition is triggered
o Is changed: If UMTS carrier RSSI is changed
Whenever the UMTS carrier RSSI value changes, the IF condition is triggered.
The reference value is unknown, which means that when starting the measurement
and when the first UMTS carrier RSSI value is received, the IF condition is triggered.
The next trigger occurs when the carrier RSSI value is different from the previous
value. For example,
1. Carrier RSSI value in the log file: -70dBm triggers the IF string
2. Carrier RSSI value -70dBm nothing happens
3. Carrier RSSI value -68dBm Triggers the IF string
150 Nemo Outdoor User Manual

Script Transfer Stop Commands
With the forced stop command it is possible to abort a current script command. For example, a data
transfer can be canceled if the serving system changes, instead of waiting for its completion. It is also
possible to set a time duration for data transfers. If a data transfer is not completed during a user-
defined time, the Nemo Outdoor application will abort the data transfer automatically. Please note that
in this case the data disconnection status is written as Normal data disconnect.

The forced stop command, e.g., with voice calls, can be used in conjunction with conditional or wait
commands as well. For example, if a call should be stopped when the system changes from GSM to
UMTS, the forced stop command can be used to end the call immediately after the system changes.
In the example below, the voice call is started only when the serving system is GSM. Call duration is
set to 120 seconds. It should be noted that the actual call duration is set with line three, Wait until
system is UMTS but at most 120s. After the call is connected, the script starts waiting for the system
to be changed to UMTS, or at most 120 seconds. The call is ended with End a voice call (forced)
with line 4 after 120 seconds, or when system changes to UMTS; whichever comes first.

GSM voice call example. Voice call is started onl y in GSM and aborted when system changes to UMTS.
DURI NG MEASUREMENTS 151


The forced stop command can be used also to stop active data transfers. In the example below the
script waits until the system changes to UMTS. Once the system is in UMTS, the script waits 5
seconds before making a voice call followed by PDP context activation and FTP data transfer. The
script stops, waiting until the system changes to GSM, but at most for 60 seconds. If the system
changes to GSM before 60 seconds, the voice call is continued normally until a 60-second call
duration is reached. FTP data transfer is aborted immediately when the system changes to GSM, or
after 60 seconds, whichever comes first. If line eight were End a voice call (forced), the voice call
would be stopped immediately after inter-RAT handover occurred.

In the following you will see a PS data and voice call example. The data transfer is aborted when the
system changes to GSM, or after 60 seconds; voice call is continued. The call duration is 60 seconds.

152 Nemo Outdoor User Manual

In the following you will see another PS data and voice call example. The data transfer and voice call
are aborted when the system changes to GSM, or after 60 seconds, whichever comes first.

The voice call is aborted when the system changes to GSM, or after 60 seconds, but data transfer is
continued normally with the Stop FTP transfer (Normal) command.

Add Menu

The Add menu contains all the items that can be used in a script. Selecting an item may open a dialog
where you need to define some parameters and settings. See earlier chapters for more detailed
information on the dialogs. The Start External Application item is described in more detail in chapter
Start External Application.
In the Script Editor, by clicking Add and selecting Send DTMF Characters you are able to send
DTMF sequences. You can e.g. make calls to service numbers that work by using DTMF tones. This
command can only be used during voice calls.
154 Nemo Outdoor User Manual

Wait Settings
To add pauses in the script, select Wait. In the Wait Settings dialog you can define different
conditions for the wait. You can also define custom conditions.

With the Wait until the time is option you can define a point in time after which the script continues.
With the Wait for all scripts to be synchronized option you can place multiple synchronization points
inside the script file. Nemo Outdoors script group functionality enables you to synchronize the script
files and/or certain lines in the script file for certain devices. Both synchronization methods can be
used together or separately depending on needs of the user.
In the following example below both devices are doing PS data transfers. The idea is to start FTP
download simultaneously. Script files for both devices are identical except that IP address is different.
Wait for script synchronization command has been selected for both devices in the Wait settings
dialog. The Wait for script synchronization is seen on line two for both devices.

DURI NG MEASUREMENTS 155


Both devices have been assigned for the same script group called PS data.

Script groups are useful especially if certain devices and when script files are needed to be
synchronized. In this example, it is not necessary to use the script group. As many synchronization
points as needed can be added to the script files. It should be noted that the number of
synchronization points between script files used in the same script group should be equal.
With the Current time option you can define a pause between items in the script. For example, you
can set a 10 second pause after a voice call is finished and before the next call starts.
With the Last notification option you can define a wait period after certain event notifications. For
example, you can make the script pause for 60 seconds after a call attempt event. This will prevent
the script from continuing before the call attempt has completed.
Note that also custom-made notifications can be selected here.
With the Next notification option you can make the script wait for a certain event notification to
appear. For example, you can make the script wait until the system changes from GSM to UMTS.
The until: Current system option enables you to define that the script file continues only when the
system selected from the drop-down menu is in use.
But at most value is the maximum wait time in seconds if the defined notification does not appear.
156 Nemo Outdoor User Manual

With the Custom condition option you can make the script wait for a custom condition. Click the Edit
Rules button to access the Wait Custom Conditions dialog where you can define a wait condition.
For example, you can define a specific parameter value.

Adding a pause in the script file:
1. First define the wait time in seconds.
2. Then define from which point onwards the wait time is calculated: from the current time or after a
certain event notification, such as, call attempt.
3. If you selected the Last notification or Next notification option, define also the maximum wait time in
seconds after which the script will continue.

Conditional Blocks
By selecting Advanced | If/End If, you will enter the If Condition Settings dialog. Here you can
define criteria which have to be met until a set of commands between the If - End If block in the script
takes place. If the criteria set in this dialog are met, Outdoor will perform the set of commands within
the If - End If block, and if the criteria are not met, this set of commands will be skipped altogether and
the script resumes from the first item after the End If command.

