VOICE QUALITY MEASUREMENTS
Nemo Outdoor supports mobile-to-mobile and mobile-to-fixed-to-mobile measurements. The
measurements enable the assessment of the quality of voice during voice calls as perceived by end-
users. The measurement is based on the ITU-T recommendation P.862.1 and it produces a PESQ
score that is mapped on an EMOS (Estimated Mean Opinion Score) scale. The Nemo Voice Quality
system setup consists of Nemo Outdoor, 1-4 mobiles, 1-4 audio modules, and the Nemo multi rack.

In mobile-to-mobile measurements, one terminal is calling another and the mobiles send a test sample
in one or both directions. These measurements present the combination of the uplink quality of the
transmitting terminal and the downlink quality of the receiving terminal.
In mobile-to-fixed-to-mobile measurements, a terminal calls a fixed number (PSTN) that is connected
to a Nemo Server with the Audiotest option. These measurements present the downlink quality of the
terminal at the Nemo Outdoor end, the uplink quality of the terminal at the server end, and the
downlink quality of the receiving terminal.
5 Nemo Voice Quality Guide


VOICE QUALITY SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
When Nemo Outdoor calls the fixed line connected to the server, the server answers the call and
Nemo Outdoor/Audio module starts sending the configured test sample. The server records 1.5
seconds of incoming audio after which it compares the recorded sample and chooses the best
matching sample from the default samples. After the identification, the server sends the identified,
non-degraded sample to Nemo Outdoor that records it and calculates the PESQ score. Along with the
test samples, short pseudo-noise bursts can be heard between the samples. They are used for
synchronization purposes and do not affect the PESQ score because they are eliminated before the
calculation.
After receiving the test sample, Nemo Outdoor sends the same sample to the server. This time the
server recognizes the sample, records it for the duration of the identified sample, calculates the score,
opens a measurement file, and stores the result there. The file is closed when the line is dropped.
The test goes on alternating until Nemo Outdoor drops the call or the pseudo-noise sync bursts are
not detected for four consecutive times by either end. As the dropped line sound varies greatly in
different countries, it might be that the server does not detect the sound. The server can detect up to 3
pre-programmed dropped-line sounds. In case the server does not detect the line drop, it takes up to
30 seconds for the server to automatically hang-up the line as it drops the call after four consecutive
pseudo-noise bursts are missing.
Note that sometimes the first pseudo-noise sync burst that is longer than a mi d-cal l burst
can be lost due to an initial handover. In such a case, the server and Nemo Outdoor cannot
synchronize. In this case, what happens next depends on the side where it was missing:
server hangs up in 30 seconds and Nemo Outdoor in 15 seconds so the worst case is 45
seconds. Set one mi nute between calls to be sure that the server is ready before the next
call comes.
6 Nemo Voice Quality Guide


SETTING UP THE SYSTEM
This chapter will describe the steps for setting up and configuring the voice quality measurement
system. Please install the Nemo Outdoor software first. Refer to the Nemo Outdoor user manual for
detailed instructions.
CONNECTING NEMO OUTDOOR MULTI DEVICE
When there are two or more audio modules in use, the Nemo Outdoor Multi device is required for
measurements. This chapter describes the installation of the Multi device.
There is a status led at the back of the Multi unit which will blink either red, amber, or green. Please
observe the led during installation and use as it will indicate whether the Multi unit is working properly
or not.
Red: This light signifies the loss of USB communication with the host. If the loss is due to
unplugging the unit, the light will blink red a few times before turning green when it is reconnected.
Otherwise, the light indicates a problem with the (Edgeport/8) drivers, which may need to be
reinstalled. The red will also blink during installation until the installation is complete.
Amber (orange): This light signifies serial port activity on the MMAC2 (Edgeport/8). The amber
light may also flash briefly during installation.
Green: This light indicates that the serial ports are successfully set up and the MMAC2
(Edgeport/8) is operating normally.
Instal l i ng and connecti ng the Nemo Outdoor Mul ti devi ce:
1. Before connecting the Multi device to your computer, insert the Nemo Outdoor installation CD-
ROM disk with the Edgeport/8 driver file into the CD-ROM drive.
2. Switch on the computer. Switch on power in Multi holder from the power switch at the back of the
Multi unit.
3. Connect the USB cable to the Multi holder and the other end to your computer. Windows will detect
the USB hub automatically.
4. Windows will detect the new Edgeport/8 device. Drivers are found on the Nemo Outdoor
installation CD-ROM. Click Yes in the Digital Signature Not Found dialog box if it appears.
Windows2000 may find many new devices. Wait until the process is finished.

the port with the bigger number as the trace port, e.g., COM59 as trace port and COM58 as
modem port.

