New Features
General
o
Supports Windows 8.1 (It is recommended for Windows 8.0 users to upgrade to Windows 8.1 before installing
the latest version of Xeus)
Network
o
The "Show Co-SC" option at the Cell Context Menu in the Network Explorer now uses UARFCN of the selected
cell to find the Cells that has the same UARFCN and SC
The "Show BSIC" option at the Cell Context Menu in the Network Explorer now uses BCCH of the selected cell
to find the Cells that has the same BCCH and BSIC
The "Assign Random SC" option in the Cell Context menu in Network Explorer is renamed to "Find New SC"
while the "Random Number Calculation Method" option is removed. Xeus now attempts to find the available
SC that is not used by any of the neighbors up to 3rd Tier. If there is no suitable SC found, it finds the SC that is
not used by neighbors up to 2nd Tier.
The Tech selection in the Interference tool is removed because it is only applicable for GSM. The Tool has been
renamed as GSM Interference