Click on the Field tab to select a system and a parameter from the drop-down menu. In the Condition
and Value fields you can define the value conditions for the parameter which have to be met for the
commands inside the If-End If block to take place. In this example the serving system must be UMTS
FDD. You can select the system in the Value drop-down menu. Click Add to li st to add the condition
to the list. If you want to remove the condition from the list, select it and click Remove. Click OK.
Next, add commands to the script from the Add menu, and move them to their appropriate places with
the Move Up and Move Down tabs. In the following example script, Serving sys.=5 on the fourth row
in the Parameters field indicates the criteria that were set earlier. If the criteria are met, the commands
between the If Condition and End If commands will be performed.

the loop to take place. Click the Fi eld button to select a parameter. Then define the condition and
value for the selected parameter. Finally click Add to l ist and OK to add the loop in the script.
In the first example, the loop has been set to be repeated twice before continuing with the script. Click
OK and add the wanted script commands in the script from the Add menu. You can move the
commands to their appropriate places with the Move Up and Move Down tabs. In the example below
the voice call within the loop will be repeated twice before continuing with the script.

160 Nemo Outdoor User Manual

The second loop option allows the user to define criteria which need to be met for the loop to be
repeated. In the example below the system and parameter (UMTS | Ec/N0 (Active)) have been
selected from the Field drop-down menu. The condition for the loop is that the parameter value needs
to be greater or equal to -5. Click Add to list and OK. The commands inside the loop block will be
performed only and as long as the Ec/N0 (Active) value is greater or equal to -5.

In the example below the script is set to start and continue making calls only when and as long as the
call is connected to UMTS. As soon as there is a handover from UMTS to GSM, the call stops.

FORCING FUNCTIONS
Nemo Outdoor offers a set of forcing functions that are accessible through the Nemo Outdoor user
interface. In addition to these, some terminals support more forcing features that are accessible via
the mobile keypad. See the terminal-specific data sheets for more information on the forcing features
available for each terminal.
Channel Locking
This functionality i s avail able for GSM and UMTS mobiles onl y.
You can lock GSM and UMTS test mobiles to a channel and/or scrambling code during the
measurement process. Note that even though you are locking the mobile to a certain channel in idle
mode, you are actually locking the mobile only to the base station supporting that channel at that
moment if you make a call. As the base station can carry several channels simultaneously, the
connection can be established or handed over to another channel but not to another base station. In
other words, the channel used cannot be totally controlled by the mobile as the system will assign the
channel.
To lock the Nemo Outdoor test mobile to a channel:
Note that when the channel lock is activated, the Neighbor Stations window displays onl y
Serving Cell values.
Note that if you are using the single mode, you must keep the test mobile connected to the
power cord. If the mobile is not connected to the power cord and the program switches it off,
you must switch the mobile on manual l y.
DURI NG MEASUREMENTS 167


1. When you have connected the measurement device, select the device and click the Measurement
settings button in the Devices view and select Channel Locking. You can also select
Measurement | <device name> | Channel Locking. The Channel Locking dialog will appear on
your screen.

2. Enter the system and channel number and/or scrambling code within the given limits (it must be a
valid channel/scrambling code number) and click the Lock button. The button will remain pushed
down indicating that channel lock is activated. A red indicator will appear in the Device Status view
when a lock is activated.

3. Click the Unlock button in the Forcing functions | Channel locking dialog to release the channel
lock.

Band Locking
You can use band locking if you want to compare how the network functions with different bands and
systems. Using the Band Locking dialog, you can force the mobile to use certain bands or system(s).
You can open the Band Locking dialog by selecting the device and clicking the Measurement
settings button in the Devices view and choosing Band Locking.

Choose the band(s) or system(s) from the list and click the Lock button. This will lock the mobile to the
band/system you have chosen. Click Close to exit the dialog.
A red indicator will appear in the Device Status view when a lock is activated.

To release the band lock, open the Band Locking dialog and click the Unlock button.
DURI NG MEASUREMENTS 169


Handover Control
This functionality i s avail able onl y with certain Nokia terminal s.
Forcing handovers can be used to check that they work properly. You do not have to wait for the
mobile to make handovers, as you can, for example, force a handover to every neighbor cell.
Start a measurement and initiate a call (Measurement control button | Start Voi ce Call). Open
the Handover Control dialog (Measurement settings button | Handover Control). Define the
channel and handover type and click OK.

The BCCH ARFCN can be used to select the broadcast control channel (1-885) you want to force the
handover to.
The BSIC field defines the Base station identification code for the target cell.
The user has three mode request commands, Normal mode, Handover forcing and Handover
suppression. If the terminal accepts the command made by the user, the corresponding button will
indicate this. If the command fails, the user is notified. It is also possible to send the same command
several times without clicking other commands (i.e. send a new Handover Forcing command with
different bias values or forced the terminal to different scr. code, or in GSM to a different channel
without first deactivating HO forcing). For example, the device can be forced to scrambling code 6.
Once the terminal is locked to scrambling code 6, the user can set a new target cell and press the
Handover forcing button again.
The Target cell settings and Non-Target cell settings fields enable the user to define 3G offsets, i.e.
enhance target cell Ec/N0 and RSCP, and degrade non-target cell Ec/N0 and RSCP)
170 Nemo Outdoor User Manual

During Normal mode, forcing is disabled and the terminal performs 2G and 3G handovers normally.

The system field shown in the Target cell field shows in real time whether the serving system is GSM
or WCDMA. When the serving system is GSM, the target cell and non-target cell settings are disabled.
In case the current serving system is GSM, but the wanted target cell is in WCDMA, band locking can
be used first to lock the terminal to WCDMA.

DURI NG MEASUREMENTS 171


Once target cell settings including biasing information are defined by the user, handover mode can be
changed to Handover forcing mode by pressing the button. Handover forcing is done by biasing target
and non-target cell Ec/N0 and RSCP values. Therefore it is also possible to bias the current active
cell. For example, in the example below active set includes only one scrambling code. By pressing the
Handover forcing button, the terminal reports biasing Ec/N0 and RSCP values as set by the user.
When the mode is changed back to Normal mode the terminal reports unbiased values.

