1. Introduction

Welcome to TEMS Pocket.

TEMS Pocket is a handheld tool for verification, maintenance, and trouble-
shooting of mobile networks as well as for basic cell planning tasks. Built into
a commercial mobile phone or tablet, TEMS Pocket collects measurements
and events and presents them on the device display. The measurements can
be stored for later analysis in other products such as TEMS Discovery Device
and TEMS Investigation.
The combination of small size and powerful testing features makes TEMS
Pocket a convenient tool for day-to-day monitoring of mobile networks,
particularly in an indoor or pedestrian scenario. In addition, since the mobile
device can function as the user’s regular phone, TEMS Pocket provides a
powerful way to find errors without explicitly searching for them.
TEMS Pocket is designed as an integral part of the device’s user interface.
This promotes continuous use by engineers and technicians, which translates
into more time for them to detect, document, and solve problems.

2.1.5. Cell Usage Statistics Data View

TEMS Pocket keeps building its collection of statistics data views, version
14.4 adding one that shows the history of cell usage for each supported
cellular technology. The current serving cell (or strongest active set member)
is always on top, and below it up to 15 other cells are ranked according to the
total time they have been used. This gives a valuable overview of the cells the
device has been interacting with during your tests.

2.1.6. HTTP Get with SSL

TEMS Pocket now supports SSL encryption not only for HTTP Post but also
for HTTP Get sessions.

2.1.7. Enhancements to Multi-device Setup

A number of additions and improvements have been made to the TEMS
Pocket controller–agent setup:
• Service-specific progress views for agents are available in the
controller.
• Scanning status views (for a scanner connected to an agent) are
available in the controller.
• The current agent is now selected from (and indicated in) the controller’s
navigation menu, where all connected agents appear.

2.2. What Was New in TEMS Pocket 14.3

2.2.1. New Device: Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900P

This is Sprint’s Galaxy S5 model with TD-LTE as well as CDMA/EV-DO
support.
• Frequency bands:1

 Chapter 2. Recently Introduced Features in TEMS Pocket

• Throughput categories:
– LTE Category 4 (150/50 Mbit/s)
– EV-DO Rel. 0, Rev. A
– CDMA 2000, cdmaOne, 1xRTT
• Real-time control capabilities:
– RAT lock (LTE, CDMA, EV-DO)
– Band lock (LTE)
• Google Android 4.4.2
• WLAN 802.11a/b/g/n/ac (2.4 and 5 GHz)
• Integrated GPS with A-GPS support
• Chipset/CPU: Qualcomm MSM8974AC, quad-core, 2.5 GHz
• Dust and water protected (IP67 rated)

2.2.2. CDMA/EV-DO RAT Lock

The Radio Access Technology lock control function was extended to CDMA
and EV-DO for the newly introduced Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900P as well
as for previously supported CDMA-capable devices:
• LG G2 VS980
• Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900V.

2.2.3. ECSFB (Enhanced CS Fallback) Support

ECSFB (“E” for “enhanced”) is the term used for CS fallback performed from
LTE to CDMA. This function is supported by the Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-
G900P device.

2.2.4. PCTel IBflex Scanning Enhancements

• GSM scanning support added: RSSI and Color Code scan methods. The
latter incorporates C/I measurement and System Information decoding.
• Presentation of IBflex scan data in data views.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 7

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

2.2.5. Statistics Data View

A new data view was created showing statistics on
• the outcome of executed service sessions: attempts, successes,
failures, and (where applicable) a performance indicator such as mean
throughput taken over all sessions;
• RAT usage, further broken down by mode (idle/connected). Any time
spent in no service is also indicated.
The statistics persist after restart of TEMS Pocket; on the other hand, they
can be reset by the user at any time.

2.2.6. Synchronization of TEMS Pocket Devices to FTP

Server
This feature allows an FTP server to be used as a central repository for
TEMS Pocket settings (including custom data views) as well as for auxiliary
data: scripts, map sets, and cell files.
TEMS Pocket devices can connect to this FTP server and download all
contents currently available. This provides an easy way to ensure that all
TEMS Pocket users always have up-to-date configuration data installed on
their devices.

2.2.7. GPS Synchronization of Controller and Agents

In a TEMS Pocket multi-device setup, the controller can share its GPS
signal (taken from the device’s built-in GPS or from an external Bluetooth
GPS) with all agents, overriding agents’ GPS data.
The point of doing that is to ensure that all devices are assigned the exact
same positions in logfiles, and also to circumvent any possible issues with
GPS reception inside the backpack holding the agents.

2.2.8. User-definable Device Equipment IDs

This was another usability improvement for the multi-device configuration.
Each TEMS Pocket device, as well as a connected external scanner, can be
assigned a unique equipment ID of the form “EQn” in logfiles. Such tagging
serves to tell devices apart when post-processing TEMS Pocket logfiles in
TEMS Investigation or TEMS Discovery Device.

 Chapter 2. Recently Introduced Features in TEMS Pocket

2.2.9. LTE Rank Indication Feedback

The “LTE Data” view in TEMS Pocket already showed actual LTE rank
indication for transmissions on the PDSCH, reflecting the number of
transmission layers used. New in version 14.3 was the presentation of the
UE’s feedback on the rank indication, advising the network on what value it
finds most suitable. This feedback is sent on the PUSCH or PUCCH.

2.2.10. LTE Cell TX Antenna Balancing

A new LTE data view “eNB TX Antenna Difference” was provided, indicating
the difference in transmit power between the TX antennas of an eNodeB.
These measurements can be used to determine in real time if a newly
deployed site has a problem with one of the TX antennas, for example:
• Feeders mistakenly swapped with another sector.
• Problem with one of the x-polarization branches.
• Feeder connector inadequately fastened (wrong torque applied?).
Compared to traditional methods of diagnosis, this feature can reduce
troubleshooting turnaround time by several days.
In the case of carrier aggregation, the TX antenna difference is plotted for
each carrier separately.

2.2.11. AICH Status Added to WCDMA RACH View

The AICH status parameter, indicating if and how transmitted RACH
preambles are acknowledged, was added to the WCDMA RACH Analysis
data view.

2.2.12. Individual Value Elements Selectable in Map

Views
As an alternative to the RAT-independent value element families, a
mechanism was added for selecting an individual value element for display
in the indoor and outdoor map views.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 9

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

2.2.13. Data Collection for iBwave Mobile Planner

From version 16.3 onward, TEMS Pocket can be harnessed as a data-
collecting tool by iBwave Mobile Planner, an in-building network planning
application. Mobile Planner can initiate a pinpointing session in TEMS
Pocket, and in the process selected RF data (a subset of regular TEMS
Pocket logfiles) is logged and reported back to Mobile Planner.

2.3.5. PCTel SeeGull IBflex for In-building Scanning

TEMS Pocket 14.2 was the first TEMS Pocket release with PCTel SeeGull
scanner connectivity. The model supported is the IBflex scanner, which is
specifically designed to ease and speed up indoor walkaround testing, being
small and lightweight and equipped with a “hot swap” battery system. It is
therefore an ideal scanning device to deploy in tandem with TEMS Pocket.
The IBflex scans all major cellular technologies; in TEMS Pocket 14.2 the
following scanning methods are supported:
• LTE signal scan
• WCDMA CPICH scan
• CDMA PN scan, EV-DO PN scan
• RSSI scan on all the above technologies
The 14.2 release supported collection of IBflex scan data and recording it in
logfiles. Scan data presentation in the TEMS Pocket user interface was
added in version 14.3; see section 2.2.4.

2.3.6. New Mechanism for Controlling Data Session

Length
Data service testing may be done in “burst” mode, where data transfer rates
are simply measured for periods of predetermined length, without the
requirement of completing any particular task. When calculating KPIs in such
a scenario, we obviously do not want to trigger a failure just because the
allotted transfer time expired. A new action setting “End session after…”
was therefore added in TEMS Pocket 14.2 alongside the existing “Maximum
duration”:
• The “End session after” setting relates strictly to the data transfer. When
this time expires, the action ends with success.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 13

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

• The “Maximum duration” setting relates to the action as a whole (including

preguard and session setup). If this duration expires, the action ends and
counts as a failure. Note that this behavior is not configurable, unlike the
situation in preceding releases.
Both of these timers are optional. “End session after” is available in FTP,
HTTP, and streaming actions.

2.3.7. Other New Features

• Support was introduced for TEMS Pocket Lite on Wi-Fi only devices.
This can be useful for running a controller on a separate low-cost tablet or
when testing on Wi-Fi is the objective.
• The controller/agent configuration was expanded to accommodate up to
seven agents.

2.3.8. Withdrawal of Sony Xperia LT25i, LT30a

Being replaced by the new Z2 D6503 phone, the older Xperia models LT25i
and LT30a were withdrawn as supplied TEMS Pocket devices. However, the
LT25i with external antenna was still available for purchase in TEMS Pocket
14.2 (and remains so in TEMS Pocket 14.4). Previously sold LT30a units can
be upgraded to TEMS Pocket 14.4, and the LT30a is therefore kept in the
present manual.

2.4. What Was New in TEMS Pocket 14.1

2.4.1. WCDMA Scanning with DRT4311B Scanner

Scanning with an external DRT4311B scanner was extended to WCDMA in
this release. CPICH pilot scans can be performed either manually or
governed by a script. The measurements are presented in newly created
WCDMA scan data views.
The strengths of this solution remain the same as for the existing LTE
scanning:
• Handled by a separate device, the scanning is independent of other
TEMS Pocket activities and can run in parallel with these.

14
 Chapter 2. Recently Introduced Features in TEMS Pocket

• The scanner is lightweight with low power consumption, thus excellently

portable and resource-efficient and ideally suited for in-building
measurement.
• The scanner can be stowed in the Small Backpack, connected via USB
to a TEMS Pocket phone which in turn communicates via Bluetooth with a
TEMS Pocket Controller device.

2.4.2. New Action for Logfile Recording Start/Stop

Prior to the 14.1 release, whether or not to record the execution of a script in
logfiles was a property set for the script as a whole. In TEMS Pocket 14.1 this
property was removed, and instead it became possible to turn logfile
recording on and off at any point in a script. This is done with a “Logfile
Recording” action, which can also affix user-defined tags to logfiles for
purposes of categorization.
The reworked handling allows recording of multiple actions, or even an entire
script execution, in the same logfile.
As a convenient means to preserve the old TEMS Pocket behavior if desired,
an option was added to the general script settings which automatically
encloses each measurement action within Logfile Recording “start” and
Logfile Recording “stop” actions.

2.4.3. Custom Logfile Naming

A more elaborate logfile naming scheme was introduced as an option for
indoor pinpointing. You can predefine a set of logfile prefixes, and then pick
one of these at recording time for use in logfile names. You can also add
further elements to the logfile name: a string representing yourself as user,
and the GUID contained in the indoor map set.

2.5. What Was New in TEMS Pocket 14.0

2.5.1. New Device: Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9506

This phone is similar to S4 GT-I9505 (which remains as a supported TEMS
Pocket device) but is in a higher LTE category (4) with a maximum downlink
throughput of 150 Mbit/s.

This is a VoLTE-capable device which in TEMS Pocket 14.0 replaced LG
Lucid 2 VS870 as a device with that capability. The Galaxy Note 3 phone
operates on LTE and CDMA/EV-DO networks and was the first TEMS Pocket
device running Android 4.3.

2.5.4. Presentation of SIP Messages

As an aid to VoLTE call analysis, a new data view was provided listing SIP
messages. It is similar in layout to the existing Layer 3 message view and lets
you view full plain-text decoding of these messages, with highlighting of
syntax elements to ease reading.
You can freeze the view to scroll through and study the SIP message flow at
your leisure.

2.5.5. New License Handling: Global License Server

The Global License Server (GLS) solution for license management,
previously in place for TEMS Investigation and TEMS Discovery Device, was
adopted for TEMS Pocket as well.
As a TEMS Pocket customer, you will mainly use GLS to manage license
options purchased at additional cost (POLQA, SSL, etc.). The fundamental
TEMS Pocket licenses are preinstalled on the device. To install your premium
license options, you log in to GLS through a Web interface and map the
appropriate add-ons to your device.
GLS gives you a bird’s-eye view of where all licenses in your pool of
purchased items are allocated. Further, it allows you to easily and securely
move licenses from one device to another to optimize their utilization.
A couple of aspects of the licensing as such also changed in TEMS Pocket
14.0:
• Indoor testing no longer requires a separate license option; it is included
in the Professional and Premium packages.
• The Controller option is no longer included in the Professional package
but is optional there. On the other hand, the Controller add-on can be
transferred between devices in GLS, as described above.

2.5.6. LTE “EARFCN/PCI Lock” Control Function

This function locks the Samsung S4 GT-I9506 to one Physical layer Cell
Identity on one LTE EARFCN. It is implemented in the TEMS Capability
Control app used in conjunction with TEMS Pocket. The function needs to be

18
 Chapter 2. Recently Introduced Features in TEMS Pocket

combined with a RAT lock to LTE in order to take effect. On the other hand,
no reboot of the device is required.

2.5.7. WCDMA “UARFCN Lock” and “Disable

Handover” Control Functions
These functions too are enhancements of the Samsung S4 GT-I9506 control
capabilities. Activated from the TEMS Capability Control app, the first function
locks the phone to a specified WCDMA UARFCN, while the second disables
all kinds of handover in a WCDMA network (thus in effect keeping the
phone locked to the scrambling code it is using). No RAT lock or device
reboot is needed for either function.

2.5.8. Refined Call Event Handling; CS Fallback Events

The generation of voice call events was thoroughly reworked and
streamlined, with trigger conditions brought into the closest possible
agreement with TEMS Investigation.
In the process, new predefined events were set up for circuit-switched
fallback transferring VoLTE calls away from LTE, whether to WCDMA/GSM
or to CDMA.

2.5.9. Improved Data View Navigation

The top-level screen with shortcuts to data view categories was replaced by a
drawer-style navigation menu accessed from a new button on the action
bar. When opened, the navigation menu pushes the data view to the right;
after you make a selection, the menu is hidden again and the data view slides
back into place.
Another navigation change is that vertical swiping between data view
categories was disabled. To select a different data view category, you simply
pick it from the navigation menu. A key reason for this change is to allow
making individual views scrollable so that they can hold more contents (in
future versions of TEMS Pocket).
On tablets, where screen real estate is not such a major concern, the existing
design with permanently visible navigation icons on the left was retained. This
was however changed in TEMS Pocket 14.3.

2.5.10. Withdrawal of Subset of TEMS Pocket 13.x

Devices
The new Samsung S4 and Note 3 phones replaced all of the following older
TEMS Pocket devices:
• Samsung Galaxy Note II SCH-I605, SGH-I317
• Samsung Galaxy S III GT-I9305, SCH-R530M, SGH-I747, SPH-L710
• HTC One XL X325S
• LG Lucid 2 VS870 (succeeded by other devices as VoLTE-capable
device)

2.6. What Was New in TEMS Pocket 13.3

2.6.1. Multi-device TEMS Pocket: Controller/Agents

With TEMS Pocket 13.3 we launched a multi-device measurement setup
where one “controller” device (preferably a tablet) controls the actions of a set
of “agent” devices. A tailor-made backpack solution has been designed for
carrying the agents – up to seven of these, optionally including a DRT
scanner. The communication between controller and agents takes place over
Bluetooth.
The point of this setup is to let you operate a whole battery of TEMS Pocket
devices through a single interface. On the controller device you can start
and stop scripts on the agents, and monitor the progress and status of each
agent. You can position measurement data for all agents at once by
pinpointing in the controller Indoor Map view.

2.6.2. YouTube Testing

You can test download and replay of YouTube video clips in TEMS Pocket.
from version 13.3 onward. A freshly created action manages this task,
presenting the footage in a special “free-floating” view nailed to the
foreground.
A host of value elements report on the performance of the HTTP streaming,
and a specially designed progress view keeps you updated on the unfolding
of the YouTube session.

 Chapter 2. Recently Introduced Features in TEMS Pocket

2.6.3. LTE RACH Analysis Data View

A data view was added displaying parameters and data related to RACH
signaling and paging in LTE. It is similar to existing RACH views for
WCDMA and GSM and indicates, among other things:
• Reason for RACH signaling, type of RACH procedure.
• Preamble settings such as initial Tx Power, power ramping step size, and
maximum number of preambles; during preamble transmission, Tx Power
for current preamble.
• Outcome of RACH procedure.

2.6.4. Customizable Logfile Storage Location

If a device has multiple storage media available, for example, if it has an
external memory card inserted in addition to its built-in memory, you can
select where to store TEMS Pocket logfiles.

2.6.5. Caching of Cell Identities

Cell identities are reported rather infrequently from the network, and only for
serving cells. A cell caching function added in TEMS Pocket 13.3 makes the
presentation of cell identities more comprehensive by storing all cells that
the device comes across, so that when the same cell reappears later on, its
identity can be displayed immediately. This function operates in both LTE,
WCDMA, and GSM networks.

2.6.6. Selective Wi-Fi Scanning

Wi-Fi scanning consumes considerable resources and will detract noticeably
from the performance of Wi-Fi data transfer if performed continually. TEMS
Pocket 13.3 therefore introduced a function which allows you to turn off
TEMS Pocket-induced Wi-Fi scanning while data is being transferred over a
Wi-Fi connection.

2.6.7. Customizable Value Element Display Formats

The presentation of value elements such as cell identities and LAC/RAC/TAC
can be switched between decimal and hexadecimal. In some cases,

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 21

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

additional and data-specific presentation formats are available, such as LTE

PCI split into Group ID and Phy ID.

2.6.8. Dynamic Naming of Files Uploaded via FTP

When testing FTP upload, you can have each transferred file named
dynamically and uniquely instead of using an unchanging static name.
Dynamic file names are composed of the current date and time concatenated
with the device serial number.

2.6.9. SIM-free/Flight Mode Start-up of TEMS Pocket

It is possible to start TEMS Pocket 13.3 without a SIM being present, or
while the device is in flight mode. This allows you to record a logfile with the
initial attach procedure that occurs when disabling flight mode and going into
normal mode of operation.

3. Product Packages and

Licensing

3.1. TEMS Pocket 14.4 Product Packages

TEMS Pocket 14.4 is available in a variety of packages:
• The Professional package encompasses the full set of product features,
and it is the package covered in this User’s Manual.
• The Standard package does not include logfile recording or indoor
pinpointing, nor can it be combined with the scanning options. In other
respects, the Standard package is identical with Professional.
• The Remote package converts TEMS Pocket into an autonomous probe,
which is controlled by the Fleet Manager. See chapter 23.
• The Premium package consists of the Professional and Remote
packages combined into one.

3.2. TEMS Pocket Lite

TEMS Pocket also exists in a variety called TEMS Pocket Lite. TEMS Pocket
Lite differs from the regular TEMS Pocket in that it collects less detailed
measurements: specifically, basic RF and data measurements available from
the smartphone operating system (Android). On the other hand, TEMS
Pocket Lite can be installed on any Ascom-approved and tested Android
device.
TEMS Pocket Lite is covered in a separate User’s Manual; please refer to this
document for further information on TEMS Pocket Lite.

3.3. Multi-device TEMS Pocket

Several TEMS Pocket devices can interact in a multi-device configuration
where a controller device remote-controls the actions of a set of agents.

24
 Chapter 3. Product Packages and Licensing

How to set up and operate a multi-device configuration is covered in

chapter 24.

3.4. License Options in TEMS Pocket

A number of functions in TEMS Pocket require special license options to be
enabled in the application. These are purchased separately.
If you have purchased one or more of the license options listed in
section 3.4.1, you need to activate them on your TEMS Pocket device. How
to go about this is the topic of section 3.4.2.
If you have not purchased any of these license options, no action is needed,
and you can skip this section. Licenses for the various TEMS Pocket product
packages (see section 3.1) are pre-installed on the device as ordered, and do
not require activation by the user.

3.4.1. List of License Options

Special license options are required for the following TEMS Pocket functions:
• Testing using a secure connection through SSL. The SSL license option
is under embargo restrictions and can only be sold to certain countries.
• Scanning of mobile networks using an external scanner. Separate
options are provided for:
– DRT scanner
– PCTel scanner.
• Multi-device configuration with controller and agents. More specifically, it
is the controller device that requires the license option.
• Audio quality measurement (AQM) with POLQA. The following applies:
– In the one-way mobile-to-mobile AQM setup (section 14.2.3), the
calling TEMS Pocket device must have a POLQA license, but no
license is required for the receiving device. However, if you want the
devices to be able to switch roles, so that either device can originate
the calls, then both devices must have a POLQA license.
– In the two-way mobile-to-mobile AQM setup (section 14.2.4), both
devices must have a POLQA license.
– In the mobile-to-fixed AQM setup (section 14.2.5), the TEMS Pocket
device must have a POLQA license, and the CallGenerator must have
a POLQA and CS voice license.

3.4.2. Procedure for Activating Licenses

• Start the TEMS License app on the phone.
• Look up the Host id in this app:

You now need to log in to Ascom’s GLS web interface. It is preferable to do

this on a PC. Ascom will have sent a welcome email to the person in your
organization named as email contact, containing a link to this web page. We
are assuming for now that you are going to activate the licenses yourself
(alternatively, it might be done for you by the GLS admin in your
organization).
• Click the link provided in the welcome email. It will take you to a login
page.
• Click the Password Finder link at the bottom of the page.
• Enter your email address and press Submit.
• You will now receive another email. In that email, click the text that reads
“this link”.
• Enter your email address and password as instructed on the web page.
Note that the email address must be entered in lowercase.

You are taken to a page titled Download Central Home.

• On this web page, in the navigation column under Device Management,

click Search Devices.

26
 Chapter 3. Product Packages and Licensing

• In the list of devices, find the device ID that represents your TEMS Pocket
device by entering the Host id from the TEMS License app in the Device
ID search field. It is usually sufficient to enter the last few digits of the
string, preceded by a wild card, like this: “*1234”. Click the device ID link
once you have located it.
At the bottom of the View Device screen, all license options (“add-ons”) that
are pre-installed by Ascom on your device are listed.
• To activate the special license options on your device, you need to map
the corresponding add-ons to it. Click the Map Add-Ons link beneath the
list of installed options.

The Map Add-Ons screen appears, displaying an overview of the pool of

TEMS Pocket add-ons at your organization’s disposal. However, only add-
ons that are applicable to the selected device are listed. For reasons of
space, only selected columns of the table are shown below.

