Chapter 1. Introduction

1. Introduction

Welcome to TEMS Pocket.


TEMS Pocket is an advanced cellular network diagnostics tool built into a
mobile phone. TEMS Pocket is suitable for day-to-day verification,
maintenance and troubleshooting of cellular networks but is also handy for
many cell planning tasks.
This document describes TEMS Pocket 7.3 (product packages Professional
and Premium) as implemented in the Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a
phones which support both GSM and WCDMA. A separate manual is
provided for the GSM-only Sony Ericsson W995 EDGE phone.

1.1. What’s New in TEMS Pocket 7.3


TEMS Pocket 7.3 is based on the same Sony Ericsson handsets as TEMS
Pocket 7.2 (W995/W995a/W995 EDGE) and is available as an upgrade for
TEMS Pocket 7.2 users.

1.1.1. Presentation of Cell Names


In TEMS Pocket 7.3 it is possible to present cells by name in the realtime
data views. The cell names are retrieved from an XML-format cell file that the
user imports into the TEMS Pocket application; the cell presentation can then
be toggled between cell name and CGI. Two new data views listing cells by
name (one for GSM and one for WCDMA) are also introduced in order to
further amplify the overview of the network structure.

1.1.2. Event-based Logfile Sifting


This feature allows the user to set up criteria for what logfiles will be saved
during passive monitoring of user sessions, or when a command sequence is
running. For example, the user can choose to save only logfiles containing a
failure event. Storing logfiles more selectively like this allows users to focus
their analysis precisely on the data that is most relevant in the context.

1.1.3. Improved Logfile Naming


The naming of logfiles recorded by TEMS Pocket has been made more
structured and elaborate, simplifying and speeding up analysis of the files.
The logfile name now indicates:
• Occurrence of failure event (if any)
• Type of measurement
• Manually added tag (if any)
• Date and time

1.1.4. Coexistence with MRU (Mobile Receiving Unit)


TEMS Pocket 7.3 can reside on a TEMS Investigation phone which also has
MRU (Mobile Receiving Unit) software installed. This has previously not been
possible.
The MRU acts as a receiver when performing voice quality (PESQ)
measurements with TEMS Investigation or TEMS Automatic. With TEMS
Pocket installed on the same device, it is possible to use TEMS Pocket
features such as lock on cell and passive voice measurement while the
device is functioning as an MRU.

1.2. What Was New in TEMS Pocket 7.2

1.2.1. New UMTS Phones: Sony Ericsson W995/W995a


TEMS Pocket 7.2 is implemented on the Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a
phones. They are the first Sony Ericsson phones that officially support
HSUPA (EUL). Some further key features of these devices are:
• GSM/GPRS quad-band (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)
• WCDMA/HSPA 7.2 Mbit/s DL, 2 Mbit/s UL
– W995: 900/2100 MHz
– W995a: 850/1900/2100 MHz
• 8.1 megapixel camera
• Integrated GPS

Chapter 1. Introduction

1.2.2. New GSM Phone: Sony Ericsson W995 EDGE


TEMS Pocket 7.2 is also available on the GSM-only version of the W995
phone, which is called Sony Ericsson W995 EDGE. Key features are:
• GSM/GPRS quad-band (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)
• EDGE Class 10

1.2.3. Scanning (GSM and WCDMA)


TEMS Pocket 7.2 introduced the capability of scanning GSM and WCDMA
networks.
Supported bands are as follows:
• Sony Ericsson W995: GSM 850/900/1800/1900; WCDMA 900/2100
• Sony Ericsson W995a: GSM 850/900/1800/1900; WCDMA 850/1900/
2100
• Sony Ericsson W995 EDGE: GSM 850/900/1800/1900
For GSM, RSSI scanning is done either across an entire band or of a user-
selected set of up to 200 ARFCNs. The ARFCNs can be picked from arbitrary
bands. BSIC decoding helps identify the signal source.
For WCDMA, two scanning modes are provided: network scan and CPICH
scan.
• In network scan mode, TEMS Pocket will scan a user-selected band for
UARFCNs where a CPICH can be decoded. The main purpose of this
scan mode is to detect network presence; UARFCNs found by the
network scan can be added to the CPICH scan list.
• In CPICH scan mode, the current top ten CPICHs are presented from
each scanned UARFCN. Up to 12 UARFCNs can be scanned.
The scan presentation has been carefully designed to provide a
comprehensive view of all scanned channels, ensuring that no significant
signals are overlooked, while also allowing close-up inspection of individual
channels.

1.2.4. Command Sequence Enhancements


The command sequence function was greatly expanded and enhanced in this
release. New features were:

LZT 138 0240 R2A 3


TEMS Pocket 7.3 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s Manual

• Actions for HTTP, streaming, and idle mode. Regarding streaming, see
section 1.2.5 below.
• Multiple actions (up to 10) can be strung together in one command
sequence.
• Multiple command sequences (up to 10) can be defined.
• Default settings for each action type can be saved; new actions are
initialized with these defaults.
• Actions contain an option for applying control functions while the action is
executed, for instance locking on a band and/or cell.
• Logfile recording can be set on or off for each command sequence.
• For voice and video calls, a redial option can be activated which causes
any dropped or blocked calls to be redialed automatically.
• Logfile upload can be done after each loop through a command
sequence.
• A new data view is provided which presents the current status of a
command sequence that is being executed. The information given
includes the expected remaining duration of current action and the next
action to follow.
• All command sequence settings can be exported to file and imported.