In the next example regarding Forced 3G handover and measurement report modification, the terminal
active set includes scrambling code 63 with Ec/N0 value -7.6dB shown as a brown curve. Scrambling
code 6 and 255 are seen in the monitored set with colors blue and green. Scrambling code 6 is
selected to be a target cell.

172 Nemo Outdoor User Manual

Once the button is pressed, scrambling code number 6 is added to active set with Ec/N0 value -4.7dB.
Scrambling codes seen in the monitored set are decreased -10dB. Scrambling code 6 is seen with
Ec/N0 value -18.2dB (brown) and scrambling code 255 (green) is removed from the monitored set.

This situation is active as long as forcing/biasing is enabled. The device sends measurement reports
to the network with biased values.

Once the mode is changed back to normal, the terminal starts reporting unbiased values.

DURI NG MEASUREMENTS 173



When the Handover suppression button is pressed, the terminal is not allowed to do handovers to
other cells. It should be noted that target cell biasing can be done only with WCDMA. Biasing/
measurement report message modification is not possible with GSM at the moment. You can use this
feature, for example, to find the edge of a cell by stopping the handovers from taking place when
driving away from a base station.

Note that with scripts you can al so perform handover forcing from one system to another. See
chapter Making Script Fil es.

MISSING NEIGHBOR DETECTION
Real-time missing neighbor detection can be performed with the possibility to detect both
GSM/WCDMA and CDMA missing neighbors at the same time. Missing neighbor measurements are
also supported on some Nokia terminals. You have three options in which to perform missing neighbor
detection:
DURI NG MEASUREMENTS 177


1. with a mobile terminal supporting missing neighbor detection,
2. a scanner, or
3. a scanner and a mobile.
Each cell has list of neighboring intra-frequency, inter-frequency, and inter-system cells. A terminal
sees/measures only cells in the neighbor list, whereas a scanner measures all available cells. Missing
neighbor detection is based on comparing scanner measurements with the neighbor list of the mobile.
Hence, a possible missing neighbor refers to a cell that is not in the neighbor list of the mobile at a
given time, but is detected/measured by the scanner. In mobile only missing neighbor measurements,
the mobile is able to detect also missing neighbors through the missing neighbor detection
functionality.
Missing Neighbor Detection with a Mobile
1. Connect your mobile phone to Nemo Outdoor.
2. In the Devices view, select the device and click the Measurement control button . Select
Frequency Scanning Properties. Select BSIC decoding and Missing neighbor detection in the
Frequency scanning view. Next, click on Select Channels.

Note that both BSIC decoding and Missing neighbor detection need to be selected and Top-N
option deselected.
1. Select the channels for scanning in the Select Channels dialog.
2. Click OK and OK.
178 Nemo Outdoor User Manual

3. Start the device by pressing on the work online button if you have not done this already, and
select Measurement control | Start Single Shot Scanning or Start Continuous Scanning.

4. Once the selected scans have been performed, Nemo Outdoor compares the scanning results to
the neighbor list of the serving cell before scanning was initiated and reports possible detected
missing neighbors.
Missing Neighbor Detection with a Scanner/Scanner and Mobile
You will need a scanner or a scanner and a mobile. If you are performing missing neighbor detection
with a scanner only, the scanner needs either of the following options enabled: GSM Layer 3 or
GSM/WCDMA decoding. Note that missing neighbor detection using a scanner onl y i s not
available for CDMA/EVDO.
A scanner scans all possible pilots whereas a mobile scans only channels that are on its neighbor list.
Nemo Outdoor compares these two measurements and, based on the data, reports the neighbor
channels that are seen by the scanner but are not in the mobile's neighbor list. You can observe the
missing neighbors in a bar graph and also view some important network parameters, such as,
difference to strongest, Ec/N0, and RSCP related to the missing neighbors.
Connect a mobile and a scanner to Nemo Outdoor. Configure the devices so that they are measuring
the same frequency and channels.
From Measurement | <device name>, select Missing Neighbor to open the following dialog. The
field displays the scanner(s) used. The user can also set a minimum RX level threshold for missing
neighbor. If the measured RX level is below the threshold, the channel is not detected as a missing
neighbor. Click on Enable to start the missing neighbor detection.

DURI NG MEASUREMENTS 179


In GSM Missing Neighbor detection, the maximum number of missing neighbors is 32. However, note
that it is recommended to use default values to prevent false missing neighbor detection results.
Number of missing neighbors: Max. 32, default 3.
RX level: -50- -110dBm, default -95dBm

Open a bar graph, for example, with a Missing Neighbor Ec/N0 layer (Data | Bar Graph | New, click
the New Layer button and select the parameter in the Y box). The bar graph with the selected
parameter will display the missing neighbor channel(s).


PILOT POLLUTION ANALYSIS
Available for UMTS, CDMA and EVDO networks, Pilot Pollution Analysis measurements can be
performed in real time with Nemo Outdoor by using test terminals or a scanning receiver. In a pilot
pollution situation there are more active/monitored pilots than a handset can measure, or there is no
clear dominance for any pilots in the area. The pilot signal is used to distinguish cells in the network
from one another. Pilot pollution analysis is done based on CELL MEASUREMENT events, and
analysis is always active. The user can define thresholds for pilot pollution analysis via Nemo
Outdoors UI. Pilot pollution is detected when all the criterias match.
Right-click on the device in the Devices view and select Pilot Pollution Anal ysis.
180 Nemo Outdoor User Manual


The user can define thresholds for pilot pollution analysis via Nemo Outdoor user interface.