The Available Units in Line Item column shows the number of licenses
currently available, out of the total purchased, which is given in the Total
Units in Line Item column.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 27

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

The Maximum Add-On Units Allowed on Device column tells how many
license options of a given type can be activated simultaneously on the same
device. This number is one for all TEMS Pocket add-ons.
What you need to do here is to map the add-ons you have purchased.
• For each add-on, enter a “1” in the Units to Configure column. Then click
the Map Add-Ons button. The status of each add-on changes to “License
not generated”.
• When you are done mapping add-ons, return to the TEMS License app
and tap the Update licenses item there.

The status of the add-ons in the GLS web interface will now change to
“License generated”, and the TEMS License app will display all the licenses
that are now installed on the device.
You are now ready to start using TEMS Pocket with all features you have a
license for.

3.4.2.1. Alternative Activation Procedure

There is an alternative way to activate special license options.
In the GLS web interface, on the Map Add-Ons screen, the Activation Code
column holds an alphanumeric string for each add-on:

You can activate a license option by noting down this code, entering it in the
TEMS License app under Enter activation code, and then tapping Update
licenses. This may be useful if on some occasion you need to activate a
license option when unable to access the GLS web interface.

 Chapter 3. Product Packages and Licensing

3.5. Deactivating/Returning Licenses

To uninstall a TEMS Pocket license from your device and return it to the pool
of available licenses, proceed as in section 3.4.2, but on the View Device
screen, click the Remove Add-Ons link instead. The table from the Map
Add-Ons screen reappears here, and you can remove licenses selectively as
desired.

3.6. Downloading TEMS Pocket Software

TEMS Pocket devices are delivered with TEMS Pocket software already
installed. However, if this software is uninstalled for some reason, or if you are
going to upgrade to a higher TEMS Pocket version, you download the
software from the GLS web interface. This is done as follows.
• Log in to the GLS web interface as described in section 3.4.2.
• In the navigation column under Entitlements, click Product List.
• In the list of products, click TEMS Pocket.
• On the Product Information screen, click the TEMS Pocket installer you
want to download.

• On the Product Download screen, click the download link for the TEMS

3.7. License File on Sony Phones

This section is unrelated to the license options and GLS user interface
discussed in sections 3.4–3.5 and applies to the Sony Xperia phones only.
On Sony Xperia phones, a TEMS Pocket license file resides on the internal
memory card. The file is named TEMS_v1.lic and stored in the root.
For other devices, the internal memory card is unrelated to license handling.

4. Overview of TEMS Pocket

4.1. Prerequisites for Running TEMS Pocket

4.1.1. SIM/CSIM Card

For all TEMS Pocket functions except Wi-Fi scanning and data transfer, the
TEMS Pocket device must have a SIM or CSIM card installed. The
application will start up even if no SIM/CSIM card is present, and some data
(for example, on detected network cells) may appear in the user interface, but
of course no mobile network related services can be used in this situation.

4.2. Launching the TEMS Pocket Application

• Launch TEMS Pocket by tapping the TEMS Pocket icon in the
device’s application launcher.

This screen appears while TEMS Pocket is

starting up.

 Chapter 4. Overview of TEMS Pocket

4.3. TEMS Pocket User Interface

4.3.1. Initial View

Once TEMS Pocket has initialized, it will
display the cell list data view for the radio
access technology the device is connected to.
Everything about the data views is covered in
chapter 5.

4.3.2. Action Bar

At the top of the screen, immediately below the Android status bar, is an
action bar with a number of buttons. The set of buttons that appears is in part
context-dependent.
From here you can select what data view to show, inspect various other
categories of data, and perform all of the actions and configuration tasks
referred to in the whole of section 4.3.

4.3.3. Data View Header

In the topmost part of the data view is always shown a set of general data
related to the cellular technology currently in use, as well as a column of
icons reflecting the current status of TEMS Pocket.

4.3.6. Scripts
TEMS Pocket offers the use of scripts for automated testing of various
services. See chapter 9.

4.3.7. Events
When you run a script in TEMS Pocket, events are generated pertaining to
radio (Layer 3 signaling), device operation, script progress, and more. See
chapter 6.

4.3.8. Logfiles
You can record data collected by TEMS Pocket in logfiles and replay these
files in TEMS Pocket itself or load them in TEMS Investigation or TEMS
Discovery Device. See chapter 10.

4.3.9. Cell Files

You can import a cell file into TEMS Pocket in order to display cells by name
(rather than by CGI) in data views as well as in the Outdoor Map view. See
chapter 12.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 35

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

4.3.10. Control Functions

TEMS Pocket as implemented on some of the supported devices has a
number of control functions modifying the device’s behavior in the cellular
network. These include locking the device to a RAT, band, cell, or channel.
See chapter 13 for full details.

4.3.11. GPS Positioning

TEMS Pocket supports positioning of data in logfiles using either the device’s
built-in GPS or an external GPS. See chapter 18.

4.3.12. Tablet User Interface

TEMS Pocket as implemented on tablets has the same functionality (in
general terms) as the mobile phone based TEMS Pocket applications.
However, to make good use of the larger screen, the tablet user interface is
organized differently in some respects. Please turn to chapter 22 for details.

4.4. TEMS Pocket File Storage Locations

Please note that the file system referred to in this section cannot be browsed
through the TEMS Pocket user interface (nor from the device’s standard user
interface; a third-party Android app is required). Naturally you can always
view the directory structure by connecting the device to a PC.

4.4.1. Logfiles
TEMS Pocket logfiles can be stored either on the internal memory card of the
device (called “/phone” below; the designation varies between vendors) or on
an external memory card, if the device has one inserted. The choice is made
in the Settings menu; see section 19.2.1.
Internal storage locations are as follows.
• TEMS Pocket Professional, regular Local work mode: /phone/pocket/
logfiles/ (*.pcap files with IP capture data are also stored here)
• Remote: /phone/pocket/logfiles/remote
• Agent: /phone/pocket/logfiles/

36
 Chapter 4. Overview of TEMS Pocket

The path to an external memory card is likewise vendor-dependent; here are

some examples:
• Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9506: /mnt/extSdCard
• Sony Xperia T LT30a: /ext_card

4.4.2. Other Files

Other TEMS Pocket related files are always stored on the internal memory
card, in the following locations:
• Cell files: /phone/pocket/private/cellfiles/
• Custom views: /phone/pocket/views/ (files named view_<n>.custom,
where <n> = 01, 02, ...)
• Email attachments: /phone/pocket/private/attachments/
• Exported settings: /phone/pocket/exportsettings/ (*.pes; *.pocket)
• Indoor map sets: /phone/pocket/private/mapsets/ (*.ibwc)
– In Agent work mode, map sets are stored in /phone/pocket/private/
mapsets/agents
• Logfile prefix type definitions file: /phone/pocket/private/ (*.cfg)
• Routes: /phone/pocket/private/waypoints/
• Screenshots: /phone/pocket/screenshots/ (when saved separately and
not in a logfile)
• Scripts: /phone/pocket/private/scripts/
• SSL certificates: /phone/pocket/private/certificates/

4.5. Language Support

The TEMS Pocket 14.4 devices support languages as follows:
• Regular device user interface: Same as in the commercial device release.
• TEMS Pocket user interface
– Text display: English
– User input: English

Note: There is no support for inputting non-ASCII characters. When

entering text strings, only use characters from the ASCII set.

4.6. General Advice on Using TEMS Pocket

See also Ascom’s statement on mobile test probes in appendix A.

4.6.1. Configuring Device Settings

The names of options and their positions in the menu system may vary
between Android versions; representative examples are given below.
• For the device’s internal GPS to be available to TEMS Pocket, it must be
enabled in the device: Settings  More  Location services  Use
GPS satellites. This setting does not have any bearing on an external
GPS.
• If the device is to connect to an external scanner via Bluetooth, the
Bluetooth function must be activated in the device: Settings 
Connections  Bluetooth.
• Make sure that data traffic is enabled: Under Settings  Connections
 More networks  Mobile networks, the Mobile data checkbox must
be checked.
• You may need to enable data roaming. This is done under Settings 
Connections  More networks  Mobile networks, by checking the
Data roaming checkbox.
• When you connect a TEMS Pocket device running Android 4.2.2 or later
to the PC, a dialog titled “Allow USB debugging?” will pop up on the
device screen. Check the box Always allow from this computer, and
tap OK.

38
 Chapter 4. Overview of TEMS Pocket

4.6.2. Battery Charging Considerations

Running several tasks in parallel on a TEMS Pocket device places a heavy
load on the device battery. It may in fact happen that the battery charger
cannot keep up with the power consumption, so that the battery eventually
will be drained even if the charger is connected all the time. This situation
may arise for example if the device is more or less constantly running one
service or another while at the same time having its display fully lit.
When engaging the device in highly power-consuming tasks, you should
always use the regular charger supplied with the device. Charging the device
via the USB cable will often be vastly insufficient when running TEMS Pocket.

4.6.3. TEMS Pocket vs. TEMS Investigation

When a device possesses licenses for both TEMS Pocket and TEMS
Investigation, the two applications cannot coexist on the device. This means
that:
• If the TEMS Pocket device is connected to a PC and you start TEMS
Investigation on that PC, the TEMS Pocket application will shut down.
• If you connect your TEMS Pocket device to a PC where TEMS
Investigation is running, you cannot start the TEMS Pocket application.

4.7. Exiting TEMS Pocket

You exit the TEMS Pocket application by tapping the Overflow button
and then tapping Exit.

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

5. Data Views

5.1. General Data View Properties

The presentation in data views combines textual and graphical elements.
Many data views in TEMS Pocket are RAT-specific; there exist, for example,
separate cell list data views for each supported RAT. Which views can appear
is of course dependent on the range of technologies supported by the device;
which view is shown at a given instant is governed by the RAT the device is
currently using. The switching between views is automatic.
Whenever a parameter is currently not valid, this is indicated in the data view
by a dash “–”.
In all graphs containing a legend, you can tap anywhere in the graph to hide
the legend. Tap once more to make the legend visible again. When you swipe
to a graph view, the legend is always visible, even if you have previously
hidden it.

5.2. The Screenshot Capture Function

You can take screenshots of the data views using the built-in screen capture
function. Whenever you use this function, snapshots are taken of all data
views as well as the currently shown data view header.
Tap the Screenshot button on the action bar twice in rapid succession.
After the first tap, the button turns blue; after the second tap, the device
vibrates briefly, and the screenshots are taken.
Screenshots are transparent, that is, they do not include the on-screen
“spider web” background. This is in order to minimize the size of the image
files.
Screenshot image files are named according to the pattern yyyy-mm-
dd_hh.mm.ss_<data view category><sequence no.>_screenshot.png, for
example 2014-08-16_17.55.32_Data1_screenshot.png.
If you take screenshots while a logfile is being recorded, you can opt to save
the screenshots in the logfile (*.trp) along with its other contents. You are

40
 Chapter 5. Data Views

asked on each occasion whether to do that or save the images in the

screenshot folder (see section 4.4.2).

5.3. Other Data View Actions

In some data views you can perform an action relating to a piece of data
shown in the view. For example, in data views listing cells, you can lock on
one of the cells.
Specifics on data view actions are found in the relevant sections of chapter 5.

5.4. Survey of Data Views

The data views are divided into the categories found in the navigation menu.
To expose this menu:
Tap the Menu button on the action bar. (Alternatively, you can tap the
Back button instead.)

The indicator along the left-hand edge of the

navigation menu shows what category the
currently visible view belongs to.
• Select an item from the navigation menu to
go to that data view category. The data
view displayed will be the one last shown in
that category. If the category has not been
visited before, the first view in it will be
shown.
• To hide the navigation menu without
making a selection, tap the Menu or Back
button once more, or tap in the data view.
(Other gestures in data views are disabled
while the navigation menu is being shown.)

On entering a data view, you can browse the data views within the same
category by swiping left and right. The array of indicators along the top edge
of the data view show the position of the current view in the category,
counting only views that belong to the cellular technology the device is
currently using. There is no wraparound when browsing through data views in
a category.

Note: PDP context data is not reported on a regular basis, but only in
connection with PS attach. Since the device performs this attach
at power-on whenever possible, it will already have taken place
when TEMS Pocket is launched, and the above data view will
then not display any information. However, one way to elicit PDP
context data in this view is to switch the device to flight mode and
then back.

5.15.1. Service Sessions/RAT Usage Data View

Service Sessions part
Here are shown statistics on scripted service
sessions for a subset of the services supported
in TEMS Pocket.
Type: Type of service.
Attempt: Number of attempted sessions.
Success: Number of successfully completed
sessions.
Failure: Number of failed sessions.
Fail. rate: Percentage of sessions that failed,
equal to (Failure / Attempt × 100) rounded off
to the nearest integer.
RAT usage shown as Average:
percentage of total in this
screenshot. For the header, • FTP, HTTP, email, YouTube: Average
see sections 5.5.2–5.5.5. application-level throughput during the
sessions.
• Ping: Average round-trip delay.
• Voice: Not applicable.
After one session, the value might not be
identical to that reported in the service session
“end” event; this is due to differences in the
methods of computation (handling of fractions
of seconds). Usually, the values are very close.

RAT Usage part

This part shows statistics on the device’s RAT
usage. For each RAT is shown the following:
Total: Total time spent using this RAT.
Idle: Time spent in idle mode.
Connected: Time spent in connected/
dedicated mode.
See also below. An additional row is provided
for the “No service” state (total time only).
Only RATs supported by the device when
running TEMS Pocket appear in the table.
Exception: In Controller mode, where this view
is shown for the current agent, all technologies
appear (GSM, WCDMA, LTE, CDMA, EV-DO).
Tap the table to switch between absolute
values (time in the format “hh:mm:ss”) and
percentages.

To reset all metrics in this view:

Tap the Actions button and select Reset
Statistics.
The view is not reset when TEMS Pocket is
restarted.

5.15.1.1. Details on Idle and Connected Mode Statistics

The concept of “connected mode” also covers GSM dedicated mode and is
necessarily not quite homogeneous across all of the supported technologies.
The table that follows indicates how idle and connected mode are defined for
the purposes of this data view, based on the values of suitable value
elements:

RAT State Value Element Idle Connected

1. In state CELL_FACH, a data service session is assumed to be running,

which is a slight simplification.

If TEMS Pocket is unable to determine the mode with certainty for some time
segment, that time is not assigned to either mode, so that the sum of Idle and
Connected will then not add up to the total.

 Chapter 5. Data Views

5.15.2. Cell Usage Data View

This view shows statistics on cell usage. The
current serving cell or strongest cell in the
active set always appears on top, while other
cells are ranked according to the total time they
have been used. The list is scrollable and can
hold up to 16 cells.
Separate statistics are maintained for each
RAT supported by the device when running
TEMS Pocket. In Controller mode, where this
view is shown for the current agent, all of GSM,
WCDMA, LTE, CDMA, and EV-DO appear. To
switch the view to a different RAT, click the
corresponding button at the bottom of the view.
For each cell, the following data is given:
For the header, see sections
Cell column: Channel and code (e.g.
5.5.2–5.5.5.
UARFCN:SC for WCDMA); cell identity (not
shown for CDMA/EV-DO).
Time column: Time spent on this cell
(“hh:mm:ss”); also expressed in percent of the
total.
Third column: Highest and lowest signal
strength measured, e.g. RSCP (dBm) for
WCDMA.
Fourth column: Highest and lowest signal
quality measured, e.g. Ec/N0 (dB) for WCDMA.

For cells that are not uniquely identified (for

example, if the SC is obtained but not the
UARFCN), only the Time column is populated,
and the remaining columns are invalid.

6. Events

TEMS Pocket displays events to indicate a variety of occurrences that are

worthy of note. A large number of events are predefined; you can also define
custom events of your own.
Events in TEMS Pocket 14.4 subdivide into the following categories:
• Radio events
• Session events (also includes logfile recording events)
• System events (related to device operation)
• Custom events

6.1. Event Log

To view events that have occurred, tap the Settings button and select
Event Log.

Events are listed in chronological order with

the most recent event on top.
To view details of an event, tap it in the event
log. The log item is then expanded to also
display event parameters: see the “FTP Start”
event in the screenshot.
You refresh the event log manually as
described in section 6.1.1. There is no
automatic refresh.
The event log can hold a maximum of 500
events. After this number has been reached,
the oldest event drops out of the log whenever
a new event occurs.

The event log is cleared automatically every time you start TEMS Pocket. You
can also clear the event log manually at any time: see section 6.1.2.

6.1.1. Refreshing the Event Log

To refresh the event log, tap the Overflow button and select Refresh
log.

6.1.2. Clearing the Event Log

To clear the event log, tap the Overflow button and select Clear log.

6.2. Presentation Options for Events (and Layer 3

Messages)
Besides being listed in the event log, events can be presented in a number of
other ways. This is configured in the Event Configuration menu.
The same range of additional presentation options are in fact also available
for Layer 3 messages (that is, besides listing them in the Layer 3 Messages
data view).
Tap the Settings button and select Event Configuration.

• Navigate the hierarchy of events and Layer 3 messages to locate the

individual item or group of items you want to change settings for. The
following options exist:

Show in list: List occurrences of this event/

message in the event log/in the Layer 3
Messages data view.
Show in map: Plot this event along routes in
map views. For events to appear in a map
view, the “Events” layer must be selected for
displaying there: see sections 7.5 and 8.6.
Show in charts: Indicate this event in data
view line charts.
Play sound: Play an audio alert when this
event occurs.
Show toast: Briefly display a notification
(“toast” in Android parlance) at the bottom of
the screen when this event occurs.

6.2.1. Presentation in Map Views

A mnemonic is displayed as a framed text label pointing to the route marker
where the event or message occurred. The example below shows a Layer 3
message belonging to the RR category.

6.2.2. Presentation in Data View Line Charts

A horizontal line in the chart, accompanied by a descriptive text label below
the x-axis, indicates the precise time when an event or message occurred.

6.2.3. Presentation by Audio Alerts

Events and messages can also be announced by means of spoken audio
alerts. Speech synthesis is used to produce this audio.

6.2.4. Presentation in Notification Boxes

Finally, events and messages can be presented as notifications (“toasts”)
appearing briefly at the bottom of the screen.

6.4. Custom Events

Besides the predefined events, you can create your own custom-made
events which are based on TEMS Pocket value elements satisfying given
conditions. Such conditions can be combined into complex boolean
expressions.

6.4.1. Creating Custom Events

To create a custom event:
Tap the Settings button and select Custom Event Editor.

Tap the Overflow button and select Add custom event.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 137

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

• Under Name, enter a name for the custom

event.
• Then tap Edit expression to define the
event’s trigger condition.

You now enter a graphical interface where you

build the boolean expression for the event.
At the outset, a solitary red bar is displayed.
The bar represents a condition of the form
“<value element> <relational operator>
<value>”, for example “LTE RSSI < –90 [dBm]”.
The red color means that the condition has not
been defined yet. Proceed as follows:
• Tap the bar. Its color changes to green,
meaning that it is currently selected for
editing. At the top of the screen, a toolbar of
buttons appears.
To define this condition, tap the Edit
button. A pop-up dialog appears which is
gone through in section 6.4.1.1 below.

138
 Chapter 6. Events

6.4.1.1. Defining a Value Element Condition

This dialog contains four fields.

Field 1: Select the value element to which the
condition should apply.
Field 2: Select a relational operator, one of:
<, <=, >, >=, =, or !=. For text-format and
enumerable value elements, only = and != are
available.
Field 3: Enter the value to which the value
Numerical value element
element should be compared.
Field 4: Enter a hysteresis value. This
parameter applies to conditions involving one
of the operators <, <=, >, or >=. When taken
into account, the hysteresis has the following
effect:
• After an expression x > y or x >= y has
evaluated to true, it will be considered false
Text-format value element until after the following has been true at
some point: x < y – Hyst.
• After an expression x < y or x <= y has
evaluated to true, it will be considered false
until after the following has been true at
some point: x > y + Hyst.
See also below as well as section 6.4.2.

Enumerable value element

The hysteresis mechanism can be described more informally as follows,

considering the simple case where the custom event trigger consists of a
single “x > y” condition:
• When the value element goes above the threshold, the event is triggered
once at that time.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 139

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

• If the value element stays above the threshold, or is fluctuating around it

at no great distance, no more events are generated.
• Event generation is re-enabled only when the value element drops
sufficiently far below the threshold, as specified by the hysteresis
parameter.
The function of the hysteresis is to introduce a degree of inertia into the event
generation, avoiding a profusion of events (“ping-pong” effect) in case of
rapidly fluctuating measurement values.
See the diagram below for an illustration.

Event trigger condition: ve > thr with hysteresis Hyst

ve

thr
thr – Hyst

no more events time

event event re- event
triggered enabled triggered
once once

In more complex event trigger expressions, like the ones created in section
6.4.1.2, the application of the hysteresis is somewhat less straightforward.
Section 6.4.2 discusses this issue further.

• When you are done defining the value

element condition, tap OK to commit your
settings. The bar in the graphical interface
is then labeled with the condition just
specified.

140
 Chapter 6. Events

6.4.1.2. Creating Complex Boolean Expressions

A single value element condition like the one set up in section 6.4.1.1 is a
perfectly valid custom event in its own right. However, it is also possible to
build more complex event triggers in the form of boolean expressions
involving multiple conditions. The supported boolean operators are AND and
OR.
To expand a condition C1 into a boolean expression of the form (C1
<boolean operator> C2), where C2 is another condition, select the
condition C1 and tap the Make sub button.

The boolean operator is by default set to AND,

and the new condition (red) is appended below
the existing one.
If you nest boolean expressions, the operator
at the next level will default to OR, the third to
AND, etc., automatically building the
alternating pattern of a boolean expression that
contains no redundancy. (However, if you edit
an operator later on, other operators in the
event expression will not adjust automatically
in any way.)

To change an operator, tap it, then tap

Edit and make a new selection.
Proceed to define the new condition just as in
section 6.4.1.1.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 141

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

To add one more condition to an AND or

OR subexpression, tap any constituent
part of that expression (the operator or
one of the conditions), and then tap the
Add button. The new condition is always
put at the bottom.

By repeatedly applying the Add and Make sub operations you can assemble
any AND/OR expressions you like, up to a maximum depth of five nested
boolean operators. Wherever the maximum depth has been reached, the
Make sub button is grayed out.
Below is an example of a composite event expression:

Stated informally, we want to trigger this event

if the device is on either LTE or WCDMA, and
the signal quality and the throughput are both
“too low”; but only if this occurs before 6 p.m.

142
 Chapter 6. Events

It is worth noting that if you like, you can construct the entire logical structure
first, and then proceed to fill in the conditions:

In this screenshot we have begun defining the

event trigger by setting up the same boolean
expression as in the previous example. What
remains is to enter a value element condition in
each of the red fields.

