Nemo Outdoor is an effecti!e tool for tracing digital networks. It collects measurement results and geographical coordinates "when used with a #$% recei!er& and stores them on a hard disk.
Nemo Outdoor is Outdoor is a laptop'based dri!e test tool which supports o!er ()* terminals and scanning recei!ers from !arious !endors and all major network technologies.
optimization+ Measurement results pro!ide useful information for network optimization+ verification+ verification+ and maintenance purposes.
,esults can be efficiently and easily !iewed with -cti analyer software which is to be used in this project
Nemo Outdoor uses licensed technology from !arious manufacturers.
Important things to notice while using Nemo Outdoor
Installing and running Nemo Outdoor re/uires administrator rights. 0o not use the Nemo Outdoor test mobile1s keypad to make or answer calls when the Nemo Outdoor system is running. 2ith %amsung terminals the key tone !olume should be turned off. Otherwise+ the mobile can dial a wrong number. 2ith Nokia #%M+ #$,%+ and E0#E terminals the test display "Net Monitor& must not be acti!ated.
In !oice /uality measurements the !olume of the mobile headset must be adjusted to correct le!els. $lease refer to the Nemo 3oice 4uality #uide document.
0o not place stickers containing metal on the mobile because it may lower the transmission power of the mobile.
-fter the measurements ha!e been completed and it is desired to take the Nemo Outdoor test mobile into normal use+ it must be powered off and on again to deselect5deacti!ate the Nemo Outdoor triggered e!ents in the mobile.
6se only the supplied connecting cable+ included with the Nemo Outdoor+ for connecting the Nemo Outdoor test de!ices to the computer1s 6%7 port.
2hen using the Nemo Outdoor test mobile for measurement use+ the battery operation time is reduced from normal use. 8he best operation times will be achie!ed when the batteries are regularly charged and discharged as instructed in the mobile user manual.

(.:.: 0e!ice Configuration
In order to -dd the 0e!ices need for our $roject $roject we need to to go to the )evice* %ection of Configuration Manager . -fter pressing the plus sign we will be presented with three 0e!ice types we can apply of our project. 1.+hone #.,canner $.-+,
(.:.:.:Configuring a phone
8he andler Information is specified on the list of handlers that ha!e been installed on your Computer from the Configuration Manager %ystem entity. -ll the handlers for "+hones/-+,s "+hones/-+,s and ,canners& ,canners& that ha!e been purchased can be found on the Nemo Outdoor installation %oftware. Each de!ice has its own handler+ and in order to use them in Nemo Outdoor+ you must ha!e the corresponding handler installed+ In our case we ha!e ;4ualcomm< as a handler for $hones we use on our project. -fter we select )0ualcomm* we will be presented with a window that will allow 6s to configure our de!ices Manually.
9irst thing we need to do is to go to the Computer anagement in order to get the CO information of information of the 8erminal then on the evice anager/ the drop down menu of the 0e!ice Manager )odems* and )+orts* are important sections to notice.
-fter connecting your phone to your computer you need to see the COM port and Modem port numbers Occupied by the terminal. If your 0e!ice does not appear+ you to need make sure you ha!e installed the terminal5 de!ice dri!er correctly.
In our Case the Com port number is either CO2 or CO3+Modem CO3+Modem port is CO4. CO4.
-s the image illustrates we need to select the 8race port and Modem port of the 0e!ice specific Information. Circuit switched dial"up connection > +acket switched dial"up connection list boes gi!e a list of all the dial'up connections that ha!e been configured on your computer. If you are making C% or $% data measurements. ?ou can select a specific 0ial up that is already configured before. ?ou can lea!e the default 3alues be and mo!e on for C% tests. 8he Measurement $roperties dialog contains se!eral pages and the contents depend on the de!ice -eneral +easurement ,ettings +notification and notification and ,cript for the de!ice can be configured along with the Configuration of the de!ice.
-fter -pplying the Configuration parameters we can see that the status of the $hone will be displayed as )evice is working +roperl5* and +roperl5* and is ;attached< ;attached< to the network network accordingly accordingly..
%etting the easurement +roperties will be net if we didn1t already $erform this action before connecting the de!ice on the pre!ious slide. On the -eneral Tap ='we ha!e to define the Network name6can be a friendl5 name or operator7/ 8T, file definition and ,ubscriber No information.

8he 9ile format that can be loaded is 6:.nbf or :.csv7.
?ou can prepare the 78% 9ile according to the 78% file format NEMO outdoor accepts and make sure you sa!e it as C%3"Comma 0elimited& 9ile and upload to the %ystem.
(.:.B %cript $roperty
8here are some pre defined scripts a!ailable that you can select from the drop down menu but you can also create your own in the %cript Editor .
8he scripts in the same group are synchronied with each other. 0e!ices can be assigned for certain script groups. 7y default the script group is selected as @NoneA+ but the user can also create new script groups by selecting @New groupA in the %cript group drop'down menu+ and typing the name of the new script group in the field as the Image on the left illustrates.
(.:.B.: C% testing script making
2hen we Configure script files we can can select select the ;script Editor< Editor< and select select or add the add the kind of test we want to perform as the image shows.
2e must also configure the 8est count 5;epeat 5;epeat ,cript after adding a test plan. -s the image on the left shows. - script file has ;.nsf< file type we must save the script after finishing the configuration.
-s the Image -bo!e shows we can run the script specific for a selected de!ice or we can generally run all the scripts for all de!ices at once.
Note that after you ha!e acti!ated the script+ for the de!ice+ you cannot control the measurement manually until the script is finished or you interrupt the script by clicking the %top %cripts button.
-fter running the script you can see the script running status and some output comments on the output tab of the ;output !iew< on the bottom of the application.
Normally when you start the scripts Nemo will automatically start recording the log file unless you are doing an idle test and you need to record with out a script configuration. ?ou can change the location of the log file sa!ing place or it will be sa!ed on the NEMO tools folder of your C=5dri!e < ,esults< folder.

2hen we want to make $% tests there are certain steps we need to follow. 9irst thing we need to do insert out modem into the computer and install the necessary dri!er for the de!ice and go to ;de!ice manager.< On the Modems section of the we will find the modem we configured listed+ %elect and right click on the modem +<$roperties<+ On the -d!anced 8ab +Etra settings+ Etra intiliation commands fill in the “at+cgdcont=1,"ip",“APN “ in our case -$N is etc.com atDcgdcont:+FipF+Fetc.comF
Net step is we need to create5set up a dial up connection using the modem we just configured as follows.
2hen we configure the $% test de!ice we need to make sure that we select +the 0ial up connection we ha!e created on the per!ious page with the 0e!ice1s selected modem.
8he data measurement system has two modes= %end and ,ecei!e. In the %end mode+ the measurement unit sends data packets to the 98$ ser!er in the ,ecei!e mode !ice !ersa. If you are using an 98$ ser!er+ the measurement unit uploads "%end mode& or downloads ",ecei!e mode& test files to or from the 98$ ser!er. If you are using an H88$ ser!er+ the measurement unit can only recei!e files . 0uring the measurement+ measurement+ the user will be able to monitor data throughputs and error rates on different network layers.