GSM INTERFERENCE ANALYSIS
In GSM mobile communication networks, system capacity is often limited by co-channel interference.
This is because of the surrounding cells using the same carrier frequency, or adjacent channel
interference when surrounding cells use a channel too close to the serving cell used by a terminal.
The GSM recommendations state that reference interference will be achieved at a minimum C/I
margin of 9 dB for co-channel interference, and that the margin is -9 dB C/I for adjacent channel
interference with voice. With packet switched data connection C/I margin should be much higher.
Interference source can be a BCCH or TCH channel, or it can be also from out of band in some
circumstances. ETSI 05.05 requirements for the interference rejection are:
Co-channel channel interference: z =9 dB
200 kHz adjacent channel: z =-9dB
184 Nemo Outdoor User Manual

400 kHz adjacent channel: z =-41dB
600 kHz adjacent channel: z =-49dB
GSM co-channel and adjacent channel analysis is done in real time during the measurement and
playback with Nemo Outdoor. The user must enable interference analysis similarly, as with, e.g.
missing neighbor detection. Interference detection is done based on GSM terminal and GSM scanner
measurements and these measurements are combined together. GSM terminal continuously reports
RX level, RX quality and C/I values. With RX level and RX quality, the sub values are used to make
correct analysis in case DTX downlink is used.
In idle mode C/I and RX level values are used to trigger interference analysis from the BCCH channel.
A decent RX level with a simultaneous poor C/I value is a clear sign of an interference situation. Once
triggering is done, the power of BCCH channel used by a terminal is measured also by a scanning
receiver. BCCH decoding must be enabled with a scanning receiver to decode BSIC information.
Power of adjacent channels are (+/ - 1) is also measured by the scanning receiver. It should be noted
that the C/I value is not available with all test terminals in idle mode. Due to this limit interference
analysis in idle mode cannot be performed with all GSM test terminals.
During dedicated mode, RX level sub, RX quality sub and C/I reported by terminal are observed. C/I
value measured by the terminal is not available all the time in dedicated mode. For example, when
AMR speech codec is used, the terminal reports the LQE (Link Quality Estimate) value to the network.
During this time the C/I value reported by the terminal is not valid. Please note that all test terminals
do not report C/I value. Triggering points in dedicated mode are:
RX level sub and RX quality sub, OR RX level sub and C/I
These two combinations are observed all the time during the measurement to trigger interference
analysis. Analysis is based on TCH channel numbers if valid data is available, or BCCH if no TCH
channel data is found. If frequency hopping is used, C/I average value is used. The user can define
triggering limits via the Nemo Outdoor user interface. Default values are:
RX Level Sub is above or equal user-defined threshold (default value -90 dBm)
RX Quality Sub is above or equal user defined threshold (default value 4)
Channel average C/I is below or equal user defined threshold (default value 10 dB)

The following data is extracted from the terminal and written to the terminal measurement file:
Terminal serving channel number
or TCH channels in case of frequency hopping
DURI NG MEASUREMENTS 185


Cell ID
RX level sub
RX quality sub
C/I if available
For each terminal serving channel number X, the following data is extracted from scanner

appearance) or one straight line
Sort(Y): Support for data sorting based on y-value in bar graph. Data can be sorted based on
descending or ascending order
Draw as area defines whether the area below the line is filled
Area transparency defines transparency value used in filling the area (0 =totally opaque, 100 =
totally transparent)
Averaging refers to whether moving average is used in drawing the line
There is an option to manually configure graph layer colors. This feature can be used with line and bar
graphs. The Color field determines whether the graph line is colored with a Classic (algorithmic) or
fixed color set, or whether a color set based on parameter values is used (see chapter Graph Layer
Color Configuration).
202 Nemo Outdoor User Manual

Window size defines the number of values to be averaged
Automatic scale the minimum and maximum values of the scale are defined automatically based on
the minimum and maximum values visible on the screen
Use value scale defaults: the minimum and maximum values of the scale can be defined by the user,
so the maximum and minimum values are not dependent on the values that are displayed. Note that if
you want to select No in the drop-down menu, Automatic scale also needs to be set to No.
Minimum defines the minimum value of the scale, if Automatic scale is set to No. If Automatic scale is
set to Yes, this is not used
Maximum defines the maximum value of the scale if Automatic scale is set to No. If Automatic scale is
set to Yes, this is not used
Minimum and maximum threshold define the maximum and minimum values at which the user-
defined limits for a measurement result is set. Horizontal lines help determine if the value goes below
or above the minimum and maximum values.
Depending on the parameter, it is possible to define various filters:
Channel: list of channels whose measurement values are shown (Ch =ch1 or ch2 or ch 3 or AND
Pilot 0 p1 or p2 or o3 or...). If the list is empty, no filtering is used
Pilot: list of channels and pilots whose measurement values are shown (Ch =ch1 or ch2 or ch 3 or
AND Pilot 0 p1 or p2 or o3 or...). If the list is empty, appropriate filtering is not used so that it is
possible to filter only channels, only pilots or both
Frequency: list of frequencies whose measurement values are shown (Freq =f1 or f2 or f3 or); if
the list is empty, no filtering is used
TopN: only N best measurement results are shown based on a defined parameter. If 0, no filtering is
used
TopN(Y): Support for best TOP-N filtering based on y-value in line and bar graphs. E.g., only the best
two values can be seen in the line or bar graph
BottomN(y): This can be done by selecting number of topN and select sorting order. E.g., below
bottom three RX levels are shown.
Some of the graph types support data tips. Hover the mouse cursor over the graph line or bar. The
data tip will display information from that point of time.
Parameters with instantaneous values display points instead of a line in a graph. Such parameters
are, for example, RACH TX Power, RACH Preamble Step and RACH Preamble Count. Such graphs
include also the following layer properties.
Point style allows you to select among various icons such as a triangle or a cross to display the
instantaneous values in the graph
Point size defines the size of the points in pixels in the graph
Point transparency defines the degree of point transparency.
DURI NG MEASUREMENTS 203



In the following example three RACH parameters are shown in the graph, and each of them has a
different point style.

