• Minimum version to use is Nemo Outdoor 9.01 (due to Huawei license server change)
• Forcing features: NR band forcing is not supported
• Nemo Outdoor 9.20 required with EMUI12 versions
• LTE-A: Number of secondary serving cells is > 0 when secondary channel is configured but not active.
The activation state is shown in “Cell state” parameter.
• Listed cells are not reported in idle mode
• RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message is missing occasionally
• Attach/detach commands should be avoided with LTE terminals. Using these commands causes
instabilities in the UEs. UEs can also reset itself. Issue is fixed to Nemo Outdoor version 6.4.1.8 but if the
issue is still experienced, the following instructions should be followed. It is recommended to choose
from User Interface Properties -> Measurement -> Force detach when going to idle mode -> No. This
will prevent the UE from detaching. If attach/ detach commands are needed frequently, for example,
with script files, it is recommended that ‘Radio Off’ / ‘Radio On’ commands are used instead of
attach/detach.
• MultiRAB testing. When a voice call is terminated, the PS data connection might be released with UEs
using the “Trace interface” call method to make voice calls. In such a case it is recommended to use
“Trace interface 2” call method.
• Android 13: With some non-root phones, notification permission rights need to be given manually from
phone. Settings – Apps – NATA – upper corner *** -> allow restricted permissions. After this
notifications can be enabled. This step is not required with Nemo Firmware phones.
Asus Handsets
• These forcing features are not supported: GSM channel lock, UMTS scr code lock
• Netflix and Instagram not supported
• When using Nemo Outdoor 9.30 with NATA, following ADB files from Nemo Outdoor 9.20 installation
folder need to be used for replacing files in version 9.30 installation folder (adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll,
AdbWinUsbApi.dll). With Nemo Outdoor 9.50 autodetect recognized adb-compatibility with default
adb-version and adb connection can be selected from list in offline mode. With Nemo Outdoor 9.60
autodetect device – after error popup go offline – in device connection menu, select ADB serial from list
– go online.
• For NR Standalone usage, disabling FR2 bands could be required
•

• If auto detection is used to add device to Nemo Outdoor the CS dial up connection should be manually
changed to “not used”. This can be done via device properties window.
• Currently MMS send functionality is supported with CDMA terminals. Received MMS messages are not
detected.
• FER F-SCH (supplemental channel) is not working correctly
Scanning Receivers
Nemo FSR1 scanner
PCTEL scanners
PCTEL HBflex
• HBflex support implemented to Nemo Outdoor version 8.3.1. Scanner requires firmware updates to
support RSSI power measurements and 5G NR decoding.
• Please contact Keysight NWS sales for further information.
PCTEL MXflex
• The scanner must not be added to Nemo Outdoor before the scanner LED turns green. During the
scanner start-up process the LED is amber. If the scanner is added to Nemo Outdoor in the middle of
the start-up process, it can cause Nemo Outdoor to crash.
• Missing neighbor difference to strongest pilot reports value 0.0dBm
• P-SCH CINR is not available
PCTEL MX
• The scanner must not be added to Nemo Outdoor before the scanner LED turns green. During the
scanner start-up process the LED is amber. If the scanner is added to Nemo Outdoor in the middle of
the start-up process, it can cause Nemo Outdoor to crash.
• When MX scanner receiver is used with a Nemo Invex UIC module, other devices must not be connected
to the same UIC module.
• The power switch must remain in the Drive Test position at all times. The Indoor Test Mode is not
available at this time.
• The GPS antenna needs to be connected before power up.
• Occasionally scanner device does not accept scanning configuration sent by Nemo Outdoor application
even though status is “scanning”. Device is not reporting any scanning results. In such situations it is
advised to open device measurement properties again and press ok. Issue have been reported to the
vendor.
• Detecting and connecting the PCTel MX scanning receiver for the first time takes a much longer time.
Time depends on the number of available COM ports installed in the computer. With Win XP computers
the required time is longer than with Win7 operating system. The required time is ~2min- 10 min. It is
recommend to save the hardware configuration file with Nemo Outdoor after the first connection to the
scanner receiver. Starting device with an existing hardware configuration file is much faster.
• After starting the measurement it can take up to 10- 20 seconds before the scanner receiver starts
reporting the scanning results
• Problems with some Dell Notebooks.
o Possible problems are caused by some of the drivers installed on Dell systems by default. The
problems can be solved out by removing the original system and re-installing the operating
system only with the components necessary to operate with the scanners.
o It has been recognized that the systems which only provide 1024 bytes Host rec. buffer size
(instead of 2048 bytes) can cause issues with the scanning receivers. This can be checked from
the Rohde & Schwarz TSMx Device driver properties tab. Dell Vostro 1014 model has been
found to be incompatible with the R&S TSML-GW scanner. GSM scanning cannot be performed.
o Please check the supported jumbo frames from the network connection properties of your
laptop before connecting the scanner receiver
• To be able to measure LTE Time Offset, a GPS antenna must be connected to the receiver
