service. If the UARFCN is not available, the device will go out of service and remain in that
condition until the specified UARFCN is available after which the normal service will be
re-established on the specified UARFCN. In LTE, this ensures the device only camps onto the
preferred EARFCN on power up but it may move to other available EARFCNs within the same
20
band, only if the criteria for handover are fulfilled.

Configuring Cellsite Data
This feature shows serving and active cells for different technologies by configuring the
cellsite database in the device. If any cell matches with primary and secondary key defined in
the cellsite database, then the cell name is updated in the portrait mode and a line is drawn
from current location to a serving cell or one of the active cells in Outdoor/Indoor map.
To configure cellsite database, go to Settings > Cellsite Data, enable the technology you
want to activate and select the cellsite database XML file from the SD card. Ensure that you
have put the cellsite database XML file in FTA > Cellsite Database folder in the SD card. You
can create a cellsite database XML file using the Cellsite Importer utility in the E6474A
application or you can create your own cellsite database XML file in the following format as
shown below.
After configuring the XML file, you can define the Cellsite Range unit as Km or miles and
specify the maximum valid distance range when looking for the serving cell. The application
looks for only those cells which fall within the range and if there is more than one cell with the
same primary and secondary key, then the first cell which is closest to the current location is
reported. You can define Max number of Cellsites loaded which allows only a small number
of cellsites to be loaded.

Auto Send
Test
This test uploads the AHD files from the phone to the configured HTTPS or FTP server. When
the Test Sequencer encounters an AutoSend test, it uploads the recorded data from the start
or from the point when the last AutoSend test was encountered. The recording will continue
thereafter. The fragmented AHD files are created separately from main AHD file. For example,
if there are five auto send tests configured in the test sequence, then six fragmented files will
be created. The last fragmented file will contain summary information of all the tests. The last
fragmented file and the complete AHD file will be uploaded upon completion of the whole
recording.
The fragmented files are uploaded in the following directory:
On the FTP Server: <configured directory>/<IMSI>/Timestamp_<Recording Start

TimeStamp>/<ADH file name>_<Fragment ID>.AHD
On the HTTPS server: <root>/<ADH file name>_< Fragment ID >.AHD
On the SD Card: /<Save Location>/ToBeUploaded/>/<AHD file name>_<Fragment

The Circuit Switched Fall Back (CSFB) test is used to validate that while on an LTE data
session, an attempt to make a Voice call will 'Fall Back' to 3G to make the Voice call.
The test starts with an HTTP transfer to initiate a data session. If the session is successful and
the sessions are over LTE, then a Voice call is initiated. The test passes only if the data
transfer works and it is over LTE and the Voice call works. The setup time of the CSFB call is
measured during this test. CSFB inter cycle delay default time is set to 45 seconds. This is the
minimum time required to ensure the phone moves back to LTE.
You must extend this time if there are subsequent test failures due to no LTE data transfer.

iPerf Test
The iPERF test is a modern alternative for measuring maximum TCP and UDP bandwidth
performance.
iPERF can create TCP and UDP data streams and measure the throughput of the network
that is carrying them. iPERF allows tuning of various parameters and UDP characteristics.
iPERF reports bandwidth, delay jitter, datagram loss. iPERF test has both client and server
components and can measure the throughput between the client and server, either
unidirectional or bidirectionally. When used for testing UDP capacity, iPERF allows setting of
the datagram size and provides results for the datagram throughput and the packet loss.
When used for testing TCP capacity, iPERF measures the throughput of the payload.
In a typical iPERF test, there is a server iPERF and a client iPERF. The server iPERF must be
started before the client iPERF, else the test will fail.
Follow the below steps to configure iPERF server:
1 Download the iPERF precompiled binary file from the link: http://iperf.fr/
2 Open the command prompt and go to the directory where the binary is located.
3 For configuring the server in TCP mode, execute following command:
a To run on default port 5001, type iperf -s
b To run on specific port, type iperf -s -p port_number
4 For configuring the Server in UDP mode, execute the following command:
a To run on default port 5001, type iperf -s -u
b To run on specific port, type iperf -s -u -p port_number
You can find the iPERF client binary file version 2.0.4 in the device SD card > FTA > iperf
directory. You must also use the same iPERF version on the server.

