Netmonitor Field Test Application FAQ
Netmonitor
Screen Shots and Information by PBW
Most if not all Nokia Phones in Field Test Mode will run the
NetMonitor application. There is an extensive tutorial for this application
located here.
In General for Nokia Phones:
For Nokia phones (except GSM). Generally punching in *3001#12345#*
will bring you into an odd menu where you can enable field test (TDMA phones
will have enable/disable and enable w/lights option). You can select enable
Field Test and then power off the phone. Turn the phone back on and more than
likely you will be looking at screen #1 of the test mode. Brining up the menu
system and then going probably to screen 11 will be Net monitor. Select that
menu and hit 00 to disable. Hint any other # to get to different screens or
just scroll up when field test is running.
There are only 7 screens for TDMA phones. Screens
#1 (signal strength, DVC, channel) and #2 (SID) are probably the only two
of real interest.
CDMA phones have 199 screens, many of the upper
number ones are unused. Screens #1 (PN offset, channel, signal strength),
2 (just PN offset & Ec/Io) and 6 (BASE_ID, NID, SID, Protocal rev/type).GSM
phones, generally require a cable and the use of software (such as logomanager)
to enable net monitor. Newer GSM phones do not come with Netmonitor, you have
to shell out alot of $$$ to nokia for a phone with netmonitor enabled firmware.
Older phones will still work. Screen #1 has signal strength and #11 has all
the other static site paramter information (NCC, Channel ((these can change
thought!), LAC (these can also chane!) and CID).
See below for some more CDMA Net Monitor codes and information.
iDEN phones use #*Menu_Button->. This puts
you into a selection mode where you can scroll through a "frozen"
snapshot of a sites parameter. When you get to the screen with the info you
want I recomend you choose trace which will update the display every N sections.
The screen that is probably most helpful has the signal strength and then
the BCCH. It looks like:
30.91
435-F
JUNK
JUNK
They aren't numbered. Finally, some questions and answers on basic stuff:
Do you need an active SIM card? No. decommissioned
Cingular and VoiceStream SIMs will work. However, only active SIMs will display
the signal strength bar!
Does the cell phone have to be on an active account?
No. Since all phones have to be able to make 911 calls a deactivated phone
can idle on the network. Some CDMA phones will not allow you to dial *228[0-7]
to get onto another carriers network (such as a Sprint Nokia) while others
will (like Verizon Nokia).
Do I need an MSL/Code?No, other than the one
above you do not need the MSL.
---> Thanks to pbw for this above input!
Some Additional Notes:
ATT has been very easy to track because the phone only indicates maximum
reading when you are right on top of the site and sometimes not even then.
With your 5160 in test mode screen one you will see the signal strength
as a negative number. When you get down into the -50s you are right on top
of it, -51 is the maximum reading. At that point you need to be looking
at the boresite to get a reading like that.
The display will also show a channel number, this is the setup channel,
as you drive around a site, the signal strength will decrease and then the
phone will rescan, lock into the proper setup channel for that face of the
cell and the signal strength will increase to near max, this will continue
as you drive around the site. There should be three channels for each site.
I watch the signal indicator and once I start getting readings consistently
in the -60s and -50s I start looking for the antenna. When I get down to
-51 I know I'm on top of it and it is just a matter of looking for it.

Field Test for the Nokia 8260
TDMA Phone
This is a TDMA dual band 800 / 1900 MHz phone.
Thanks to PBW for this input (provided on 03/05/05).
You get to the netmonitor feature as with most other nokia phones:
*3001#12345#.
This code works for all Nokia phones except GSM phones, with
the exception of the DCT-4 6340i model (probably because it has TDMA
support). Older, DCT-3 GSM phones required a cable and the use of logomanager
to enable net monitor. At least I had to go that route. Most of the codes
listed on the cell phone page look like codes to display the firmwave/prl
version info.

this link for more Nokia information.