6. In the VQ Device Port, select the COM port where the serial cable of the audio module is
connected. For example, the serial cable is connected to port number 4 in the Multi unit (in the front
and middle). Go to the Device Manager. Under Ports you see eight Edgeport items. Count to the
fourth item and check the COM port number, COM52 in the example below.

12 Nemo Voice Quality Guide


7. Do not select anything in the Dial-Up Connection fields.

Note that you need to add and configure each mobile separately. If you have several
mobiles and audi o modules, make sure that you select the correct ports for each mobi le +
audio module combi nation.
8. Click OK. The test terminal will start and initialize the audio module. You are now ready to start the
measurements.
9. Remember to check that the audio (earphone) level of the test mobile is at minimum.
13 Nemo Voice Quality Guide


MODIFYING THE NEMO AUDIO MODULE (EVOQ)
FOR DIFFERENT TERMINALS

Depending on the terminal used with the EVOQ module, the module needs to be modified accordingly.
The terminals are either used by common ground cables or differential ground cables. The table below
shows the terminal model and ground type.

APPENDIX 1
NEMO SERVER INSTALLATION
Please refer to the enclosed IBM server installation documents how to setup the power, keyboard,
mouse, and display.
Do not connect the server to the Internet at this time. The firewall of the server is active but the root
(that is the superuser account on Linux) password is weak by default, which makes the server
vulnerable to intrusions.
Change the root password first:
1. Boot the server. Wait until the logon prompt appears.
2. Log on as root.
Username: root
Password: nemonemo
After the logon has completed, Fedora Core 2 desktop appears.
3. Select the Terminal / Command Line icon from the bottom row (second from left). The following
prompt refers to console commands from now on:
[root@nemoserver root]#
4. Password can be changed with command passwd:
[root@nemoserver root]# passwd
Changing password for user root.
New UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
Create the new password according to the following guidelines:
Do not use common words or names
8 characters long
Has upper and lower case characters, numbers and special characters
Following is an example of such password (do not use this): 6yV-1pSc
After the root password has been changed to a stronger one, it is safer to connect with Internet.
Please note that Anite Finland cannot guarantee absolutely safety when the server is connected to the
Internet, especially if the data test option is installed. This is because the data test option has active,
public services like FTP, WWW, POP3, and SMTP that can be (or become) vulnerable. However, the
server has a precisely configured firewall that should prevent all common intrusions.
Audio Test Installation
Server has 4 to 12 analogue Loop Start (FXO) RJ 11 ports for connecting with POTS (PSTN) lines.
31 Nemo Voice Quality Guide


1. Connect lines to RJ 11 connectors that are located at the rear side of the server. There is no need
to configure the number of each line.
2. Switch on the server and wait until the Login prompt appears. The server is then operational.
There is no need to log on unless one wants, for example, to configure network settings as described
in chapter Configuring the Server on page 31.
Configuring the Server
These settings are optional.
Changi ng Network Setti ngs
1. Log on as root.
Username: root
Password: nemonemo
Note: At this time the root password shoul d be different than shown here as it has been
changed previously (see page 30).
After the logon has completed, Fedora Core 2 desktop appears.
2. Select the Terminal / Command Line icon from the bottom row (second from left).
In Fedora Core 2, or Linux generally, network interfaces are named as eth0, eth1, etc. so that the
last number is different for each interface. The following interfaces are installed in each data test
option:
Data test options Available network interfaces
NONE lo, eth0
1 Data test option lo, eth0, eth1, eth2, eth3, eth4
2 Data test options lo, eth0, eth1, eth2, eth3, eth4, eth5, eth6, eth7, eth8

Note: A special interface lo is the local loop-back interface that is used by the operating system for local communications.
Each of these interfaces have separate start-up scripts and these scripts are located in folder
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ and are named like this: script for eth0 is ifcfg-eth0, script for
eth1 is ifcfg-eth1, and so on.
By editing these scripts it is possible to switch between DCHP and manually assigned IP
addresses.
3. Change the interface eth0 settings with the following command (replace eth0 with other interface if
needed):
[root@nemoserver root]# cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
[root@nemoserver root]# vi ifcfg-eth0