6.4.1.3. Deleting Parts of an Event Expression

To delete an element from an event
expression, tap that element, and then
tap the Delete button. You are prompted
to confirm the delete.
Deleting a condition removes that condition
from the expression. See the screenshot for an
example.
Deleting an operator also deletes the entire
subexpression belonging to that operator.
You are warned about this.
Performing a delete may cause TEMS Pocket
to simplify the expression that remains (always
leaving its logical structure intact). See section
6.4.1.4.

6.4.1.4. Automatic Simplification of Event Expressions

If editing the event expression results in one or more boolean operators
becoming redundant, the expression will be automatically simplified to
eliminate the redundancy. Examples follow.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 143

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

Simplification After Editing an Operator

In this expression, the OR is changed to an
AND. As a result, this boolean operator
building block becomes superfluous in the
graphical representation, since C1 AND (C2
AND C3) = C1 AND C2 AND C3.

When you tap the Back button to leave the

expression editor, a message informs you that
the expression contains redundancy. You can
then choose either to minimize the expression
or to discard your changes.
If you choose Minimize, the simplified
expression that results is flattened, with the
two AND levels collapsed into one.

 Chapter 6. Events

Simplification After Deleting a Condition or Operator

Suppose that you delete the WCDMA condition
selected (green) in the top screenshot. The OR
subexpression is then left with a single
operand and has become redundant. It is
therefore removed along with the WCDMA
condition (bottom screenshot). This is done
automatically by TEMS Pocket, without any
prompt appearing.

In this last example, if you delete the AND operator instead, the whole AND
subexpression will go away. Moreover, once again the OR will lose one of its
operands, so the OR will be removed as well. Only a lone WCDMA condition
will remain in this case.

6.4.1.5. Deleting the Entire Event Expression

To delete everything from the graphical event expression editor,
deselect any part of the event expression that is currently selected by
tapping it, then tap Delete.

6.4.2. Properties and Custom Events and Their

Evaluation

6.4.2.1. Unconstrained Trigger Semantics

No validation or “sanity check” of custom event expressions is performed by
TEMS Pocket. It is possible to create expressions that will never evaluate to
true. You need to take care to compose expressions that make sense and
trigger the event as you intended.

6.4.2.2. Triggering Rules for Boolean Expressions

After a composite event expression has evaluated to true and triggered its
event, the event will not be triggered again until the expression has turned
false and then true once more. Note carefully that this applies to the
expression as a whole; for example, if a composite expression has an OR at

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 145

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

the top level and has just evaluated to true, its event triggering will not be re-
enabled until after both members of the OR expression have been false at the
same time at some point.

Event trigger condition: C = C1 OR C2 true

6.4.2.3. Effect of Hystereses on Trigger Evaluation

In a boolean expression containing several value element conditions, each
hysteresis is strictly local in scope and applies only to the condition for which
it is defined. However, whether or not the hystereses will be taken into
account at all depends on the evaluation result for the expression as a whole.
The following rules are applied:
• As long as the total expression is false, all hystereses are disregarded
and do not affect the evaluation of their respective conditions.
• When the total expression becomes true, all conditions that are logically
true at this point have their hystereses enabled, so that they do count in
evaluating the conditions. Each hysteresis remains enabled until the
hysteresis criterion is satisfied at some point (x < y – Hyst or the
equivalent thereof). After this has occurred, that particular hysteresis is
disabled (independently of all other hystereses).
• The above process begins anew after the total expression has toggled to
false and then back to true again.

As will be obvious from the above, the evaluation of a complex expression

with many hystereses may be hard to follow and may yield unexpected
results. It may therefore be wise to limit the number of hystereses used.

146
 Chapter 6. Events

6.4.3. Presentation of Custom Events

The same range of presentation options exists for custom events as for
predefined events. See section 6.2.
In the event log, a custom event takes as parameters the value element or
elements that caused the event expression to become true, and their values
at that time. Below is an example.

6.4.4. Removing Custom Events

To remove a custom event:
• Select the event in the Custom Events list.
Tap the Overflow button and select Remove.

To remove all custom events:

Tap the Settings button and select Custom Event Editor.

Tap the Overflow button and select Remove all.

6.5. Exporting and Importing Event (and Layer 3

Message) Settings
You can export the current presentation settings (covered in section 6.2) for
events and Layer 3 messages. The export also includes the definitions of any
custom events currently defined (see section 6.4).
The export always encompasses all events and messages; it cannot be done
selectively.
When TEMS Pocket is upgraded, a settings export is done automatically
before the old version is uninstalled. After installation of the new version, the
settings are imported back into the application.

 Chapter 7. The Indoor Map View

7. The Indoor Map View

The Indoor Map function enables import of maps and positioning of

measurements in indoor locations and other places where GPS coverage is
lacking. The positioning is done by pinpointing the test route in the Indoor
Map view on a georeferenced floor plan or other map image. Please note that
the map image must be geographically positioned (i.e. must have an
accompanying TAB file) if it is to be used in TEMS Discovery Device or TEMS
Investigation later on.
TEMS Pocket map sets are created in *.ibwc format, which is the container
format used in the iBwave Design indoor radio planning software tool.

7.1. Creating and Configuring Map Sets

This section describes how to create *.ibwc map sets within TEMS Pocket.
Alternatively, existing map sets can be used. As regards file transfer, note
especially the possibility of downloading map sets from an FTP server: see
chapter 20.

7.1.1. Map Set Structure

A map set covers a number of buildings, each of which contains a collection
of maps. Below is a hierarchical diagram showing the map set structure.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 149

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

7.1.2. Obtaining Map Images

First you need to obtain images of the environment that is going to be
covered during measurement. For example, use the device’s camera to
photograph the emergency or evacuation plan for the relevant floor(s) of the
building. The best image quality is obtained if the camera is set in black-and-
white mode. Also avoid using the flash. If you are using an image from a
different source, it must be in JPEG, PNG, or BMP format.

7.1.3. Creating a New Map Set

Tap the Settings button and select Map Editor.

Tap the Overflow button and select New Map Set.

• Tap Name and enter a name for the new map set.

Now for each building to be covered by the map set, do the following:
• Tap Buildings.
Tap the Overflow button and select Add Building.

• Tap Name and enter a name for the building.

• Then tap Maps.
Tap the Overflow button and select Add Indoor Map.

• You are now invited to pick an image to use as a map. Select your floor
plans or other background images that you want to use. The selected
image files are added to the map set. A map set can contain up to 99
images.

Map sets are saved in the iBwave container format (extension .ibwc). These
files are self-contained and can easily be transferred to other devices. Map
sets are saved to the directory specified in section 4.4.2.
It is also possible to store a logfile (*.trp) containing a map set in the map set
directory, and then load it into the Indoor Map view just like a map set
(*.ibwc), as described in section 7.2.

7.1.4. Specifying Map Set Properties

You can set some position properties and other metadata for the map set.

150
 Chapter 7. The Indoor Map View

If you are not already in the Map Editor:

Tap the Settings button and select Map Editor.

A list of the map sets you have already created appears.

• Tap the map set you want to define

properties for.

• Here you can edit the map set name by

tapping it.
• The map set file name also appears,
identical with the Name string plus the
extension .ibwc.
• Tap Buildings to access a list of the
buildings defined in the map set.

• Tap an individual building to access its

constituent parts (maps).

• You can edit the building name by

tapping it.
• Tap Maps to access a list of the maps
defined for this building.
• Then tap an individual map to access its
properties.
The map properties are as follows:

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 151

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

• Name: Name assigned to the map.

• Image file: Name of the map image file.
• Tab file: TAB file associated with the map
image. A TAB file residing in the same
directory as the map image and identically
named will appear automatically in this
field. Section 4.4 gives the path to the map
set directory. Regarding geodetic datum
and reference points in TAB files, see
section 7.1.4.1. An example TAB file is
given in appendix G.
A TAB file must be present if the map image is
going to be loaded in TEMS Discovery Device
or TEMS Investigation later on. Unpositioned
images in BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, or TIF format
can be georeferenced using the ImagePosi-
tioning utility.
• Route files: Planned routes associated
with this map image, if any. See section
7.3.5. Tap this field to select from a list of
available route files. Note that several route
files can be associated with the same map.
• Height: Height above sea level of the floor
depicted in the map image.

7.1.4.1. Requirements on TAB Files

The geodetic datum in TAB files must be WGS84, represented by the value
104. Other datums are not supported.
Reference points in TAB files must be at least three in number and must not
lie in a straight line. For best accuracy, the points should be distributed in
such a way that they span as large an area as possible. Choosing points that
are near-collinear or very close together may introduce a large source of error
in the positioning. To achieve accurate positioning of measurements, it is of
course also essential that the mapping between pixel coordinates and
latitude/longitude values in the TAB file be carefully done.

152
 Chapter 7. The Indoor Map View

7.1.5. Managing Maps in a Map Set

If you tap and hold a map in a map set, a menu with the choices Move up,
Move down, and Delete appears.
• Use the move commands to move the map one step up or down in the
map set.
• Use the Delete command to delete this map from the map set.

7.2. Loading a Map Set into the Indoor Map View

At the outset the Indoor Map view is empty. A grid is drawn in the view when
no map set is loaded.
Here is how to load a map set into the Indoor Map view:
Tap the Actions button and select Load Map Set.

• Select the desired map set and tap Load. The map set now loads in the
Indoor Map view.
If the map set contains several images, the first
is shown. If there are several buildings in the
map set, the whole map set structure is
flattened into a single sequence of maps when
viewed here.
You flip through the maps by tapping the
arrows that appear in the top left and right
corners of the Indoor Map view. The map
sequence wraps around after you browse to
the first or last map. The position indicator
beneath the map name indicates the position
of the currently displayed map in the (flattened)
map set sequence.

When the Indoor Map view is zoomed in

(Scale > 1.0), any dragging action results in
panning the currently visible map. When the
view is zoomed out (Scale = 1.0), swiping right
will take you to the next view in the Location
group, i.e. the Outdoor Map view (section
5.11.2), and swiping up or down will take you to
a different data view group.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 153

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

7.3. Pinpointing Your Test Route

7.3.1. Fundamentals of Pinpointing

You can perform pinpointing in either of two ways:
• Manually, marking waypoints freely on the map. See section 7.3.4.
• According to a predetermined planned route. See section 7.3.5.
Your route will be recorded in a logfile. Logfile recording starts automatically
when you start pinpointing and is ended when you stop pinpointing.

7.3.2. Coexistence with Other TEMS Pocket Functions

• While a script is running, pinpointing is disabled. You must stop the script
first. (On the other hand, you can start a script while the pinpointing
function is active; however, the logfile recording normally triggered by the
script is then suppressed. Only the pinpointing function will produce a
logfile in this case.)
• While you are recording a logfile manually, pinpointing is disabled.
• While pinpointing is active, you cannot swap maps; that is, you cannot
move from one image in the map set to another.

7.3.3. Plotting Route Markers with Value Elements

You can optionally have markers plotted along your route which are color-
coded according to a selected piece of RF data or a throughput rate (“value
element”). The route markers constitute a separate map layer which can be
shown or hidden; see section 7.5.
The color coding of the markers is the same as that used for the value
element in data views. The range of colors employed is shown in the map
legend (see section 7.4); a complete listing of value element color ranges is
given in appendix B.
What you select for map plotting is either a single value element or a family of
value elements. The latter contains one element for each radio access
technology, all denoting the same fundamental quantity such as “signal
strength”. As the TEMS Pocket device switches between technologies, the
map presentation automatically follows suit, always showing the value
element that belongs to the currently used technology.

154
 Chapter 7. The Indoor Map View

The feature is customized as follows:

Tap the Actions button and select Select Value Element.

• A list appears with a number of value

element families plus an item Advanced
for selecting a single value element. Pick
what you want to show; selecting
Advanced calls up a new list holding all
plottable value elements, from which you
pick one.
• Tap Select.

By default, the Signal Strength value element

Value element families family is plotted. Full explanations of what
these designations mean for each technology
are given in appendix C.
From now on, all pinpointed routes will be
traced by dot-shaped markers whose color
encodes the appropriate value element as
measured at each point. Refer to the map
legend for an explanation of the color coding
(again, see section 7.4).
Advanced: Individual value If you want to plot a different value element or
elements value element family, simply make a new
selection as described above. Note, however,
that if you do this in the middle of pinpointing a
route, the value element markers already
plotted will be erased.

The waypoints that you mark on the map are always indicated by pin symbols
colored blue, and the straight-line segments connecting them are drawn in
black. Neither of these colors is affected by the Select Value Element
command.
Route markers are plotted also during logfile replay (covered in section 10.6).

7.3.4. Manual Pinpointing

Tap the Quick Access button and select Start Pinpoint.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 155

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

If you have enabled logfile prefixes, a prefix selection dialog appears at this
point; see section 19.2.3.

• Pan the map to position the crosshairs

correctly. It may also be helpful to use the
zoom function; pinch and spread to zoom
the map image in and out. Alternatively,
you can double-tap to zoom out to normal.
The current magnification is indicated
numerically in the top right corner.
• Tap Add pinpoint to place a waypoint at
the spot marked by the crosshairs. The
waypoint is marked by a pin symbol and
labeled with a sequence number.

• Pan the map to position it for the next

waypoint, then tap Add pinpoint again. A
new pin is drawn and joined to the previous
one by a connecting line.
Route markers are drawn along each route
segment as soon as it has been completed,
that is, when you mark a new waypoint ending
the segment. For the setup, see section 7.3.3.
A maximum of 10 route markers are drawn
between two waypoints.

• Continue pinpointing at regular intervals

along the route, and whenever you change
direction. If you stop along the way,
pinpoint when you stop and again when
you resume your walk.

156
 Chapter 7. The Indoor Map View

• If you want to undo a pinpointing action, tap

the relevant pin. The pin turns red, and the
map is re-centered around it. Confirm by
tapping Delete pinpoint at the top of the
view. Connecting lines are redrawn and the
numbering is adjusted automatically.
• To cancel the delete action, just tap the pin
once more. Its color then reverts to blue.

When you have completed your route:

Tap the Quick Access button and select Stop Pinpoint.

After you stop pinpointing, a TEMS Pocket logfile with extension .trp is
created and stored in the location stated in section 4.4.2.
Logfiles can be replayed in TEMS Pocket itself, as detailed in section 10.6.
You can also transfer the logfiles to a PC and open them in TEMS
Investigation or TEMS Discovery Device.

7.3.5. Pinpointing According to Planned Route

7.3.5.1. Creating Planned Routes

Here is how to design planned routes in TEMS Pocket.
If you are not already in the Map Editor:
Tap the Settings button and select Map Editor.

• Load the map set you are going to use, if it is not loaded already.
• Navigate to the map on which you want to trace the route.
• Tap the map’s Route files property. (Compare section 7.1.4.)
Now tap the Overflow button and select Create route file.

• Enter a name for the route file.

• A dialog appears with the message “Save all mapset changes and start
route editor?”. Tap Yes.
The user interface now switches to the Indoor Map view, and you proceed to
create your planned route by placing waypoints exactly as when doing
manual pinpointing (see section 7.3.4). The only difference consists in how
the task is concluded:

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 157

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

When you have completed your route, tap the Actions button and
select Save Route Changes.
The new route is now stored with the map as a file with extension .ppf.
(Selecting Discard Route Changes instead will discard all the route
waypoints that you have just defined. The route itself remains, but it will
contain no waypoints.)
• The new route appears in the list of route files associated with the map.

7.3.5.2. Loading a Planned Route and Using It for Pinpointing

• Load the map set containing the planning route.
Tap the Actions button and select Load Route.

• Select the desired route file from the list that appears, and tap Load.

Pinpointing Procedure

Regardless of which method you used to load

your planned route, the route is drawn in dark
red on the map. Waypoints are marked by pin
symbols.
To pinpoint according to this route, do as
follows:
• Go to the physical location marked by the
first waypoint (highlighted in red).
Tap the Quick Access button and select
Start Pinpoint.
If you have enabled logfile prefixes, a prefix
selection dialog appears at this point; see
section 19.2.3.

• A panel with three buttons appears, and the

map is centered around the first waypoint.
Tap the Commit button to indicate that you
are currently in that location.
• Tap Next to proceed to the next waypoint.
The highlighting in red then switches to that
waypoint, and the map is re-centered
around it.

158
 Chapter 7. The Indoor Map View

• Walk in a straight line and at a steady pace

towards the spot marked by the highlighted
waypoint. When you have reached it, tap
Commit. The route segment just
completed is retraced in black.

• Continue in this fashion until you have

finished the route.

(It is possible to move backwards along the

route by tapping the Previous button.)

When you have completed the route:

Tap the Quick Access button and select Stop Pinpoint.

You can unload the route file as follows:

Tap the Actions button and select Unload Route.

The route is removed from the Indoor Map view.

7.4. Indoor Map Legend

In the top left corner of the Indoor Map view a
legend appears, showing:
• The value element being plotted and its
current value.
• An explanation of the color coding used for
this value element. This is tabulated for all
selectable value elements in appendix B.
The legend can be hidden; see section 7.5.

7.5. Showing and Hiding Indoor Map Layers

You can turn the visibility on and off for various map layers individually.
Tap the Actions button and select Select Map Layers.

• Map: Google Maps imagery.

• Pinpoints: Routes made up of pin symbols
and connecting lines.
• Value trails: Route markers encoding a

 Chapter 8. The Outdoor Map View

8. The Outdoor Map View

The Outdoor Map view is intended for outdoor drive testing with access to
GPS coverage. The view uses Google Maps imagery in the form of roadmaps
and/or satellite images.
Routes can be plotted in live mode as well as in replay mode.
When a cell file is loaded, cell sites can be displayed from that file, and cells
currently being used can be pointed out.
In live mode, for obvious reasons, all plotting that relates to the device’s
current position is possible only when GPS data is available.

8.1. Supported Google Maps Content

The map content supported is limited to the basics, and most options found in
Google Maps are disabled. For example, Street View is not supported. You
can however switch between map types, as described in section 8.7.4.

8.2. Plotting Your Route on the Outdoor Map

The device’s current position is always marked by a white dot.
Along your test route, you can leave a trail of markers whose color encodes a
piece of RF data or a throughput rate. Whether or not to show the route
marker map layer is set as described in section 8.6.
As in the Indoor Map view, you select a either a single value element or a
family of similar value elements that spans all supported technologies. In the
latter case, TEMS Pocket automatically picks the value element that matches
the technology currently in use. To make this selection:
Tap the Actions button and select Select Value Element.

The same value elements are selectable as in the Indoor Map view. See
appendix C, and compare what is said in section 7.3.3. By default, the Signal
Strength value element family is plotted.

Up to 10,000 route markers can be plotted in the Outdoor Map view.

To clear all route markers from the Outdoor Map view:
Tap the Actions button and select Clear History.

8.3. Displaying Events on the Outdoor Map

Events are displayed in the Outdoor Map view as text labels pointing to a
route marker. See section 6.2.1.

8.4. Displaying Cell Sites on the Outdoor Map

Cell sites can be displayed in the Outdoor Map view according to a cell file
that you have loaded into TEMS Pocket. See chapter 12.
Each cell of a site is visualized as a cyan-colored sector extending from the
site’s position and covering an angle that corresponds to the cell beam width
as indicated in the cell file. The innermost part of a site is drawn in black to
indicate the site position more distinctly.
Cells are marked with a letter representing the radio access technology:
G = GSM, W = WCDMA, L = LTE, C = CDMA.

When the TEMS Pocket device has an active network connection, a line is
drawn from the device’s current position to the serving cell or to each cell in
the active set. An extension of the cell sector, reaching out to the device’s
position, is drawn as an overlay in a semi-transparent yellow color. The radii
of the sector are further extended by means of dashed lines all the way out to
the edge of the map view. The purpose of these lines is to indicate the angle
within which it is reasonable for a device to be served by this cell.

162
 Chapter 8. The Outdoor Map View

A maximum of 1,000 cells (not sites, please note) will be plotted in the
Outdoor Map view. If you zoom out so far as to view an area comprising more
than 1,000 cells, all sites are replaced by small black squares in the
presentation. If the number of in-view cells exceeds 10,000, all presentation
of cells is disabled. These limits are imposed for readability and performance
reasons.

8.7. Map Controls

This section deals with the buttons located at the top of the Outdoor Map
view.

8.7.1. Follow
When the Follow function is on, the map will autopan as you
move around, so that it is always centered around your
current position. You can zoom the map by pinching and
spreading. This is the default setting.
As soon as you activate the Follow function, Panning is
automatically turned off if currently active. (Automatic
panning and manual panning obviously cannot coexist.)

When the Follow function is off, there is no automatic

panning of the map, even if the device moves out of the area
displayed. You need to pan manually using the Panning
function.

8.7.2. Panning
When this function is on, swiping actions in the map view will
pan the map. Pinching and spreading will zoom the map.
When you turn the Panning function on, Follow is
automatically turned off if currently active. Compare
section 8.7.1.

When this function is off, swiping in the map view does not
affect the map, but horizontal swiping takes you to a different
data view, as described in section 5.4. Furthermore, the map
cannot be zoomed by pinching and spreading in this state.
This is the default setting.

8.7.3. Online Mode/Offline Mode

Online Mode: Download map imagery from Google
whenever an Internet connection is available.

Offline Mode: Use cached Google Maps imagery. This

mode is useful if problems can be expected with the internet
connection in the field, or if you want to prevent map
downloads detracting from service testing performance. You
can then download Google Maps content for your testing
area by other means (for example, in advance while still in
the office), and then put the Outdoor Map view in offline
mode so that it relies on that cached content rather than a
live connection to Google Maps. Map tiles other than those
downloaded will then be black and empty apart from the
message “Sorry, we have no imagery here.”.

8.7.4. Map Type

Roadmap: Displays the default road map view.

Terrain: Displays a physical map based on terrain data.

Satellite: Displays Google Earth satellite images.

Hybrid: Displays a composite of the roadmap and satellite

views.

automatically to an FTP or HTTP server: see section 9.6.2.
You start and stop a script manually from the action bar: see section 9.9.
Scripts can also be configured to start and stop automatically when
specified events occur. When a script is executed, its actions are performed
one after another in the order they come in the script definition. Once started,
the script repeats as many times as specified in the script settings, or until it is
stopped (manually or by an event), or else indefinitely until the device’s
internal memory card fills up.

Note: Running a script for extended periods of time places a high load
on the device battery. See section 4.6.2 for advice on how to
ensure that the battery is not drained.

Script setups are stored on file, as detailed in section 4.4.2. Such files can be
transferred to other TEMS Pocket units. Scripts can be downloaded from an
FTP server using the synchronization function described in chapter 20.

9.2. Basics of Composing Scripts

To access the script editing function, tap the Settings button and select
Script Editor.