1.2.5. Streaming
TEMS Pocket 7.2 can test video streaming over the RTSP protocol by means
of the phone’s integrated media player. Data can be streamed from a user-
defined URL through an access point that is likewise user-configurable. The
media presentation can be customized in various respects (hide/show video;
audio on/off). A new command sequence action is provided for streaming; it
lets the user put a cap on the duration of the streaming session.
Streaming performance data is displayed in the TEMS Pocket data views just
as for previously supported services such as FTP.

1.2.6. Passive Measurement


Automatic recording of logfiles was renamed “passive measurement”. This
kind of measurement is configured separately for each service type (voice,
FTP, and so on). For HTTP and streaming, a privacy option is provided which
suppresses recording of what URLs are visited.

Chapter 1. Introduction

1.2.7. New GPS


The GPS that could optionally be ordered with TEMS Pocket 7.2 is the
GlobalSat BT-359.

1.2.8. Data Upload over WiFi


Data upload can alternatively be done over WiFi whenever a WiFi access
point is available.
The TEMS Pocket phone is capable of searching for available WiFi networks,
and the user can select any WiFi bearer thus detected for uploading TEMS
Pocket data to an FTP server.

1.2.9. HSPA Data View


The HSDPA Data view has been expanded with HSUPA-specific information
and renamed “HSPA Data”. Among this information may be noted average E-
TFCI, average Serving Grant Index, average transport block size, and UE
happy rate.

1.2.10. WCDMA AMR Data View


A new data view (“WCDMA AMR”) has been created for showing AMR
speech codec usage in WCDMA. Both AMR-NB (narrowband) and AMR-WB
(wideband) appear in the view, which is broadly similar to the GSM AMR data
view already present.

1.3. What Was New in TEMS Pocket 7.0


(TEMS Pocket 7.1 is a Nokia-based release.)

1.3.1. Phones: Sony Ericsson C905, C905a


TEMS Pocket 7.0 is implemented on the Sony Ericsson C905 and C905a
phones. Their features include:
• GSM/GPRS quad-band
• HSDPA/WCDMA 2100 MHz (C905); 850/1900/2100 MHz (C905a)
• HSDPA 7.2 Mbit/s on downlink

TEMS Pocket 7.3 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s Manual

• 8.1 megapixel camera


• Integrated GPS

1.3.2. Map View and Pinpointing


The map view was the principal new feature in TEMS Pocket 7.0. It allows
users to pinpoint their route through a building on a floor plan. The setup is
fast and easy:
• Obtain an image of the floor plan. For example, use the camera in the
TEMS Pocket phone to take a photo of the emergency/evacuation plan
displayed in the building.
• Load the picture as a background image in the Map view.
• Start pinpointing your position in the building. A logfile will be opened
automatically. Pinpoint at regular intervals along the route and whenever
you change direction.
• When you are done with the measurement, give a “Stop pinpointing”
command. The logfile will close.
This is the full list of steps required to use the TEMS Pocket Map view. No
messy or time-consuming preparations have been left out: none are needed.
Before post-processing the data, it just needs to be anchored to a
geographical position. This is accomplished in a tick with a software utility
accompanying TEMS Pocket. The logfiles are then ready to be loaded into
TEMS Presentation or TEMS Investigation.
The map functionality is available as an option in the Professional package.

1.3.3. Data Views with Graphs


TEMS Pocket 7.0 comes equipped with a set of graph views showing how
radio parameters vary over time. These line charts were an entirely new
feature in TEMS Pocket 7.0, but they are similar to the ones found in TEMS
Investigation and TEMS Presentation. All graphs come predefined and ready
to use without any need for configuration.

1.3.4. Smarter Logfile Upload


The data upload process was improved: If the FTP connection goes down,
the upload of a logfile can optionally be resumed from where it was

6
Chapter 1. Introduction

interrupted instead of being restarted from the beginning. The new procedure
cuts upload times and saves phone battery life, enhancing the efficiency and
power of the tool.

1.3.5. Cell Id Presentation


Cell Identity data is presented in both idle and dedicated/connected mode for
both GSM and WCDMA. This is achieved by buffering Cell Identities in idle
mode and then correlating the buffered data with the phone’s position in
dedicated/connected mode. The buffer is cleared when the phone is
restarted.

1.3.6. Snapshots of Data Views


A display snapshot function was added which enables you to capture TEMS
Pocket data views in the form of bitmap images. The snapshot function is
perfect for instantly capturing your own user’s view of the network. It can also
be used to produce receipts handed in by staff to confirm completion of field
measurement tasks. This too contributes to efficiency and reduces traveling
expenses.

1.3.7. Importing and Exporting TEMS Pocket Settings


More aspects of user configuration in TEMS Pocket can be saved to file:
command sequence setups, user-configured map views, and more. Each
setup is saved in a separate file which can be imported into the application on
a later occasion. This functionality permits convenient distribution of test
setups to multiple TEMS Pocket units.