Loss% - For every cycle, the test sends the configured pings per cycle and then calculates
the loss percent. If you have configured 4 pings per cycle then for every cycle (suppose
cycle is configured 10) 4 pings will be send and if one ping fails then loss% will be 25%, if
two fails then loss will be 50% and so on. If all 4 passes for a cycle then only that cycle is
passed (in other words if loss% is 0 then only a cycle passes).
RTT: The Round Trip Time of a cycle is calculated by finding the average RTT of all pings
per cycle.
TTL - The Time to Live of one cycle is calculated by finding the average TTL of each pings
per cycle.

Trace
Route Test
This test runs a trace route on a data connection. This diagnostic utility determines the route
taken to a destination by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo packets
with varying Time-To-Live (TTL) values to the destination. Each router along the path is
required to decrement the TTL on a packet by at least 1 before forwarding it, so the TTL is
effectively a hop count.
When the TTL on a packet reaches zero, the router is supposed to send back an ICMP Time
Exceeded message to the source system. Trace route determines the route by sending the
first echo packet with a TTL of 1 and incrementing the TTL by 1 on each subsequent
transmission until the target responds or the maximum TTL is reached.
The route is determined by examining the ICMP Time Exceeded messages sent back by
intermediate routers. Notice that some routers silently drop packets with expired time-to-live
(TTLs) and will be invisible to trace route.
The default time out for a trace route action is 1000 milliseconds.
Test Settings
TRACERT Host Type - Select the host type as DNS or IP. If you select the host type as
DNS, you must enter the host name in the below field. If you select host type as IP, you
must enter the IP address in the below field.
TRACERT Host Name - Enter the destination address which can be either a host name or
the IP address to trace the route.
TRACERT Mode Type - Tap to select mode type as Normal or Change. If you select mode
type as Normal, the test runs one cycle. If you select mode type as Change, the test will
detect if there is any change in the IP route compared to the base line. You must first add
TRACERT test as Normal mode before you can add TRACERT test as Change mode. The
change mode detects the change in the route. If there is change in the route, the test is
failed else it is passed. The Mode Type is displayed at the bottom right of the test in the
Test Sequencer screen.
Timeout (ms) - Set the time out in milli seconds after which the test will stop.
Max No. of Hops - Set the maximum number of hops that you would like to limit the trace
route to. This value is displayed at the top right of the test in the Test Sequencer screen.
Test Results
Success - Destination is reachable within the specified number of hops for the normal
mode. For change mode, number of hops are same for baseline and child traceroute.
Destination Host Unreachable - No Internet Connection is available when traceroute

mode is normal.
Unknown Host - The hostname could not be resolved when the trace route mode is
Normal.
Unable to Compare - The hostname could not be resolved when the trace route mode is
Change.
IP Route CHANGED - When there is a mismatch in baseline hop and its child hops.

You can change the parameter thresholds in the xml file using MS Excel. Open the file in MS
Excel, choose to open 'As an XML table' and allow Excel to create a Schema based on the
source if prompted. You need to change only TH1 and TH2, not MIN and MAX. If MIN and
MAX, are changed it will not have any effect because the default MIN and MAX will be loaded.
For indicators such as RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) where a high value is
better than a low value, TH1 is the threshold at which the bar changes from Red to Yellow.
TH2 is the threshold at which the bar changes from Yellow to Green.
Inverse indications (where a low value is better than a high value), e.g. BLER, the colors are
reversed within the application, so TH1 is where Green changes to Yellow and TH2 is where
Yellow Changes to Red.
When the RANAdvisor Handheld application is started, it will load the parameters -TH1 and
TH2 from the FTA_Full_Thresholds.xml file.

since Bluetooth may not work on low charge. Check the Bluetooth pair screen for name of
paired devices. The master name should be present on the slave device and the slave
name should be present on the master device. If any slave device name is not present in
the master device, you need to pair them again. After configuring the master and slave
devices, when you start recording on the master device, the message will be
communicated to all the slave devices to start recording. When you stop recording, a
message will be communicated to all slave devices to stop recording. When you navigate
using an Indoor map on the master device by using I am here positions or a Waypoint file,
those locations will be communicated to the slave devices to synchronize position logging.
59

Play Back Your Data
Play Back Your Data

This chapter explains how to play back the collected data from your phone.
To replay data on the phone