Now the vi-editor opens. By default the configuration uses DHCP and shows:
DEVICE=ETH0
32 Nemo Voice Quality Guide


ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=dhcp

Set the vi-editor to insert-mode by pressing sequence Esc i
Note that all vi-editor commands are case-sensitive.
Change the configuration to static IP:
DEVICE=ETH0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=192.168.10.255
IPADDR=192.168.10.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
TYPE=Ethernet

Note that parameters IPADDR, NETMASK and BROADCAST are supplied by ISP, and
BROADCAST are optional.
Save the script and close the vi-editor by pressing sequence Esc : x. Repeat the procedure for each
network interface that should have a static IP address.
Changi ng Audio-Test Setti ngs
1. Log on as root and select the Terminal / Command Line icon from the bottom row.
2. Audio-test service settings can be changed by editing file /usr/vqd/voiceqd.conf
[root@nemoserver root]# vi /usr/vqd/voiceqd.conf

Instructions for using vi-editor can be found from previous chapter.

This is the default configuration:
# Ani t e Fi nl and voi ce qual i t y conf i gur at i on

The most important settings are SW and HW Gain settings. Because the actual analogous PSTN
line levels may vary greatly on different places it might be necessary that gain settings should be
adjusted.
Maximum values for both are 12.0, do not exceed this limit. If the test sample speech when
listened from mobile end sounds distorted, lower both values by 1.0 and try again until best score
is achieved. And if the speech sounds too weak and scores are lower than expected, increase both
gains by 1.0 until best score is achieved.

3. After the configuration has been modified, the voiceqd service has to be restarted. This command
stops the process:
[root@nemoserver root]# /usr/vqd/vqd-run stop
Service is then automatically restarted by the system after 1 minute max.
Changi ng Audio-Test Sampl es

By default, reference samples are located in folder /usr/vqd/test_samples
This folder can be changed for example to /home/nemotest/samples if one wants to upload new test
samples via FTP. However, new samples will be loaded by vqd service only when it starts so after new
samples are in place, reboot the server or use the method described in previous chapter to restart the
service.
Note that there should be maximum 8 samples total in the samples folder if there are more, the
server may not have enough time to identify the sample during first receiving from field end.
34 Nemo Voice Quality Guide



Runni ng Voi ceqd Servi ce Manuall y
In case one wants to observe the voiceqd service operation in real-time, the service can be run
manually on the terminal.
Crontab is a system where certain tasks can be run at given intervals. In this case a script that checks
whether the voiceqd service process is up and running runs once every minute.
1. Log on as root and select the Terminal / Command Line icon from the bottom row.
2. Crontab settings can be changed by editing the file /etc/crontab
[root@nemoserver root]# vi /etc/crontab

Instructions for using the vi-editor can be found from the previous chapter.
Enter insert-mode (Esc i) and find the line that reads:
* * * * * r oot / usr / vqd/ vqd- r un. sh > / dev/ nul l

That line should be commented out, and comments begin with character #:
# * * * * * r oot / usr / vqd/ vqd- r un. sh > / dev/ nul l

After the change, save and close (Esc : x) and the service will not be automatically restarted anymore.
After the Crontab has been modified, the voiceqd service has to be stopped:
[root@nemoserver root]# cd /usr/vqd
[root@nemoserver root]# ./vqd-run stop

Now the service can be run manually and it writes the log output - in addition to log file - to the
terminal where it runs:
[root@nemoserver root]# ./voiceqd
If you want to re-enable the automatic restarting, just repeat the previous procedure and uncomment
the above-mentioned line.

Log Instructi ons

The logs of the vqd-service are located in the /usr/vqd folder and they look like this:
20050421_2035_log.txt
35 Nemo Voice Quality Guide


The easiest way to retrieve the logs is to put them into a tar archive and to send them by e-mail.
1. Log in and open console as described earlier. Go to the /usr/vqd folder.
[root@nemoserver root]# cd /usr/vqd/
2. Create a new archive named logs.tar and put all logs in it
[root@nemoserver root]# tar cf logs.tar *log.txt
3. Compress the archive
[root@nemoserver root]# gzip logs.tar
4. Move it to folder /home/nemotest, download it by FTP and send by e-mail as an attachment.
[root@nemoserver root]# mv logs.tar.gz /home/nemotest
