The new USB dongle key must be available before updating Nemo Outdoor
application to version 7.5.0 or higher. Nemo Outdoor version 7.5.0 or higher is
not backwards compatible with the old license dongles.
The computer used for the dongle migration must have Nemo Outdoor installed
and connected to the internet.
If the old dongle key contains both Nemo Outdoor and Nemo Analyze licenses,
please do not run the migration tool. Instead, contact nemo.support@anite.com.
Before running the migration tool, please check the TS Expiration date for the
old dongle key from the Nemo Outdoor Help menu (About | License
Information). If your technical support agreement has expired, do not run the
migration tool. Migration can be done only with dongle keys that have a valid TS
agreement. If your TS agreement has expired, please contact Anite Network
Testing, nemo.support@anite.com.
Do not unplug the dongle keys during the migration process. This may
permanently damage the license keys
All fielded dongle keys and licences must be migrated to new one before customers are able to use
Nemo Outdoor version 7.5.0 or higher. To make the migration easier for the customers, Anite
Network Testing has developed a dongle swapping tool that is capable to make the migration in
user convenient way. Old dongle key and the new dongle key must be connected on the same PC,
including also the migration tool installed and then the customer starts migration in the tool. The
tool kills the old dongle and activates the new one and registers the new dongle.
Before starting the migration process please check what kind of dongle key you are currently using
with Nemo Outdoor. If you have the old dongle key shown in Figure 1, please see the instructions in
chapter Migration process for old USB dongle keys.

1. Anite sends an empty dongle (without a product license) automatically to all customers with a valid
TS agreement. The new dongle will be sent to a separately agreed customer address. In case you
have not been contacted by Anite regarding the dongle migration, please contact
nemosupport@anite.com.
2. After receiving the empty dongle, download and install the migration tool from
www.nemo.fi/tools/migrationtool.zip
3. Extract the migration tool zip-file on the computer that has Nemo Outdoor or Nemo Analyze
installed.
4. Plug in both the old and new dongle in your computers USB ports. Both dongles MUST be plugged
in simultaneously.
5. Run the DriverlessMigrationClient.exe file to start the migration tool.
6. Make sure the migration tool identifies both dongles (keys) connected (Time and Time Driverless
dongles).

Cost-effective and simplified. Ideal for benchmarking and running simultaneous LTE highspeed UEs on a single commercial laptop with up to six handsets
Enhanced data capacity per CPU which means more devices per CPU with higher data rates
compared to running data services on a PC
Only one IP address (host address) for all test UEs with multi-configurations
No issues with PC CPU load lowering data rates. No need to tweak TCP/IP settings on the PC
Smaller (lighter) and cost-effective hardware and easy installation. In some cases no
permanent installation needed due to much lower overall power consumption
Data transfers can be made using the NMR interface where the protocol service is running on a
smartphone. User can select via the Nemo Outdoor device configuration settings the appropriate
method for performing data transfers. The NMR application must be installed on a smartphone and
have a valid license. If NMR is activated, all supported commands/services are always executed via
NMR. Commands/services that are not supported by NMR are automatically executed on the PC.
The user interface uses the same manual and scripted commands with NMR as with PC.
With voice quality measurements, the smartphone records the received sample audio files and
transfers audio files via the NMR interface to a computer in real time. The computer calculates the
Page 12
PESQ/POLQA MOS scores and the values are written to the Nemo Outdoor log file. PESQ and POLQA
licensing will remain the same. NMR also supports multiple phones connected simultaneously to one
CPU. The maximum number of simultaneous connections with voice quality and data is six phones
connected to one CPU with Windows 8 OS and eight phones with Windows 7 OS.
Note that WLAN measurements can be supported only with test handsets without
any RF isolation modules.

1.7.6 Navigation
Navigation is a new optional feature in Nemo Commander. The drive test route can be planned and
generated by Nemo Commander using OpenStreetMap maps. The drive test route can be defined
without any limitations to the number of waypoints but up to 24 waypoints can be included in the
route sent to the Navigon application. If the drive test route has more than 24 waypoints, multiple
routes are used. Nemo Commander generates a URL link for the drive test route(s) that can be sent
to the driver by email directly from Nemo Commander. By using the iPhone or iPad, driver clicks the
URL link in the email to launch the Navigon application on the iPhone or iPad. iPhone and iPad are
Page 16
available also from Anite Network Testing as optional items. Navigon application must be purchased
separately from App Store.