2. Overview of TEMS Pocket

2.1. Phone Mode vs. Scan Mode


TEMS Pocket has two main working modes.
• Phone mode: The TEMS Pocket device acts as a regular phone, and
measurement data is collected relating to GSM and WCDMA networks
and to voice and data services in which the phone engages.
• Scan mode: The TEMS Pocket device acts as a scanner capable of
detecting GSM and WCDMA signals and decoding BSICs/CPICH
scrambling codes.
You select working mode in the Activity menu under Operational mode. See
section 7.1.
The scanning functionality is dealt with in chapter 19. Everything else in this
manual applies to phone mode, or is common to both modes. Chapter 19
explains what functions the two modes share, giving references to other parts
of the manual where appropriate.

2.2. Data Views


Most of the data displayed by TEMS Pocket is to be found in data views.
When you turn the phone on for the first time, it will display the W/G Cells
data view:

8
Chapter 2. Overview of TEMS Pocket

On later occasions, when turned on, the phone will display the data view last
inspected, provided that the TEMS Pocket operational mode is set to Active
(see section 7.1).
The data views are divided into categories from 1 to 5. Each data view is
numbered according to the format “x.y”, where “x” is the category and “y” the
position of the data view within that category. You browse the categories by
moving the navigation key left and right, and the data views within a category
by moving the navigation key up and down. TEMS Pocket remembers the
view last displayed in each category; when you return to a category, that view
is shown.
The top section of the display preserves the ordinary signal strength and
battery power level indicators as well as other symbols belonging to the
regular user interface of the phone. Among the latter are:

A “3G” symbol indicating that the phone’s current serving cell supports
WCDMA R99 (but not HSDPA).

An “H” symbol indicating that the current serving cell supports HSDPA.

The top section of the display also shows various icons related to TEMS
Pocket operation. They include:
• an icon indicating that a logfile is being recorded (see section 7.3)
• an icon indicating that a logfile is being replayed, and the status of the
replay (see section 7.4.2)
• an icon indicating that a cell control function is currently applied (see
section 9)
• an icon for the latest TEMS Pocket event that occurred (if it occurred
within the last 15 minutes; see section 10.4).
If the default phone display with the operator name appears instead of a
TEMS Pocket data view, this is because TEMS Pocket has been put in
background or inactive mode (see section 7.1). By default TEMS Pocket is in
active mode, and all of its data views are visible.
The data views are exhaustively described in chapter 3.

2.2.1. Data Views with Graphs


Data views with graphs combine text-format content (similar to that of
ordinary data views) with a line chart showing how one or several parameters

LZT 138 0240 R2A 9


TEMS Pocket 7.3 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s Manual

vary over time. Like the text-only data views, the graph views are predefined.
They are collected in category 5.
The top section of the display has precisely the same layout and behavior as
in text-only data views. See section 2.2.

2.3. Map View


The Map view (no. 1.7) is used for pinpointing a test route on a floor plan or
other map image. See section 2.6.3.

2.4. Menus
When you press the Activity key on the phone, a tab with TEMS Pocket
commands appears on top in the Activity menu:

10
Chapter 2. Overview of TEMS Pocket

Most of the commands in this menu are found only here. The menu is gone
through in chapter 7.
From the Activity menu you can also access the Pocket menu, which is the
chief means of configuring TEMS Pocket: see chapter 8. The Pocket menu
can alternatively be accessed from the phone’s main menu: Settings →
General → Pocket menu.

Note: TEMS Pocket settings are always saved in the phone’s internal
memory. If the phone memory is full, TEMS Pocket settings can
no longer be saved. You then need to remove some files to free
up memory.

2.5. Events
Events are generated and logged by TEMS Pocket to indicate that something
interesting and worthy of note has occurred in the phone’s interaction with the
cellular network.
The event log is inspected and managed from the Pocket menu. See section
10.1. A shortcut to the event log is found in the Activity menu.

2.6. Logfiles

2.6.1. Logfile Recording


You can record data collected by TEMS Pocket in logfiles and replay these
files in TEMS Pocket itself or in TEMS Investigation or TEMS Presentation.
See sections 7.3–7.4 and chapter 14.

LZT 138 0240 R2A 11


TEMS Pocket 7.3 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s Manual

2.6.2. GPS Positioning


TEMS Pocket supports positioning of data using GPS. You can use either the
phone’s internal GPS or an external GPS unit that has been Bluetooth paired
with the phone. See chapter 12.

2.6.3. Positioning by Pinpointing


In an indoor environment or other location without GPS coverage, you can
use the Map view (see section 2.3) to pinpoint your test route. You load an
image of your testing area into the Map view, then indicate your route by
marking waypoints on that map. The map image can also be assigned a
geographical position. For the full details on these procedures, see chapter 6.

2.7. Cell Control Functions


TEMS Pocket has a number of cell control functions for controlling the
phone’s behavior in the cellular network. These include locking the phone to a
RAT, band, cell, or channel. See chapter 9 for full details.