9.2.1. General Script Settings

Here you define general script settings.

Name: Enter a name for the script here.

Filename: Here is displayed the name of the
script file, identical with the string entered
under Name plus the extension .xml.
Logfile tag: Here you can define a tag that will
be added at the beginning of the logfile name.
By default, logfile names consist only of the
script name and the date and time of recording,
as described in section 10.2.
GPS positioning: Governs whether or not to
make use of the currently selected GPS (see
section 18.3) during script execution.
Configure script actions: Tap this item to edit
the list of actions the script should perform.
See sections 9.3–9.8.

script will run indefinitely. If you want to limit the
number of times the script should run, enable
this option, then tap Max iterations and enter
the desired number.
Script trigger: Set this to Enabled if you want
to start and stop the script when some
specified events occur. Tap Edit script trigger
settings to pick these events. See
section 9.2.2 for further information. Also note
that the “master” option under General settings
must be turned on to enable script triggering,
as explained in section 19.1.3.

9.3. Single-service Measurement Actions

9.3.1. “Email” Action Settings

Server: IP address or host name of the SMTP
server.
Port: The port on which the SMTP server
listens for requests.
Security:
• None: No security is applied.
• SSL: The SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)
cryptographic protocol is used throughout
the email session. Note that this requires a
special TEMS Pocket license option.
Authentication Method:
• Plain: The normal method today, specified
in  IETF RFC 4616.
• Login: SMTP AUTH login, a Microsoft
proprietary method.
Username: User name of email account.
Password: Password for email account.
Sender address: Email address of sender.
Sender name: Name of email sender.
Receiver address: Email address of recipient.
Message type: Plain text or HTML. Images in
HTML will be inlined.
Message subject: Content of email Subject
field.
Message text type:
• Custom text: String entered by user.
• Random text: String of random alphanumeric
ASCII characters generated by TEMS Pocket.

Message text: This field is enabled if Message

text type is set to “Custom text”. Enter the
email message body text here.
Random text length: This field is enabled if
Message text type is set to “Random text” and
specifies the length of the generated text.
Message attachments: You can add one or
several attachments to the email message.
Each attachment can be either a file stored on
the device (see section 4.4.2) or a randomly
generated file. In the latter case, you are
prompted for the desired file size. Note that
binary files are base 64 encoded, which means
that the volume of data actually transmitted will
be larger than the total file size of the
attachments.
Number of emails: The number of emails to
send (all identical and defined by the above
parameters). The maximum is 99.

Preguard, Postguard: Guard periods

automatically inserted before and after the
measurement task, respectively. The purpose
of the guard periods is to ensure that the
signaling setting up and taking down the
service session is recorded to the logfile and
made available for post-processing. For this
reason, they should not be set too short; the
default for both is 10 s (see appendix D.5).
Repeat action: Total number of times to
execute the action before the script proceeds to
the next action. The maximum is 99.

(continued on next page)

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 173

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

(continued)

Wi-Fi association: By setting this to Disabled,

you prevent the device from connecting to a
Wi-Fi access point (even if a Wi-Fi network is
available) and force it to run the session over a
cellular network instead. Note that the default
Android behavior is always to use Wi-Fi if it is
the best available bearer. The option provided
here eliminates the need to deactivate Wi-Fi
manually in the device’s regular settings to
achieve the same effect.

Minimum duration: If you enter a value here

(in seconds), the action will run for at least the
time specified (not counting guard periods). If
the task is completed quicker than this, TEMS
Pocket will idle until the minimum duration has
been completed, and only then will the action
end. By default this setting is disabled.
Maximum duration: If you enter a value here
(in seconds), it puts a cap on the action
duration (guard periods not included). If the
task is not completed within the maximum time
allowed, the action is terminated anyway. A
Maximum Duration Triggered event is then
generated, and the action is considered as
failed so that an error event is generated as
well.
The duration parameters are useful if you want
to keep the duration of actions (more or less)
uniform, for example in a benchmarking
scenario where all devices should execute
actions at a similar pace and thus collect a
similar total amount of data.
By default this setting is disabled.

 Chapter 9. Scripts

Advice on Email Size

Please bear in mind that most SMTP servers have an email message size
limit, typically on the order of 10 MB. Note also that for TEMS Pocket to be
able to send an email, there must be sufficient free space on the internal
memory card for the temporary file that is created in the process.

9.3.2. “FTP” Action Settings

Command: Get or Put.
Server: FTP server to download from or upload
to. The server is given as [ftp://]<host>[:<port>],
where <host> is an IPv4 address or a plain-text
string. A port number can optionally be
specified; otherwise, the default port 21 is used.
Directory: FTP server directory to read from or
write to.
File name format: (Applicable to uploads only)
• User selected: The uploaded file always
receives the same name, stated under File.
• Timestamp and Serial Number: A unique
name is generated for each uploaded file
according to the pattern
<datetime>_<device serial number>.dat,
where <datetime> = yyyymmddThhmmssZ
and the serial number is the IMEI or MEID.
File: For download, enter the file to fetch. For
upload, if File name format = User selected,
enter the static file name to use; if File name
format = Timestamp and Serial Number, the file
name is generated as described above and
cannot be edited here.
User, Password: User name and password on
the FTP server.

End session after time: If you specify a value

here, the FTP session is ended automatically
after that time. The duration is counted from the
moment the first FTP packet is received from or
sent to the server. If the session time expires,
an event with the suffix “End Session After
Time” is generated; however, the action is not
regarded as failed, and no error event is
generated.
Note that this parameter is tied to the data
transfer as such, not to the action as a whole.
The duration of the latter can be limited with the
Maximum duration parameter.
File size (kB): (Applicable to uploads only) Size
of the file to upload. This is a generated file
containing random data.
Preguard, Postguard: See section 9.3.1.

9.3.3. “HTTP” Action Settings

Command: Get or Post.
URL: URL to download from or upload to.
Please note that the HTML parser in TEMS
Pocket is a simple one. It downloads images,
but not things such as objects within iframes.
End session after time: If you specify a value
here, the HTTP session is ended automatically
after that time. The duration is counted from
the moment the first HTTP packet is received
from or sent to the server. If the session time
expires, an event with the suffix “End Session
After Time” is generated; however, the action is
not regarded as failed, and no error event is
generated.
Note that this parameter is tied to the data
transfer as such, not to the action as a whole.
The duration of the latter can be limited with
the Maximum duration parameter.
Security: None or SSL. Only applicable if a
valid security (SSL) license is available. If SSL
is selected, the HTTPS protocol is used. Root
certificates for the websites you want to test
then need to be stored under phone/pocket/
private/certificates (file extensions .der, .pem).

The parameters Authentication ... Additional

parameters are valid for HTTP Post only.
Authentication: None or Basic. The latter is
according to  IETF RFC 2617. Note that if
Basic is used without SSL (see Security), the
Password will be sent as plain text.
User: User name on the HTTP server, if
required. Only applicable if Authentication is
set to Basic.

Random text size: This field is enabled if
Message text type is set to “Random text” and
specifies the length of the generated text.
Number of SMS: The number of SMS
messages to send (all identical and defined by
the above parameters). The maximum is 99. If
more than one SMS are sent, a sequence
number is appended to each SMS (#01, #02,
etc.).
Wait for delivery report: Governs whether or
not TEMS Pocket will wait for SMS delivery
reports. This is a prerequisite for computing the
end-to-end statistics shown in the SMS
Progress data view (see section 5.10.9).
Delivery timeout: The time in seconds to wait
for a delivery report. The timer starts ticking
when the send ACK is received. If Wait for

Repeat action: Total number of times to
execute the action before the script proceeds
to the next action. The maximum is 99.
Durations: See section 9.3.1.

9.3.5.1. Technical Notes on SMS Composition, Encoding, and

Transfer
Long SMS messages (more than 160 characters) are supported, up to a
maximum of 9,999 characters. The same limit applies for both custom and
random text. Please note that Android may issue warnings about messages
shorter than this; specifics are vendor and device dependent.
TEMS Pocket prepends a five-digit internal reference number abcde to each
SMS and sometimes also tacks on a sequence number nn at the end of the
message (see Number of SMS above). The full syntax is: abcde:<message
text>#nn. In consequence, up to 9 characters of each SMS are taken up by
this tagging.
Whenever possible, the 7-bit default encoding is used. If characters outside
of that range occur, TEMS Pocket switches to a different encoding (8-bit or
UCS2). The choice of encoding cannot be controlled by the TEMS Pocket
user, except indirectly by including characters that will require 8-bit or UCS2.
Once sent, SMS messages cannot be recalled by TEMS Pocket. This means
that if you stop an SMS action, an interrupted SMS transfer may give rise to
signaling during subsequent actions and may delay their execution.
If you do not specify an SMSC in the action, a default SMSC must be set in
the device. How to do this varies from one device to another.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 181

The SMS technical specifications are found in  3GPP 23.040. Please note
that SMS is not supported for CDMA.

9.3.6. “Voice MO” Action Settings

This action is used to dial mobile-originated voice calls.

Call type: Default, CS, or VoLTE. This option

(not shown in the screenshot) appears only for
devices having VoLTE support. Regarding
requirements for VoLTE testing, see section
9.3.6.1.
Phone number: The phone number to be
dialed. Any characters available in the device
interface can be used.
Call duration: Duration of the voice call in
seconds.
Redial on dropped call: If set to Enabled, the
device will automatically redial the call if it is
dropped. A maximum of three redials are made
on each occasion; that is, if the call is
successfully redialed and then dropped again,
up to three new retries are made.
Preguard, Postguard: See section 9.3.1.
Repeat action: Total number of times to
execute the action before the script proceeds
to the next action. The maximum is 99.
Durations: See section 9.3.1.

9.3.6.1. Requirements for TEMS Pocket VoLTE Testing

• Device modem IP capture needs to be used in conjunction with VoLTE
testing if you want to record RTP packets.
• For the Samsung Note 3 SM-N900T, device modem IP capture with Max
packet size = 1500 bytes is required for SIP signaling. SIP signaling
cannot be obtained on this device without the complete IP packages.
Note, on the other hand, that this setting is ill suited to high data transfer
rates, so you should not run such tests concurrently with VoLTE testing.
See section 9.7.2 for the relevant setting.

182
 Chapter 9. Scripts

9.3.7. “Voice MT” Action Settings

This action is primarily intended to receive mobile-terminated voice calls,
during which audio quality scores are computed (by the calling device). The
calling device is controlled by an AQM action, which is covered in
section 9.3.8.
Note that this is just one of several possible AQM setups, one intended for the
“one-way” scenario just described. The full range of possible AQM configu-
rations is detailed in sections 14.2.2–14.2.5.
Audio quality measurement is supported with the subset of TEMS Pocket
devices listed in section 14.2.1. The Voice MT action as such, however, is
supported by all TEMS Pocket devices, and it can be used simply as an
“answering service” (with Audio source set to “Microphone”).

Audio source:
• Microphone: During the call, the audio is
taken from the device microphone as
normal.
• AQM sentences: During the call, the TEMS
Pocket device plays back speech
sentences designed specifically for audio
quality measurement. This option is
available only if the TEMS Pocket device is
equipped with a POLQA license. If you
attempt to run a script with this option set
on a device that does not support it, the
script will fail.
Audio path filtering: Use of device-specific
audio-enhancing functions such as noise
suppression, audio stretch, comfort noise, and
gain control. Currently, this option is always
enabled (not configurable).
Preguard, Postguard: See section 9.3.1.
Repeat action: Total number of times to
execute the action before the script proceeds
to the next action. The maximum is 99.
Durations: See section 9.3.1.

9.3.8. “AQM” Action Settings

This action handles voice calls during which audio quality measurement
(AQM) is performed. It is supported with the subset of TEMS Pocket devices
listed in section 14.2.1. Audio quality measurement can be set up in several
different ways; the full range of possible configurations is detailed in sections
14.2.2–14.2.5. In one configuration, the receiving device is controlled by a
Voice MT action, which is covered in section 9.3.7.
For the answering party in a “two-way” mobile-to-mobile AQM configuration
(see section 14.2.4), a number of settings are not valid and are ignored.
These are marked with an asterisk (*) below.
As a general rule, the answering party should have no other actions than the
AQM action running.
Call type: This option (not shown in the
screenshot) appears only for devices having
VoLTE support. Regarding requirements for
VoLTE testing, see section 9.3.6.1.
Phone number*: AQM voice calls are placed
either to another TEMS Pocket device or to a
CallGenerator. Here you enter the phone
number of the receiving party. Any characters
available in the interface of the TEMS Pocket
device can be used.
AQM mode: This refers to:
• The AQM algorithm used. The algorithm
currently supported is POLQA, which is
described briefly in section 14.1.
• The bandwidth of the transmitted speech
that is considered by that algorithm:
narrowband or super-wideband.
• The AQM measurement configuration. See
sections 14.2.2–14.2.5.
What options appear here depends on what
the device supports.
Call duration*: Duration of the AQM voice call
in seconds. The maximum is 600 s.

TEMS Pocket to measure network audio
quality in a more unbiased way, without device-
specific audio processing impacting results.
Preguard*, Postguard*: See section 9.3.1.
Repeat action: Total number of times to
execute the action before the script proceeds

Durations: See section 9.3.1.

9.3.8.1. Device-specific VoLTE Requirements

On the LG G2 VS980 and Samsung Note 3 SM-N900T, device modem IP
capture must be turned on if you want reports on packet jitter and the like.
See section 9.7.2.

9.3.9. “YouTube” Action Settings

This action downloads and replays YouTube™ video clips. It requires a
YouTube Android app (version 5.3.24 or later) to be installed on the device.

Video: YouTube video id. This identifier can be

obtained as follows:
• Internet browse to YouTube.
• Find and start watching the video of
interest.
• Inspect the address bar. The characters
after “v=” (up to the first “#” if the address
contains such optional extensions) is the
YouTube video id. It is written in boldface in
the examples that follow.

Streaming Duration: If you enter a value here,

the streaming session is ended automatically
after that time. The duration is counted from
the moment the first HTTP packet is received
from to the server. If the session time expires,
an event with the suffix “End Session After
Time” is generated; however, the action is not
regarded as failed, and no error event is
generated.
Note that this parameter is tied to the data
transfer as such, not to the action as a whole.

9.4. The “Parallel” Action

The Parallel action is used to run multiple services concurrently. You can run
one session of each of the following types: Voice MO, AQM, FTP, HTTP, Ping,
Email, SMS, and YouTube.
In the dialog, each of these service types has a
separate settings section. A checkbox governs
whether or not to include this service in the
action. Below the checkbox is an item Edit
<service type> settings, which opens a
settings dialog similar to that found in the
corresponding single-service action, except
that certain general parameters are not
present. These are instead found under
Common settings and are defined only once
for the Parallel action as a whole: Preguard,
Postguard, Repeat action, Wi-Fi
association, and the Durations settings.
Under Common settings is also found an
Abort condition parameter, which determines
Service settings (first screen
height) when the Parallel action should stop executing.
The following options are provided:
• Stop at all done: Stop only after all
services have finished (either succeeded or
failed).
• Stop at first done: Stop as soon as one
service has finished (succeeded or failed).
• Stop at first success: Stop when one
service has finished with success.
• Stop at first error: Stop when one service
has finished with error.
For details on the outcome of a Parallel action
as a function of the outcomes of the service
sessions and the chosen Abort condition
setting, see section 6.3.3.1.

9.5. The “Scan” Action

This action starts or stops scanning in a mobile network, using an external
scanner connected to the TEMS Pocket device. For an overview of scanning
with TEMS Pocket, see chapters 15 (DRT) and 16 (PCTel).

Model: Scanner model: DRT4311B or PCTel

IBflex.
Connection type:
• DRT: Only USB supported at present.
• PCTel: Bluetooth or USB. To be able to
connect via Bluetooth, the TEMS Pocket
device must have this function turned on.
Command: “Start scanning” or “Stop
scanning”.
Edit LTE settings, etc.: Tap these items to
configure scan settings for each technology.
See sections 9.5.3 (DRT) and 9.5.4 (PCTel).

To give duration to the scan, you must interpose some other action between
the “start scan” and “stop scan” actions. The simplest method is to use a Wait
action. Compare sections 15.3, 16.3.

Here a Wait is used to leave the scanning on

for 60 seconds, after which it is stopped.
If a “start scan” action is not followed by a “stop
scan” action in the script, the scanning will
continue until the script terminates.

9.5.1. Support for Concurrent Scans

Scanning can be done on multiple mobile technologies concurrently if
everything is set up in the same Scan action.
On the other hand, it is not possible to start several scans in parallel using
multiple Scan actions, each with a different set of channels chosen. If multiple

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 189

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

“start scan” actions occur in sequence with no “stop scan” in between, only
the first of these is executed, and the rest are ignored.
Scanner-specific limitations may exist as well.

9.5.2. Priority of Manual Scanning

If scanning has been started manually before the script starts, all script-
controlled scanning is inhibited, and the manual scan will continue
independently of the script.

9.5.3. DRT Scan Settings

9.5.3.1. LTE Signal Scan Settings

Scan on LTE: Check this to enable LTE signal
scanning. Doing so makes the band and
channel settings editable. If you disable this
option and later re-enable it, the channels
previously selected (if any) will reappear.
Scan type: Only signal scan is currently
supported.
FDD bands, TDD bands: Here all supported
E-UTRA bands are listed, both FDD and TDD,
identified by their numbers and frequencies.
When you tap a band, a new dialog appears:

You select the frequencies to scan by setting

up one or several continuous EARFCN ranges.
• Tap an EARFCN range to configure it.

• For each EARFCN range, specify the Start

channel and Stop channel parameters.

9.5.4. PCTel Scan Settings

The user interface for selecting bands and channels is basically the same as
for DRT; see section 9.5.3. However, the following differences must be noted:
• For LTE RSSI scan, the selection of channel ranges is subject to
bandwidth-dependent restrictions. Not all channels are available for
selection, regardless of bandwidth. Details appear in on-screen
messages.
• For LTE signal scan, channel ranges cannot be selected at all, but only
single channels. A maximum of 24 channels can be scanned on a given
band (16 if System Information decoding is turned on).
• On WCDMA, “additional channels” are available on certain bands, as
defined in 3GPP. These are listed individually at the bottom of the channel
selection dialog for the band in question, and they are selected by
checking a checkbox:

• The naming of bands is according to 3GPP by default. However, you can

switch to PCTel’s own band designations as follows:
In the Scan Settings dialog, tap the Overflow button and select Use
PCTel band names.
Tap the Overflow button once more to revert to 3GPP naming (Use
3GPP band names).

• For PCTel, certain scan parameters are also configurable under Settings.
They are covered in the subsections that follow.

 Chapter 9. Scripts

9.5.4.1. LTE Signal Scan Settings

Bandwidth: The bandwidth to scan. One of:
{1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20} MHz. Note: For LTE
signal scan, this is the default bandwidth. For
each channel selected it is possible to define a
different bandwidth, which will then override the
default. See the second screenshot.
Carrier RSSI Threshold: The measurements
on reference signals and synchronization
signals will be performed only if measured
Carrier RSSI is above this threshold.
Top N: Here you specify how many cells the
scanner should report; the value N causes the
scanner to return the N strongest cells.
Number of TX Antennas: The number of Tx
LTE signal scan settings antenna ports to measure on (multiple ports for
MIMO). The scanner is capable of detecting this
automatically (“Auto” option).
Number of RX Antennas: The number of Rx
antennas on the scanner (multiple antennas for
MIMO).
Channel-specific bandwidth Cyclic Prefix: The type of cyclic prefix used in
OFDM, e.g. “Normal 15 kHz”. The scanner is
capable of detecting this automatically (“Auto”
option).
Sync Signal Meas. Threshold: Only synchro-
nization signal measurements above this
threshold (in dBm) will be reported.
Reference Signal Meas. Threshold: Only
reference signal measurements above this
threshold (in dBm) will be reported.
System Information: Decoding of System
Information.

9.5.4.2. LTE RSSI Scan Settings

Bandwidth: The bandwidth to scan. One of:
{1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 100} MHz. Note that the
choice made here affects what channel ranges
can be selected.

9.5.4.3. WCDMA CPICH Scan Settings

Number of Pilots: To scan the N strongest
scrambling codes, enter the value N here
(N ≤ 32).
PN Threshold: This is a signal code power
threshold (in dB) used for the aggregate Ec/I0
and delay spread measurements.
If the PN threshold is set too low, the
aggregate Ec/I0 and delay spread values will
be affected by random noise more than may be
desired. By raising the threshold you reduce
the influence of random noise correlations, and
you will thus be able to discern multipath and
fading effects more accurately. A threshold
value of –20 dB is recommended.
SIR: Set to Yes for the scanner to report signal-
to-interference ratio (SIR).
System Information: Setting this to Yes
causes the scanner to decode System
Information blocks (continuously). With this
option selected, a maximum of 16 scrambling
codes can be scanned.
Measurement Mode: There are two choices,
High Speed and High Dynamic. These are two
algorithms with different priorities:
• High Dynamic puts the emphasis on
accuracy. Each sample reported by the
scanner is typically based on a
measurement 20 ms in length.
• High Speed is faster and accordingly less
accurate. Each reported sample is typically
based on a 10 ms measurement.

9.5.4.7. CDMA PN Scan Settings

Number of Pilots: To scan the N strongest
pilots, enter the value N here (N ≤ 32).
PN Threshold: This is a signal code power
threshold (in dB) used for the delay spread
measurements.
If the PN threshold is set too low, the delay
spread values will be affected by random noise
more than may be desired. By raising the
threshold you reduce the influence of random
noise correlations, and you will thus be able to
discern multipath and fading effects more
accurately. The setting –20 dB is recom-
mended.
The following measurements can be turned on
or off:
Pilot Delay: The number of chips between the
expected arrival time and the actual arrival
time of the signal.
Aggregate Ec/Io: The sum of all peak pilot
Ec/I0 values that are above the PN threshold.
Delay Spread: The number of chips between
the first and last pilot Ec/I0 peaks above the PN
threshold.

9.5.4.8. CDMA RSSI Scan Settings

Bandwidth: The bandwidth to scan. One of:
• 30 kHz: “Condensed” or CW band.
• 1.25 MHz: CDMA band.

9.5.4.9. EV-DO PN Scan Settings

Same settings as for CDMA PN scan; see section 9.5.4.7.

9.6. Logfile-related Actions

9.6.1. “Logfile Recording” Action Settings

This action is used to turn logfile recording on or off at any point in a script.
Any number of such actions can be inserted. In this way you can freely
choose how to distribute measurement actions across logfiles.
Enable recording: Tap to toggle between
“Enabled” (start recording) and “Disabled”
(stop recording).
Logfile tag: You can add an action-specific
logfile tag here, independently of the one
defined in the general script settings (see
section 9.2.1). In logfile names, the action-
specific tag comes after the general one if both
are present.