2.1 Twitter
Twitter is an online social networking service that enables users to send and read short 140character messages called "tweets". Registered users can read and post tweets, but unregistered
users can only read them. Users access Twitter through the website interface, SMS, or mobile
device application.
Twitter has been ranked as the third most used social network based on their count of 6 million
unique monthly visitors and 55 million monthly visits. That is why Twitter has been selected as one
of the new applications to be supported with Nemo tools. Now operators have the possibility to test
and benchmark the Twitter application in their network.
From the point of view of the end-user QoS, there are some characteristics that should be captured
by Twitter testing. The first one, corresponding to the service accessibility category, should
measure whether the access to Twitter account and access token is successful or not after the user
request. Another important quality aspect is that the Twitter operations do not get stuck at some
point. The service retainability category should, therefore, contain a KPI that measures the ability of
the different Twitter operations to complete. Finally, under service integrity, the KPIs should
contemplate quality aspects. Therefore, these KPIs should evaluate the delayed time experienced.
Application data throughput is also recorded but due to quite low data rates used by Twitter, it is
not as an important KPI as service accessibility, service retainability, and times experienced.
Twitter testing is supported with multi configurations with a single CPU. Protocol runs on a PC or a
UIC module with Nemo Invex. Twitter testing can be done manually or with script files. Before
starting the test, a Twitter login must be done using the test handset UI.
The following statistics are recorded in addition to DNS query, network availability, and accessibility
(PS data connections and data transfer statistics). For the access and retainability failures, Twitter
specific protocol errors are written to the log file.

Text tweet
Photo tweet
NOTE! Twitter has the following technical limits for accounts. These must be taken into account
when doing Twitter testing with Nemo Tools:
Direct messages (daily): The limit is 1,000 messages sent per day.
Tweets: 2,400 per day. The daily update limit is further broken down into smaller limits for
semi-hourly intervals. Retweets are counted as Tweets.
Following (daily): The technical follow limit is 1,000 per day. Please note that this is a
technical account limit only, and there are additional rules prohibiting aggressive following
behavior. Details about following limits and prohibited behavior are on Twitters Follow
Limits and Best Practices page.
Following (account-based): Once an account is following 2,000 other users, additional follow
attempts are limited by account-specific ratios.
These limits include actions from all devices, including web, mobile, phone, API, etc. API
requests from all third-party applications are tracked against the hourly API limit. People
who use multiple third-party applications with their account will therefore reach the API
limit more quickly. For more information on this topic, please see Twitters API Rate Limiting
page.
These limits may be temporarily reduced during periods of heavy site usage.
Go back to list of new features.
2.2 Instagram
Instagram is an online mobile photo-sharing, video-sharing and social networking service that
enables its users to take pictures and videos, and share them on a variety of social networking
platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Flickr. The maximum duration for Instagram
videos is 15 seconds. In December 2014, Instagram co-founder Kevin Systrom announced that
Instagram has 300 million users accessing the site per month. [4]
From the point of view of the end-user QoS, the same characteristics are captured as with Twitter
testing: service accessibility, service retainability, and service integrity.
Instagram testing is supported with multi configurations with a single CPU. Protocol runs on a PC or
a UIC module with Nemo Invex. Instagram testing can be done manually or with script files. Before
starting the test, Instagram login must be done using the test handset UI.
The following statistics are recorded in addition to DNS query, network availability, and accessibility
(PS data connections and data transfer statistics). For the access and retainability failures,
Instagram-specific protocol errors are written to the log file.

Data transfer server hostname checking has been modified to ignore devices that use Nemo
Media Router (NMR). Devices that use NMR can use the same hostname/address than other
devices without problems.
Notifications: Event triggering ruleset syntax has been extended to support OR-operation
between rules as well as grouping and mixing of AND and OR rule combinations. For
example, the following notification rule can be done:
o
RSRP (pcell) is greater than or equal to -100 AND packet state is equal to active)
OR E-UTRAN carrier RSSI (pcell) is greater than or equal to -62.