Some Nokia CDMA *# -or- ## Codes
Start with the sequence of *3001#12345#, then enter any of the following
codes:
The following codes may be provider dependent. Some carriers may have
them disabled or use *# instead of ## or using different code that spells
differently for the same function (e.g. ##DATA# or ##BEARER# on some phones).
Dial-A-Codes
##837# or *#837#("VER") ... Displays version screen (also accessible
by [Menu]-[6]-[2]).
##66767# or *#66767# ("MOSMS") ... Displays a selection screen
to allow toggling of MO-SMS (Message Over : Simple Message Service) mode.
##743# or *#743# ("SID") ... Displays the current SID.
##24# or *#24# ("CH")... Displays the current Channel.
##786# ("RUN") ... Displays the Diagnostics menu which contains
the Life Timer, Reconditioned Status, PRL, your number, and an Options
menu which allows you to turn on the Service Screen (Net Monitor) or Restore
Defaults (which resets the phone to factory settings). To restore defaults,
you must enter the SPC/MSL code at the prompt.
##889# ("TTY") ... Displays a selection screen to allow toggling
of TTY mode. (This code is referenced in the official Sprint manual.)
##7738# ("PREV") ... Displays CDMA mode menu, which allows you
to select IS-95A, IS-95B, or IS-2000 modes.
*#7738# ("PREV") ... Displays CDMA mode menu, which allows you
to select IS-95A, IS-2000, or Analog modes.
##8626337# ("VOCODER") or *#3872# ("EVRC") ... Displays
the EVRC settings menu, which allows you to select the EVRC mode as On,
Off, or Home Only.
##2539# ("AKEY") ... Allows you to change the service-specific
Authorization Key via the keypad. When the phone asks for Service programming
code, enter the SPC/MSL for your phone.
*#639# ("NEW") ... Allows you to change the MDN (phone number)
registered in the phone. When the phone asks for Service programming code,
enter the SPC/MSL for your phone.
*#775# ("PRL") ... Allows to toggle the use of PRL.
##nnnnnn# ... Where nnnnnn is a six-digit number (no more, no less), input
will return to the main screen unless the number happens to be your SPC/MSL,
in which case you will be taken to the Phone Programming menu which allows
you to change the MDN (phone number) registered to the phone. (I don't
know if some other combinations in this domain do something or not, but
they all appear to reset the display after entry unless you use the SPC/MSL,
which is usually a hash derived from your ESN and is typically service-specific.)
Other Codes
Hold # at the main screen for 3 seconds ... Displays the Life Timer in
HH:MM format.
Nokia CDMA Phone Net Monitor Information
This section allows you to view diagnostic information and
execute various tests. The codes are four digits long and are split into
a group number (first pair) and a test number (last pair). In the code
1234, for example, 12 is the group and 34 is the test. When executed or
viewed, these codes are displayed in the top-left corner of the phone in
the form 12-34. The following codes I have discovered myself. While more
may exist, that is unlikely as you can scroll through them by pressing
the up or down arrows once you are viewing one of the codes. (If the code
is a test execution, you must enter it directly through the Net Monitor
menu option to execute it. Flipping to that page will simply display the
name of the test.)
While viewing a test screen, press and hold * until the text display changes
and you can scroll through the tests in "explainatory mode" where
you can see the abbreviations for the numbers you are looking at. It's
kind of like a glossary for the Net Monitor.
0000 ... Disables testing and returns to the normal display mode without
disabling the Net Monitor menu option

