a layer, configure layer properties, and configure the legend properties of the IE layer in the map
window.
Context
l To open an indoor map window, choose View > IndoorMap.
l To open an outdoor map window, choose View > OutdoorMap.
5.1 Basic Concepts About Maps
This section describes the basic concepts about maps. It is recommended that you perform
relevant operations in the map window to learn the relevant concepts of maps.
5.2 Importing Maps
You can import a map through the indoor map window or outdoor map window. In this manner,
you can directly know the wireless environment of the test area and easily analyze the test data.
5.3 Adding Layers
This section describes how to add map layers or counter layers such as IE layer, cell layer, and
event layer to an indoor map or an outdoor map so that you can view and analyze test data.
5.4 Configuring Layer Properties
Layer properties consist of layer display properties and layer label properties. Layer display
properties specify the display modes of the objects on a layer. Layer label properties specify the
labeling modes of the objects on a layer. You can configure layer offset properties and adjust
the projection of map layers in the outdoor map window. You can also configure the offset
properties of IE layers in the indoor or outdoor map window. The configuration of layer
properties is temporary and is not saved in projects.
5.5 Configuring Legend Properties
Legend properties include the colors, shapes, and fonts of legends. You can configure the IE
legend properties of MSs in the indoor or outdoor map window so that IEs are displayed on the
map as dots according to different legends. If legend properties are not configured, the Probe
displays IEs according to the default legend.
Map
The map consists of a series of map elements and involves the MapInfo map and the raster map.
The map information is displayed in the map window on the Probe. The map information
includes the map information about the test area, test routes, events, and engineering parameters.
l MapInfo map
A MapInfo map consists of multiple layers, and each layer is saved in a file. The files
supported by the MapInfo map are in .tab or .gst (GeoSet) format. A GeoSet is a special
type of workspace used for map layers and saves the configurations including layer order,
labels, and legends.
l Raster map
The entire raster map can be considered as a layer. The raster map supported by the
Probe is in .tif, .bmp, .jpg, .gif, or .png format.
Layer
A layer is a set of data displayed in the map window. There are two main types of layers: map
layers and indicator layers.
l A map consists of multiple map layers.
l An indicator layer includes the information related to events, IEs, and cells.
A layer may contain multiple objects. For example, a map layer contains all the roads and water
areas on the map; a cell layer (see Figure 5-1) contains multiple engineering parameters.
Label
Labels are the texts that represent the objects contained on each layer in the map window. For
example, the fields of the engineering parameters on a cell layer, the values and indexes of the
IEs on an IE layer, and the names of the buildings on a building layer.
Context
After the Probe is installed, the system automatically installs the world map. If no other maps
are imported, the system displays the world map by default each time you open the outdoor map
window.
If engineering parameters are imported, the Probe automatically loads the engineering
parameters and displays them as a layer of the map after you open the outdoor map window.
The indoor map window and the outdoor map window are mutually exclusive. Therefore, you
must close the outdoor map window before opening the indoor map window. Similarly, you
must close the indoor map window before opening the outdoor map window.
5.2.1 Importing Outdoor Test Maps
The MapInfo map and raster map can be imported. The MapInfo map consists of multiple layers,
and each layer is saved in a file. The entire raster map can be considered as a layer. You can
import outdoor test map during the outdoor test to facilitate the data browse in the outdoor map
view.
5.2.2 Importing Indoor Test Maps

l Handover feature
The handover feature consists of forcing handover and forbid handover. The forcing
handover is used to check whether the neighboring relation between cells is added properly.
The forbid handover is used to measure the coverage range of the newly constructed site.
The forcing handover and forbid handover are independent of each other.
– If the forbid handover is successfully performed, the MS in dedicated state is not
switched until the MS is disconnected from the network.
– If the forcing handover is successfully performed and the neighboring relation between
the serving cell and the neighboring cells is normal, the MS can be switched to the
destination cell other than the non-destination cell.
l ARFCN control and band control
After the ARFCN is controlled in idle state, the system automatically prohibits the handover
if the MS originates a call. In such a case, the MS remains on the destination ARFCN. After
the band is controlled in idle state, the band is controlled in dedicated state. In such a case,
the system filters the neighboring cells of the non-destination band.
l CBA inversion
The CBA is a parameter set by the BSC in the GSM system and is used to control the access
of a cell. When the cell is under construction, the value of the CBA cannot be accessed by
common users. During this time, the MS can access the cell to verify the functions of the
newly-constructed cell through the CBA inversion function.
Procedure

