Netmonitor (CDMA)

This is a program for monitoring and recording CDMA network data such as SID/NID/BID and, when available, the geographic coordinates of these transmitting sites.

Main Window

The main window shows basic information about the network:

• Operator consists of MCC (Mobile Сountry Сode), MNC (Mobile Network Code), and Operator Name
• Carrier from FCC licensing data, if available
• Сonnection type (1xRTT, CDMA, EVDO A, etc., If the phone is not connected to the network, you will see UNKNOWN)
• NID (Network Id)
• BID (Base Station Id)
• Signal Level (Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) in dBm. Numbers closer to zero are stronger - for example, -120 dBm is very weak, -80 dBm is a good signal, and -50 dBm is very strong.)
• Information about cell or your notes (if available in the database, otherwise no info)

Log window

Log window shows cells to which your phone has connected.

List item includes:

• NID
• BID
• Operator (MCC + MNC), can be enabled in settings
• Cell Geolocation Info ( - no coordinates, - coordinates came from cell transmitter, - coordinates came from imported database, - coordinates came from the Gears Geolocation API)
• Time of the last registration of the cell
• Cell Information or your notes - information about the cell will be displayed here if it is available in the database (no info if not). You may add your comments

Clicking on the item in the list, you can open a window to edit information about the cell, the changes will be stored in the database. Then, with the subsequent registration of cells, information about it will be retrieved from the database.

Map Window

If Internet is enabled in the settings and there are cells coordinates in the log window, the cell will be displayed on the map. Bid of the current cell is displayed in the green rectangle, cells, which were previously current or neighbors - red. Clicking on the cell site, more complete information will be showed.

Settings

• Choose a theme (available light and dark). Theme apply requires the closure of the program
• Show operator (MCC + MNC) in log window
• Show date in log window
• Ignore NID, while getting info from database, will marked as *:
• Type of log to write to a file (not recorded in the log file, save only the switching cells or a permanent record of information about cells)
• A possibility not to clear log window on program start
• The path to the program folder on the memory card from which to import an input file that will create the database, and where to write to a log file. The standard path is data/netmonitor, if the path is left blank, then the program folder is the root of the memory card
• Whether to use the Internet, which is used to display maps and download coordinates from the Gears Geolocation API (if no cells coordinates in a program database)
• Save cells coordinates obtained from the Gears Geolocation API, for further use (so that the next time they do not optained from the network)

Import Database Type

The program contains a SQLite database to store information about cells, its coordinates. Default type of input files to import:, data format:

MCC;SID;NID;BID;LAT;LON;INFO

Note. SID, NID and BID are decimal. Lat - latitude, Lon - longitude, Info - information about cell, which will appear in the program. Example file for import:

310;01802;2;756;45,345645;-34,456;info about cell

File must be encoded UTF-8. The file name should consist of the MCC (3 digits) and SID (5 digits) and have the extension .clf (for example, 31001802.clf).
