What is DT?
Drive

Testingis a method of measuring and

assessing the coverage, capacity andQuality
of Service(QoS) of a mobile radio network.

What is Purpose of DT?

DT is used to Check the quality of existing &

new site.

Types of DT
Network

Benchmarking
Optimization & Troubleshooting
Service Quality Monitoring

Audit of Site
To

check Physical Parameters of

Sites
Azimuth
M Tilt
E Tilt

Applying for and Importing the License

In the case of no license is available, the Probe displays the
following dialog box. Record the ESN in the first red circle and fill
in the License Application based on the attached template. Then,
send the License Application to Liu Fengzhen (liufengzhen
00126279/huawei) and notify her of the application through Lotus
Notes. After you obtain the license file, click Update License to
import it.

Choose File > New Project.

Choose Configuration > Hardware

Configuration > Hardware Configuration.

Click

Select a hardware device to be added.

shown in the following figure.

The device can be an MS, a GPS, or a scanner.

Note: Currently, the Probe does not support the external
scanners, but it supports the scanner function of
Huawei UEs.

Project Management MS Configuration I

Select MS in Type.
Select the version of the MS in Model. Currently, only LTE
UE1.0 and LTE TDD C04 are available.

Project Management GPS Configuration I

Select GPS in Type.

Select the GPS model in
Model. Currently, only
NMEA is available.

Project Management GPS Configuration II

Generally, remain the default settings except Com Port. If there is

a special requirement for Baudrate, which is inconsistent with the
default value, type the value required.
The setting in Com Port is the port number of the computer where
the GPS is connected. You can check the port number in the
device manager of Windows.