Arrow Down/Up
The Arrow Down and Arrow Up icons will move the selected layer up or down in the graph

Grid Color Configuration Based on Decoded Message in Grids
Messages and Events grids can be color-coded based on a string in a messages decoded message.
In this case, you need to create a new color set in the Color Set Editor. It is possible to color-code both
the text in the grid and the background color. While you can choose to colorize only one of them, it is
also possible to color-code both text and background. For example, you can have a message appear
in white text and blue background color. However, in that case remember to create two new color sets
for the same string, for example, Decoded Text_1 and Decoded Text_2. Below you will see an
example of how to create a color set and set it for the background color. Click Add

Grid Color Configuration in Events Grids Based on Message Name
Messages in Events grids can also be color-coded based on the message name. You can color-code
the message text or the background color, or both. Color-coding a message based on its name is
done in the same way as color-coding a message based on a specific string in its decoded message.
However, when creating the new color set in the Color Set Editor | Color Set Properties | String
Properties, you need to type the name of the message you want to color-code instead of the string in
the decoded message. Below you will see an example of two color sets made for the same message
name. Further, both the message text and background will be colorized. Click OK.

Also click OK in the Color Set Properti es and Color Set Editor dialogs.

DURI NG MEASUREMENTS 229



The contents of the condition menu vary depending on which item in the filter target menu is selected.

Note also that a separate, independent condition needs to be added from the plus icon at the top
left-hand corner of the dialog. If a condition has two or more constituents, the plus icon next to the
first constituent needs to be clicked. In this case the conditions are indented and combined with one
another with the text and if, and both conditions need to be met for the filtering to take place.
In the example above, a line is filtered out if a message contains a missing neighbor ec/n0 value that
is less than -5. The second filtering rule states that if a message name contains the text
SYSTEM_INFORMATION_BCH and if a message contains SysInfoType18, the message is filtered
out from the grid.

MapX Maps
You can customize the MapX map view using the MapX properties. The customized settings can be
saved in a MapInfo Geoset file (.gst) and loaded later on. MapInfo Workspaces (*.wor file) cannot be
directly opened with MapX, but can be saved as a .gst file in MapInfo Professional using the MapInfo
MapX Geoset Utility tool (Geoset.mbx) that ships with version 5.x of MapInfo Professional. This file
(.gst) can be directly opened by MapX in Nemo Outdoor.
Each MapInforaster map has two files: an image file (.tif. .gif, .jpg) and a .tab file When MapInfo
raster maps are used, the image file is the actual map image file. The .tab file contains information
about a map (such as location coordinates) and is used by Nemo Outdoor to refer to a particular map.
When using vector data for MapInfo, there are three different files that need to be in the same
directory, the .tab, .map, and the .id file. The corresponding image and .tab files for raster maps have
to be in the same folder in order to view a MapInfomap. If you are using a large map (size over 1
Mb), updating the map window will slow down Nemo Outdoor functions. We recommend you minimize
the map size by reducing the number of colors to 256 or 16, or turning the color map to black and
white.

Map Side Panel

The contents of the map side panel depend on which items have been selected in the map popup
menu. Right-click on a map and select Color Legend, Layers, and Waypoints in the popup menu to
view the three items above. You can drag each view to different places on the map as well, or dock it
to another side of the map window following the arrows that appear when you drag the window. When
you double-click on the displaced view, it will resume its original position in the side panel.
You can view three different kinds of items in the Layers view. The item indicates a device-
specific measurement route on the map, the item indicates a base station file connected to the
measurement route, and the item indicates a route plan. Double-click on an item to access its
Properties dialog (see Layer Properties). You can also access the Properties dialog by right-clicking
on the item and selecting Properties in the popup menu. When you right-click on a layer, the following
popup menu appears:
244 Nemo Outdoor User Manual


In the popup menu you can select whether or not you want to show or delete a layer. You can also
clear the option next to the layer item if you do not want to view it, or click on the X button next to the
option to delete the layer.
Through the Properties item you can access the layers Properties dialog (see Layer Properties),
and you can also add a new route or a new BTS file from the popup menu or directly from the Layers
view. The Add route functionality is useful, for example, when a multi measurement is loaded, and you
want to view all the routes in the Layers view and all the color legends in the Color legends view.
The Color legends view shows the selected color set for a measurement route. If you have loaded a
multi measurement and added multiple routes with assigned color sets on the map, the color legends
will be shown next to one another in this view. See chapter Color Set Editor on how to create and edit
color sets.

The Waypoints view is meant for controlling route plans. The Show next waypoint field is only
activated when at least one device and one GPS receiver are attached to Nemo Outdoor in online or
offline mode. This functionality is not active during measurement playback. See the Route Plans
chapter below for more information on waypoints.
Route Plans
Route plans are useful when you want to follow a certain route while performing a measurement. You
can create route plans automatically from a measurement in playback mode, or you can manually
create one with the Add waypoint functionality both during a measurement and during playback. In
addition, you can alter the route plans at any point through the control buttons in the Waypoints view in
the map side panel. You can save a route plan as a Route Plan File (.rpf), and if you have made any
changes to the route plan properties in the map window, you can save them as a custom window for
later use. The custom window will also contain changes made to the color set or Waypoints views.
If you have previously created and saved a route plan (.rpf), you can open it through the Open Route
Plan item in the map toolbar or by right-clicking on the map and selecting Open Route Plan from
the popup menu. The route plan (.rpf) is now viewed on the map and in the map side panel, and is
ready to be used in a measurement. By pressing Ctrl +A you can jump from one waypoint to the next.
DURI NG MEASUREMENTS 245


Creating and Modifying Route Plans with Waypoints
Start Nemo Outdoor with at least one device and a GPS receiver attached to it in online or offline
mode. You can select a ready workspace in the Nemo Outdoor Wel come page (see Configuration
through Welcome page) as you start Nemo Outdoor and view a map window, or alternatively you can
open a map manually from Data | Map.
You can create a route plan manually by clicking on the Add waypoint button in the map toolbar,
or by selecting Add Waypoint in the map popup menu, and clicking on the map. The Add button at
the bottom of the Waypoints view in the side panel is also activated. A new route plan (.rpf) appears
in the Layers view, and the Waypoints view is enabled. You can save the route plan for later use by
clicking on the Save Route Plan icon in the map toolbar or by selecting it in the map popup menu.