The following limitations with Windows 7 operating system have been noticed and verified by Anite
Finland or informed by the vendors:
ZTE MF820T modem with Windows 7 OS. Device is conflicting with the Sentinel HASP key driver
used with Nemo Outdoor application. After ZTE modem is installed, Sentinel HASP key cannot be
detected by Nemo Outdoor. A workaround is to change the auto tuning settings to normal
immediately after the ZTE modem is installed. Please see Test Devices Known Issues document
for further details on how to change the auto tuning mode
Debug logging needs administrative privileges if User Account Control Settings (UAC) is
enabled. It is recommended to change UAC settings to Never notify. This can be done
via User Account Control Settings
If UAC is set to always notify it might cause issues with data testing. PS connection can
be established but data transfer cannot be done. Its recommended to change UAC
settings to Never notify. This can be done via User Account Control Settings

15 KNOWN ISSUES
Test device related known issues for UEs, scanners, and other devices are listed in a separate
document: (Nemo_Outdoor_7.5.0.5_Test_Device_Technical_Notes_Feb_2015.pdf).
Note that if there is a system that measures acceleration in the laptop and which
causes the hard disk to stop when jolted, it should be turned off. Otherwise there
may be breaks in the measurement files. With voice quality testing this can be seen
with missing MOS scores, and with other test devices with gaps in the measurement
results
Running Nemo Outdoor setup directly from the USB flash memory wont work. Workaround
is to copy the files to PC prior running the setup
Download stops responding. Applies to Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems.
When you try to download a file, the download stops responding and then times out. The
problem occurs when you use a USB modem that has a data transfer speed that is faster
than or equal to 240 kilobits per second (Kbps). The problem occurs because of a limitation
in the current USB modem driver (Usbser.sys). The hotfix download is available from
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925681
Please select View and request hot fix downloads and follow the instructions to download
the appropriate file. Files can be found also from the DVD supplied by Anite (Nemo Outdoor
Page 46
6.0\Setup\Microsoft hot fix). Please note that for each operating system there is a separate
file available:
Windows 7, Windows6.1-KB925681-x86.msu
If the message Server Busy is displayed on the screen, it is recommended that the
packetmon.exe be killed using the task manager. Packetmon.exe is used by the Microsoft
Network Monitor. Microsoft Network Monitor is needed only with the video streaming quality
or IP packet capturing functionalities. If IP packet capturing or video streaming quality
measurements are not required its recommended to not install Microsoft Network Monitor.
Line graph zooming with mouse wheel does not work occasionally
Data stream playback position, data transfer content type, data transfer video codec and data
transfer audio codec and file size are not available
Facebook testing
Facebook limits the number of updates you can post. If you see an error message, it means
the Facebook limit has been reached. It is not a permanent error, so the feed will continue
to work, and once the limit is reset on Facebook end (daily), new posts will be posted again
automatically
CAA event type is written as voice not VoLTE when call is generated via Nemo Outdoor user
interface. This is because at the time of the call attempt, call type is unknown
With networks using encryption, it is required to perform radio off/ radio on for the VoLTE
test UE and wait ~40 seconds. During this time SIP server registering is shown in the user
interface even if the UE is already registered. After this, measurements can proceed
normally.
Page 47
With IMS SMS testing its not recommended to use more than 160 characters
Video streaming MOS and jitter values are occasionally reported with value zero
PVI video quality parameters are not available with 64 bit operating systems. PVI streaming
without video quality parameters is supported with both 32 and 64 bit operating systems
Retrieving proper error messages (streaming cause codes) is missing. VLC player version
2.1.0 required with Nemo Outdoor version 7.3.0.6 or higher
USSD testing:
Occasionally FTP UL data throughput values can exceed the maximum value supported by
the network. This is seen at the beginning of data transfers. The root cause is that the
operating system can buffer the data
VoIP testing:
Other PS data connections are not allowed at the same time with the same computer. Issue
has been reported to the vendor.
Only one VoIP connection per CPU can be done at the moment. Issue reported to the
vendor.
WAP testing. The WAP protocol stack used in Nemo Outdoor supports the following contents:
Content Type
WMLC, WML 1.1/1.2/1.2.1 text and binary, WMLScript 1.1/1.2/1.2.1 text and binary
Streaming (Catra)
Nemo Outdoor cannot establish streaming with the Nemo Server Catra streaming service.
With Nemo Handy, streaming is working correctly with the included test files.
To be able to calculate end-to-end delivery time, SMS testing must be done using the same
operator between two terminals. This is due to the fact that SMS message ID changes from
operator to operator.
MMS testing
Page 48
With Nemo Outdoor 6.3 onwards the required Microsoft Network Monitor version is 3.4.
If data throughput problems are experienced with Windows 7 operating systems and you
are using auto-tuning TCP receive window, please see article
http://blogs.msdn.com/wndp/archive/2007/07/05/receive-window-auto-tuning-onvista.aspx or try to set the auto-tuning level to highlyrestriced." Auto tuning can be
restricted by running netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=restricted from the
command prompt. We have found that the restricted mode will often allow some of the
benefits of auto tuning with a number of problematic devices. Current auto tuning level can
be shown with the command netsh interface tcp show global.
With MMS testing the data transfer status can occasionally show more than 100%.