2.8. Command Sequences


TEMS Pocket offers the use of command sequences for automated testing of
various services. See chapter 15.

2.9. Scan Mode


See section 2.1 above and chapter 19.

2.10. Storage Medium: Phone Memory vs. Memory


Stick
In general it is recommendable to use a memory stick rather than the phone’s
internal memory as storage medium (for logfiles, FTP downloads, etc.). This
is because the internal memory of the Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a is
fairly small. The memory stick is the default choice in all dialogs where a
storage medium needs to be selected.

12
Chapter 2. Overview of TEMS Pocket

2.11. Language Support


TEMS Pocket Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a phones support languages
as follows:
• Regular phone user interface: Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin, simplified
characters), Danish, English, French, Norwegian, Spanish, Swedish
• Pocket user interface
– Text display: English
– User input: English

2.12. Turning TEMS Pocket Off


You turn TEMS Pocket on and off by entering the Activity menu and changing
the operational mode: see section 7.1.

3. Data Views: General

3.1. General Data View Properties


The data views in category 1 (numbered “1.x”) are capable of showing both
WCDMA and GSM data. Both will appear simultaneously if the phone is
making inter-RAT neighbor measurements.
The data views in category 2 chiefly contain WCDMA-specific data, and those
in category 3 and 4 chiefly contain GSM- and GPRS/EGPRS-specific data.
The data views in category 5 all include a graph. WCDMA-only, GSM-only,
and combined views are found in this category.
All data views have the same general structure in idle mode and dedicated/
active mode.
Whenever a parameter is currently not valid, this is indicated in the data view
by a dash “–” or a string of dashes.
Certain parameters are presented both numerically and graphically, the
number appearing on top of a colored bar whose length and color depend on
the parameter value. These parameters are tagged “numeric/graphic” in
chapters 4 and 5. The rules for the graphic presentation are found in
appendix B, page 184.
In the case of frequency hopping, the hopping list is shown one channel at a
time, a new channel appearing every second.

3.2. The Built-in Help Function


If you press Options and select “Toggle help”, a callout box appears
describing the piece of data in the top left corner of the screen. Use the
navigation key to navigate the contents of the data view.

14
Chapter 3. Data Views: General

Help not displayed Help displayed

• To turn off the help function, press the C key. Alternatively, press Options
and choose Toggle help again.

3.3. The Capture Function


You can take screenshots of any data view. To do this, you must first turn the
screen capture function on (while in a data view) by selecting Options →
Toggle capture.
Whenever the phone is in standby mode or during a voice call, you can now
take a screenshot by pressing the Capture button. Please note that
screenshots are always stored on the memory card (under Other\Pocket\
Capture), so the phone must have one inserted.
A shutter sound is played when the screenshot is taken. Image files are
named DV<X>-<Y>_<N>.bmp, where <X>-<Y> represent the data view
number and <N> is a counter starting at 1. Up to 1000 screenshots of each
data view can be stored.

3.4. 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.
All data view actions are performed by pressing the Options button and
choosing Data view actions. A submenu appears listing the available actions.

4.26. The WAP Browser Data Views


While the WAP browser (activated from the phone’s main menu → Internet)
is running, TEMS Pocket can show selected air interface information in the
bottom part of the screen. Two WAP browser data views are provided, one for
WCDMA and one for GPRS. You toggle between the views by briefly
pressing the up and down arrow buttons on the left side of the phone. (These
buttons also control the media player volume if the media player is running.)
The WAP browser data views are by default visible.
• During a WAP session, you can hide the data views by pressing Options
and choosing Hide data view. To show them again, press Options and
choose Show data view.
• You can also turn these data views on and off from the Pocket menu; see
section 18.1.
The WAP browser can alternatively be viewed in “landscape” fashion. The
data view then still appears at the bottom (that is, along the left edge of the
phone display when the phone is held in the normal manner). The data view
contents and layout remain unchanged.

5. Data Views with Graphs

The data views in category 5 all contain a graph showing how one or several
parameters evolve over time. In other respects, these data views are similar
to the text-only data views covered in chapter 4.
The unit “m” on the x-axis of each graph means “minutes”.
Events are indicated as vertical lines in graphs. However, an event appears
only if logging is currently turned on for that type of event (see sections 10.1.3
and 10.2).
Data views with graphs have no actions associated with them.

6. The Map View

The Map view enables recording of positions for measurements in indoor


locations and other places where GPS coverage is not available. The
positioning is done by pinpointing the test route in the Map view.
Note that in order to use the pinpointing function, you must have a memory
card with sufficient free space installed on the phone. This is because all
logfile-related data is copied to the memory card in connection with creating
the zip archive. (Other methods of recording a logfile do not require a memory
card.)

6.1. Loading a Map Image into the Map View


• First you need to obtain an image of the environment that is going to be
covered during measurement. For example, use the phone’s camera to
photograph the emergency or evacuation plan for the relevant floor. 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 format.
• Load your image as a background image in the Map view: While in this
view, press Options and select Data view actions → Load map. Locate
the file you want to load, and press Select.

