WHAT IS ACTIX ?:
Apost-processing tool for GSM, GPRS, UMTS, CDMA-one, CDMA2000 and
IS-95.
WHAT I CAN DO WITH ACTIX ?:
Actix provides users the ability to manage, visualize, replay, analyze and
optimize networks based on collected data.
WHERE I CAN USE ACTIX ?
Actix A-RVS( Rollout Verification Solution) module will be used to
troubleshoot and optimise UMTS networks.
WHY ACTIX?
ACTIX, as a network optimization platform, is a powerful tool that will allow
you to discover, locate, manage, troubleshoot and find solutions of your
network problem. You just have to know what you are looking for.

Events are triggered by measurements or by higher
layers(UTRAN or NAS messages)

4.3-USE ACTIX-TABLES
Parameter(s) can be displayed on a table:
Step1: Select parameter
Step2:right click on it
Step3: display on table
Step4: select next parameter
Step5: drag&drop it on the same table
Step6: and so on..
Available sheets:
Series,histograms and statistics
Can NOT be saved as Excel but for this
There is another feature as presented
on the next slide
4.4-USE ACTIX-WORKBOOKS (6/11)
Parameter(s) can be displayed on a WORKBOOK:
Step 2:right click on it
Step3: display on workbook (An Excel workbook will be opened)
Step5: right click on it
Step6:display on workbook(active)
Step7: and so on..
Available sheets:Series,histograms and statistics.
Also graphs&charts can be created like in any Excel workbook
4.4-USE ACTIX-CHARTS
Parameter(s) can be displayed on a chart:
Step 2: right click on it
Step3: display on chart
Step5: drag&drop it on the table
Step6: and so on..
4.4-PREDEFINED REPORTS AND FAVORITES
> Favorites: we already discussed about forms, analysis, states Another trick that you
will probably use is: monitor a list of KPI given by the RNO manager. For this you
select the parameters on the left size, right click on it and choose add to favorites. Do
the same for all KPI. You are lucky because you do this just once. Every new trace you
will load will have a quick view ONLY of this parameters in the favorites sheet( it is on
the bottom side of your screen, left corner)
4.5-SAVING YOUR WORK AND YOUR SETTINGS
> Dont forget
Save your Workspace.
Save your settings for legends, favorites, special queries.