This action must be used to have any of the script execution recorded, unless
you have started manual recording before starting the script.
If several “start recording” actions occur without an intervening “stop”, all
except the first are redundant, and when saving the script you are asked
whether to remove the redundant actions. If you keep them, they are ignored
at execution time anyway. The same applies to multiple “stop recording”
actions without an intervening “start”.
If a “start recording” action is present but no “stop” follows, everything after
the “start” action (and, in subsequent script iterations, also whatever
precedes it) is recorded in a single logfile. The recording stops only when the
script terminates.

9.6.1.1. Recording Coverage Icon

At the top of the script action list, an icon indicates to what extent
measurement actions are covered by logfile recording:
All measurement actions will be recorded.

One or several measurement actions will not be recorded (at least not
during the first script iteration).
The script will produce no logfiles, because no “start recording” action
is present.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 197

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

When leaving the script action list, you will be prompted if the recording
coverage icon is red or yellow.
Examples:
Each execution of the FTP action will be
recorded in a separate logfile.

In this script, 30 seconds’ worth of scanning is

recorded in a new logfile in each iteration. (The
scanning is turned on once and then left
running; it is turned off only when the script
terminates.)

The HTTP action will be recorded (in a

separate logfile on each occasion), but the
SMS action will not be.

198
 Chapter 9. Scripts

9.6.1.2. Quick Setup of Logfile Recording

You can click the logfile coverage icon in order to quickly set up logfile
recording for the entire script, in any of a number of ways. The following
dialog appears:
One logfile per execution: The entire script
execution (all script iterations) will be recorded
in a single logfile. – “Start recording” is inserted
first in the script; no “stop recording” is used.
One logfile per iteration: Each iteration of the
script is recorded in a new logfile. – “Start
recording” is inserted first in the script; “stop
recording” is inserted last.
One logfile per meas. action: Each
measurement action is recorded in a logfile of
its own. – Each measurement action is
encapsulated by a preceding “start recording”
and a following “stop recording”. (After a lone
Scan action, no “stop recording” is added.)
No logfile recording: No measurement
actions are recorded. – The script will contain
no Logfile Recording actions. (This option is
helpful if you want to start over defining the
recording setup and insert Logfile Recording
actions manually.)

Regardless of the option chosen, any

previously added recording actions are first
removed.

9.6.1.3. Priority of Manual Recording

If a logfile is being recorded manually when the script starts, all script-
controlled logfile recording is inhibited.

9.6.2. “Logfile Upload” Action Settings

Logfiles can be uploaded via either FTP or HTTP(S). This is governed by the
Type setting. Whenever this action executes, TEMS Pocket tries to upload
logfiles as specified by the Logfiles to send parameter, and then deletes all
files successfully uploaded. However, no more than 500 logfiles will be
uploaded at a time. If there are files left after this action terminates, they will
be taken care of the next time a Logfile Upload action is executed.

9.6.2.1. General Settings

Type: FTP or HTTP.
Wi-Fi association: See section 9.3.1. Note that
you can use this flag to divert logfile uploads to
a different bearer from that used for testing.
Logfiles to send: This setting is related to the
concept of TEMS Pocket sessions; see
chapter 11. The following options exist:
• All non-session logfiles: Only logfiles not
recorded during a TEMS Pocket session
(i.e. stored directly under phone/pocket/
logfiles) will be uploaded. Compare
section 4.4.1.
• Session logfiles: Only logfiles recorded
during a TEMS Pocket session (i.e. stored
in a subdirectory (phone/pocket/logfiles/
sessions/<session name>) will be uploaded.
• All logfiles: Both session and non-session
logfiles will be uploaded.
• Latest session: Only logfiles from the latest
TEMS Pocket session (if one exists) will be
uploaded.
Send file list: If enabled, then before the actual
logfiles, one text file is sent for each session,
listing the logfiles to be uploaded. These files
are named “<session name>.nnn”, where nnn
is the number of logfiles (e.g. “003”, “123”).
Note: If an error occurs or the upload is
aborted, these files are not updated later on to
reflect what files were actually uploaded.

User, Password: User name and password on
the FTP server, if required.

9.6.2.3. Logfile Upload via HTTP(S)

Upload path: Path to an upload script in an
HTTP server directory. This script (*.php) takes
care of the uploaded logfiles, e.g.

entered without the protocol prefix “http://” or
“https://” since the Security parameter controls
which protocol is used.
Method: Only POST available.  IETF RFC 2616
Security: None or SSL. Only applicable if a

9.7. Other Script Actions

9.7.1. “Control Function” Action Settings

The settings for this action are exactly the
same as when applying control functions
manually, as described in chapter 13 (which
see).
Note that a Control Function action always sets
all control functions anew. (There is no “as-is”
option that leaves a particular previous setting
unchanged.)
During script execution, the settings specified
by a Control Function action remain in force
until the next time a Control Function action is
executed, or else until the script terminates.

9.7.2. “IP Capture” Action Settings

The IP Capture action enables or disables packet capture. Note that this
action does not by itself start logfile recording; rather, that must be initiated in
one of the ways mentioned in section 10.1. Note also that a PCAP file is
created only in connection with TRP logfile recording; it is not possible to
record PCAP files independently.

Note: For packet data to be captured on file (whether TRP logfiles or

PCAP files), the IP Capture action must precede the Logfile
Recording action in the script.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 203

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

• Add to TRP file: If checked, packet

capture data from the Android IP stack is
saved to a regular TEMS Pocket logfile
(*.trp) alongside other data logged to that
file.
• Add to PCAP file: If checked, packet
capture data from the Android IP stack is
saved to a PCAP file, which can be read for
example by Wireshark. The PCAP file is
named identically to the TRP logfile (as
described in section 10.2), except that the
extension is replaced by .pcap. PCAP files
are stored in the same directory as TRP
logfiles: see section 4.4.2.
• Add modem IP capture to TRP file: (Valid
only for VoLTE-capable devices) If
checked, packet capture data from the
device modem is saved to a TEMS Pocket
logfile (*.trp) along with other content. This
data cannot be saved to a PCAP file. See
also section 9.7.2.1.
• Max packet size (bytes): The maximum
number of bytes of each packet that will be
captured. Any further bytes in the packet
will be truncated. Note: This setting does
not apply to device modem IP data, for
which the number of bytes logged is fixed.

9.7.2.1. Notes on Device Modem IP Capture

This option is valid only for devices with VoLTE capability.
Device modem IP data is obtained only when the modem is in use, that is,
when running data services over a mobile network (as opposed to Wi-Fi).
The IP data obtained from the device modem is mostly equivalent to that
captured from the Android IP stack. VoLTE, however, is an exception, since
the IMS client (unlike clients for other data services) is built into the modem.
For this reason, VoLTE can be run over the device modem only, and IP data
for this service does not propagate to the Android IP stack. Therefore you
must capture device modem IP data to provide RTP packet input to the

204
 Chapter 9. Scripts

computation of VoLTE KPIs during post-processing, whether using TEMS

Discovery Device or some other tool.
On the other hand, device modem IP capture is not suitable for high
throughput tests since it affects the performance of the device.

9.7.2.2. IP Capture Requirements for KPI Data Collection

If you use the IP capture action to collect input to KPIs (computed in post-
processing), you must set the Max packet size parameter high enough to
catch the relevant data. The precise number of bytes required varies
depending on the data service and protocol used; as a rule of thumb,
150 bytes will usually be sufficient.
Be aware in this connection that the IP capture generates a processing load
directly proportional to the number of bytes captured as well as to the network
throughput rate. In consequence, the performance of TEMS Pocket may be
substantially affected, and at very high loads the application will become
extremely unresponsive. Turning off the option Add modem IP capture to
TRP file will greatly alleviate such performance issues.

9.7.3. “Wait” Action Settings

You can use the Wait action to insert a guard
time between other actions, or to give duration
to a task such as mobile network scanning
(start scan  Wait  stop scan). The Wait
action itself does nothing in particular.
Wait duration: The length of time (in seconds)
the device should wait.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 205

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

9.7.4. “Wi-Fi” Action Settings

Wi-Fi: If checked, the script will turn on the
device’s Wi-Fi function. Note that this does not
by itself cause any Wi-Fi scanning to be
performed.
Scan for cells: Check this to allow the script to
perform Wi-Fi scanning while Wi-Fi is idle, that
is, when no data transfer is in progress over
this bearer. Restricting scanning in this way
ensures that Wi-Fi throughput performance will
not be affected.
Scan during measurement: This option
becomes available if Scan for cells is turned
on and lets you allow or inhibit script-initiated
Wi-Fi scanning while data is being transferred
over Wi-Fi. You may not want to do any
scanning in that situation, since it consumes a
non-trivial amount of resources and will to
some extent reduce the achievable throughput.
Note: Even if this option is turned off, Android
will still perform Wi-Fi scanning whenever it
sees fit, so that the device always uses the
best available access point. Only Wi-Fi
scanning initiated by the TEMS Pocket script is
suppressed.

The Wi-Fi and Scan for cells options correspond to the manual command
Turn On Wi-Fi with its associated option Scan for Wi-Fi Cells. See
chapter 17.
To give duration to Wi-Fi scanning, you must interpose some other action
between the “enable” and “disable” actions. See section 17.1 for further
instructions.
The output from Wi-Fi scanning is presented in the data views described in
sections 5.12.1 and 5.12.2.
For clarity, it may be remarked that this action is unrelated to the Wi-Fi
association setting in data service actions (about which see section 9.3.1).

9.8. Editing a Script

9.8.1. The Assembled Script

Once you are done setting up an action, simply tap the Back button to
return to the list of actions in the script.

In this list the new action appears below those

previously defined. Here is an example where
multiple actions have been set up, each
measurement action being recorded in a
separate logfile. The addition “(3)” after “HTTP
action” means that this action will be executed
three times back-to-back (Repeat action
parameter, see section 9.3.3).
You can add one more action to the script by
again tapping the Overflow button, selecting
New Action, and proceeding as described
above.

9.8.2. Rearranging and Deleting Actions in a Script

• To move an action one step upward or
downward in the script, long-press the
action in the list of actions and select Move
up or Move down from the menu that pops
up.
• To delete an action from a script, long-
press the action and select Delete.
You can also delete an action while editing it,
by tapping the Overflow button and selecting
Delete.

9.8.3. Controlling Logfile Recording

To modify the logfile recording setup in the script, insert, move or delete
Logfile Recording actions as appropriate (see section 9.6.1), or click the
Recording Coverage icon to apply one of the quick setups described in
section 9.6.1.2.

9.9. Starting and Stopping a Script

To start a script:
Tap the Quick Access button and select
Start Script.
• Select the desired script from the list that
appears and tap Start.

Once started, the script will keep running until one of the following things
happens:
• The number of turns specified in the general script settings have been
completed (see section 9.2.1).
• The script is stopped manually as described below.
• The script is stopped by the occurrence of an event that has been
selected as “stop” trigger (again, see section 9.2.1).
• The internal memory card is full, the device battery is drained, or some
other device-related issue prevents the script from continuing.
The Test Status data views detail the outcome of the script execution: see
section 5.10. Statistics on scripted sessions are presented in the Statistics
data views: see section 5.15.
To stop a script that is running, do as follows:
Tap the Quick Access button and select Stop Script.

9.10. Deleting Scripts

To delete a script:
Tap the Settings button and select
Script Editor.
• Tap the script you want to delete.
Tap the Overflow button and select
Delete.

Note: When you delete a script, the script file is permanently removed
from the device’s file system.

9.11. Conversion of Logfile Handling in Older

Scripts
Script-controlled logfile recording was handled differently in TEMS Pocket
versions prior to 14.1, and the Logfile Recording action type did not exist.
Logfile recording was either enabled or disabled for the script execution as a
whole, and each action was recorded in a separate logfile (or in some cases
several files).
If you open a script composed in the old format in the Script Editor, a dialog
titled “Script conversion required” will appear.
If logfile recording is enabled in the script, it
will be converted by the insertion of a “start
recording” action before each measurement
action and a “stop recording” action after
each such action. In this way the behavior of
the script is preserved.

If you run an old-format script without having opened it in the Script Editor, the
script will likewise execute in the same way as before.

10. Logfiles

10.1. Logfiles in TEMS Pocket: Overview

TEMS Pocket can record its measurements in logfiles, containing the same
richness of detail as logfiles recorded with TEMS Automatic/TEMS
Symphony test probes or with devices connected to TEMS Investigation. The
same TRP format is used as in these other TEMS products.
Logfiles are stored on the device’s internal memory card, or alternatively on
an external memory card (see section 4.4.1), as regular files in the device file
system.
You can record logfiles manually in the following ways:
• By giving the Start Logfile Recording command. See section 10.3.
• In connection with pinpointing in the Indoor Map view. See section 7.3.
You can also have logfiles recorded automatically during execution of
scripts. See section 9.6.1.
Regarding logfile naming, see section 10.2.
You can insert filemarks into a logfile that is being recorded: See
section 10.5.
TEMS Pocket has a logfile replay function, described in section 10.6. You
can also study TEMS Pocket logfiles by transferring them to a PC and
opening them in other TEMS products, listed in section 10.7.
TEMS Pocket is capable of uploading logfiles over the cellular network to an
FTP or HTTP server, using the built-in FTP or HTTP client. This is
implemented as a special script action: see section 9.6.2. It is of course also
possible to transfer logfiles via USB or Bluetooth, or to send them as
attachments to email.1

1. The latter methods require installation of a third-party Android app, since

TEMS Pocket logfiles are not visible in the device’s standard user
interface; see section 4.4.

210
 Chapter 10. Logfiles

10.2. Logfile Naming Format

TEMS Pocket logfile names always end with a timestamp of the format
yyyymmddThhmmssZ, indicating at what time the recording started.
In scripted recording, logfile names can optionally be extended with a script
tag (see section 9.2.1) and/or a Logfile Recording action tag (see
section 9.6.1). The full logfile name syntax then becomes:
<script tag>_<Logfile Recording action tag}_<timestamp>.trp
When doing indoor pinpointing, you can add special prefixes to logfile
names. See sections 19.2.2–19.2.3.

10.3. Recording Logfiles Manually

You can initiate recording of a logfile manually, without running a script.
(Logfile recording in connection with pinpointing is covered in section 7.3.)
To start manual logfile recording:
Tap the Quick Access button and select Start Logfile Recording.

A dialog with recording options appears.

Enable GPS: Check in order to record GPS
positions in the TRP logfile. Note that for this to
be possible, the device must have its built-in
GPS enabled in the regular device settings (as
remarked in section 4.6.1) or an external GPS
connected.
Enable modem IP capture to TRP: Check in
order to capture IP data from the device
modem in the TRP logfile. This option is visible
only on VoLTE-capable TEMS Pocket devices.
Enable IP capture to TRP: Check in order to
capture packet data from the Android IP stack
in the TRP logfile.
Enable IP capture to PCAP: Check in order to
capture packet data from the Android IP stack
in a PCAP file (which will receive the same file
name as the TRP logfile but with extension
.pcap).
Max packet size: The maximum number of
bytes of each packet that will be captured.
Note: This setting does not apply to device
modem IP data, for which the number of bytes
logged is fixed.

The IP capture settings are the same as in the IP Capture script action and
are described in more detail in section 9.7.2.
• Tap Apply. The logfile recording now starts.
The logfile is stored in the usual location as described in section 4.4.1.

To stop the recording:

Tap the Quick Access button and select Stop Logfile Recording.

10.3.1. Limitations of Manual Logfile Recording

You can only record one logfile manually at a time.
You cannot start manual logfile recording in the following situations:

• Any operation that triggers logfile recording (starting a script, starting
pinpointing, or recording a logfile manually) requires that the chosen
storage media have at least 20 MB free memory. If the available memory
is less than that, the operation cannot be performed.
• A logfile recording in progress will stop if the free memory on the chosen
storage media drops below 10 MB.

10.5. Filemarks
You can insert a filemark in a logfile that is being recorded in order to tag a
segment of particular interest in the file, or just to note down some pertinent
fact related to the recording. Multiple filemarks can be inserted in the same
logfile.
Whenever logfile recording is active, the Filemark button is visible on
the action bar. Tap this button to add a filemark at the current position
in the logfile.

This dialog appears.

• In the text box, enter the filemark text.
Optionally, you can reuse the text of any of
the latest five filemarks added, by selecting
the desired filemark from the History list.
• Tap OK to insert the filemark.
Next time you enter the dialog, the text box will
hold the text of the previous filemark with an
underscore and sequence number appended.
If the previous filemark already had a
sequence number, the number is incremented.

Inserting a filemark also generates a Filemark event (see section 6.3.5).

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

When a TEMS Pocket logfile is replayed in TEMS Investigation, filemarks are

displayed in the same way as TEMS Investigation filemarks.

10.6. Replaying Logfiles

This function is used to replay TEMS Pocket logfiles in TEMS Pocket itself.1
Note that you can also load logfiles into TEMS Investigation and TEMS
Discovery Device and make use of the powerful presentation facilities in
these tools.
During replay, the TEMS Pocket views are updated by the logfile content
exactly as in live mode, that is, exactly as if the data were being received from
the network.
To load a logfile:
Tap the Actions button and select Load Logfile.

1. Please note that it is not possible to replay TRP logfiles from other TEMS
products in TEMS Pocket. (For one thing, TEMS Investigation TRP
logfiles may contain data from multiple devices, something which cannot
be presented in TEMS Pocket.)

214
 Chapter 10. Logfiles

• A list appears of the TEMS Pocket logfiles

found on the device’s internal memory
card. Select the desired logfile from the list
and tap Load.
Once you have selected a logfile, the TEMS
Pocket user interface (data views, event log) is
cleared, and the logfile replay is put on
standby. Furthermore, a panel with logfile
replay controls becomes available at the
bottom of the screen; see the next screenshot.

• Tap Show logfile controls.

The timestamps on the left and right indicate
the times of day when the logfile recording
started and ended, respectively. The
timestamp in the middle shows the point to
which the replay has advanced, as also
indicated graphically by the slider.
• To start the replay, tap the Play button. Its
label changes to Pause. Tap the button
once more to pause the replay.
• While the replay is paused, you can jump
forwards or backwards in the logfile, one
second or one minute at a time, using the
buttons [ < 1m ], [ < 1s ], [ 1s > ], [ 1m > ]
(“s” = second, “m” = minute). You can also
jump to an arbitrary point in the logfile by
dragging the slider.

In the Indoor Map view, if you skip past one or

several route waypoints, value element
markers will not be filled in for the whole of the
skipped segment, but only from the last
waypoint before the point you skipped to.

You may want to conceal the logfile controls to

be able to inspect data views more easily. To
this end, tap Hide logfile controls. To show
the controls again, just tap the button once
more (Show logfile controls).

To close and unload the logfile that is currently

loaded:
Tap the Actions button and select
Unload Logfile.
With this command you exit replay mode and
return the application to “live” mode. The
TEMS Pocket views are cleared, after which
they will once again fill up with live data.

10.6.1. Coexistence with Other Device and TEMS Pocket

Functions
You can use any of the device’s regular functions while replaying a logfile, for
example take an incoming call or write an SMS. Such actions do not interfere
with the replay in any way.
On the other hand, while at least one of the TEMS Pocket functions logfile
recording, script execution, and pinpointing is active, logfile replay is
disabled.

10.7. Compatibility with Other TEMS Products

• TEMS Pocket 14.4 logfiles can be post-processed in TEMS Discovery
Device 11.0 or later.

• TEMS Pocket 14.4 logfiles can be loaded in TEMS Investigation 15.3 or

later, except that the following requires TEMS Investigation 16.3:
– DRT WCDMA scan data
– PCTel scan data
– eCSFB with Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900P.

 Chapter 11. TEMS Pocket Sessions

11. TEMS Pocket Sessions

When working with TEMS Pocket, you can optionally delimit bouts of testing
in time by means of TEMS Pocket sessions. In the current product version,
such sessions are used to enable automated storage of logfiles in session-
specific folders and subsequent selective uploading of logfiles.
The concept of a TEMS Pocket session is completely independent of service
testing sessions, which are frequently referred to elsewhere in this manual.
Only one TEMS Pocket session can be active at a time.

11.1. Starting and Stopping TEMS Pocket

Sessions Manually
You can start a TEMS Pocket session independently of other activities as
follows.
Tap the Overflow button and select TEMS Pocket Session.

• Enter a name for the session in the text

field, then tap the Start button.
Logfiles recorded during this session will be
stored in a directory named after the string you
enter here: /phone/pocket/logfiles/sessions/
<session name>/ .

To end an ongoing session:

Tap the Overflow button and select TEMS Pocket Session.

• The name of the current session is shown.

To end it, tap the Stop button.

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

11.2. Starting and Stopping TEMS Pocket

Sessions in Connection with Pinpointing
When you start pinpointing in the Indoor Map view, you have the option to
start a separate TEMS Pocket session for the duration of the pinpointing. On
giving the Start Pinpoint command, you are presented with this dialog
(provided that you have not turned it off – see section 19.2.3):
To start a TEMS Pocket session, check the
Create new session box. A number of further
options will then appear, governing the name
of the session and hence the name of the
directory where logfiles will be stored during
the session.

The naming options are a bit more elaborate

than for manual session start. You can add all
of the following elements to the session name:
• Free-text string
• Predefined string
• Map GUID
• Device equipment ID
• Timestamp (indicating date and time when
the TEMS Pocket session is started)

If a TEMS Pocket session is active when you issue the Start Pinpoint
command, you can if you wish override that session and switch to a new one
for the duration of the pinpointing. The other options are the same as above:

When you select Stop Pinpoint, TEMS Pocket always ends the pinpointing-
specific session and returns to the previously active session (if any).

11.3. Application of TEMS Pocket Sessions

11.3.1. Logfile Upload

When setting up a logfile upload action in a script, you can specify what files
to upload based on the TEMS Pocket session concept. See section 9.6.2.

11.3.2. Multi-device Configurations

The TEMS Pocket session concept is applicable also in a multi-device
configuration. If you have started a session on the controller, the controller will
push it out to all agents, so that each agent will normally store logfiles in a
directory with the same name. However, if the session name contains the
device equipment ID, each agent will use its own ID (EQ1, EQ2, etc.), so that
the directory names will be different.