Nokia CDMA Hidden Menus
The following tricks may not exist or exist in different menu number combos
in different phones.
There are several disabled menus throughout the phone. I have found this
general rule about discovering when a menu should be there (ie, is simply "hidden")
and when it is not really a menu If you enter the number shortcut for the
menu you seek (ie, [Menu]-[2]-[1] shows the Text Messages menu), one of
two errors will occur if you do not get a valid menu: "Invalid Menu" or "Shortcut
Not Available". The latter indicates that the menu is really there,
but the factory or service provider has masked it from public use.
Using this technique, the following menus should exist on the phone:
[Menu]-[1]-[2] ... ?; Instant Messaging menu, most likely.
[Menu]-[2]-[3] ... ?; Something to do with Text Messaging most likely.
[Menu]-[4]-[6] ... ?; Something to do with Profiles
[Menu]-[4]-[7] ... ?; Something to do with Profiles
[Menu]-[4]-[8] ... ?; Something to do with Profiles
[Menu]-[5]-[7] ... The Enhancement Settings menu, which can be accessed
if you have ever had the phone in a cradle or a DKU-5 cable has ever been
connected. It allows you to select Headset or Loopset modes.
[Menu]-[9] ... ?; Applications menu, most likely.
Security Settings Menu
The Security Settings menu is locked on this phone by default. It allows
you to set the phone lock, allowed numbers when the phone is locked,
change the lock code, and enable incoming or outgoing call restrictions.
The default lock code for phones is the last four digits of your MIN
(phone number). You may be able to reset this code by reprogramming your
MIN using the SPC/MSL code as listed above. The menu can be accessed
via [Menu]-[5]-[8].
Field Test for the Nokia 3586
- Telecom New Zealand
(Added on September 30, 2005)
James P from Auckland, NZ states that the 3586 acts the same as the Field
Test for the Nokia 6015i CDMA Phone:
You need to input a proper field test number. If you enter
an invalid one, it will flash no test and return to a normal display. 3101
is a good test to start at. Holding down the star (*) key will get you the
explainations.
Field Test for the Nokia 3589i CDMA Phone
For the Nokia 3589i (CDMA) type in *3101#12345# scroll down
to Field Test select it and then select Enabled. Restart your phone.
You'll then see another Menu option called Net Monitor. Select
it and type in 3030 to get you started. That will take you to the rx/tx screen.
The left number is receive power level and the right is transmit
power level. Both are measured in db. The lower the number the better the
reception. (See below for more info on the 6015 model)
Field Test for the Nokia 5170
/ 5185i CDMA Phones
Both models are CDMA phones.
Thanks to Alex Z for the following great input (March 2, 2005).
For the 51xx and 61xx CDMA phones (5185i and 6185 were the ones
I had), you enable the field test menu option by hitting *3001#12345#
and you go to the field test item and select yes. Some of the TDMA phones
allow you to set the backlight on all the time w/ field test
modes (from that menu). The Nokia 6015i is 'field test' enabled in the same
manner. I presume your bit about the 3589i is wrong as well
(you probably hit *3001#12345# to enable the field test modes).
With the 51 and 61xx series you can hit field test from the menu and punch
in a non zero number. The up/down buttons choose the different
tests. If a field test is being displayed, holding down the pound key (#)
for a few seconds will switch the display to indicate an explaination of what
the data means.
Field Test for the Nokia 6015i
CDMA Phone
Thanks to Alex Z for the following great input (March 2, 2005).
With the 6015i you need to input a proper field test number.
If you enter an invalid one, it will flash no test and return to a normal
display. 3101 is a good test to start at. Holding down the star (*) key will
get you the explainations. I suspect the 3589i is the
same way (test 3030 does not exist on my 6015i).
James P from Auckland, NZ adds (on September 30, 2005)
Just to add to the "Field Test for the Nokia 6015i CDMA

Field Test for the Nokia 6016i
CDMA Phone
Nokia 6016i (one from Sprint), ##33284#. This allows for only
one option, Field Test On/Off.
Menu grouping is the same as the 6255i.
Most sites pointed to this code: ##786# as the way to get to field test but
that did not work for my phone.
Interesting codes that did work were: *#743# (shows the current SID) and *#24#
(shows the current channel). Not bad additions to *#837#
(shows phone/PRL revisions).
Thanks to Parris W. for this input (September 13, 2005)
Field Test for the Nokia 6185
CDMA Phone
SEE ABOVE for the 5185i MODEL INFO which
is applicable to the 6185.
Field Test for the Nokia 6255i
CDMA Phone
On the Nokia 6255i one gets to the field test menu via the standard
*3001#12345# code.
F or CDMA the menu is 3101. The formatting is very sloppy and some screens
are missing but the cord information is there.
Thanks to Parris W. for this update (September 13, 2005).

Select Phone Model: 5190, 6340i,

General GSM Notes:
GSM phones, generally require a cable and the use of software (such as
logomanager) to enable net monitor. Newer GSM phones do not come with Netmonitor,
you have to shell out alot of $$$ to nokia for a phone with netmonitor enabled
firmware. Older phones will still work. Screen #1 has signal strength and
#11 has all the other static site paramter information (NCC, Channel ((these
can change thought!), LAC (these can also chane!) and CID).