You can define waypoint-related settings in the Waypoint view in the side bar. The Show next
waypoint option should be selected when you want to view the next waypoint on the map during a
measurement. Note that the Show next waypoint functionality is only enabled in online or idle
mode, not during playback. The next waypoint is shown on the route as a big circle. If you clear the
Show next waypoint option, the Waypoint detection radius and Distance to next waypoint items
will also be disabled.
The Waypoint detection radius slider indicates at which distance (meters) the next waypoint is
selected. As you approach the next waypoint during a measurement, the next waypoint is selected on
the map when distance to it is smaller than the distance selected in the slide bar. The Distance to
next waypoint field indicates how many meters there still are to the next waypoint from the current
position on the route, so the figure decreases as you approach the next waypoint. The Distance from
previous waypoint field indicates how many meters it is from the previous waypoint from the current
position on the route. With the Next button you can move from one waypoint to the next.
246 Nemo Outdoor User Manual

You can make changes to the route plan using the buttons at the bottom of the Waypoints view.

To select a waypoint on the map, click on the Select button in the Waypoints view, then select a
waypoint on the map. This waypoint is shown as a bigger circle than the others. In addition, the delete
functionality is only enabled when the Select button is selected. If you click on Del ete, the selected
waypoint on the route plan will be deleted, and the previous waypoint on the route will automatically be
selected and shown as a bigger circle. If the deleted waypoint was the first waypoint on the route plan,
the next waypoint on the route will be selected. Moreover, the Delete button is only enabled with the
Select button if there is more than one waypoint on the map. Reclick on Select to clear the
functionality.
You can move waypoints on the map by first clicking on Select, then selecting a specific waypoint on
the map. Click on the Move button, and you will be able to move the selected waypoint on the map.
The part of the route attached to the waypoint is moved with the waypoint.
The Add button in the Waypoints view in the side panel is synchronized with the Add waypoint
button in the map toolbar. If you click on either button when they are inactive, they will both be
activated, and conversely if you click on either button when active, they will become inactive. When
you select either, you are able to place new waypoints in the route plan.
Creating and Saving Route Plans from a Measurement
In addition to creating a route plan with waypoints, you can create a route plan from a measurement.
Start Nemo Outdoor, load a measurement file and open a map window. Right-click on the map and
select View Entire Route, or zoom in on the map to make sure the measurement contains GPS
coordinates. Create a route plan by clicking the Create Route Pl an toolbar icon, or select the
option from the map popup menu. The route plan should now be visible on the map, the layer list
should have a new layer (Untitled.rpf), and the control buttons on the Waypoints view should be
enabled. The route plan should closely follow the route from which it was created. Save the route plan
by clicking the Save Route Plan item in the toolbar, or by selecting it in the map popup menu.
DURI NG MEASUREMENTS 247


You can also modify the route plan with the Sel ect, Move, Add and Delete buttons at the bottom of
the Waypoints view in the side panel. Note that when you click on Select, you may need to zoom in on
the map to view the discrete waypoints. The selected waypoint will show as a bigger circle among all
the circles. See chapter Creating and Modifying Route Plans with Waypoints for more information on
how to use the control buttons, and on how to read the waypoints on the route plan during a
measurement.
Saving a Route Plan to a Custom Window
When you create a route plan and save it, the actual route plan will be saved as a Route Plan File
(.rpf). However, if you have made changes to the default map window and to the layer-specific
properties, and you want to save these changes, you need to save the map window as a custom
window. When you open a measurement the next time, you can open the custom window by right-
clicking on the gray space outside the map window, and select Map | [name of custom window]. You
will also find the custom window in Data | Map | [name of custom window].
First, create or open a route plan, and save it. Next, double-click on the route plan in the map side
panel to access the Route Plan Properties dialog, change the properties and click OK. Change the
settings in the Waypoints view in the side panel, right-click on the map, and select Save As Custom
Window in the map popup menu. Close the map and open the custom window you saved. When you
open the properties dialog, the properties should be what you set them to.

336 Nemo Outdoor User Manual

TROUBLESHOOTING
This section describes some of the possible problem situations that may occur in Nemo Outdoor.
LOW THROUGHPUT
In case lower data throughputs are received with Nemo Outdoor compared to third party applications,
read this chapter for troubleshooting throughput problems with various TCP based protocols.
In case low throughput values are monitored with Nemo Outdoor and also with third party applications,
the issue can most likely be seen by observing link adaptation parameters.
For example, low average CQI and high MAC-HS 3
rd
retransmission rate indicate an area of bad
coverage or high interference. Low HS-SCCH usage rate (=high HSDPA DTX percentage ratio)
points to capacity, server or transmission problems.
In LTE networks, observe physical resource block allocation (PRB) and signal to noise ratio (SNR).
PRB affects throughput directly. Values less than maximum may indicate other users in the cell, a
bottleneck in the transmission network or not enough data to be sent (application does not need all the
available bandwidth).
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.
Disable IP capturing from the Advanced Properties.
Try another FTP server for comparison.
Command prompt FTP throughput. This comparison is recommended because command prompt
FTP does not use any multithreading or other non-standard methods. For better results, keep
Nemo Outdoor at the background measuring the mobile network while making the transfers. Also
try different servers.
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.

TROUBLESHOOTING 337


All Windows Versions
How to check the TCP window size from packet logs:
Using Wireshark:
1. Check the .pcap file and look at the (non FTP-DATA) TCP traffic in the middle of the transfer.
Window size value tells the current TCP window size used.