12. Cell Files

You can import a cell file into TEMS Pocket in order to display cells by name
(rather than by CGI) in data views. Cell file data is also searched as an aid to
target selection for cell and channel lock, and cell counts are shown in
connection with RAT and band lock. For details, see the various sections of
chapter 13.
Cell files are in XML format, and relevant aspects of their syntax are
described in appendix E.1
To import a cell file, do as follows:
Tap the Actions button and select Load Cellfile.

• A list appears of the TEMS Pocket cell files

found on the device’s internal memory
card. Pick the desired cell file from the list,
and tap the Select button.

For the storage location on the internal memory card, see section 4.4.2.
You can download cell files from an FTP server using the synchronization
function described in chapter 20.
Once you have imported a cell file, network cells will be presented by name in
TEMS Pocket data views and in the Outdoor Map view (as detailed in
sections 5.6–5.12 and chapter 8) whenever they can be matched with an
entry in the cell file. Note that plotting of cells on the outdoor map requires
that the cell file include their geographical positions.
When you restart TEMS Pocket, the cell file that was last loaded in the
application (if any) is automatically reloaded.

1. The file format is the same as in TEMS Investigation and contains a wide
range of data, most of which is currently not used in TEMS Pocket.

 Chapter 13. Control Functions

13. Control Functions

Control functions are used to modify the device’s behavior in a cellular

network.
Control functions can be applied either manually or automatically during
execution of a script. For the latter, see section 9.7.1. This chapter deals with
manual control functions.

13.1. Control Function Support in Devices

TEMS Pocket devices are equipped with control functions as set out in the

Regarding interplay between control functions,

see section 13.17.

13.3. RAT Lock

This function locks the device to a subset of its supported radio access
technologies when in idle mode. The function does not have any effect on
RAT selection in dedicated mode.
When a RAT lock is applied, and this results in the device being forced away
from the network it is currently attached to, the device will detach from that
network and subsequently try to attach to some other network that is allowed
by the RAT lock. If this fails, the device will go into no service mode.

224
 Chapter 13. Control Functions

Off: This means that TEMS Pocket does not

influence the device’s network selection. Bear
in mind, though, that the device can also be
RAT locked from the device’s regular user
interface; see note below.
GSM, etc.: What RATs appear here depends
on what the device supports. Another possible
subset is {LTE, CDMA, EV-DO}.
If you check a (permitted) subset of RATs, the
device is forced to camp on a network
belonging to one of the selected technologies,
whenever such a network is available.
Checking all technologies, of course, is
equivalent to Off and is automatically
converted to that setting.
Please note that certain RAT subsets are
disallowed; you will be notified in the user
interface if you attempt to select such a subset.
A similar effect can be obtained by combining
suitable band locks instead (see section 13.4).
For example, to lock the device to WCDMA and
LTE, allow the available bands for these
technologies but deselect the available bands
for GSM.
If a cell file is loaded, then for each RAT the
number of bands and cells in the cell file that
the device supports is indicated below the RAT
name. That is, the counts include only bands
and cells that are in fact available to the device.

13.3.1. Note on Native RAT Lock Functions

In the regular user interface of Sony and Samsung devices, under Settings
 Connections  More networks  Mobile networks  Network
mode, it is possible to make a choice between “LTE/GSM/WCDMA”, “GSM
only”, “WCDMA only”, and “LTE only” (or similar). It is recommended not to
use this function in conjunction with TEMS Pocket.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 225

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

13.3.2. Multiple RAT Lock: Limitations

On the following devices, locking on multiple RATs is not supported:
• Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900I
• Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9506

13.4. Band Lock: LTE/WCDMA/GSM

You can lock the device to a subset of its supported frequency bands on LTE,
WCDMA, or GSM. Note that this operation will result in no service if you
prevent the use of all bands that are available at the current location.
Conversely, checking all bands is equivalent to Off (that is, no lock applied)
and is automatically converted to that setting.
If a cell file is loaded, then for each band, the number of cells on that band
listed in the cell file is indicated beneath the band name.
The device cannot be band-locked while a voice call is in progress.

13.4.1. LTE Band Lock

Off: Function not applied.
1900 MHz (Band 2), etc.: The device will be
locked to the indicated subset of LTE bands.

226
 Chapter 13. Control Functions

13.4.2. WCDMA Band Lock

Off: Function not applied.
2100 MHz (Band I), etc.: The device will be
locked to the indicated subset of WCDMA
bands.

13.4.3. GSM Band Lock

Off: Function not applied.
850 MHz, etc.: The device will be locked to the
indicated subset of GSM bands.

13.5. LTE Cell Lock

This function locks the device to one Physical Layer Cell Identity (PCI) on one
EARFCN. The PCI lock is optional; if it is not applied, the function reduces to
an EARFCN lock.
One aspect of the behavior of this function must be noted: together with the
cell lock, an LTE RAT lock is also implicitly applied. While the cell lock is in
effect, any user-initiated RAT lock command will be ignored. However, such a
command will take effect after the LTE cell lock has been released.
To apply the function:

• Tap the EARFCN:PCI item.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 227

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

Here you can either simply enter an EARFCN

(and, optionally, a PCI) under Selected
Channel, or you can search the cell file (if one
is loaded) for matching parameters and cell
names under Free-text Search. The search
hits are listed under Matching Cells, and you
can pick the EARFCN and PCI of one of these.
Only cells on bands that the device actually
supports will turn up as matches in the search.
For full details on the cell search function, see
section 13.12.
After entering an EARFCN, and a PCI if
desired, tap the Back button.

Back in the LTE Cell Lock dialog, tap the

Overflow button and select Apply.

13.6. LTE EARFCN Lock

This function locks the device to one EARFCN.

• Tap the EARFCN item.

228
 Chapter 13. Control Functions

Here you can either simply enter an EARFCN

under Selected Channel, or you can search
the cell file (if one is loaded) for matching
EARFCNs and cell names under Free-text
Search. The search hits are listed under
Matching Cells, and you can pick the
EARFCN of one of these. Only cells on bands
that the device actually supports will turn up as
matches in the search.
For full details on the cell search function, see
section 13.12.
After entering an EARFCN, tap the Back
button.

Back in the LTE EARFCN Lock dialog,

tap the Overflow button and select
Apply.

The EARFCN lock function needs to be combined with the function for
disabling LTE inter-frequency (that is, inter-EARFCN) handover. The latter is
available in the separate Ascom TEMS Capability Control app (see
appendix H.2) and should be applied before the EARFCN lock. When both
functions are applied, the device will be forced to remain on the same
EARFCN as long as it is in connected mode. However, if the device goes into
idle mode, the EARFCN lock no longer prevents it from switching to a
different EARFCN.
If you attempt to lock on an EARFCN that the device does not support, the
control function will fail. Note that this behavior is different from the
corresponding WCDMA and GSM locking functions, where the device goes
into no service mode in this situation.

13.7. LTE EARFCN/PCI Lock

This function locks the device to one Physical Layer Cell Identity on one
EARFCN. It is implemented in the TEMS Capability Control app and is
described in appendix H.1. A device reboot may be required, in which case it
is performed automatically on the lock being applied.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 229

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

For the PCI lock to take effect, it needs to be combined with a RAT lock to
LTE from within TEMS Pocket. The latter operation is covered in section 13.3.

13.8. WCDMA UARFCN Lock

This function locks the device to one WCDMA UARFCN. It is implemented in
the TEMS Capability Control app and is described in appendix H.3.

13.9. WCDMA Disable Handover

This function disables all kinds of handover in WCDMA. It is implemented in
the TEMS Capability Control app and is described in appendix H.4.

13.10. WCDMA Cell Lock

This function singles out one cell (UARFCN + scrambling code combination)
or simply one UARFCN that the device should use.

• Tap the UARFCN:SC item.

Here you can either simply enter a UARFCN

(and, optionally, a scrambling code) under
Selected Channel and Cell Reference, or
you can search the cell file (if one is loaded) for
matching parameters and cell names under
Free-text Search. The search hits are listed
under Matching Cells, and you can pick the
UARFCN and SC of one of these. Only cells on
bands that the device actually supports will
turn up as matches in the search.
For full details on the cell search function, see
section 13.12.
After entering a UARFCN, and a scrambling
code if desired, tap the Back button.

230
 Chapter 13. Control Functions

Back in the WCDMA Cell Lock dialog,

tap the Overflow button and select
Apply.

The same function can alternatively be applied from the WCDMA Cell List
data view to a cell or UARFCN that appears there. Any action that you
perform from the Control Functions menu is also immediately reflected by
means of highlighting (in green) in the WCDMA Cell List data view. See
section 5.6.3 for full details.
The WCDMA Cell Lock function can be described in general terms thus:
• In idle mode, the function forces the device to camp on the selected cell
or some cell on the selected UARFCN.
• In connected mode, the function has the following effect:
– The device encourages the network to include the selected cell (or
any cell on the selected UARFCN, if no scrambling code has been
specified) in the active set when the device comes close enough to
measure on the cell.
– Once a desired cell has entered the active set, the device keeps it
there until the connection drops. That is, no further soft or softer
handovers are performed adding cells to the active set.
– Nothing in particular is done to have unwanted cells removed from the
active set; this only happens naturally as the device reaches the
boundary of a cell.

A good way to use this function is as follows: Apply the function while the
device is in idle mode to lock it to the cell or UARFCN you want to test. Then
run your service testing. Only the desired cell, or cells on the desired
UARFCN, will then be admitted to the active set.

13.10.1. Technical Notes on Idle Mode

After the function has been applied, the device will still search on all
UARFCNs, but will accept only the selected UARFCN or UARFCN + SC
combination. It may therefore take some time from the moment the control
function is applied until the device finds an acceptable cell.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 231

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

13.10.2. Technical Notes on Dedicated Mode

The “encouraging” referred to in section 13.10 is accomplished by TEMS
Pocket by filtering the Measurement Reports sent to the network. Only the
Measurement Reports signaling intra- and inter-frequency events are filtered.
Further, the reports are only filtered if the target cell has been measured and
found acceptable, which the network controls through the Measurement
Control messages it sends to the device.

13.11. GSM Cell Lock

You can do one of the following:
• Lock on one or several cells. The device is then restricted to using these
cells alone.
• Prevent one or several cells. The device is then prevented from using
these cells.
It is not possible to apply both types of function at the same time.
The GSM Cell Lock function has an effect in idle as well as dedicated mode.
In other words, it can be used to control both cell selection and handover
behavior.
If the signals from all allowed cells are too weak, the device will go into no
service mode.

13.11.1. Applying GSM Cell Lock Functions

The Prevent flag governs what type of action
is performed:
• For locking, uncheck the Prevent box.
• For preventing, check the Prevent box.
The procedures for locking and preventing are
exactly analogous; in either case you simply
define the set of ARFCNs the operation should
apply to.
• Tap the ARFCN item.

232
 Chapter 13. Control Functions

Here you can either simply enter an ARFCN

under Selected Channel, or you can search
the cell file (if one is loaded) for matching
ARFCNs and cell names under Free-text
Search. The search hits are listed under
Matching Cells, and you can pick the ARFCN
of one of these. Only cells on bands that the
device actually supports will turn up as
matches in the search.
For full details on the cell search function, see
section 13.12.
After entering an ARFCN, tap the Back button.

The selected ARFCN now appears in the GSM

Cell Lock dialog. A further ARFCN item is also
provided, enabling you to add one more
ARFCN to the set if desired.
When you are done adding ARFCNs,
tap the Overflow button and select
Apply.

The same functions can alternatively be applied from the GSM Cell List data
view to cells that appear there. Any actions that you perform from the Control
Functions menu are also immediately reflected by means of highlighting
(green/red) in the GSM Cell List data view. See section 5.6.1 for full details.

13.11.2. Releasing GSM Cell Lock Functions

To release a control function for one cell:
• Tap the ARFCN item you want to remove.
• Under Selected Channel, tap the “cross”
button to erase the ARFCN number from
the input field. Then tap the Back button.
In the GSM Cell Lock dialog, tap the
Overflow button and select Apply.

• To release all applied lock or prevent functions, use the Reset command
as explained in section 13.2.

13.12. Notes on the Cell Search Function

This section applies to both LTE, WCDMA, and GSM cell lock. If no cell file is
loaded, the search described below will simply never return any hits.

What you type into the Free-text Search field is

matched with the following tags in the cell file
(whose format is described in appendix E):
• <CELLNAME> (all technologies)
• <EARFCN_DL> (LTE)
• <UARFCN_DL>, <SC> (WCDMA)
• <ARFCN> (GSM).
You can enter multiple search terms, separated
by spaces. The Selected Channel [...] fields
themselves function as search fields (where a
single term can be entered).
An implicit AND relationship holds among all
In this WCDMA example, search terms. At least two characters must be
the cells matched are those typed in each field; a single character in a field
whose name contains the will be disregarded in the search. On the other
substring “pite” and whose hand, a single-character term is valid in the
name, UARFCN, or SC Free-text Search field if entered alongside
contains the substring “107”. another term.
The search is run automatically as soon as you
have typed enough characters. Under Match-
ing Cells, all cells that meet the current search
criteria are presented with their channel num-
ber, (WCDMA only) SC, and name, along with
an indication of the total number of matches.
The matching segments are highlighted in
green; note that matching of substrings also
applies to digits in cell parameters.
For WCDMA, tap a cell to select its UARFCN
and SC. The Selected Channel... fields are
then populated with those values, and the
Matching Cells list is filtered so that only cells
having the same UARFCN and SC are left. The
procedure is the same for other technologies,
except that the SC has no counterpart.

13.14. Cell Barred Lock

This function lets you alter the device’s behavior with respect to barred,
reserved, and other cells.

13.14.1. GSM Cell Barred

Off: The device will not camp on barred cells.
All cells: The device will camp on any cell,
ignoring cell barring.
Only barred: The device will camp only on
barred cells.

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

13.14.2. WCDMA Cell Barred

Off: The device will not access barred or
reserved cells.
All cells: The device will access any cell, also
barred and reserved ones.
Only barred: The device will only access
barred cells.
Only reserved: The device will only access
reserved cells.
Only operator reserved: The device will only
access cells that are reserved for operator use.
Only future reserved: The device will only
access cells that are reserved for future use.
Only barred or reserved: The device will only
access cells that are barred or reserved.

Note: In WCDMA, it typically takes a while until this control function

comes into effect. This is because cell barred/reserved settings
are contained in System Information messages, which are sent
only infrequently in WCDMA. TEMS Pocket cannot apply the
control function until it has read System Information and found
out about the cell’s current status.

13.15. Access Class Lock

This function allows you to manipulate access class settings ( 3GPP 22.011,

Classes 0 to 9: Every device is by default
allocated randomly to one of these access
classes. You can change the default allocation
here by tapping Class and selecting a class
from the list that appears.
Classes 10 to 15: Membership of these
classes entitles a device to make access
attempts in various special situations. Check
the classes that you want the device to be a
member of: NW access emergency calls, etc.

13.16. WCDMA Fast Dormancy Control

This function can be used to inhibit fast dormancy in WCDMA networks.
Fast dormancy is a 3GPP mechanism designed to save smartphone battery
as well as network resources by minimizing the time the device spends in
power-consuming states. Smartphones normally tend to keep a PDP context
active at all times, even when no data is transmitted, which causes waste of
battery in the device and also consumes resources on the network side for
keep-alive signaling.
On the other hand, for the device to be able to quickly resume data transfer
when needed, and to prevent excessive state transition signaling, the device
should not go all the way back into IDLE state too easily.
As defined in  3GPP Release 8, TS 25.331, section 8.1.14, the UE is required to
wait for the network-configured timer T323 to expire before it can release the
network connection. When the timer expires, the UE sends a Signaling
Connection Release Indication (SCRI) message with a parameter “UE
requested PS data session end”. The network can now decide to do nothing,
to put the UE in IDLE state, or to put the connection into Cell_PCH or
URA_PCH state.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 237

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

The TEMS Pocket control function works as follows:

When Allow is checked, the control function is

turned off, and TEMS Pocket does not interfere
with the fast dormancy procedure described
above if it is activated in the network.
When Allow is unchecked, the control function
is turned on, and fast dormancy is inhibited.
TEMS Pocket achieves this by suppressing the
SCRI message with the parameter “UE
requested PS data session end”.

Note: Be aware that the device will never enter a dormant state if it is
charging. Therefore, allowing fast dormancy is pointless in that
situation.

13.17. Interplay between Control Functions

This section describes the interdependencies among the various locking
functions. For convenience, the cell lock, cell prevent, channel/carrier lock,
and band lock functions (sections 13.4–13.12) are referred to collectively
below as “intra-technology” functions.
• While the device is locked to a RAT, no control function associated with a
different RAT can be applied (all such items are grayed out in the Control
Function Settings dialog). The RAT lock must be released first.
• You can apply multiple intra-technology functions at the same time; for
example, both a WCDMA band lock and a WCDMA cell lock.
• Applying an intra-technology function does not automatically lock the
device to the corresponding RAT. If the device is currently on a different
RAT, then the intra-technology function will of course not have any
immediate effect. It will take effect if and when the device switches to the
RAT associated with the intra-technology function.

14. Audio Quality Measurement

Audio quality can be measured in TEMS Pocket using the POLQA algorithm.

14.1. The POLQA Algorithm

The POLQA (Perceptual Objective Listening Quality Analysis) algorithm,
defined in the ITU-T P.863 standard, measures end-to-end speech quality by
comparing one party’s undistorted input signal (serving as reference) with the
degraded version of the same signal received by the other party. The severity
of the degradation as perceived by human listeners is assessed using highly
refined models of the human ear and the brain’s processing of auditory input.
POLQA is the successor of PESQ (ITU-T P.862) and has been specially
developed for HD voice, 3G and 4G/LTE, and VoIP. The POLQA algorithm
has been designed to eliminate known weaknesses of PESQ, particularly in
these areas:
• Handling of new and complex types of distortions that arise from today’s
convergence and coexistence of voice, data, and multimedia application
services. One example is the effects of packet loss and of packet loss
concealment.
• Performance for higher-bandwidth audio signals (wideband, super-
wideband).
• Performance for CDMA speech codecs and hence for CDMA networks in
general.
More information about POLQA is available at  www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-
P.863/en.

14.2. AQM in TEMS Pocket

14.2.1. TEMS Pocket Devices Supporting AQM

In TEMS Pocket 14.4, AQM is supported on the following devices:

240
 Chapter 14. Audio Quality Measurement

• Sony Xperia V LT25i

• LG G2 VS980
• Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900V
• Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9506
• Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini SGH-I257
• Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900T
• Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900V
• Sharp SG304SH
Please note that AQM requires a special license option. For the details on
license requirements, turn to section 3.4.

14.2.2. AQM Setups

AQM scores for voice calls can be calculated in TEMS Pocket in the following
setups:
• During mobile-to-mobile calls between two TEMS Pocket devices. Two
distinct scenarios are possible:
– AQM scores calculated at one end (by the calling party), or:
– AQM scores calculated at both ends (by both parties).
• During mobile-originated voice calls made from a TEMS Pocket device to
a CallGenerator. The TEMS Pocket device calculates AQM scores.
These setups are dealt with in turn in subsections 14.2.3–14.2.5.
The calling TEMS Pocket device is controlled by an AQM script action in all
cases. The answering device is controlled either by an AQM action or by a
Voice MT action, as detailed in the following.
Voice codec bandwidth is specified to the POLQA algorithm as narrowband
(“NB”) or super-wideband (“SWB”). This choice is indicated in the AQM mode
string. During AQM testing, the speech sentences transmitted are always
SWB encoded; it is however possible to set the bandwidth differently for the
two devices involved in the AQM call. Choosing “NB” for bandwidth will cause
the POLQA algorithm to consider only the narrowband portion of the signal
spectrum in assessing voice quality.
In the mobile-to-mobile setup, any combination of bearer is supported: VoLTE
to VoLTE, VoLTE to CS, CS to VoLTE, and CS to CS. In the mobile-to-fixed
setup, only CS is supported.

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

14.2.3. Mobile-to-mobile AQM: One-way

In this setup, the two TEMS Pocket devices have distinct roles. One device
plays back a succession of speech sentences to the other, which records the
sentences and computes AQM scores. The device tasked with the AQM
computation is the party that dials the call.
• For the calling party, set AQM mode to “POLQA <codec> DL - mobile to
mobile”. As explained in section 14.2.2, <codec> can be either NB or
SWB.
• The receiving party does not compute any AQM scores and is controlled
by a Voice MT script action: see section 9.3.8.
The procedure is illustrated in the following diagram:

14.2.4. Mobile-to-mobile AQM: Two-way

In this setup, both TEMS Pocket devices are controlled by an AQM script
action. The devices take turns sending and receiving speech sentences, and
AQM scores are computed by both devices.
• For the calling party, set AQM mode to “POLQA <codec> DL_UL - mobile
to mobile”. (The calling party starts by receiving a sentence [“DL”], then
sends the same sentence back [“UL”], as shown in the diagram below.)

242
 Chapter 14. Audio Quality Measurement

• For the answering party, set AQM mode to “POLQA <codec> UL_DL -
mobile to mobile”. (The answering party first sends a sentence [“UL”],
then receives a sentence [“DL”].)
As explained in section 14.2.2, <codec> can be either NB or SWB, and the
codec can be set differently for the two devices.
Refer to the diagram for an overview of the measurement procedure.

The microphone in each device will be muted while the AQM action executes.
Avoid the following during AQM testing:
• Using a headset (whether cable-connected or Bluetooth) with the device.
• Activating loudspeaker mode or making any other sound-related
adjustments on the device.

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

14.2.5. Mobile-to-fixed AQM

In this setup, a TEMS Pocket device dials a CallGenerator, which plays back
speech sentences so that TEMS Pocket can calculate AQM scores.

Note: This setup is supported for CS only, not for VoLTE.

• Set AQM mode to “POLQA <codec> DL - mobile to fixed”. As explained

in section 14.2.2, <codec> can be either NB or SWB.
The communication flow in this configuration is similar to one-way mobile-to-
mobile AQM (section 14.2.3), as depicted in the following diagram.

 Chapter 15. Mobile Network Scanning with DRT4311B Scanner

15. Mobile Network Scanning

with DRT4311B Scanner

TEMS Pocket has the ability to conduct scanning of mobile networks with an
external DRT4311B scanner connected to the TEMS Pocket device, and to
present the results of such scans. The scanning can be either manual or
scripted.
Mobile network scanning with a DRT scanner is completely independent of
other TEMS Pocket activities and never conflicts with any of these. The data
view header is unaffected by scanning activities.