Enabling External Devices.
Context
l Locking the network
According to the mobile country code (MCC) and mobile network code (MNC), the UE
camps on a specific PLMN after the network is locked.
l Locking EARFCN and band
After the EARFCN is locked in idle state, the system automatically prohibits the handover
if the UE originates a call. In such a case, the UE remains on the destination EARFCN.
After the band is locked in idle state, the band is locked in dedicated state. In such a case,
the system filters the neighboring cells of the non-destination band.
l Locking a cell
According to the EARFCN and physical cell identity (PCI), the UE camps on a specific
serving cell after a cell is locked.
l Turning over the CBA
The CBA is a parameter configured for the LTE system to control whether the UE is allowed
to access a cell. When the cell is under construction, the CBA value indicates that the
common subscriber cannot access the cell. In this case, the UE can access this cell through
the CBA turn-over function to verify the functions of this cell.
l Locking the transmit power of the PUSCH
According to the transmit power of the PUSCH within the specified range, perform the
related operations. Then, the UE uses the constant transmit power to transmit signals and
the power control function does not take effect. In this case, the cell performance can be
evaluated.
Procedure
Step 1 Choose Test > Forcing Function > LTE Forcing Feature. The LTE Forcing Feature dialog
box is displayed.
For details about the parameters in the LTE Forcing Feature dialog box, see 12.21 Parameters
for Testing the Forcing Feature of the GSM.
The EARFCN of the serving cell that the UE camps on is displayed in Serving ARFCN. The
PCI of the serving cell is displayed in Serving PCI.
Step 4 Click Apply. Then, the UE performs the forcing feature test.
The latest forcing feature status of the UE is displayed in the MS Current State area.

causes. This also describes how to solve these problems. This also describes the using skills.
Symptom
The Probe cannot be started normally and the system displays Lock Error:Verify Lock
Failed.
Possible Causes
The possible causes of the fault that the Probe fails to verify the dongle are as follows:
Procedure
Step 1 Check whether the dongle is plugged in.
Step 2 Check whether the connection between the dongle and the USB port is normal.
Step 3 Check whether the dongle drive is installed correctly. It is recommended that you reinstall the
dongle drive.
Step 4 Check whether the system time is changed. Do not change the system time before starting the
Probe. The dongle controls the authority through the system time. The system time must be the
current time or later than the current time.
Step 5 Check whether the dongle expires. The license of the dongle that expires cannot be used. You
need to apply for a new license.
Step 6 Check whether the GENEX Shared components are installed properly. It is recommended that
you reinstall the GENEX Shared components.
Step 7 Check whether another dongle exists and whether a dongle conflicts with the dongle of the
Probe. It is recommended that you uninstall the Sentinal Drive and reinstall the GENEX Shared.
----End
Possible Causes
The ESN changes and cannot match the license.
Procedure
l Use the dongle edition of the Probe.
l Apply for multiple licenses based on the number of network adapters on the PC.
The Probe cannot identify the ESN of the hard disk on the PC because of PC configuration.
In this case, the Probe selectively identifies the ESN of the network adapter on the PC. If
multiple network adapters exist on the PC, the network adapter ESN changes after the
operating system is started. Therefore, you are advised to apply for licenses based on the
number of network adapters on the PC. When the message Error: ESN is not
correct! is displayed, load the corresponding license file to the system again.

Table 14-6 lists the basic concepts of the PSTN SQE Server.
Basic Description
Concepts
Logfile The logfile is the record of the collected information during the drive test.
The test data is stored in a file during the drive test. This file is called logfile
(.gen file). Through the logfile, you can easily browse and analyze data.
Project The PSTN SQE Server is used to manage test items based on the project. A
maximum of eight speech channels can be configured in a project. Multiple
test tasks can be configured for each speech channel.
Test task A test task consists of test items provided by the system. You can configure
test tasks as required. The test task can provide guidelines for the speech
quality test during the drive test.
Event The PSTN SQE Server provides the events of the speech quality evaluation.
These events indicate the status of the speech quality evaluation test. You
can browse predefined events in the SpeechView window.
MOS The MOS is a subjective evaluation method adopting the ITU-T P.830
protocol. According to the requirements of the P.830 protocol, a specified
talker and listener in the specified environment analyze the speech quality
by collecting the objective feelings of the tested person in different scenarios.
Recording The PSTN SQE Server receives the speech sample played on the test
terminal through the PSTN, and then records the speech sample in the
destination file.
Playing The PSTN SQE Server plays the speech sample through the PSTN network.