Chapter 6. The Map View

The image now appears in the Map view:

6.2. Pinpointing Your Test Route

6.2.1. Setting the Map Zoom


You can start pinpointing as soon as the map is loaded. However, before
getting started on your test route, it is a good idea to adjust the zoom level of
the Map view so that the pinpointing actions can be performed conveniently.
• In the Map view, press Options and select Data view actions → Map
properties → Zoom. Set the zoom level as appropriate.

6.2.2. Customizing the Appearance of Route Markers


The waypoints that you mark on the map will always be colored blue.
The markers tracing your route between waypoints will by default be color-
coded according to RxLev (in GSM) or UTRA Carrier RSSI (in WCDMA). The

LZT 138 0240 R2A 79


TEMS Pocket 7.3 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s Manual

color coding is explained in appendix B, page 184. You can change to a


different parameter as follows:
• Press Options and select Data view actions → Value element.

• Select the desired parameter.


(“RLC DL”/“RLC UL” means RLC throughput for
WCDMA and RLC/MAC throughput for GSM.)

6.2.3. Entering Map Properties


You can set some text attributes for the map image. The purpose of supplying
this information is to enable geographical positioning of the map image using
the TEMS Pocket Positioning Tool: see section 6.3.
• Press Options and select Data view actions → Map properties.

• Latitude, Longitude: Enter the coordinates of


the top left corner of the map image.
• Address, Building, Floor: Enter the relevant
information.

The parameters are written to an XML file; see section 6.2.4.

6.2.4. Pinpointing and Recording


• To initiate a measurement, press Options and select Data view actions →
Start pinpointing. A crosshair symbol becomes visible, and a logfile is
opened automatically. The fact that the pinpointing is in progress is
indicated by an icon at the top of the display.

80
Chapter 6. The Map View

• To pinpoint a spot on the map, move the crosshairs to the desired


position, then press the Select button.

Note: The screen capture function must be turned off, otherwise the
right soft button will be labeled Capture instead.

• Continue pinpointing at regular intervals along the route, and whenever


you change direction. Consecutive waypoints are automatically
connected by route markers.

• You can undo the latest pinpointing action at any time by pressing the C
button.
• When you are done with the measurement, press Options and select Data
view actions → Stop pinpointing.

LZT 138 0240 R2A 81


TEMS Pocket 7.3 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s Manual

The logfile closes, and the pinpointing icon disappears.


A zip archive is now created holding:
• the logfile (*.log)
• the image loaded into the Map view (*.jpg)
• a file where the pinpointed route is recorded (*.ppf)
• the map properties covered in section 6.2.3 (*.xml)
• an index file detailing the archive contents (.xml).
Please note that such zip archives cannot be replayed as-is in TEMS Pocket.
(They resemble ordinary logfiles in the phone file system, since the phone
does not show file extensions.)

6.3. Positioning the Map Geographically


The description of the test route furnished by pinpointing can be utilized when
viewing TEMS Pocket logfiles in other TEMS tools such as TEMS
Investigation and TEMS Presentation.
Before post-processing the data, however, it needs to be anchored to a
geographical position. This is accomplished by processing the zip archive
with a software utility called TEMS Pocket Positioning Tool, which is installed
along with TEMS Investigation as well as TEMS Presentation. It is launched
from the Start menu by selecting Programs → Ascom → TEMS Products →
Utilities → TEMS Pocket Positioning Tool. For further details on this topic,
consult the TEMS Pocket Positioning Tool User’s Manual.
The intended way of working is to position the map using the coordinates
provided in the map properties in TEMS Pocket: see section 6.2.3.
After being positioned, the logfiles are ready to be loaded into TEMS
Investigation or TEMS Presentation.

Chapter 7. TEMS Pocket Functions in the Activity Menu

7. TEMS Pocket Functions in the


Activity Menu

A number of TEMS Pocket functions are accessed by pressing the Activity


key. This is the button labeled .
Note that many of these functions are found only in the Activity menu and not
among the submenus of the Pocket menu. They are placed here to be
conveniently accessible regardless of what TEMS Pocket functions or other
phone functions you are using.

7.1. Operational Mode


Regarding the phone mode/scan mode distinction, see section 2.1.
Active: TEMS Pocket is in phone mode, and all
functions in that mode are active.
Background: TEMS Pocket is in phone mode; no
data views are displayed, but all other functions are
active.
Scanner: TEMS Pocket is in scan mode.
Inactive: No TEMS Pocket functions are active.

7.2. Insert Filemark


This command inserts filemarks (text strings) in a logfile while it is being
recorded. You can use filemarks to tag segments of special interest in the
logfile. For example, you might want to note down the location where
something special happened (helpful if you are not using a GPS of any kind).
On selecting this command you are prompted to type the filemark text. It may
consist of up to 127 characters.
This command is available only while logfile recording is in progress.

LZT 138 0240 R2A 83


TEMS Pocket 7.3 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s Manual

7.3. Start/Stop Logfile Recording


This command is used for manual recording of TEMS Pocket logfiles. (Logfile
recording can also be automated, using a variety of trigger conditions. This is
done from the Passive Measurement menu; see chapter 16. Regarding
logfile recording by pinpointing, see section 6.2.)
You can insert filemarks in a logfile during recording; see section 7.2.
If the memory on the storage medium used for logfiles is running low (only
1 MB left), or if some error occurs, the recording is stopped. You are then
notified by a message in the display.
Refer to chapter 14 for all remaining details on logfile recording and handling.
During logfile replay this command is not available.

