 C:\Documents and Settings\LTE\Desktop\SITE VERIFICATION REPORT ED2_ TND125_F.docx

 TESTING PROCEDURE
 Select a Site

 Ask NOC department if

its Okay.

 Site Okay

 Start with 1st Sector

 Find Nominal Points

 CINR > 20 --- 25
 CQI > 12 --- 15

 Nominal Points
 Found DL < 70 --- 75
 Ask NOC Person To
LOCK the MCS
TESTING PROCEDURE
 Start Downloading
 1GB or 3 mins (Average > 70 Mbs)
TESTING PROCEDURE
 Start Uploading
 3 mins (Average > 7 Mbs )
TESTING PROCEDURE
 Ping Server
 10 Times (avg > 22 --- 30 ms)
TESTING PROCEDURE

 After All Three

Sectors Done.
 Make a Coverage
Log File.
 While
Downloading.
 Make sure all the
three sectors are
covered.
 TESTING PROCEDURE
 After Coverage is Done Make Clockwise Handovers
Between the Sectors

 Do Same for Anti Clockwise Handovers

 Note Done successful Handovers and Failures

TESTING PROCEDURE

Off course , At the End

Make Sure You Have
Done Proper Naming of
Folders and Snaps. So,
That it’s easy for
Analyzer to understand
and do his Job well.
Thanks For Your Patience !
