uninstallation of the current driver should be done via Uninstall or change
program. Locate the application called Sentinel HASP Run- Time and uninstall
it. Re-install Nemo Outdoor application.

8 LIMITATIONS AND ISSUES WITH

WINDOWS 7 OPERATING SYSTEM

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

Devices not supporting Windows 7 operating system:

PCTEL LX tri-band scanning receiver

Other limitations:

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

Figure 1. UAC settings.

10 KNOWN ISSUES

Test device related known issues for UEs, scanners, and other devices are listed in a separate
document: (Nemo_Outdoor_7.4.1.13_Test_Device_Technical_Notes_Nov_2014.pdf).

10.1 General and User Interface

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

Figure 2. Lenovo active protection system properties.

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

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

Windows Vista, Windows6.0-KB925681-x86.msu

It is highly recommended not to use the User Parameters functionality during multi device
testing as the decoding of L3/ RRC messages will cause a high CPU load. If performance
problems are found, it is recommended to remove all user parameters from the user
interface.

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

10.2 Nemo Commander

When the Nemo Invex system includes two or more active chassis, the measurement file prefix is in
format: unitprefix_unit_unitprefix_unit_date and time. E.g.
remote_invex_240031175011170167_remote_invex_240031175011170167_14Mar14 110000

10.3 Applications and Protocols

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

VoLTE calls

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

SIP UL messages are missing occasionally

SIP DL message content is not available. Only message name is shown

PVI video streaming

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

VLC media player:

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:

Page 20

USSD testing is not supported with Huawei and Samsung UEs

NEMO OUTDOOR 7.41 TECHNICAL BULLETIN AND RELEASE NOTES

FTP UL data transfers:

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

Character Sets, WML Char-sets, US ASCII, UTF-8, UCS-2

ISO8859-1 (Latin), ISO8859-2 to 10 (other European), ISO8859-13 to 15 (other

European), SHIFT JIS (Japanese), WSP 1.0 (5 July 2001), WTP 0.0 (10-Jul-2001), WTLS
(06-April-2001)2, WP-HTTS (29-Mar-2001), WAP 2.0 /MMS

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.
CDMA SMS end-to-end testing. 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. In case of high MMS sending/receiving failures it is recommended to increase the
default time out time from 30 seconds e.g. to 60 seconds.
With Nemo Outdoor 6.3 onwards the required Microsoft Network Monitor version is 3.4.
If IP packet capturing is not required it is highly recommended to uninstall it, as it affects to the
CPU performance.
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-on-vista.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%.

12 TROUBLESHOOTING DATA TRANSFER

ISSUES

12.1 PS Connection Works but No Data

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. If UAC settings cannot be changed its
highly recommended to start Nemo Outdoor application with administration rights by right clicking
Nemo Outdoor icon and by selecting Run as administrator.

Figure 4. UAC settings.

12.1.1 Antivirus Filtering

Disable antivirus application and Windows firewall. If data transfer still does not work, please do the
following:

Activate PS connection (activate PDP context)

Go to Network settings and choose appropriate connection assigned for device. Go to

Connection properties and check that antivirus NDIS filtering is unchecked.

12.2 Low Data Throughputs

In case lower data throughputs are received with Nemo Outdoor compared to third-party
applications, read this document for troubleshooting throughput problems with various TCP based
protocols. Please note that the following applies to PC based data transfers, not to the data
transfers made by Nemo Media Router application running on the Android based smartphone.
In case low throughput values are monitored with Nemo Outdoor and also with third-party
applications, the issue can most likely be seen by observing link adaptation parameters.
For example, low average CQI and high MAC-HS 3rd retransmission rate indicate an area of bad
coverage or high interference. Low HS-SCCH usage rate (= high HSDPA DTX percentage ratio)
points to capacity, server or transmission problems.
In LTE networks, observe physical resource block allocation (PRB) and signal to noise ratio (SNR).
PRB affects throughput directly. Values less than maximum may indicate other users in the cell, a
bottleneck in the transmission network or not enough data to be sent (application does not need all
the available bandwidth). If data throughputs in LTE are lower than expected, it is recommended to
adjust the buffer size via Nemo Outdoor user interface, for example, to value 1024. It should be
noted that buffer size must be adjusted separately for each protocol (e.g. for FTP and HTTP).

Page 24

NEMO OUTDOOR 7.41 TECHNICAL BULLETIN AND RELEASE NOTES

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

Disable IP packet monitoring from the advanced properties

Figure 7. IP packet capture settings.

Try another FTP server for comparison

Command prompt FTP throughput. This comparison is recommended because command

prompt FTP does not use any multithreading or other non-standard methods. For better
results, keep Nemo Outdoor at the background measuring the mobile network while making
the transfers. Also try different servers

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 25

NEMO OUTDOOR 7.41 TECHNICAL BULLETIN AND RELEASE NOTES

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.

Figure 8. Data transfer settings.

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.

12.2.1 All Windows Versions

How to check the TCP window size from packet logs:
Using Wireshark:
1. Check the .pcap file and look at the (non FTP-DATA) TCP traffic in the middle of the
transfer. Window size value tells the current TCP window size used.

Using Nemo Outdoor:

1. Open a packet grid window in Nemo Outdoor.
2. Look at the TCP traffic in the middle of an FTP transfer with PayloadLen=0:

Page 26

NEMO OUTDOOR 7.41 TECHNICAL BULLETIN AND RELEASE NOTES

3. Double click the frame to get detailed frame info. Look at the Tcp tree. Window shows the
current value.

Using debug logs (for developers, help desk, etc.):

1. Look for the GetWindowSizeFromRegistry() function.
TCP Window size set to n = Value found from registry.
TCP Window size set to default: n = Value not found from registry. Set to default.
TCP Auto-Tuning detected. Window size not set. = Windows Vista/7 is using auto-tuning TCP
window.
A measurement file (.nmf) does not save window size info. Packet log and/or debug log is always
needed.

12.2.2 Windows Windows7

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 27

Type netsh interface tcp show global

NEMO OUTDOOR 7.41 TECHNICAL BULLETIN AND RELEASE NOTES

Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level shows the current state.

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.

Figure 9. Run as administrator.

To disable auto-tuning type netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled. This limits the TCP
window size to 64KB. However, Outdoor sets its own default 256KB when auto-tuning is disabled.
To increase the maximum TCP window size that auto-tuning uses, type netsh interface tcp set
global autotuning=highlyrestricted.
Below are all the values of auto-tuning level with explanations:

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.

12.3 Issues with HTTP Browsing Testing

Selecting Automatic configuration or Proxy settings can cause problems with HTTP browsing
testing, such as, increase the page downloading time. In such a case automatic/ proxy settings
should be disabled.