7.3.1. Icons Used for Logfile Recording

While a logfile is being recorded, this icon is shown on the status bar at
the top of the display.

7.4. Start/Stop Logfile Replay


This command is used to start and stop replay TEMS Pocket logfiles in TEMS
Pocket itself. Note that you can also replay the logfiles in TEMS Investigation
and TEMS Presentation and make use of the powerful presentation facilities
in these tools.
On giving this command you are taken to the file system of the logfile storage
medium (see section 14.2) in order to select a logfile for replay. Regardless of
storage medium, the directory is named Other\Pocket\Pro. A filter is applied
so that only files with extension .log are visible.
Once you have selected a logfile, the TEMS Pocket user interface (data
views, event log, event counters) is cleared, and the logfile replay is put on
standby. The actual replay does not begin until you select Play; see section
7.4.1 below.
During replay, the user interface is updated by the logfile content exactly as in
live mode, that is, exactly as if the data were being received from the network.
The cell control icon (see section 9.1) does not appear during replay, nor can
the Cell Control menu be accessed while a logfile is being replayed. It is
therefore not possible in TEMS Pocket to inspect the exact cell control

84
Chapter 7. TEMS Pocket Functions in the Activity Menu

settings that were in force at a particular point while recording the logfile. This
can however be done by replaying the logfile in TEMS Investigation and
studying certain information elements exhibited in that application (“Band
Control”, “Serving Cell List Active”, and others).
In both TEMS Pocket and TEMS Investigation, events reflecting the
application of cell control functions at recording time will appear during replay,
just like any other events.
If you rewind the logfile, the TEMS Pocket user interface (data views, event
log, event counters) is once again cleared. The same thing happens when
you exit replay mode.
During logfile recording, during execution of a command sequence, and
during FTP sessions the replay command is not available.

7.4.1. Replay Control Functions


Play: Replays the logfile at approximately live
speed. While the replay is in progress the button is
relabeled Pause, and pressing the button in that
situation pauses the replay. Press the button once
more (now named Play again) to resume the
replay from the point where it was paused.
Step: Reads one more phone message from the
logfile and then pauses the replay. You may have
to step several times to see any changes in the
data.
Options: Pressing this button gives access to
further replay control functions; see below.

Rewind: Rewinds the logfile to the beginning and


clears the TEMS Pocket user interface. Press Play
to start the replay once more.
Exit replay mode: Aborts the logfile replay, closes
the logfile, and returns TEMS Pocket to live mode.

LZT 138 0240 R2A 85


TEMS Pocket 7.3 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s Manual

When the replay has reached the end of the logfile, the buttons are once
again relabeled, now with the choices in the Options menu (above):

Options: Toggle on-screen help mode; toggle


capture on/off.
Rewind: See above.
Exit: Exit replay mode; see above.

During logfile replay, all other TEMS Pocket control functions (all other
commands in the Activity menu and all commands in the Cell Control, FTP,
Logfile, and Command Sequence menus) are disabled.
If an incoming call is received during logfile replay, you can choose either to
answer the call, aborting the replay, or to ignore the call and proceed with the
replay. In the latter case a busy tone will be sent to the calling party.

7.4.2. Icons Used for Logfile Replay


The following icons are displayed on the status bar to indicate the status of
the replay:

Replay in progress at normal speed (following Play command)

Replay paused (following Pause or Step command)

Replay stopped. This means that the logfile has been replayed to the
end.

7.5. Tag Logfile


This function lets you attach a tag to a logfile that is being recorded. The tag
is used as a criterion for logfile saving in the course of command sequence
execution or passive measurement (“Store logfiles with” setting: see sections
15.2.1 and 16.1). Note that for the Tag Logfile command to be available in
these situations, the Tag option must have been selected in the dialogs just

86
Chapter 7. TEMS Pocket Functions in the Activity Menu

referred to. In contrast, when recording a logfile manually, the Tag Logfile
command is always available.1
Tagging a logfile also adds the string tag_ to the logfile name, which enables
you to consider tags when doing logfile post-processing of your own.

7.6. Event Log


This is a shortcut to the event log; see section 10.1.

7.7. Start FTP/Stop FTP/Stop Logfile Upload


These commands are used to conduct FTP sessions, including uploading of
TEMS Pocket logfiles if you prefer to do these uploads manually. The
command takes you to a list of the FTP Get and FTP Put operations you have
defined. How to perform FTP operations and how to connect to FTP servers
is specified in the FTP menu: see chapter 13.
The start command always reads “Start FTP”, while the stop command is
named “Stop logfile upl.” for a logfile upload and “Stop FTP” for other FTP
sessions.
A series of events is generated in connection with each FTP session: see
section 10.5.8.
During logfile replay and during execution of a command sequence, this
command is not available.

