2 ACTIX User Manual

Firstly . How can we install Actix ?
. Finish
3 ACTIX User Manual

After starting Analyzer, choose how you want to proceed by selecting an engineering process.
We will start with Analyzer Classic then Spotlight

So..Select Analyzer Classic and enjoy
4 ACTIX User Manual

After Actix setup we need to create workspace ..

View >> Display new map
5 ACTIX User Manual

Loading cell file
Unfortunately Actix isnt compatible with TEMS cell file, It accept Cell Ref .
How can we create Cell Ref ?
Open TEMS cell file and delete the first raw
Save the file as Text (Tab delimited)
6 ACTIX User Manual

Actix >> Cells >> Network Explorer
Import from new template
Open the text file
7 ACTIX User Manual

Write templete name >> next
GSM_Cells >> Sector_ID >> Select CI
Repeat for each of the fields in the GSM_Cell node and GSM_Site node then press finish
8 ACTIX User Manual

Repeat the same procedures to create 3G Cell Ref.
9 ACTIX User Manual

Load Egypt map as shown below
Enjoy
10 ACTIX User Manual

How can you load cell ref ?
Tools >> Preferences >> CellRefs >>File Location >> Open it

Now we are ready for log files analysis...
2G Log Files analysis
Load 2G log files
After loading log files we should merge them to be one log file
Tools >> Create Superstream

Select MS1 and change name to be 2G DT
Note: MS1>2G , MS2 > 3G
Open 2G interfaces that help you for log files analysis

Right click on log files >> Display From >> GSM interfaces as shown below .one by one

2G analyzer interface:
Plot Rxlev
2G DT >> Down Link Measurements >> ServRxLevSub >> Drag to the map

Modify ranges and adjust colors :

Plot Rx qual


Plot serving CI
2G DT >> Serving Cell Parameters >> ServCI >> right click: Display on map

Plot Events
2G DT >> TEMS >> TEMSEventHandoverOk >> Drag to map
If you want to run log files:

3G Log Files analysis

Create 3G DT super stream by merging log files (MS2)
Create 3G analyzer interface

Plot RSCP
3G DT >> 3GUMTS >> Down Link Measurements >> Uu_ActiveSet_RSCP >> Uu_ActiveSet_RSCP_0

Plot Ec/No
3G DT >> 3GUMTS >> Down Link Measurements >> Uu_ActiveSet_Ec/No >> Uu_ActiveSet_Ec/No_0
Plot Active set count (Number of cells in Active set list)


3G DT >> 3GUMTS >> Down Link Measurements >> Uu_ActiveSet_Count
Plot serving cells (Scrambling codes):

3G DT >> 3GUMTS >> Down Link Measurements >> Uu_ActiveSet_SC >> Uu_ActiveSet_SC_0

Plot RSCP footprint of specific cell (CS)

3G DT >> 3GUMTS >> Pilot Measurements >> CPICH_AllSets_UE_RSCP_For_SC >> select your SC
Plot 3G Events
3G DT >> TEMS >> TEMS Event

HSDPA Throughput analysis
3G UMTS >> Down Link Measurements >>3G HSDPA >> Uu_HSDPA_Throughput_MAC >> Display on Workbook
Excell sheet will be opened as shown.


Using Pivot chart, create the below graph
How can we export log files to Tab file or Kml file? Actix make it very easy


By Actix we can plot DT directions
Its very easy to convert DT results to Histogram using Actix!!

How Can We Generate KPIs Report By Actix?
From Analysis..
UMTS Drive Test Analysis

The O/P will be...

UMTS Call Statistics


The O/P will be...
UMTS Call Setup Analysis

The O/P will be...


New engineering process >> Spotlight
Create new project

Select cell ref
Add log files

GSM Spotlight Report

The below is the O/P report


Event Explorer
The Event Explorer provides a detailed analysis of critical failure events such as Call Drops and Call
Setup Failures.

Ex: We need to analyze the below dropped call
Nicethe below is the dropped call analysis its very easy way

Using Filters
Really ..Its very good feature..It enable us to filter on bad quality spots

Attributes

Radio Network Analysis
Spotlight contains the following Radio Network Analysis:
- Coverage Analysis.
- Allows you to perform wide area coverage-based analyses in GSM, it determines the coverage
footprint of cells and identifies
- Overshoot against coverage design boundaries.

The page operates in two modes: Best Server and Where Seen. Changing the mode affects the
Rxlev attribute that is displayed on the map.
In Best Server mode, the Rxlev when the selected cell was the best server is displayed (note that in
this mode, Raquel can be seen).
In Where Seen mode, the Rxlev whenever the cell was measured is displayed.

Quality Tab:
Distance Tab:

The Visualization tab:
There is a good feature for detecting cross sectors.

It indicates % of samples >180 degree beam width.
Ex:

Also, we can use Filters and attributes as shown before.
