Software Uninstallation
You can uninstall ZXPOS CNA1 in either of the following two ways: :
1. Select Start > Programs > ZTE Netscope Solution > ZXPOS
CNA1, and click the Uninstall ZXPOS CNA1 shortcut.

2. Select Start > Settings > Control Panel, and click the
Add/Remove Programs icon . Select ZXPOS CNA1
V*.**.**.**** from the installation program list and click Delete.
Dongle Installation
The ZXPOS CNA1 dongle should be installed so that the software can
run smoothly. There are two types of dongle: parallel interface dongle
and USB dongle, for different purchase situations and requirements.
1. Procedure of installing a parallel interface dongle
Before the installation, you are suggested to power off the computer
and printer (to avoid damaging the parallel interface dongle). Then,
insert one end of the parallel interface dongle with COMPUTER
marked on the shell into the parallel port (which can be installed on
any parallel port of the computer) and fasten the screw to ensure a
reliable connection. You can connect the data line to the back of the
parallel interface dongle if there is a printer connected or other
parallel interface peripheral. If you need install other parallel
interface dongles, you can connect these dongles to the parallel
ports of the computer in turn, and the connection sequence and
number do not affect the relevant software.
2. Procedure of installing a USB dongle
A USB dongle is a plug-and-play device and supports hot-swapping,
so you can insert the USB dongle into the USB port of the computer
without shutting down the computer. You can insert the USB dongle
to any USB port of the computer without affecting the use of USB
dongle.
If you have not installed ZXPOS CNA1 or other software of the
ZXPOS series before inserting the USB dongle, the Windows
2000/XP OS immediately prompts that a new device named UMC
(FV5.1) is found (if the old hardware is being used, it prompts that a
new device named USB Dog (Ver.C) is found) and asks you to
install the driver of this device after you insert the USB dongle into

the USB port of the computer. Then, you need cancel the operation
of installing the device driver and run the ZXPOS CNA1 installation
program (the ZXPOS CNA1 option in the Select Packages dialog
box must be selected) to install the USB dongle driver.
3. Legal use of the ZXPOS CNA1 software
When ZXPOS CNA1 starts and runs, the dongle must be installed in
your computer; otherwise, the program cannot be started or
forcedly exit.

There are three methods to calculate the general pilot pollution:
Algorithm 1 (GPPA 1 for short): When the number of pilot larger
than X1 in the Ec/Io is not less than the threshold n, it indicates that
there is pilot pollution. By default, X1 equals -15 dB, n is 4 in the
CDMA95 system and n is 5 in the cdma2000 1x system.
Algorithm 2 (GPPA 2 for short): When the number of pilot between
X3 and X2 in the Ec/Io is not less than the threshold m, it indicates
that there is pilot pollution. By default, X2 equals -15 dB, X3 equals
-17 dB, m is 3 in the CDMA95 system and m is 4 in the cdma2000
1x system.
Integrated algorithm (GPPA1+A2 for short): Integrate GPPA1 and
GPPA2, and the judgment condition is:
Max (PNCount (Ec/Io>X1), PNCount (X3<=Ec/Io<=X2)+X4)>=n,
X4 is n-m=1 by default.
Upon the analysis, the following information shall be added under
each drive test point and the relevant information can be viewed
through the Show Table button in the Map window:
i. Count of pilots complying with GPPA1 and their information
ii. Count of pilots complying with GPPA2 and their information

iii. Count of pilots complying with GPPA1+A2 and their information
Then, the pilot pollution situation shall be obtained upon the analysis
for the pilot number.

X5 Delta Ec/Io upper limit reference value -5 to 5 2
There are two methods to calculate the special pilot pollution (ZTE
special algorithms) and three analysis representation modes:
Algorithm 1 (SPPA 1 for short): When the RxPower is larger than X1
and Best Ec/Io is less than X2, there is pilot pollution (in the case
that the interference is eliminated). By default, X1 is -100 dBm (that
is, coverage area) and X2 is -14 dB.
Algorithm 2 (SPPA 2 for short): When the number of pilot with Ec/Io
larger than X3 is more than X4 and X6 or more pilot intensities are
equivalent (PNCount (deltaEc/Io<=X5)>=X6), there shall be pilot
pollution. By default, X3 is -15 dB; X4 is 3 in the CDMA95 system
and X4 is 4 in the cdma2000 1x system; X5 is 2 dB; X6 is not larger
than X4 + 1. SPPA2 is the most precise special pilot pollution
algorithm.
The following information shall be added under each drive test point
upon the analysis:
SPPA 1: 1 for compliance and 0 for incompliance.
Pilot information for SPPA 1 compliance

SPPA 2: 1 for compliance and 0 for incompliance.
Pilot information for SPPA 2 compliance

2 for SPPA 2 compliance, 3 for both compliance and 0 for other
cases)

Principle of the CDMA missed neighbor algorithm: In the drive test,
the mobile station (MS) obtains the neighbor list from the BS, the
PNScanner continuously performs the frequency-sweep measure for
512 PNs (the measure mode is related to the Pilot Inc setting of the
PNScaner) and records the Ec/Io records. If a PN is not in the
neighbor list but its intensity exceeds the threshold X1 (-13 dB by
default) and the forward basic channel error frame rate is larger
than the threshold X2 (0 by default, that is, the error frame rate is
ignored), this PN is considered as the missed neighbor PN.

5. CDMA message analysis parameter setup

GPPA 1: When the number of the pilot with Ec/Io larger than Tp is
more than N, there shall be pilot pollution. N is related to and larger
than the active set generally.