Before sending the collected data back to the office to be reviewed and analyzed using the
E6474A software, you can replay your data on the phone.
To replay the data:
1
2
3
4
5
6

Select RF Measurement from the Home screen.
Press the device menu button.
Select Start Replay.
Select YES when requested to stop data logging.
Locate and select the collected data file.
When playback starts a blue dot appears at the bottom of the screen. During replay, you can
pause or playback the recorded file at any point. At the end of replay you are given the choice of
playing the data again, fast forward or backward, or choosing another file.
Note: A Test sequence file is associated with the recorded data file (AHD) when you perform
recording. If you want to replay the recorded data file on a different handset, you need to place
only the AHD file to the device SD card. The test sequence file is embedded in this AHD file.
If you are playing back an indoor data collection, the map used during the data collection must be
located in the same file location for the replay. The file location of the map used is stored in the
data collection file.
Getting data from the phone

To get recorded data from your phone and onto a laptop for playback and analysis, you can use
one of the following methods.
USB cable
To transfer the data through a USB cable, perform the following steps:
1 Ensure the phone is configured to link as a remote hard drive.

2 Connect the phone to your laptop using the USB cable (supplied with the phone).
3 On the laptop, locate and copy the recorded data from the phone to your laptop.
61
Play Back Your Data

Bluetooth
To transfer the data using a Bluetooth connection, perform the following steps:
1 Enable Bluetooth on the phone (refer to the phone handbook for more information)
2 Establish a connection between the phone and your laptop.
3 Copy your recorded data from the phone to your laptop.
Remember to disable your Bluetooth connection once you have transferred your files. This will
prevent any unexpected data measurements when you next use the phone.
Data card
If you have configured your logged data to be recorded directly onto a data card in the phone,
remove the card and copy the files onto your laptop.
HTTPS/FTP Transfer
A useful feature of the application is that it can upload your data files directly from the phone to a
known HTTPS/FTP server (accessible by your engineering team). Transfers are only started once
you have stopped logging data. To configure HTTPS/FTP transfers after data logging, follow this
procedure:
1

Post Processing RANAdvisor Handheld Log files
Post Processing RANAdvisor

Handheld Log files
The RANAdvisor Handheld solutions logs parametric information in AHD files. There are several
ways to view these files and process the contents.
Compatibility with Gladiator

JDSU offers an OEM version of the Gladiator post processing solution that is compatible with the
AHD file format at the point of release. Contact your JDSU sales representative if you require a
quote or demonstration of this package.
Compatibility with Windcatcher

Xceed have supported the AHD format natively for some time. Version 3.3.0.6 provides support for
RANAdvisor Handheld releases up until 1.32. To add support for later releases, please refer to the
section below titled Adding Support for Later Releases of RANAdvisor Handheld in
Windcatcher.
Compatibility with ACTIX

ACTIX release from June 2013 has provided support for native AHD processing.
Playback In the E6474A Optimization Software

Section 3 of this Users Guide provides information on how to load AHD files into the JDSU main
PC Optimization application for play back and analysis. Please note the compatibility of recent
releases with versions of the E6474A application contained in the Release Notes.
Exporting to CSV or EXCEL Formats

Once AHD files are imported into the E6474A application, the Drive Exporter feature may be used
without a license to extract data from the file and export it to a CSV or EXCEL format file for further
processing. See the users guide for the E6474A application for further details on this capability.
Converting to AOD format

Each release of the RANAdvisor Handheld software is downloadable from the JDSU FTP site and
comes with a windows application that can be used to manually convert the AHD files to AOD.
These AOD files are in the same format as logged by the E6474A application and can be post
processed using any application that supports the JDSU AOD format. This converter application is
located in the AHD Converter for FTA 1.xx
65
Automated Handling of AHD files

The stand-alone windows converter can be controlled via command line controls to automate the
conversion from AHD to AOD. Documentation on this is included in the distribution package. The
Drive Exporter may also be controlled via command line controls to convert from AOD to CSV
format. Using the combination of these two tools allows automated conversion as part of a server
workflow to manage data at the server prior to processing.
Adding Support for later versions of RANAdvisor Handheld in

Windcatcher
WindCatcher Plus version 3.3.0.6 provides support up to RANAdvisor Handheld version 1.32. In
