8.5 Performing a Test Plan

Performing a test plan refers to performing the configured test items of the MS or scanner through the Probe to collect test data. You can use the Probe to perform indoor tests and outdoor tests. Before performing a test plan, ensure that external devices are properly connected and test plans are assigned for the scanner or MS. After the test plan is started, the system carries out the plan and records the test data. You can monitor the test process in real time during the test.

Context

CAUTION

Before performing the test plan, disable the call waiting function of the test terminal.

8.5.1 Setting the APN (GSM/WCDMA)

The APN represents the name of an external network that is connected through packet switched (PS) domain. The APN is used for initializing the modem port of the MS before a data service test is performed. Therefore, the APN must be set before a data service test is performed.

8.5.2 Performing an Indoor Test

The indoor test is performed to test the quality of radio signals inside buildings. Indoor tests are classified into horizontal tests and vertical tests. The GPS is not required for locating the test route indoors. Therefore, the manual dot trace is used for indoor tests. Before performing an indoor test, you do not need to connect the GPS to the PC.

8.5.3 Performing an Outdoor Test

An outdoor test is performed to test the quality of radio signals outside buildings. In an outdoor test, the GPS is required to locate the test route. Therefore, you need to connect the GPS to the PC before an outdoor test.

8.5.4 Monitoring the Test

You can check the progress and status of the test items and test plans during the test or the test replay. This enables you to observe and analyze the test procedure.

8.5.5 Stopping Test Plans

If a test plan is complete or you are about to leave the test car for a long period, you need to stop the test plan and disconnect the external devices.

8.5.1 Setting the APN (GSM/WCDMA)

Prerequisite

The MS is connected and can be recognized by the Probe. For details, see 7.4 Enabling External Devices.

Context

The APN can be set by using any of the following methods: l Setting the APN in the operating system

l Setting the APN in the MS l Setting the APN in the Probe

NOTE

Among the three APN setting methods, settings in the operating system are of the highest priority and settings in the Probe are of the lowest priority. That is, if an APN is set in the operating system and in the Probe, settings in the operating system take effect.

Likewise, the maximum uplink and downlink rates set in the operating system have higher priorities than those set in the Probe. If the APN or the maximum uplink and downlink rates do not work during the test, check whether they are set in the operating system. If they are not set, the Probe initialize the modem based on the latest successful setting.

Procedure

l Set the APN in the operating system.

1. Right-click My Computer and choose Properties to open the System Properties dialog box.

2. On the Hardware tab page, click Device Manager to open the Device Manager dialog box.

3. Expand the Modem node and then double-click the modem to be set.

4. Choose Advanced in the displayed Modem dialog box. Enter the initialized command in the Extra Initialized Command field.

The format of the initialized command is at+cgdcont=1,"ip","APN".

Here, APN is the access point name. For example, the APN of China Mobile is cmwap or cmnet.

5. Click OK. l Set the APN in the MS.

For details about how to set the APN in the MS, see the user guide of the corresponding MS.

l Set the APN in the Probe.

In the Probe, to set the APN when configuring the properties of the Dial Up test item, perform the following steps:

1. On the Probe main interface, click icon to open the Test Plan Control dialog box. 8 Collecting Data

8.5.2 Performing an Indoor Test

Context

In horizontal tests, fixed points are selected according to the floor plan of a building. You can perform a horizontal test according to a predefined test route or according to the test route controlled manually. In vertical tests, the signal distribution in the vertical direction between floors is tested.

Procedure

Step 1 On the View tab page in the navigation pane, double-click IndoorMap. The IndoorMap window is displayed.