7.8. Connect/Disconnect GPS


This command connects or disconnects a GPS (phone-internal or external).
For further information on using GPS devices with TEMS Pocket, see chapter
12.
The command is visible only if you have selected manual connect; see
section 12.2. While a connect operation is in progress, the menu item reads
“Connecting” and is grayed.
During logfile replay this command is not available.

1. The same is also true for passive measurement triggered on phone start-
up; but the “Store logfiles with” criterion is absent for this type of
measurement anyway (see section 16.1) – the logfile is always stored.
Even so, you can tag the logfile for purposes of your own.

LZT 138 0240 R2A 87


TEMS Pocket 7.3 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s Manual

7.9. Start/Stop Command Sequence


This command starts and stops a command sequence. How to set up
command sequences is covered in chapter 15.

• Select one of the command sequences that are


defined, then press the Select button.
• The selected sequence will execute indefinitely
unless you stop it. To stop the sequence,
choose Stop Command Sequence from the
Activity menu.

If a passive measurement (see chapter 16) is in progress when you start a


command sequence, TEMS Pocket halts the passive measurement and runs
the command sequence instead. In this case, when the sequence has been
stopped, passive measurement is re-enabled according to the previous
settings for that function.
During logfile replay this command is not available.

In this menu are collected the functions that modify the phone’s behavior in
the network.
Note that cell control functions can also be activated as options in command
sequences; see section 15.2.

9.1. Icons Used for Cell Control


Whenever at least one cell control function is active, this icon appears
on the status bar.
This icon does not appear during logfile replay.

9.2. Lock to RAT


This function locks the phone to one radio access technology in idle mode. It
does not have any effect on RAT selection in dedicated mode; however, an
ongoing FTP session will be terminated, so the function should not be used
while an FTP session is in progress.
When this function is activated, the phone detaches from the network it is
currently attached to, and the message “No netw. coverage” appears in the
phone display. The phone then attaches to the selected network.
If the signal is too weak, the phone will go into no service mode.

LZT 138 0240 R2A 91


TEMS Pocket 7.3 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s Manual

Off: No forcing of network selection.


WCDMA: The phone is forced to camp on a
WCDMA network whenever one is available.
GSM: The phone is forced to camp on a GSM
network whenever one is available.

Regarding interplay between locking functions, see section 9.6.

Note: In the phone’s main menu (Settings → Connectivity → Mobile


networks → GSM/3G networks) it is possible to make a choice
between “GSM and 3G” and “GSM only”. It is recommended not
to use this function in conjunction with TEMS Pocket, since the
Cell Control icon (see section 9.1) will then not be displayed, and
the GSM lock operation will not be registered in the logfile if you
are recording one (compare section 7.4).

9.3. Lock Cell WCDMA


This function locks the phone to a WCDMA cell, which will immediately
become the serving cell provided that the signal strength is sufficient. If the
signal is too weak, the phone will go into no service mode.

• Choose Set UARFCN/SC to lock on a cell. You


will be asked to enter a UARFCN and SC.
These values will then appear beneath the
menu item when selected.
• Alternatively, you can lock on a UARFCN while
disregarding scrambling codes. This is done by
not entering a SC.
• Choose Off to release the lock.

Note that you can also lock on a cell that makes an appearance in data views.
See sections 4.1 and 4.9.
Regarding interplay between locking functions, see section 9.6.

92
Chapter 9. Cell Control Menu

9.4. Lock ARFCN GSM


This function locks the phone to an ARFCN in a GSM network. If there exists
an available GSM cell using that ARFCN, the phone will be immediately
handed over to that cell provided that the signal strength is sufficient. If the
signal is too weak, the phone will go into no service mode.

• Choose Set ARFCN to lock on a cell. You will


be asked to enter an ARFCN number. This
ARFCN will then appear beneath the menu
item when selected.
• Choose Off to release the lock.

Note that you can also lock on a cell that makes an appearance in data views.
See sections 4.1, 4.17, and 4.18.
Regarding interplay between locking functions, see section 9.6.

9.5. Lock Band WCDMA, Lock Band GSM


You can lock the phone to a particular WCDMA or GSM frequency band. Note
that this operation will result in no service if you prevent the use of all bands
that are available in the area.

Off: Function not applied.


850 (V), etc.: The phone will be locked to the
indicated WCDMA band. The set of bands
supported differs between the phone models.

LZT 138 0240 R2A 93


TEMS Pocket 7.3 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s Manual

Off: Function not applied.


850, etc.: The phone will be locked to the indicated
GSM band.

The phone cannot be band-locked while a voice or video call is in progress.


Regarding interplay between locking functions, see section 9.6.

9.6. Interplay between Locking Functions


If you lock the phone to a cell, UARFCN, or band (sections 9.3, 9.4, 9.5), the
phone is also automatically locked to the corresponding RAT. In this situation,
• if you release the cell or band lock, the RAT lock is also automatically
released;
• if you release the RAT lock, the cell or band lock is not released but
remains. This is useful if you want to test inter-RAT handover to and from
a specific cell or band in one RAT.
All locking commands have equal priority in the sense that no command can
be inhibited by one previously given. For example, if you lock the phone to
WCDMA with Lock to RAT and then issue a Lock ARFCN GSM command,
the WCDMA lock is released and the phone is RAT-locked to GSM instead.

