QUICK GUIDE
This quick guide will explain briefly how to set up the Nemo Outdoor measurement system and how to
start the actual measurements. Check the cross-references for more detailed explanations on using
Nemo Outdoor.
SETTING UP THE SYSTEM
From Nemo Outdoor 5.8 onwards the software is protected with a copy protection module and it
is not possible to install Nemo Outdoor without it. Software-based copy protection licenses are
no longer valid.
1. Installing the software. Check the manual for hardware requirements if necessary (p.27). Run
the Nemo Outdoor installation program Nemo Outdoor 5.xx.xx.exe from the Nemo Outdoor CD-
ROM. The Nemo Outdoor SW and handlers are installed in the same setup.
2. During the installation, Nemo Outdoor will ask you to insert the copy protection module on the
computer on which you are running Nemo Outdoor (p.13). Please insert the copy protection
module and wait until Windows has completed installing the device drivers. Press OK to continue
the setup.
3. When the installation is finished, restart the computer.
4. The measurement mobiles, GPS receiver, and scanner are connected to the computer’s COM
and/or USB ports. If you are using a laptop, you will probably need a PCMCIA card or a USB
serial converter to create additional COM ports. Install the PCMCIA card or USB serial converter
and the required driver (p.342). Connect the devices to the COM ports with the specified cables
and switch the devices on. Especially with GPRS mobiles that have two cables, be sure to use the
correct cable.
5. If you are making a data measurement, you need to create a dial-up connection. Follow the
instructions in the Dial-Up Networking Setup Guide provided in the Nemo Outdoor package to set
up a dial-up connection and to configure the measurement mobile.
Choose one of the following steps:
Select step 5 if you are a first-time user of Nemo Outdoor.
Go to step 6 if you are an older user of Nemo Outdoor and would like to use the Load Device
Configuration dialog.
Go to step 7 if you would like to set up the system manually.
6. On the Welcome page, the Load a Measurement tool enables you to open a previously viewed
measurement with the attached devices for playback. In the Open a Device Configuration tool
you can select saved device configurations, and start the devices in online mode, or decide to
work offline first and connect and start them later by clicking the work offline button in Nemo
Outdoor. In addition, the Automatic device detection functionality in the Create New Device
Configuration tool automatically detects devices connected to the computer and assigns the
appropriate, previously created COM port and dial-up information to them.
7. To view the Load Device Configuration dialog, click the Other.. button in the Open a Device
Configuration field in the Welcome to Nemo Outdoor dialog (see p.42).

File | Open Device Configuration and start a measurement in online of offline mode.
Alternatively, you can go to Measurement | Add New Device, select a device and configure it for
measurements. You can also do this from the configuration manager (Ctrl+M) (see step 9). In
addition, you can also use the Autodetect devices functionality by going to Measurement |
Autodetect Devices, which automatically detects a previously added device and its assigned
COM ports and dial-up connection.
10. Open the Configuration Manager dialog (Ctrl+M) (p.48) to add measurement devices manually.
Select the Device item and click the Add button . Select the device type (phone, scanner, GPS)
that you want to add and select the device model from the list. Click Next. In the Device Properties
dialog, select the correct COM ports and click OK.
11. If you are using a GPS receiver, you will also need a map. Use the Windows® Explorer to copy all
the required map files to the maps folder, for example, C:Nemo Toolsmaps. Define the default
map file and map folder as follows: open the Configuration Manager dialog, double-click the User
Interface item and select the Paths tab. In the Map field, browse the folder where map files are
stored. In the Default map field, browse the default map file (p.55).
12. If you have base station files (.nbf), copy them to the BTS files folder, for example, C:Nemo
ToolsBTS files. When you want to view a BTS file on a map, open the Measurement Properties
dialog for the measurement mobile used, and browse a file in the BTS File field. Click OK. Open a
map through the Data menu and the BTS icons should appear on the map.
DATA MEASUREMENTS
A PPP compatible dial-up server is required for CS data testing. Settings related to the dial-up
server (number, username, and password) are operator-specific.
Follow the instructions in the Dial-Up Networking Setup Guide to set up a dial-up connection
and to configure the measurement mobile.

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) with the Windows® XP
Professional or Windows® Vista operating system. 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.
22. 22 Nemo O ut door Us er M a nual
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

used with Nemo Outdoor. The system in combination with Nemo Outdoor Multi-option allows
benchmarking measurements to be performed on different system technologies such as GSM, EDGE,
WCDMA, HSDPA, CDMA2000, and WiMAX, and different combinations of measurement modes such
as voice calls and data transfers. Nemo Outdoor Multi supports a total of seven test devices, i.e. up to
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 car’s +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
test car. The Multi system also includes a DC to AC pure sine wave power inverter to supply power for
the laptop.

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 4G 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.

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.
=c/f
c = 300E6 (m/s)
f = frequency (Hz)
450 MHz, = 66 cm
900 MHz, = 33 cm
1800 MHz, = 17 cm
1900 MHz, = 16 cm
GPS antenna 1565-1575MHz, = 19 cm
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.

With the Enable routing table modifications for local devices option users can enable and disable
routing table modification. The option is selected by default. Routing table modification should be
disabled only with single data testing. If routing table modification is disabled with multi data testing, it
can cause problems when several dial-up connections are opened from one host computer to
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 distorts the test results.