Using Nemo Outdoor:
1. Open a packet grid window in Nemo Outdoor.
2. Look at the TCP traffic in the middle of an FTP transfer with PayloadLen=0:

3. Double click the frame to get detailed frame info. Look at the Tcp tree. Window shows the current
value.

Using debug logs (for developers, help desk, etc.):
1. Look for the GetWindowSizeFromRegistry() function.
TCP Window size set to n = Value found from registry.
TCP Window size set to default: n =Value not found from registry. Set to default.
TCP Auto-Tuning detected. Window size not set. =Windows Vista/7 is using auto-tuning TCP
window.
2. A measurement file does not save window size info. Packet log and/or debug log is always
needed.
338 Nemo Outdoor User Manual

Windows XP
Check registry value of
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TcpipParameters\TcpWindowSize.
Windows and Nemo Outdoor both use it if it exists. The value can be changed manually or by using
TcpOptimizer software. If the registry value is missing, Nemo Outdoor will use its default window size
which is 256 KB.
Windows Vista/Windows7
Windows Vista/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 XP 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 TCP auto-tuning is disabled, Nemo Outdoor will use its default window size 256 KB. Outdoor 5.40
and later 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. Type netsh interface tcp show global

3. Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level shows the current state.
Please note that administrator rights are required to change auto-tuning settings.
TROUBLESHOOTING 339


4. Open command prompt by typing CMD to Search programs and files field. Right-click and
select Run as admini strator.

5. To disable auto-tuning type netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled. This limits the
TCP window size to 64KB. However, Outdoor sets its own default 256KB when auto-tuning is
disabled.
6. To increase the maximum TCP window size that auto-tuning uses, type netsh interface tcp set
global autotuning=highlyrestricted.
7. Below are all the values of auto-tuning level with explanations:
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.

DEVICE STATUS VIEW
The Device Status view displays the device status.

If a green light is blinking, it means that the device is properly connected to Nemo Outdoor and is
functioning normally.
If a red light is blinking, it means that the device has been disconnected. Connect the device, right-
click on the device in the Devices view and select Reset.
CANNOT ADD DEVICES

Outdoor, your version of Nemo Outdoor is an unlicensed evaluation version. Please, see chapter
Licensing for more information.
If the HASP USB key is plugged in and the Add button is deactivated, check that recording is not on.
Also, playback should be stopped and playback files closed (File | Close Measurement).
TROUBLESHOOTING 341


CANNOT MAKE CALLS/PACKET TRANSFERS
If the commands are inactive in the Measurement control menu , check that you have devices
online. The Work offline or online button should be unselected.
PROBLEMS WITH GPS RECEIVERS
The WindowsXP and Vista operating systems sometimes confuse a GPS receiver with the
computers mouse. When this occurs, the mouse stops working correctly. In this case, follow the steps
below.
1. Select Start | Settings | Control Panel. Double-click on System.
2. Go to the Hardware tab and click the Device Manager button.
3. Double-click on Mice and other pointing devices. A Microsoft Serial BallPoint device should appear.
4. Right click on the Microsoft Seri al Ball Point device and select Disable from the popup menu.
5. Confirm the disabling by clicking Yes in the message box.
6. The mouse device is now disabled and the GPS device can be reconnected.
MEASUREMENT FILE CHECKSUM NOTIFICATION
Measurement file has a checksum that detects modifications to the measurement file after the
measurement is stopped. The checksum is validated when loading measurement files for playback.
The user is notified by the Nemo Outdoor user interface when opening a measurement file where
modification is detected. However, measurement files are still opened normally. The last line in the
measurement file is HASH events including time stamp and checksum information.


#HASH,14:46:49.262,1,"0360D938749FFE82B15545D3E55B75C0"
Measurement files made with Nemo Outdoor 5.4 or earlier do not include checksum information and
the notification is always prompted when such a file is opened with Nemo Outdoor version 5.50 or
later.

APPENDIX 1
MAKING MAPINFO

RASTER MAPS
Using raster image files, you can bring paper maps, photographs, and other graphic images into
MapInfo. You can scan paper maps and then use paper maps as the foundation for the maps you
create in MapInfo. After scanning the paper map into a raster image file, you can display it in a map
window.
Nemo Outdoor and Nemo Analyze support .TIF, .GIF, and .J PG formats. MapInfo

can read the


following types of raster images:
- filename.TIF
- filename.GIF
- filename.J PG
- filename.PCX
- filename.BMP
- filename.BIL
Color options are:
- Monochrome images: each pixel in a map image can be black or white.
- Gray scale images: each pixel in a gray scale image can be black, white, or a shade of gray.
- Color images: each pixel can be of any color from a palette of available colors. MapInfosupports
256 colors. When using Nemo Outdoor and Nemo Analyze, we recommend using gray scale
images. By doing this, the measurement route can be discerned better than with color map
images.
Registering a Raster Map with MapInfo

SW
If you want to overlay vector data on top of a raster image, then you must register the raster map
image so that MapInfo

can position it properly in a Map window. You do this in the Image Registration
Dialog. You must identify control point coordinates and the projection of the raster image map. It is
important to provide accurate control point information when registering a raster map image. Choose
control points that can be easily identified and selected, such as street intersections or use the
coordinates (latitude and longitude grid) for the selected point from a paper map.
To register a raster map:
1. Start the MapInfo

software. Choose File | Open Table and Raster Image Fil e Format. Select
your raster map image file (.TIF, .GIF, .J PG) and open it. The Image Registration Dialog is
displayed. A preview of the raster map image appears on the screen.
2. Select the Projection button to specify the projection of the raster image map. If you do not know
the right projection, the default value is Longitude/ Latitude.
354 Nemo Outdoor User Manual

3. Start adding control points. Click on a location in the preview (raster image map). The Add Control
Point Dialog is displayed showing the location of the point in pixels. Add Map X and Map Y
coordinates in decimal formats. For example, to specify the coordinates 65 degrees, 30 minutes,
enter 65.5 degrees. Use negative numbers when specifying west and south coordinates. If you
want to register a raster map that does not use longitude and latitude coordinates, specify the
appropriate projection in the Image Registration Dialog. Enter your coordinates in the native units
of the coordinate system. For example, if you are registering a UTM map image, enter coordinates
in meters. Using the MapBasic

program, you can convert d/m/s coordinates into decimal degrees


format, or the conversion from d/m/s to decimal degrees is as follows:
degrees+(minutes/60)+(seconds/3600)=decimal degrees
4. You must choose at least three control points. Select points that can be easily identified and
selected in the map window.
5. After all control points have been defined, click OK in the Image Registration dialog. The raster
map will be displayed in the map window.
6. Move filename.tab and filename.tif/gif/jpg files to the map directory of Nemo Outdoor or Nemo
Analyze.
7. Open filename.tab in Nemo Outdoor or Nemo Analyze.
APPENDI CES 355

APPENDIX 2
CDMA SETTINGS AND PRL EDITING IN NEMO
OUTDOOR

You can access CDMA Settings and the PRL editing dialog in Nemo Outdoor through Device
Settings .