15.1. Scope of DRT4311B Scanning

TEMS Pocket 14.4 supports:
• LTE signal scan
• WCDMA CPICH scan

The DRT4311B scanner supports the following bands:

• E-UTRA Bands 1–12, 14, 17–21, 23–26
• UTRA Bands 1–14, 19–21, 25, 26

15.2. Prerequisites
• The supported scanner software version is 01.08.01.
• The TEMS Pocket device needs to have an app from DRT installed which
is named “DRT Mps Scanner Service”. This app is installed automatically
by the TEMS Pocket installer.
• A special TEMS Pocket license option is required for DRT mobile network
scanning; see section 3.4.1.
• Adapter: Mini-A plug to USB-A receptacle
• Cable: USB-A plug to smartphone plug

15.3. Setting Up a Scan

DRT mobile network scanning can be controlled by a script, or it can be
started and stopped manually.
A scripted scan is set up by defining “Scan” type actions, one for starting and
one for stopping the scan. For the details, see section 9.5. Please note that
some other action must intervene between the start and stop actions, since
otherwise the scan will have no substantial duration. The simplest solution is
to insert a Wait action of the desired length.
A manual scan is set up in the following way:
Tap the Settings button and select Settings  Scanning.

• The parameters in the dialog that appears are exactly the same as for a
scripted scan, except that the Command parameter is absent. Configure
them according to section 9.5.3.

15.4. Connecting the Scanner

When you connect the DRT scanner for the first time, a message will appear
saying: “Open Drt Mps Service Application when this accessory is
connected?” Check the box “Use by default for this USB accessory” and
tap OK. The message will now no longer appear on future occasions when
you connect the scanner. The DRT app launches.
Whenever the scanner is connected and TEMS Pocket is running, you can do
(manual) scanning while using other TEMS Pocket functions at the same
time.

15.5. Running a Scan

Before you start scanning, make sure the Drt Mps Service icon is
visible on the Android status bar.

 Chapter 17. Wi-Fi Scanning

17. Wi-Fi Scanning

Wi-Fi availability and Wi-Fi scanning can be controlled from within TEMS
Pocket. The effect of activating Wi-Fi scanning is exactly the same as when
turning on Wi-Fi in the device’s regular user interface.

17.1. Starting and Stopping a Wi-Fi Scan

Wi-Fi scanning can be started manually as follows:
Tap the Actions button and select Turn On Wi-Fi.

In the dialog that appears, check the option

Scan for Wi-Fi cells, and tap the Turn on Wi-
Fi button. (If you do not check the option, Wi-Fi
is enabled on the device, but no scanning is
initiated.)

To stop the scanning and turn Wi-Fi off:

Tap the Actions button and select Turn Off Wi-Fi.

The Wi-Fi function can also be controlled by a script by means of the “Wi-Fi”
action: see section 9.7.4. Please note that some other action must then
intervene between the “enable scan” and “disable scan” Wi-Fi actions, since
otherwise the scan will have no substantial duration. The simplest solution is
to insert a Wait action of the desired length.

17.2. Presentation of Wi-Fi Scans

The output from Wi-Fi scanning is presented in the data views described in
sections 5.12.1 and 5.12.2.

17.3. Recording Wi-Fi Scan Data in Logfiles

When logfile recording is active, it will capture Wi-Fi scan data whenever such
scanning is in progress.

17.4. Wi-Fi Scanning vs. Wi-Fi Data Transfer

As explained in section 9.7.4, if you wish to test data transfer over Wi-Fi, it
may be appropriate to turn off Wi-Fi scanning in TEMS Pocket during this
time to prevent it from impinging on data transfer performance. If repeated
continually, as is done by TEMS Pocket, the scanning will have a substantial
negative impact on the data throughput. Most of the time, therefore, it may be
suitable to have the Scan for cells option turned on (scanning allowed in Wi-
Fi idle mode) but the Scan during measurement option turned off.
Also remember that in script actions, the Wi-Fi association parameter must
be set to “Enabled” for Wi-Fi to be allowed as data bearer. See section 9.3.1.

18. GPS Usage with TEMS Pocket

This chapter deals with using the device’s built-in GPS or an external GPS
with TEMS Pocket.

18.1. TEMS Pocket Functionality Requiring GPS

Data
GPS data is required in TEMS Pocket in order to:
• Plot routes in the Outdoor Map view. See chapter 8.
• Make use of cell file look-up to present cells by name in data views and in
the Outdoor Map view.
• Populate the GPS data view. See section 5.11.3.

18.2. Supported External GPS Units

• GlobalSat BT-359

18.3. Selecting a GPS to Use with TEMS Pocket

Tap the Settings button and select Settings  General  GPS.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 253

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

Type:
• Internal: Select this to always use the
device’s built-in GPS. Please note that the
built-in GPS must be enabled in Android to
be available to TEMS Pocket. See section
4.6.1.
• External (Preferred): Select this to make
TEMS Pocket use an external GPS that
has been Bluetooth paired with and
connected to the TEMS Pocket device. The
pairing and connect operations take place
in Android and are not handled from within
TEMS Pocket. Specifics differ between
Android versions and are not described
further here; but the operations are always
performed from somewhere under the
Settings menu.

Should the external GPS be accidentally disconnected or run out of battery,

TEMS Pocket will automatically switch to the internal GPS as a fallback. This
is why the string reads “(Preferred)”. If and when the external GPS becomes
available again (for example, when it has been recharged), TEMS Pocket will
automatically revert to using the external GPS.

18.3.1. Built-in vs. External GPS: Pros and Cons

An external GPS has the advantage of reducing the power consumption in
the mobile device. It is also easier to install in a position with good satellite
coverage. For example, you might place the GPS on the car dashboard,
where it has better satellite line of sight, and use the mobile device inside the
car where GPS coverage might be inferior or even unavailable.
On the other hand, it should be noted that the internal GPS units in today’s
smartphones have improved significantly in accuracy and acquisition rate
compared to older devices, so that they deserve consideration as a
convenient alternative to an external GPS. Using an external GPS also
obviously means one more device to keep track of and to keep charged.

254
 Chapter 18. GPS Usage with TEMS Pocket

18.4. Controlling the GPS

Scripts in TEMS Pocket have a setting that governs GPS use, as explained in
section 9.2.1.
When you record a logfile manually, you are prompted to decide whether to
include GPS data in the logfile. See section 10.3.
TEMS Pocket also has commands for manually turning the GPS on and off.
These commands are useful if you are doing tests without running a script.
• To turn on the GPS:
Tap the Actions button and select Turn On GPS.

• To turn off the GPS:

Tap the Actions button and select Turn Off GPS.

All of the operations mentioned in this section apply to any GPS, whether
internal or external.

256
 Chapter 19. Settings Menu

19.1.4. Cell Information Settings

Cached cell information: If set to Enabled,
TEMS Pocket will reuse information on
previously detected cells in the presentation. A
more detailed explanation follows below.

Cell identities are reported infrequently from the network, and only for the
current serving cell, not for neighbors. As a result, no recently reported cell
identity is typically available for most cells in the cell list views. Even for the
serving cell, it may take a while until the cell identity is obtained.1
The cell caching function remedies this situation by storing all cells that are
detected by TEMS Pocket in a look-up table. As a result, whenever such a
cell reappears in the list later on, its identity can be presented immediately,
without the need to wait until it is reported from the network. Such a deduced
cell identity is shown in italics in the data views.

Here is an example from GSM. The first three

neighbors have previously been the serving
cell at some point, so that their CIs have been
reported. TEMS Pocket stored these CIs and
now redisplays them (in italics) when the cells
appear as neighbors instead.

The caching operates in LTE, WCDMA, and GSM networks. It is especially

useful after the device has switched to a different RAT and then back again.
On returning to the “old” RAT, cell identities will be populated immediately for
all cells previously encountered in that network.
Please note that while in practice a deduced cell identity will be correct nearly
all of the time, there is nevertheless a possibility that it is wrong, namely if a
cell is encountered whose other identifying parameters (e.g. UARFCN + SC)
have the same values as some previously detected cell.
The cell caching function as such is always active; what the setting governs is
whether or not the cached cell identities will be used in the presentation. The

1. That is, unless a cell file and GPS positioning data are available, in which
case TEMS Pocket can look up cell identities in the cell file instead. The
cell caching function is aimed at improving the presentation in the
absence of a cell file.

• In the first box, select one of the logfile
prefixes you have defined.
• In the second box, you can enter another
free-text prefix, intended to represent
yourself as a TEMS Pocket user.
• You can also choose to add the map set
GUID (predefined in the map set) as a
prefix.
• Finally, you can add the device equipment
ID (see section 19.2.4) as a prefix.
The complete logfile name syntax resulting
from the current dialog settings is displayed
beneath the set of options.
The dialog furthermore contains a section
related to TEMS Pocket sessions; this is
covered in section 11.2.
When done, tap the Start Pinpoint button to
proceed.

19.2.4. Device Equipment ID

This feature is intended primarily for multi-device TEMS Pocket configu-
rations (see chapter 24). Each TEMS Pocket device can be assigned an
equipment ID in the format “EQn” in logfiles. Such tagging serves to tell

devices apart when post-processing TEMS Pocket logfiles in TEMS

Investigation or TEMS Discovery Device.
• Select a designation from the range “EQ1”
... “EQ8”.

19.2.5. Scanner Equipment ID

This is analogous to Device Equipment ID (see section 19.2.4) but is applied
to an external scanner connected to the TEMS Pocket device, rather than to
the device itself.

19.3. Display Format Settings

A number of value elements in TEMS Pocket can be displayed in either
decimal or hexadecimal format. In some cases, parameter-specific formats
are also selectable (for example, Group ID/Phy ID for LTE PCI).
Display format settings take effect immediately, both in live mode and during
logfile replay. They also persist after TEMS Pocket is restarted.

You can access the display settings either from

this menu or by long-pressing the value
element of interest in the data view header.

20. Synchronizing the Device

Configuration to an FTP
Server

This feature allows an FTP server to be used as a central repository for

TEMS Pocket settings and auxiliary data (scripts, map sets, cell files). TEMS
Pocket devices can connect to the server and download all material currently
available in these categories, or a subset of them.
The synchronization function provides an easy way to ensure that all TEMS
Pocket users in an organization have up-to-date configurations on their
devices.

20.1. Setting Up the FTP Server

The directory structure on the FTP server must be set up as follows:
• For each user, project, or other entity that you want to distinguish, create
a directory /<user_name>/pocket/ in the server root with subdirectories
cellfiles/ (*.xml)
mapsets/ (*.ibwc)
scripts/ (*.xml)
views/ (*.custom – see section 5.13.4)
exportsettings/ (*.pocket – see section 19.5.1)

and store your data in this structure. The extensions for the relevant file types
are indicated above.
It is convenient to use a tool such as FileZilla to create the FTP server
directory structure and upload your data to the server.

20.2. Setting Up the Synchronization

To use this function:
Tap the Actions button and select Synchronize to Server.

262
 Chapter 20. Synchronizing the Device Configuration to an FTP Server

Server: FTP server specified by an IPv4

address (12-digit number) or a plain-text name.
User, Password: User name and password on
the FTP server, if required.
Directory: Directory on the FTP server from
which to download, e.g. /<user1>/pocket/. See
section 20.1 regarding server directory
structure.
Items to synchronize: Here you select what
categories of data to download from the server.
• Cell files
• Map sets
• Scripts
• Custom views (Note: Downloading new

22. TEMS Pocket on Tablets

The TEMS Pocket user interface on tablets is generally similar to the mobile
phone user interface. The differences that do exist are described here.
Below is a screenshot of the tablet user interface:

The following is worth noting:

• In the header, the simple LED-style measurement value indicators shown
on the phone screen are replaced by horizontal bars with the current
numerical value displayed on top of them. Compare section 4.3.3.
• Data views are shown two at a time, side by side, in the main screen area.
These are adjacent views in the currently selected data view category.
Scrolling between data views is done in the usual manner.
• The pinpointing and logfile replay controls appear on the right-hand side
of the screen for easy access when holding the tablet:

23. TEMS Pocket Remote

A TEMS Pocket device running in Remote mode can be used as an

unattended probe tasked with (for example) monitoring or benchmarking. The
device is then controlled remotely from Ascom’s Fleet Manager and does not
expose most of the regular TEMS Pocket real-time diagnostics interface.
TEMS Pocket Remote does however have a user interface of its own,
showing the application’s current status and letting the user configure its
behavior towards the Fleet Manager.
This chapter deals with the TEMS Pocket Remote interface and explains how
the device (called client in this context) operates in Remote mode.

23.1. TEMS Pocket Remote vs. Professional

If your TEMS Pocket device was purchased with a Remote-only license, it will
show only the user interface described in this chapter.
If, on the other hand, your TEMS Pocket was purchased with both
Professional and Remote license options, you can switch between Local (i.e.
normal) mode and Remote mode as described in chapter 25. Note that TEMS
Pocket Remote must be offline to permit this transition: see section 23.2.2.

23.2. Data Views in TEMS Pocket Remote

23.2.1. Data View Categories

TEMS Pocket Remote displays the following data view categories.
• Remote: These are data views unique to TEMS Pocket Remote. They
are described in sections 23.2.2–23.2.4.
• Test Status: Same as in TEMS Pocket Professional. See section 5.10.
• Location: Same as in Professional, except that the Indoor Map view is
not available. See section 5.11 and chapter 8.
• Wi-Fi: Same as in Professional. See section 5.12.

 Chapter 23. TEMS Pocket Remote

23.2.2. “Remote Overview” Data View

This data view shows the current status of the TEMS Pocket Remote
application in terms of its activities and its communication with the Fleet
Manager.

Online:
• Green: The client is active and will commu-
nicate with the configured Fleet Manager
Endpoint and collect measurements (if
configured to do so).
• Red: The client is inactive (offline) and will
do nothing. Settings, however, can be
configured before the client goes online.
Tap the Quick Access button and select
Go Online/Go Offline to toggle this
setting.
Registered:
• Green: The client has completed regis-
tration with the Fleet Manager.
• Red: The client has not yet registered with
the Fleet Manager, or it is not online. When
the client goes online, it will proceed to
register immediately.
A client must be online to be able to conduct
testing as a TEMS Pocket Remote probe. If the
Initial registration required flag is set (see
section 23.3.2), the client must also have
registered successfully.

Online State: When TEMS Pocket Remote is

online, its current state is highlighted in blue.
The possible states are:

(continued on next page)

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 269

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

(continued)

• Idle: No client activity except waiting for

sync timeout and/or firing of measurement
triggers.
• Syncing: The client is synchronizing with
the Fleet Manager. This entails: synchroni-
zation of client settings; download of new
campaigns (scripts) that have become
available since the previous sync; upload of
positioning data, events, and client infor-
mation.
• Measuring: The client is executing a script,
some details of which can then be
inspected in the Local Content/Active
Measurement view (see section 23.2.4).
• Shutting down: The client is unregistering
from the Fleet Manager and is about to
cease functioning as a TEMS Pocket
Remote probe.
When you start TEMS Pocket in Remote
mode, the application will return to the state it
was in before you exited. This also applies if
autostart is enabled under General settings
(see section 19.1.1).

Configuration: These indicators refer to some

vital aspects of the configuration of the client
as a TEMS Pocket Remote probe.

Endpoint: Fleet Manager endpoint in the Fleet

Manager settings: see section 23.3.1.
• Green: A syntactically valid IP address has
been entered as endpoint. Note, however,
that no further verification of the IP address
is associated with this status value (for
example, whether it in fact leads to a valid
Fleet Manager).

(continued on next page)

270
 Chapter 23. TEMS Pocket Remote

(continued)

• Red: No syntactically valid IP address

entered as endpoint. While this is lacking,
the client cannot go online.

Scripts: This means scripts downloaded by

the client from the Fleet Manager. When in
Remote mode, you cannot compose scripts
locally on the client.
• Green: At least one script is present, and
all of them are executable. For a script to
be executable, it must be syntactically
correct; furthermore, it must be active in the
Fleet Manager, and the campaign it is part
of must be active as well. Compare section
23.2.4.
• Yellow: Scripts are present, and at least
one of them is executable, but there is also
at least one script that is not.
• Red: There are no scripts on the client, or
scripts are present but none of them can be
executed.
To find out details about why scripts are not
executable, you can inspect the “Remote”
events that appear in the event log (see
section 6.1) when the device is in Remote
mode.

Triggers:
• Green: All scripts present have valid
triggers.
• Yellow: At least one script has valid
triggers, but there is also at least one script
that is either missing all triggers or has no
stop trigger defined (so that the script will
run endlessly).
• Red: No script has valid triggers.
• Gray: No active scripts present.

23.3. Configuration of TEMS Pocket Remote

To edit configuration parameters for TEMS Pocket Remote, tap the
Settings button and select Settings  Remote.

Any changes made to most of these settings take effect immediately, even if a
script is executing – including client settings that govern synchronization
behavior (see section 23.3.2). The only exceptions are changes to Fleet
Manager and proxy settings, which will come into effect at the next synchro-
nization (they will not be picked up during a synchronization that is already in
progress).
The settings can alternatively be edited from the Fleet Manager, in which
case they will be retrieved by the client at the next synchronization. If a
setting has been edited both on the client and in the Fleet Manager since last
sync, the client setting will normally prevail. There is one exception, namely if
the client is “clean” with default settings throughout (for example, if the TEMS
Pocket application has just been removed and reinstalled) but has previously
registered with the Fleet Manager with modified (non-default) settings. In this
case, the Fleet Manager settings will take precedence.

23.3.1. Fleet Manager Settings

Fleet Manager Endpoint: URL of the Fleet
Manager endpoint to which the client logs in.
User, Password: Credential used by the client
when logging in to the Fleet Manager.
Client Name: Name by which the client is
known to the Fleet Manager, and which is
displayed in the Fleet Manager user interface.

274
 Chapter 23. TEMS Pocket Remote

23.3.2. Client Settings

Registration Reattempt Interval: This setting
governs how frequently the client will retry
registration with the Fleet Manager in case the
registration fails.
Sync Interval (Idle): The interval at which the
client synchronizes with the Fleet Manager
when in idle mode. The timer is reset when the
client returns to Idle state (from Measuring).
Sync Interval (Measuring): The interval at
which the client should ideally synchronize with
the Fleet Manager when measuring, that is,
while executing a script. However, after the
sync interval times out, the client first finishes
the current script iteration before syncing, then
pauses the script to do the synchronization.
After the sync is complete, the script resumes,
embarking on the next iteration.
If the sync interval times out a second time
during the same iteration, the entire script is
stopped. A sync is performed, but afterwards
the client goes into Idle state without resuming
the script. In practice, therefore, this parameter
provides an additional mechanism (besides the
stop trigger in the script) for limiting the script
execution time. It can also be used to abort a
script that might unintentionally have been
configured as to never finish. In this way you
become able to reconfigure the invalid script
from the Fleet Manager and push the corrected
script to the client within twice the time interval
configured here.
Go Offline Sync Timeout: The length of time
to wait for an acknowledgment from the Fleet
Manager after the Go Offline command has
been given (see section 23.2.2). If no acknowl-
edgment arrives within this time, the client
goes offline anyway.

(continued on next page)

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 275

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

(continued)

Initial Registration Required: If set to

Enabled, successful registration with the Fleet
Manager is required before the client is
allowed to run scripts it has already
downloaded (that is, on some previous
occasion when the client was registered).
Sync After Measurement: If set to Enabled,
the client will perform an extra synchronization
each time it has finished a script normally (the
script’s stop trigger evaluated to true, or the
maximum number of script iterations was
completed).

23.3.3. Fleet Manager Proxy Settings

If the Fleet Manager is to be accessed through
a proxy server, enter the proxy settings here.

23.4. Script Handling in Remote Mode

If trigger conditions are satisfied for several scripts simultaneously, one script
is picked for execution, while the others are placed in a queue. The first script
is run to completion, and then the other scripts are executed in turn. However,
if the script’s stop trigger becomes true while the script is waiting in the
queue, that script is not executed at all.

276
 Chapter 23. TEMS Pocket Remote

The general advice that can be given here is to take care to compose triggers
that make good sense and do not conflict unnecessarily.

23.5. Logfile Upload in Remote Mode

Please note that in TEMS Pocket Remote, uploading of logfiles is still
performed by means of the Logfile Upload script action (see section 9.6.2),
just as in Professional. Therefore, if no script having a Logfile Upload action is
active on the client, no logfiles will be uploaded.

24. Multi-device TEMS Pocket

This chapter describes the features and functionality of the TEMS Pocket
multi-device configuration.

24.1. System Overview

In the multi-device configuration, one TEMS Pocket device called the
controller is used to remote-control up to seven other devices, called
agents. The communication takes place via Bluetooth. From the controller
you can assign scripts and map sets to agents, order agents to start and stop
measuring, and monitor agents’ status. The controller device should
preferably be a tablet, but it can also be an ordinary phone. (To keep the
layout compact, screenshots from phones are mostly used in this chapter.)

The controller’s user interface is mostly limited to the functions just

mentioned, plus the indoor and outdoor map views. Agents, too, have a very
trimmed-down user interface compared to that of TEMS Pocket in regular
Local mode. Both are described in what follows.

278
 Chapter 24. Multi-device TEMS Pocket

24.2. Work Modes and Licensing

TEMS Pocket units in a multi-device configuration operate in special work
modes: Controller and Agent, respectively. These are separate from both
Local mode and Remote mode (as laid out in chapter 25), and the Controller
mode requires a special license option (see section 3.4.1).
On each device in a multi-device configuration, you need to set the work
mode the first time you start TEMS Pocket. One device is then designated as
controller, and all other devices as agents. How to do this is gone through in
section 24.3.

24.2.1. Availability in Product Packages

The multi-device configuration is available in TEMS Pocket product packages
as follows:

Work Mode/ Profes-

Standard Lite Remote
Package sional

Controller Optional Optional Optional

Agent Included Optional Included

Note especially that the controller can be a TEMS Pocket Lite device. Using a
Lite license for the controller allows it to run on any tablet, and not only on
TEMS Pocket Professional tablets.
Compare section 4.1 regarding product packages generally.

24.2.2. Controller and Agent States

The controller can be either active or inactive, and the following actions can
be performed in each state:
• Inactive: Add/remove agents; configure scripts.
• Active: Connect/disconnect agents; configure scripts, run scripts; start/
stop pinpointing.

An agent can likewise be active or inactive, and the following actions can be
performed in each state:
• Inactive: Make agent discoverable.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 279

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

• Active: Make agent discoverable; once discoverable, agent will accept

connection request from controller.

How to switch between the states is covered in section 24.3.

24.3. Initial Configuration

24.3.1. Initial Configuration of Agents

For each agent, work through the following steps:
• Tap Settings on the phone.
• Set Bluetooth on.

