Sprint Kit #55 Installation Guide

PurposeThe purpose of this document is to provide setup procedures for JDSU Sprint Kit #55. There are 2 configurations of the kit #55 the CDMA/EVDO and the LTE configurations. Both configurations includes a W1314-E18 Scanner Receiver, the CDMA/EVDO configuration includes 2 Samsung Trender phones and a Sierra Wireless 598U EVDO Data Card; the LTE configuration includes 3 LG LS840 UEs. This version of the installation guide will only focus on the setup of the LTE configuration.

Procedure (LTE Configuration)

1. LG LS840 UE SettingsPrior to connecting the LG LS840 UEs to the laptop check the following setting:

1. Diag Port Enabled -- type ##DIAG# (##3424#) on the keypad

2. USB debugging from Home Screen – Settings => Applications => Development=> USB debugging (check)

3. System selection – type ##IOT (##468) to enter the IOT Hidden Menu. Enter the Service Code from the label on back UE. SPC ######. Select System selection to select Network Mode; select preferred Network Mode (LTE Only).

4. Tethering DL PortForwarding – from the same IOT Hidden Menu, select PDN Settings. Select Tethering DL PortForwarding. Verify port forwarding is disabled (or enable). Enabling port forwarding is required only on the UE that will perform the iPerf DL test.

5. Tethering PDN Select – Verify PDN select is set to Using PAM. From the IOT Hidden Menu, select PDN settings, then select Tethering PDN Select. Verify Using PAM

6. Connect UEs to the laptop as shown in the kit diagram below (Section 2). Once the UEs are connected to the laptop. Enable tethering by going to Settings => Wireless and networks => Tethering & portable hotspot. Check USB tethering.

2. Connect devices to laptop

3. Preliminary ChecksThe following steps are to be done prior to running the JDSU data collection kit. This will save time in troubleshooting if there are issues with UE connectivity in the kit when attempting to collect data.

a. LG LS840 UE connection to networkOnce the LG LS840 UEs are connected to the computer and tethered, the UEs should all have a unique IP address from DHCP. When all three UE are tethered and attached to the network you should see the following in the Network and Sharing Center; three Local Area Connections with the Access type of Internet.

This is the Network Connections view; it provides the same connection information but with the device names.

This is the IP addresses from each UE as shown in ipconfig.

b. LG LS840 Connection IssuesIf one or more UEs are tethered and not connected to the network with its own IP address. These are some steps to take to try to resolve the issues.

Open the connection that has no internet access (for example Local Area Connect2)



Date: 08/30/12 Page: 6 of 15

Note that each UE has a different IP address


Select Properties Highlight IPv4 and select Properties

This capture shows that DHCP has been disabled and a static IP address is requestedClick Advanced to see if DHCP is enabled

This capture show no DHCP



Date: 08/30/12 Page: 7 of 15


Change the radio buttons to Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server address automatically. Click Advanced to see if DHCP is enabled

This capture shows DHCP Enabled

4. JDSU NiXT Data Collection Set UpOnce the previous steps are complete and verified, JDSU can be set up for drive testing. The kit will be shipped with a default JDSU NiXT project file setup for Sprint LTE. However there are still market specific parameters that will need to be checked and/or modified for proper kit functionality. The following steps are needed to prepare the tool kit.

Hardware Settings

Verify the correct Com port assignments for the devices from section 2.

Verify that the correct “Trace” and “Dialup” ports are assigned per the device diagram for each UE. Once verified, probe the devices within JDSU to make sure there are no conflicts withing the NiXT software.

1. Receiver Port Settings

Sequencer Settings



Date: 08/30/12 Page: 10 of 15


This section will show how to verify the setting of the sequencer. Verify the UEs are matched to the associated network devices, and the tests in the sequencer are matched to the UEs.

1. UE1 Sequencer Settings

Make sure the Network interface matches the Network Adapter for the UE as shown in Device Manager (see Device Manager screen capture in Section 2).

2. UE1 Sequencer TestsUE1 will be performing the Attach, Ping, and Detach tests



Date: 08/30/12 Page: 11 of 15


The AT commands that are use to attach and detach are found in the C:\Tools\LG LS840 Attach and Detach directory. The AT commands are in the Attach.txt and Detach.txt files

Place desired duration here

The Wait_Timer is a test to pause for a duration in seconds; place the desired duration in seconds in the test.

Place server to ping here



4. UE2 Sequencer TestsUE2 will be performing the iPerf DL UDP test; Tethering DL PortForwarding must be enabled on this UE(see LG LS840 UE Setting). The details for the iPerf server used for the DL tests are as follows:

Server address – 206.123.84.138 Control port 5116



Date: 08/30/12 Page: 13 of 15




6. UE3 Sequencer TestUE3 will be performing iPerf UL UDP test. Do not enable Tethering DL PortForwarding on this UE.The details for the iPerf server used for the UL tests are as follows:

Server address – 67.23.117.67 Server port – 5003



Date: 08/30/12 Page: 14 of 15


Once these settings are made, and you have network connections on the UEs, you are now ready to use the JDSU NiXT kit for field drive testing.
