00 Initial Steps for Setting Up Actix for GNG B

Actix Setup Guideline

Initial setup and GNG Report creation

Introduction• The presentation will show all the steps needed to post

process Agilent data using Actix and create GNG report

• Explain steps for how to create - Mapinfo Cluster boundary - Celref file- Network image from Cingular package- Repository from Cingular package- GNG report- Threshold Settings ( check before running Actix)

Create folder Step 1. Create folder “MapFiles” on the path below if it doesn’t exist. Update

CingularProject001 map file with respective market polygon (should have cluster ID and can be selected as region). Copy map file in two places:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Actix\Analyzer\MapFilesC:\Program Files\Actix\Analyzer\MapFiles

Step 2. Need to put CellRef file for the respective market in the following place:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Actix\Analyzer\Bin\CellRefs

Step 3. Make sure that Actix should have the latest Network Image Templates and GNG package for GNG, IRAT and Repository in these folders:

Step 1 – Setup MapInfo Cluster Boundary

• To create GNG cluster reports Acitx uses specific mapfiles to identify cluster names and boundaries.

• MapInfo files are stored under the ctc-server/markets/Actix Map/Mapfiles. Copy the 5 files named CingularProject001 to your local C drive on the Actix machine.

• Copy market clusters to this master CingularProject001 map file. Cluster polygon should be region type with cluster ID assigned. Save CingularProject001 in two places:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Actix\Analyzer\MapFilesC:\Program Files\Actix\Analyzer\MapFiles

• Actix needs to be restared before these mapfiles are loaded

1. Take TEMS Cell File and delete first line from that file.2. Save that file as txt extension.3. In Actix, Click on Cells / Network Explorer:

Step 2 – Create Cell Ref File

4. Right Click on Network Explorer, click import and click Importfrom New Template.


5. Import saved TXT Cell file.

6. Give Template name and click Next.


7. Match all the “Key Sign” and “! Mark” field in WCDMA_Cell from drop down menu.


8. Match all the “Key Sign” and “! Mark” field in WCDMA_Site from drop down menu.


9. Click Finish

10. Click yes to the prompt dialogue box.


11. Close Network explorer window and click yes for the prompt dialogue box.


1. Click Network Image, click create Network Image.

Step 3 – Create GNG Network image

2. Select NetworkImageTemplate___CingularGNG_114, and your desired name to the file. When click OK it will ask you to save, save on desired location.


3. GNG Network Image will appear under Network Image. Right Click on it and click Batch load Files.


4. Select all log files (with *.sd5) from the folder and click open, which will start loading the files.


5. When processing is done, check for the Result which should say “OK” and then Click OK on the window.


1. Click on Workbook and “Workbook____CingularGNG_v1.33(Nov17_06)

Create GNG Report using Network image

2. Click “AllStreams” and click OK. Repeat this two more times to get the GNG Excel Report. Report will pop up in Excel workbook automatically.


The report will not contain IRAT maps at this moment. In orderto produce IRAT plots another network image for IRAT is needed

1. Click Network Image, click create Network Image.


2. Select IRAT_for_PLOTS_NEW, and your desired name to the file. When click OK it will ask you to save, save on desired location.


3. IRAT Network Image will appear under Network Images. Right Click on it and click Batch load Files.


4. Select all log files (*.sd5) from the folder (kit1 and kit2) and click open, which will start the loading the files.


5. When processing is done, check for the Result which should say “OK” and then Click OK on the window.


Often times better GNG result is seen for packet calls byRunning report using Repository instead of network image

Create repository is explained in steps 1 through 7

1. Click Repository, click Create Repository.

Create GNG Report using Repository

2. Give desired name, select “RT_____CingularGNG_014” template from drop down menu (check the latest template if updated). Click “Create & Open”.


3. Right click on the created Repository report and click on Load Data


4. This window will appear, to load data click Add files


5. Select log files (*.sd5) and click open


6. Click OK


7. When loading files is done, check for the Result which should say “OK” and then Click OK on the window.


Steps 8 and 9 shows how to create GNG Report using Repository

8. Right click on “All”, and click on “Cingular GNG Report”


9. Double click on Cingular GNG Report.


10. Report will appear in html format. Click on Show Excel Report to get the Repository Report in excel format.

How to create Network template

Introduction• It can be very time consuming to load all Actix logfiles for a

complete drive and then superstream them.

• If a plot is needed, showing a particular attribute not included in the Cingular Network Image, a custom Network Image extracting the particular attribute will often prove faster than the superstream alternative.

• These instructions will show how to create a custom Network Image extracting the Technology Mode attribute for the MOC and MTC UEs which are not included in the Cingular Network Image.

• Note that a custom Network Image like this is only useful for plotting the included attributes (it can NOT be used to create GNG-reports) and that all logfiles need to be batched again if attributes are changed.

Network Image Template Wizard

• Open the Network Image Template Wizard under Network Image in the Actix menu.


• Another Network Image can be used as input to the new but these instructions will show the procedure without any input.

Network Image Template Wizard• Enter the device name, e.g. MOC, MTC, PS R99 or PS HSDPA, and a filter

corresponding to the device. The filter should be a unique string from the device name in the logfiles, e.g. CSShortMO, CSShortMT, UMTSPSDL or UMHSPSLong, please see slide 3.

Network Image Template Wizard• Add the wanted attributes the each device.




Create Network Image• Save the Network Image Template, e.g. in the default folder and the

Network Image Template can then be found when creating a new Network Image under Network Image in the Actix menu as shown in next slide.

Create Network Image• Create a new Network Image as usual and you will be able to plot

the chosen attributes instead of the superstream all logfiles.