It is a good idea to give each agent a user-friendly Bluetooth device name, so

that you can easily tell the agents apart in the controller. On Sony phones,
this is done as follows:
• Tap the Bluetooth item.
• Tap the Menu button on the device to open the Bluetooth settings menu at
the bottom of the screen.
• From that menu, select Rename device.

• Give the device a name of your choice,

then tap OK.

On LG and Samsung devices, the procedure is different:

• In the regular menu system, go to:
– (LG) Settings  About phone  Phone name

280
 Chapter 24. Multi-device TEMS Pocket

– (Samsung) Settings  More (or General)  About device 

Device name
and enter a new name there.

After renaming the device, continue as follows:

• Start TEMS Pocket.
Tap the Overflow button, then tap Pocket Mode.

• In the bottom section, select Agent, and

tap OK.

You are now ready to activate the device:

Tap the Start button and select Activate.

You also need to make the agent discoverable so that the controller can
find it.
Tap the Start button and select Make discoverable.

• In the permission request dialog that

appears, tap Yes.

24.3.2. Initial Configuration of Controller

Tap the Overflow button, then tap Pocket Mode.

• In the bottom section, select Controller, and tap OK.

Turn on Bluetooth:

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 281

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

• Tap Settings on the device.

• Set Bluetooth on.

• You may want to give the controller a user-defined Bluetooth name just
like the agents. This is done in the same way as described in
section 24.3.1.
Tap the Start button and select Start Discovery to find the agents.

• Wait a few seconds until the agents show up in the Found Devices list.
Please note that all Bluetooth devices that are within range will appear in
this list, not just your TEMS Pocket agents.
• Tap the Add button for each agent.
• If an agent does not appear in this list,
issue the Make discoverable command
once more on the agent (see
section 24.3.1) and repeat the discovery
procedure on the controller as just
described.

When you have added all agents, tap the Start button and select Stop
Discovery.
The Controlled Agents view is populated with the agents you have added.

282
 Chapter 24. Multi-device TEMS Pocket

If you have added an agent that you are not going to use any more, you can
remove it as follows:
• Select the agent in the Controlled Agents
view so that the list item is expanded and
the control buttons are exposed. Then tap
the Remove button.

• Finally, activate the controller:

Tap the Start button and select Activate.

24.4. Connecting to the Agents in the Controller

To connect one agent to the controller:
• Select the agent in the Controlled Agents view to expand the agent list
item.
• Tap the Connect button.
• Wait until the connection is established.

To connect all agents to the controller in a single action:

Tap the Actions button and select Connect All.

When an agent is connected, its connection

icon turns green, and the status icons are
colored according to the agent’s current status.
For details, see section 24.11.
The number of connected agents, and the total
number of agents controlled, are indicated in
the header of the Controlled Agents view.

You can tap the Poke button of a connected agent to verify which physical
device it represents. The agent device will then vibrate and display a toast
“Notification from controller”. This function can be useful when you are
handling multiple devices and need to remind yourself of which is which.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 283

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

All connected agents also appear at the bottom

of the navigation menu under the heading
Connected Agents. If no agent is connected,
the text “No agents...” is displayed in the
navigation menu. Compare section 24.11.8.

24.5. Disconnecting from Agents in the Controller

To disconnect one agent from the controller:
• Select the agent in the Controlled Agents view to expand the agent list
item.
• Tap the Disconnect button.
• Wait until the device is disconnected.

To disconnect all agents from the controller:

Tap the Actions button and select Disconnect All.

24.6. Synchronizing GPS Between Controller and

Agents (Optional)
From the controller you can assign the controller’s GPS position to all agents,
overriding the agents’ own reported GPS positions:
Tap the Settings button and select Settings  General  GPS.

• Check the option Synchronize GPS to all agents.

The purpose of such an action is twofold:
• to ensure that the controller and all agents share the exact same position
in recordings;
• to eliminate any possible problems with inferior GPS reception inside the
backpack where the agents are typically installed.

284
 Chapter 24. Multi-device TEMS Pocket

The controller may take its position either from its built-in GPS or from an
external Bluetooth GPS (see section 18.3). In the former case, when GPS
synchronization is active, the controller GPS is turned on automatically when
you start a measurement on one of the agents.

24.7. Assigning Unique Device IDs to Agents

(Optional)
Each agent (and a connected external scanner if present) can be assigned a
unique “EQn” identity to help distinguish devices during post-processing in
other TEMS products. See sections 19.2.4, 19.2.5.

24.8. Composing Scripts

Composing scripts in the controller is done exactly as in Local mode and is
not detailed here. See chapter 9.
What needs to be kept in mind, however, is that the controller lets you
compose any type of script action, while running that action on an agent
requires that the agent a) support the action type and b) have the appropriate
license for it. You need to keep track of this yourself. If an agent is unable to
execute an action, the action will simply fail.

24.9. Assigning Scripts to Agents

From the controller you can either assign a common script to be run on all
agents, or you can assign script to agents individually.

24.9.1. Assigning a Common Script to All Agents

Tap the Actions button and select Select Common Script.

• Pick the desired script and tap Select.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 285

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

24.9.2. Assigning a Script to a Single Agent

To assign a script to a single agent:
• In the Controlled Agents view, tap the agent’s Script button.
• Select the script that you want to run on this
agent.
• If you just want to make the selection for
now and leave the measurement for later,
tap Select.
• If you want to the agent to start measuring
according to this script right away, tap
Start. See also section 24.10.

24.10. Starting and Stopping Scripts on Agents

You can start measurement on all agents at the same time by tapping
the Start button, then selecting Start Measuring. Each agent will then
begin to execute its assigned script (whether the scripts are different or
a common script is used by all agents).
Stopping measurement on all agents is done analogously by tapping
the Start button and selecting Stop Measuring.
How to start a script on a single agent is described in section 24.9.2. To stop
the script, perform the same actions once more and tap the Stop button that
will appear in this situation.

24.11.5. “Agent Scanner Status” View

In the Controller category is also found a view called Agent Scanner Status.
It gives an overview of the scanning being performed by all agents by means
of connected external scanners.

24.11.6. “Agent Script Progress” View

Under Test Status is found the Agent Script
Progress view, which shows more detailed
data on the progress of an agent’s script
execution. It is similar to the regular Script
Progress data view described in
section 5.10.1, except that the agent name has
been added. The agent presented is the one
selected as current (see section 24.11.8).
As in Local mode, you can click a button
representing a service type to access the
corresponding service-specific progress view.

24.11.7. Indoor Map and Outdoor Map Views

The controller map views show the same contents as the corresponding
views on the agent selected as current (see section 24.11.8); that is, the route
of that agent is tracked in the usual manner, as described in chapters 7 and 8.
If you switch to a different current agent, the map views are blanked, except
that waypoints created in the Indoor Map view will remain.

 Chapter 24. Multi-device TEMS Pocket

24.11.8. Selecting a Current Agent

The Agent Script Progress view, the service-specific progress views, and the
map views can only show one agent at a time.
You select this agent by tapping it in the
navigation menu under Connected Agents.
That agent is then displayed as Selected
Agent in the header of the Controlled Agents
view. It is also marked by a blue vertical line in
the navigation menu.

At the outset, the agent at the top of the Connected Agents list is selected as
current.

24.12. Status Views Displayed on Agents

Besides a subset of the regular Local mode data views, agents exhibit the
following views which show various aspects of their current status and
configuration.

24.12.2. “Agent Configuration” View

Agent Configuration section
Agent Name: Bluetooth name given to the
agent device during initial configuration (or at
any point later on); see section 24.3.1.
Agent ID: Unique identifier (Bluetooth MAC
address) of agent device.
Active Pocket Session: TEMS Pocket
session currently active, if any (started on the
controller). See chapter 11.

Controller Configuration section

Here the controller device currently controlling
the agent is identified.
Controller Name: Bluetooth name of
controller device.
Controller ID: Unique identifier (Bluetooth
MAC address) of controller device.

24.13. Pinpointing
When pinpointing in multi-device mode, you mark the waypoints in the
controller’s Indoor Map view. These positions are then pushed out to all
agents, so that the logfile recorded by each agent will include both the map
set used and the waypoints created.

24.13.1. Preparations
What you need to do in terms of preparations is a) to load a map set and b) to
select a script to run.
• First make sure that all agents are connected. See section 24.4.
• On the controller device, tap the Location icon. The Indoor Map view
appears.
Loading a map set is done just as described in section 7.2:
Tap the Actions button and select Load Map Set.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 293

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

• Select the map set that you want to use.

• Tap Load. The map is loaded into the Indoor Map view.
Then assign scripts to the agents: either a common script to all of them, or a
unique script to each agent. Turn to section 24.9 for details.

24.13.2. Walking a Route and Measuring

To begin your route, tap the Start button and select Start Pinpointing.

The first time you use a map set, it must first be downloaded to all agents,
which may take some time. Please wait until all agents have received the
map set.
If the map set is large, it may be a good idea to store the map set in advance
locally on the agents, eliminating the need to transfer it over Bluetooth.
• Next, start the script you want to run. (You must defer this until after
starting pinpointing, for the reasons explained in section 7.3.2.)
Tap the Start button and select Start Measuring.

• Now walk your route and mark waypoints in the Indoor Map view as you
go, just as in Local mode. You can delete waypoints if needed. Please
refer to section 7.3.
The waypoints are distributed to all agents, so that they all receive identical
positioning data. You cannot do any pinpointing directly on the agents;
however, the waypoints received from the controller are shown in each
agent’s Location view.
When you have completed your route, tap the Start button and select
Stop Pinpointing. This will also unload the map set from the agents.
To stop your script, tap the Start button and select Stop Measuring.

24.14. Storing of Logfiles

Logfiles recorded by the agents are stored locally on each agent device, as
detailed in section 4.4.1. There is no automatic transfer of logfiles from the
agents to the controller (this would be very slow and time-consuming over
Bluetooth). However, you can use the Logfile Upload script action (see
section 9.6.2) to transfer logfiles wherever you wish, just as in Local mode.

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

To be able to switch modes, the TEMS Pocket device must be basically “idle”.
That is:
• In Local mode, no script, logfile recording/replay, or pinpointing can be
active.
• In Remote mode, the client must be offline.
• In Agent or Controller mode, the device must be deactivated.

The Pocket Mode menu option is visible only if the device is equipped with
license options allowing it to actually switch between settings: for example,
between {Professional, Local} and {Professional, Remote}. Otherwise, the
Pocket Mode option is hidden. If it is present, the dialog may still contain
fewer choices that the full set shown above, again as dictated by the license
options on the device.

27. Configuration of DRT

Transmitter

TEMS Pocket can be used in conjunction with a DRT4302A+ test transmitter.

Such a transmitter can be included in the TEMS Pocket product package.
The DRT transmitter is controlled from a PC, to which it can be connected
directly by means of a cable, over a local area network, or via Wi-Fi. The
instructions that follow tell how to configure the transmitter and the PC in
each case.

27.1. Setting Up the Transmitter

Before you begin, you need to install the Nome application, which functions
as the transmitter’s user interface, on the PC. Along with it, another
application Yukon4k is installed which is used for configuring the
transmitter’s network connection.
1. After installing the above software, start Yukon4k. This application will
find the DRT transmitter automatically and present its name as shown
in the screenshot below.

298
 Chapter 27. Configuration of DRT Transmitter

2. On the IP Address tab you can set IP addresses for Ethernet and Wi-
Fi. The adapter for Ethernet is “eth0” and by default uses the IP address
192.168.1.100. The Wi-Fi adapter is called “eth1” and uses the default
IP address 192.168.2.100.
3. If you are going to connect to the transmitter via Ethernet, then for
Adapter = “eth0” you need to select Obtain an IP Address
automatically and click the Set Unit IP Configuration button.
Compare section 27.3.
4. To be able to access the transmitter over Wi-Fi, enter appropriate
settings on the WiFi Settings tab:
• ESSID: Wi-Fi network name.
• Channel: Select an unused channel in the range 1 ... 10.
• Mode: Always Ad-Hoc. The transmitter’s Wi-Fi (802.11b/g)
interface operates in an “ad-hoc” (peer-to-peer) configuration; the
interface currently does not support the Wi-Fi “infrastructure” mode
of operation. Control is determined when the unit is powered on.
Note that any device that is going to receive signals from the DRT
transmitter must support the “ad-hoc” mode of operation.
• Security: “None” or WEP.
• Key: If WEP is used, enter the WEP key here.
When you are done entering the parameters, click the Set Wireless
Configuration button.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 299

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

5. If you want to change between Ethernet and Wi-Fi connection mode,

you must reboot the transmitter. See section 27.1.1 below.

27.1.1. Changing between Ethernet and Wi-Fi Network

Configuration Modes
On power-up or boot, the transmitter checks to see if there is an Ethernet
cable connected to the DATA connector. If an Ethernet cable is present, the
unit is configured to use that cable for control; if not, it selects Wi-Fi for
communications.
To switch between these modes, it is necessary to turn off power to the
transmitter and plug in or plug out the Ethernet cable as appropriate. Then
power on the unit again, and the networking mode will be selected as just
described.

27.2. Configuring the PC for Direct Connection

The DRT transmitter is shipped configured for a direct connection, with the
static IP address 192.168.1.100 assigned to its Ethernet (“eth0”) adapter. The
PC’s Ethernet adapter must likewise have its TCP/IP address configured as
static and in the range 192.168.1.nnn, where nnn is any number between 1
and 255 except 100.
Follow these steps:

300
 Chapter 27. Configuration of DRT Transmitter

1. Access the Windows user interface showing your network connections:

• (Windows 7) Start  Control Panel  Network and Sharing
Center  Change Adapter Settings
• (Windows Vista) Start  Settings Network Connections
• (Windows XP) Start  Connect To  Show All Connections.
2. Double-click Local Area Connection.
• Click the Properties button. (Not applicable for Windows 7.)
3. In the box below “This connection uses the following items:”, select:
• (Windows 7/Vista) “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)”
• (Windows XP) “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)”.
• Then click the Properties button.
4. Select “Use the following IP address”. Under IP address, enter
192.168.1.100. Under Subnet mask, enter 255.255.255.0. Then click
OK.
5. Connect the transmitter to the PC’s Ethernet port with a crossover
100Base-T cable.

27.3. Configuring the PC for LAN Connection

As explained in section 27.1, step 3, the Ethernet adapter of the DRT
transmitter needs to be set to “obtain an IP address automatically”. You need
to change this setting on the PC as well.
Follow these steps:
1. Access the Windows user interface showing your network connections:
• (Windows 7) Start  Control Panel  Network and Sharing
Center  Change Adapter Settings
• (Windows Vista) Start  Settings Network Connections
• (Windows XP) Start  Connect To  Show All Connections.
2. Double-click Local Area Connection and click the Properties button.
3. In the box below “This connection uses the following items:”, select:
• (Windows 7/Vista) “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)”
• (Windows XP) “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)”.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 301

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

4. Select “Obtain an IP address automatically”.

5. Select “Obtain DNS server address automatically”. Then click OK.
6. Connect the PC and the transmitter to available Ethernet ports on the
same subnet of the LAN with normal (non-crossover) 100Base-T
cables. If the remote location is not on the same subnet, then a VPN
connection may be used to create an extended virtual subnet that can
host the transmitter as if it were on a local subnet.

27.4. Verifying the Configuration

Here is how to confirm and troubleshoot the connection to the transmitter.
Before you begin, make sure your firewall is disabled.
1. Connect the Ethernet cable or cables as described in sections 27.2 and
27.3.
2. Open a Windows command prompt (select Start  Run, enter cmd,
and press Enter).
3. Ping the unit by typing the command ping drt4302snaaaa, where aaaa
is the serial number of the device, and observe if responses are
received.
4. If no response occurs, you may use Wireshark to capture the Ethernet
traffic and determine the unit’s current IP address. Enter the filter term
nbns.flags == 0x2910 to isolate the Netbios Naming Service registration
messages sent out by the transmitter. The IP address will be included in
the message from the transmitter.

27.5. Configuring Transmitter Cell Information

There are two ways to connect to the DRT transmitter and set up its cell
information: through Nome or through a web interface.

27.5.1. Configuring the Transmitter Using Nome

1. Start Nome and wait for the application to find the DRT transmitter.
When found, it appears in the list box.

302
 Chapter 27. Configuration of DRT Transmitter

2. Select the DRT transmitter in the list, and click Connect. A new screen
appears where you configure transmitter settings.

3. In the top section highlighted in the screenshot above, you can

configure the following (letters refer to labels added in red):

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 303

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

• A: Cellular technology, GSM or WCDMA.

• B: Modulation On or Off. Mod On means that the transmitter mimics
a GSM or WCDMA downlink channel. Mod Off means that a CW
signal is transmitted.
• C: RF Off = transmission turned off; RF On = transmission turned
on.
• D: Output power, configurable in the range –20 ... +21 dBm.
4. Protocol Specific section (E): Here you set what band and (U)ARFCN
to use, along with other cell parameters.

27.5.2. Configuring the Transmitter Using Web Interface

The web browser used to access the DRT transmitter interface must support
Ajax, for example: Internet Explorer 8 or later, Firefox 3.0.17, Firefox 3.6.3.

1. Connect to the transmitter with a web browser by entering the URL

http://drt4302snaaaa, where aaaa is the serial number of the device.
Alternatively, you can also enter the IP address for the transmitter: by
default, http://192.168.1.100 for Ethernet or http://192.168.2.100 for Wi-
Fi.
2. The web browser interface looks somewhat different from the Nome
application. Click the Tx Configuration link to set transmission
parameters (left-hand screenshot below); compare section 27.5.1,
step 3. Clicking the Unit Status link displays device status information,
as shown in the screenshot on the right.

Appendix E. Cell File Format

An XML cell file imported into TEMS Pocket must include the tags shown in
the example below. Position data is syntactically optional, but is of course
required for plotting of cells in the Outdoor Map view.
The tag names are all self-explanatory; in this example, one cell each is
defined for GSM, WCDMA, LTE, and CDMA1. This data is a subset of the
XML cell file format used in TEMS Investigation; see TEMS Investigation
Technical Reference, chapter “Format of XML Cell File”.
Please note that TEMS Pocket can only display characters from the
Extended ASCII set. Characters outside that set will appear as question
marks “?” in the TEMS Pocket user interface.

Appendix F. Cell Identification

This appendix describes the algorithms used by TEMS Pocket to identify

network cells with entries in a cell file. For the cell file format, see appendix E.
The following procedure is used to find a matching cell:
• Try to match cell parameters in the cell file, also considering the
geographical position of the sample. Specifically:
– For a GSM cell, ARFCN and BSIC.
– For a WCDMA cell, UARFCN and SC.
– For an LTE cell, EARFCN and PCI + PCIG.
– For a CDMA cell, RF channel and PN offset.
• A position is considered valid if the distance to the cell is less than
100 km.
• If multiple matches are found within a 100 km radius, the closest cell is
picked.
• If the position is invalid, no result is returned unless a unique match is
found in the cell file.

 Appendix H. The TEMS Capability Control App

H.1. LTE EARFCN/PCI Lock

The effect of this function is to lock the device
to one PCI on a given EARFCN. The lock
persists in idle as well as connected mode.
• To apply the lock, check LTE EARFCN/PCI
lock, enter values for EARFCN and PCI,
and tap the Apply or Apply & reboot
button.
If the button reads Apply & reboot, the TEMS
Pocket device needs to be rebooted to enable
the lock, and that is done automatically when
you tap the button.
Note: If you are making use of the device’s
internal GPS, the device must always be
rebooted; otherwise the internal GPS will stop
delivering data.
For the PCI lock to come into effect, you also
need to RAT lock the device to LTE within
TEMS Pocket, as described in section 13.3.

• To release the PCI lock, uncheck the LTE EARFCN/PCI lock box, and tap
Apply [& reboot] once again.
There is no collision between this function and the LTE EARFCN lock control
function within TEMS Pocket (see section 13.6), because no device has both.

NT14-38938 ver 1.0 323

TEMS Pocket 14.4 User’s Manual

H.2. Disabling LTE Inter-frequency Handover

The effect of this function is to disable or re-
enable LTE inter-frequency handover: that is,
handover from one EARFCN to another.
This function is intended to be used in
conjunction with the LTE EARFCN Lock control
function, as explained in section 13.6. With LTE
inter-frequency handover disabled, the TEMS
Pocket device is forced in connected mode to
stay on the EARFCN it has been locked on
while in idle mode.
The TEMS Pocket device needs to be rebooted
for a change in handover behavior to take
effect. This is done automatically when you tap
the Apply & reboot button. Note that once LTE
inter-frequency handover has been disabled, no
further reboot is required on any occasion when
you apply an LTE EARFCN lock.

H.3. WCDMA UARFCN Lock

The effect of this function is to lock the device to
a specified UARFCN.
• To apply the lock, check WCDMA UARFCN
lock, enter a number, and tap Apply.
No RAT lock to WCDMA within TEMS Pocket is
required in conjunction with the UARFCN lock;
however, to ensure that the UARFCN lock is
applied right away, you must of course force the
device to WCDMA in this manner.
If the phone is not RAT locked but connects to a
WCDMA network anyway later on, a previously
applied UARFCN lock will come into effect at
that time.

• To release the lock, uncheck WCDMA UARFCN lock and tap Apply once
more.
This function is independent of “Disable WCDMA handover” (section H.4).

324
 Appendix H. The TEMS Capability Control App

H.4. Disabling WCDMA Handover

This function suppresses the measurement
reports normally sent from the device to the
WCDMA network, thus preventing any
handovers ordered on the basis of such
reports (intra-frequency as well as inter-
frequency). This is equivalent to locking the
device on its current UARFCN and SC while in
dedicated mode. The function does not have
any effect on cell reselection in idle mode.
• To apply the function, check Disable
WCDMA handover (PSC lock) and tap the
Apply button.

• To restore normal WCDMA handover behavior, uncheck the “Disable ...”

box and tap Apply once more.
This function is independent of “WCDMA UARFCN lock” (section H.3).

Appendix I. Using TEMS Pocket as

Data Collector for iBwave Mobile
Planner

TEMS Pocket can be used as an indoor data-collecting application by iBwave

Mobile Planner.
• From Mobile Planner it is possible to initiate a pinpointing session in
TEMS Pocket (which will be started up if it is not already running).
• If the Mobile Planner project contains multiple maps, you are prompted in
the TEMS Pocket user interface to choose which map to work with.
• Proceed to pinpoint your route in the usual manner.
• When you stop pinpointing, a TEMS Pocket logfile is created normally.
However, a subset of that data is also relayed to Mobile Planner, where it
can be imported into the current project.

Note: The duration of the logging done for Mobile Planner is limited to
one hour. If the pinpointing session lasts longer than that, only
data from the last hour will be captured in the log.