16 TROUBLESHOOTING DEVICE
CONNECTIVITY ISSUES
In general all power saving options should be disabled and high performance power settings should
be used. Battery stretch should not be used and USB port power saving option should be
deselected.
Page 50
17.1.1
Antivirus filtering
Disable antivirus application and Windows firewall. If data transfer still does not work, please do the
following:
Page 51
Page 52
Requested throughput much higher than the actual measured throughput may indicate that there
are other users sharing the radio resources of the cell or some other bottleneck in the network that
prevents the mobile from getting the maximum achievable throughput.
High PUSCH TX power values indicate a lack of uplink coverage.
When operating in the dynamic range of link adaptation, average BLER (PDSCH BLER) should be
higher than 0, typically 10-20%, in order to achieve the gain of HARQ retransmission scheme
Residual BLER after all HARQ retransmissions should be 0%. Higher values indicate that the radio
link is about to drop. Observe the MAC downlink/uplink residual BLER (%) values.
Other things that could help troubleshooting:
Disable any firewall and/or antivirus software that could reduce the throughput. Some HSPA
USB interfaces may also install their own software which may affect to window size settings
in registry
For Nemo Outdoor 5.60 and older versions: Run a script with simultaneous FTP transfers to
see if the throughput increases. Does not work manually, script is always needed
For Nemo Outdoor 5.70 and later versions: Use the multithread feature of the FTP protocol
to test simultaneous transfers. Works also manually
For Nemo Outdoor 6.30 and later versions: Transmit/receive buffer size should not be
mixed with the TCP receive window size which is the global setting. TCP receive window
size affects the TCP/ IP layer whereas transfer buffer size affects the application layer.
Transfer buffer size can be adjusted per socket. This means that the transfer buffer size can
be adjusted for each test UE separately. Transfer buffer size can be adjusted with the FTP,
SFTP, HTTP, POP3, SMTP, and IMAP protocols
Page 53
When buffer size is not checked from user interface, Nemo Outdoor checks if auto-tuning is
on with Windows 7. If auto-tuning is on, no values are set. Otherwise the static value 64k is
used.
Normally default buffer values are acceptable. But if low data throughputs are still
experienced, increasing the receive/transmit buffer size may increase data throughput.
In uplink direction, transfer buffer size too high can be seen as high data throughput peak
at the beginning of the data session. For example, it is possible that measured data
throughput peak is higher than what the cellular system supports. In this case, decreasing
the transfer buffer size in uplink direction will eliminate high data throughput peaks.
Make a comparison test between Nemo Outdoor and the connection manager used with the
device. When configuring a device with Nemo Outdoor, only the trace port should be
defined. The modem port and dial-up connection must be left blank. As ports are left blank
it is not possible to perform a manual PDP context activation or data transfer via Nemo
Outdoor. However, a script file with data connection commands can be used. Script files
should include only data transfer commands, not Attach/detach or PDP context activation or
deactivation commands. Start a data transfer and observe the application data throughput
value. Make the same test again but this time make a connection using Nemo Outdoor.

3. Double click the frame to get detailed frame info. Look at the Tcp tree. Window shows the
current value.
17.2.2
Windows 7
Windows 7 does not use static window sizes from the registry. They rely on dynamic window size
which is handled by TCP auto tuning feature. However, if the same registry value that Windows
uses is set, Outdoor reads it and adjusts the manual window size based on this value. In most
cases, the registry has been edited by a third-party software or a USB mobile interface
driver/software. This registry entry can be removed.
If the TCP auto-tuning is disabled Nemo Outdoor will use its default window size 64 KB. Outdoor
5.40 and newer checks the auto-tuning state and does not change any window sizes if auto-tuning
is enabled.
How to check TCP auto-tuning state:
1. Open command prompt by typing CMD to Search programs and files field.
2.
Page 55
Please note that administrator rights are required to change auto-tuning settings.
Open command prompt by typing CMD to Search programs and files field. Right-click and select
Run as administrator.
disabled: Uses a fixed value for the TCP receive window. Limits to 64 KB (65535).
highlyrestricted: Recommended. Allows the receive window to grow beyond its default
value, very conservatively.
restricted: Recommended. Somewhat restricted growth of the TCP receive window beyond
its default value.
normal: Default value. Allows the receive window to grow to accommodate most conditions.
experimental: Allows the receive window to grow to accommodate extreme scenarios (not
recommended, it can degrade performance in common scenarios, only intended for
research purposes). It enables receive window values of over 16 MB.