In the NV items page you are able to read and write nonvolatile memory items.

You need to know your SPC before you can program any of the following settings. A known SPC can
also be overwritten by this plugin.
Directory number defines a phone number
356 Nemo Outdoor User Manual

MIN1 defines a seven-digit phone number of the terminal
MIN2 defines a three-digit area code
SPC defines the service programming code
IMSI =IMSI_MCC +IMSI_11_12 +MIN1 +MIN2

On the PRL page you can read and write PRL items. This can be used to load any previously saved
PRLs onto any Qualcomm-based mobile. You can also use this feature to save a PRL from a
connected phone and then use this later to load the same PRL onto a new mobile.

On the DIP Switch page you are able to enable/disable the listed features.
APPENDI CES 357

Should you need to manually edit a PRL, you can use the Presto tool which can be downloaded from
CDG.org. The download page can be accessed by searching for prl using the search tool on the
main page.

1. Click on the prltools.asp link to get to the downloads page.

2. From there you can download the toolbar suite and the tutorial for it. Install the suite when
launched. This will add a tool bar called Presto to MS Excel.

358 Nemo Outdoor User Manual

3. Run the Setup.exe file. Click Install in the dialog that appears.

4. Click Next in the PRL Toolbar Suite dialog that appears.

5. Click Next in the Welcome window.
6. Select I Agree in the License Agreement dialog, and click Next.
7. Click Next to confirm installation.
8. Click Close to exit the Installation Finished dialog.
9. Next, open Presto by going to Start | Al l Programs | QUALCOMM PRL Toolbar Suite |

APPENDIX 3 - TROUBLESHOOTING DATA
TRANSFER ISSUES
PS CONNECTION WORKS BUT NO DATA
UAC Settings
If UAC (User Account Control) is set to always notify, it might cause issues with data testing. A PS
connection can be established but data transfers cannot be made. It is recommended that the UAC
settings are changed to Never notify. This can be done via User Account Control Settings.

Antivirus Filtering
Disable the antivirus application and Windows firewall. If the data transfer still does not work properly,
please do the following:
1. Activate PS connection (activate PDP context).
2. Go to Network Settings and choose the appropriate connection assigned for the device.
3. Go to Connection Properties and check that antivirus NDIS filtering is unchecked.
Low Data Throughputs
In case lower data throughputs are received with Nemo Outdoor compared to third party applications,
read this document for troubleshooting throughput problems with various TCP based protocols.
In case low throughput values are monitored with Nemo Outdoor and also with third party applications,
the issue can most likely be seen by observing link adaptation parameters.
360 Nemo Outdoor User Manual

For example, low average CQI and high MAC-HS 3rd retransmission rate indicate an area of bad
coverage or high interference. Low HS-SCCH usage rate (=high HSDPA DTX percentage ratio)
points to capacity, server or transmission problems.
In LTE networks, observe physical resource block allocation (PRB) and signal to noise ratio (SNR).
PRB affects throughput directly. Values less than maximum may indicate other users in the cell, a
bottleneck in the transmission network or not enough data to be sent (application does not need all the
available bandwidth).
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.
Try another FTP server for comparison.
Command prompt FTP throughput. This comparison is recommended because command prompt
FTP does not use any multithreading or other non-standard methods. For better results, keep
Nemo Outdoor at the background measuring the mobile network while making the transfers. Also
try different servers.
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.
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.
All Windows Versions
How to check the TCP window size from packet logs:
Using Wireshark:
1. Check the .pcap file and look at the (non FTP-DATA) TCP traffic in the middle of the transfer.
Window size value tells the current TCP window size used.
APPENDI CES 361



Using Nemo Outdoor:
1. Open a packet grid window in Nemo Outdoor.
2. Look at the TCP traffic in the middle of an FTP transfer with PayloadLen=0:

3. Double click the frame to get detailed frame info. Look at the Tcp tree. Window shows the current
value.

Using debug logs (for developers, help desk, etc.):
1. Look for the GetWindowSizeFromRegistry() function.
TCP Window size set to n = Value found from registry.
TCP Window size set to default: n =Value not found from registry. Set to default.
TCP Auto-Tuning detected. Window size not set. =Windows Vista/7 is using auto-tuning TCP window.
A measurement file does not save window size info. Packet log and/or debug log is always needed.
Windows XP
Check registry value of
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TcpipParameters\TcpWindowSize.
Windows and Nemo Outdoor both use it if it exists. The value can be changed manually or by using
TcpOptimizer software. If the registry value is missing, Nemo Outdoor will use its default window size
which is 256 KB.
362 Nemo Outdoor User Manual

Windows Vista/Windows7
Windows Vista/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 XP 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 256 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. Type netsh interface tcp show global

3. Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level shows the current state.
Please note that administrator rights are required to change auto-tuning settings.
4. Open command prompt by typing CMD to Search programs and files field. Right-click and
select Run as admini strator.

APPENDI CES 363

5. To disable auto-tuning type netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled. This limits the
TCP window size to 64KB. However, Outdoor sets its own default 256KB when auto-tuning is
disabled.
6. To increase the maximum TCP window size that auto-tuning uses, type netsh interface tcp set
global autotuning=highlyrestricted.
7. Below are all the values of auto-tuning level with explanations:
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.
8. Windows XP fix KB943198 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943198) is needed when using
HSDPA category 6 or higher data transfer speeds with Nokia test terminals.