GPPA 2: When the number of the pilot with Ec/Io between Tp and
Ta is more than N, there shall be pilot pollution. Tp is larger than Ta
(that is, larger than the active set threshold) but number of pilot
that cannot enter the active set is too large, which may be due to

2. If there have been data loaded to the software, the data merge
setting interface appears, as shown in Figure 17.

FI G U R E 17 FIL E ME R G E OPT I O N WI N D O W
At present, ZXPOS CNA1 supports five merge modes. For merge rules,
refer to Figure 18 and description below: (to simplify the description, we
call the loaded file A and file to be loaded B).

FI G U R E 18 FIL E ME R G E
Replace (No Merge): B (file to be loaded) is used to replace A
(loaded file) and only B is left upon the merge.
Additive merge: For data layers exist in both A and B, if they are not
overlapped in time, records in B shall be added in the front or end of
the relevant layer in A; otherwise, they cannot be merged.

Brutal merge: Insert all records in B into A based on the time order.
For files without time overlapped, this merge is equivalent to
additive merge; for data with time overlapped, this mode is
insignificant sometimes, however, the data integrity is ensured,
which shall be noted when this mode is employed.
Selective merge: Add records in B of which the creation time is
different from any record in A to A, and discard the other records in
B.
Time-offset merge:Make time offset and merge to avoid time
overlapping. Offset the log time of every record in file B so that the
time range of these records do not overlap with that of file A. With
the Auto Offset option checked, the offset value is automatically
calculated to avoid time range overlapping. On the other hand, with
the Fixed Offset option checked the time offset appointed by the
user is applied to records in file B. The Additive Merge mode is then
applied.
Notice that in Time-offset Merge mode, if the user appointed time offset is
not appropriate and the time overlapping still exists after time offsetting of file
B, the subsequent additive merge will fail, meaning that the Time-offset Merge
itself will fail.
In addition, there are three check options in Figure 17.
Select Merge Mode Automatically: The merge mode is
automatically selected, that is, a merge mode is employed based on
the time overlapping. Additive merge is adopted for no time
overlapping; time-offset merge is adopted for time overlapping.
Here, you can also set the time offset parameters through Auto
Offset and Fix Offset.
Report merge result: The merge result is reported and an
example is shown in Figure 19.

FI G U R E 19 ME R G E RE S U LT RE P O R T
Apply to all files: Apply one merge mode for all files to be loaded
currently.
After you set the merge mode and click Load, the software starts
loading the data; if you click Skip, the current data file shall be
skipped without being loaded.
Support for Fast Data Switching
Format
Select File > Save As… from the ZXPOS CNA1 main menu to save all
test data loaded by the current ZXPOS CNA1 as the special switching
format of data of ZXPOS CNA1 with an extension of zrx.
Compared with apt and sd5 drive test data, the zrx data file occupies
less space and loads data more rapidly without information loss
basically, so it is a good choice to adopt a zrx file as the CNA1 data
source.

Workspace Management
ZXPOS CNA1 workspace records the data currently loaded to the
software and information of open windows. Such information can be
saved to an *.zrw file. Combination of data and windows can be
customized through the workspace file, thus, data can be loaded and
windows can be accessed automatically after a workspace file is opened,
which improves the working efficiency greatly.
Saving the Workspace
Select File > Save Workspace As… from ZXPOS CNA1 main menu to
save the currently loaded data, cellsite information, map information
and opened window information to a specified file.
Loading the Workspace
Select File > Load Workspace... from ZXPOS CNA1 main menu to
open a workspace file. The software closes the current workspace first,
then loads data and opens the window based on the information in the
workspace file.
Closing the Workspace
Select File > Close Workspace from ZXPOS CNA1 main menu to close
all opened data files, cellsite information files and windows. By then,
ZXPOS CNA1 main interface recovers the initial status, as shown in
Figure 2.

How to geographically display cellsite information files
How to geographically edit cellsite information files
How to find cellsite information files
The cellsite information file reflects the wireless network topology. It
serves as important input information together with the test data.
ZXPOS CNA1 creates and uses the cellsite information file with an
extension of zrc, supports the conversion among such formats of cellsite
data as zrc, xls, cd2 and dbf through the converter and directly creates
the zrc format of cellsite data in the software.
In addition, ZXPOS CNA1 can geographically display and edit the cellsite
information.

Converting Cellsite Information
Files
The converter CellConverter.exe can be employed to convert files
among ZXPOS CNA1 cellsite information file (in zrc format), the cd2
files of the Opas32 and the xls and dbf files of the NetPOS.
1. Select Start > Programs > ZTE Netscope Solution > Shared
Tools > Cellsite file Converter to enter the window, as shown in
Figure 20.
2. Select the required conversion source and destination format tab
from the Cellsite files Converter window. For example, click the
From *.xls or *.dbf to *.zrc file tab to convert the xls or dbf
format of file to the zrc format.

5. Click Start to start the conversion and convert the source file to the
zrc file supported by ZXPOS CNA1.
In addition, you can get the following information by clicking Help in
the file conversion window:
1. The suffix of the NetPOS file is dbf. This format is adopted by
another ZTE internal network optimization tool, NetPOS, and files in
this format can be opened with Microsoft Excel.
2. cd2 is the CellSite Editor software file format in the Agilent E6474A.
3. The cd2 file cannot represent repeater, so the information about
repeater is lost when the zrc and NetPOS files are converted to cd2
format.