9.7. Comparison with Locking Functions in TEMS


Investigation
Users familiar with TEMS Investigation should note that the relationship
between the locking functions in that product is partly different. In TEMS
Investigation, the RAT Control setting for Sony Ericsson UMTS phones has
priority over all technology-specific settings, so that (for example) trying to
lock on a frequency band in GSM has no effect if the phone is currently
locked to WCDMA. To be able to lock on a GSM band, you must first
manually release the RAT lock. (Compare with section 9.6 above.)

94
Chapter 9. Cell Control Menu

For full details, see the TEMS Investigation 11.0 User’s Manual, section
16.2.1.

9.8. Voice Codec


This function is used to modify the list of preferred GSM and WCDMA voice
codecs that the phone reports to the network. In the dialog are shown all
GSM and WCDMA voice codecs that the phone supports.
You cannot deselect all codecs in the dialog; at least one codec must remain
selected at all times.
It should be emphasized that this function does not provide ultimate control of
which voice codec is actually used during a call; this decision always remains
with the network.

Codecs used in GSM


AMR-WB: Adaptive Multi Rate – Wideband
AMR-FR: Adaptive Multi Rate – Full Rate
EFR: Enhanced Full Rate
FR: Full Rate
AMR-HR: Adaptive Multi Rate – Half Rate
HR: Half Rate

Codecs used in WCDMA


UMTS AMR: UMTS Adaptive Multi Rate
UMTS AMR2: This codec behaves as a FR AMR
codec in the uplink and as a UMTS AMR codec in
the downlink (3GPP 23.153 section 5.6.1).
UMTS AMR-WB: UMTS Adaptive Multi Rate –
Wideband

9.9. HS Capability
You can enable or disable the TEMS Pocket phone’s HSPA capabilities as
shown below.

LZT 138 0240 R2A 95


TEMS Pocket 7.3 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s Manual

Note that this function does not affect the behavior of the “3G”/“H” status bar
symbol (see section 2.2). The latter is governed entirely by the capabilities of
the current serving cell.

Off: Only WCDMA R99 is enabled.


HSDPA: HSDPA is enabled, but HSUPA is not.
HSPA: Both HSDPA and HSUPA are enabled.

9.10. Ignore Cell Barred


This function governs whether the phone is allowed to access a barred cell.

Off: The phone will make no attempt to access


barred cells.
On: The phone will ignore barring of cells.

9.11. Reset Control Settings


This command undoes any changes made from the default in the Cell control
menu. The reset operation does not affect the General settings and Events
menus.
• In the Cell control menu, choose Reset control settings and press Yes to
confirm.
If you have not changed anything from the default, the Reset control settings
choice is disabled and grayed.
The Cell control settings revert to their defaults when the phone is turned off.

Events are inspected in the event log. (The term “log” as used in this section
has got nothing to do with recording of TEMS Pocket logfiles; regarding the
latter, see section 7.3.)
Under Event counters, you can check how many times each type of event
has occurred.
Under Event settings, you configure settings for events: logging, counting,
audio signals, and displaying of icons.

Note: To have events logged at all, you must make sure that Event
logging is not set to “Off”. See section 10.1.3.

restores the default logging settings listed in
section 10.5.
(continued on next page)

100
Chapter 10. Events Menu

Sound:
• “Off” means that no sound will be played when
the event occurs.
• “Default” means that, in idle mode, the
predefined sound for the event will be played
when the event occurs. The prerecorded sound
files consist of a voice announcing the event. In
dedicated mode, the voice recording is
replaced by a notification beep.
• “User set” directs you to a directory in the
phone’s file system where you can store sound
files of your own and associate them with
events. Supported file formats are MIDI, MP3,
and AMR. (The prerecorded sound files are not
accessible in the phone file system.)
Note, however, that if Event logging is set to Silent
(see section 10.1.3), all event sounds will be muted
regardless of the settings made here.

Icon popup: If turned on, the icon associated with


an event will be shown in the status bar each time
the event occurs. The icons used are reproduced in
section 10.5.

10.3. Event Counters


TEMS Pocket keeps track of the number of times each type of event has
occurred. This function is always active and cannot be turned off while the
application is in Active mode. The counters are however reset whenever you
enter or exit logfile replay mode.

10.3.1. Viewing Event Counters


• From the Events menu, choose Event Counters.
The events are divided into the same categories as in the event settings (see

11. Data Views Menu

From this menu you control what data views should be visible as you browse
through them. In the menu, the data views are organized in a multi-tab
structure with one tab for each data view category.

Toggle: Press this button to toggle the visibility for


the selected data view on and off.
Go to: Press this bottom to immediately display the
selected data view and exit the Data Views menu.

The Set all command (at the bottom of each tab) sets the visibility for all data
views in the group. Note that this command never has a preset value: the
submenu with the choices On and Off has no radio buttons.
If you perform the Go to action for a data view whose visibility is currently set
to Off, the view is shown just this once; if you browse to a different view and
then back again, the hidden view will be skipped. To make the view
permanently visible again you must press Toggle to set its visibility to On.
If you turn off visibility for all data views, one data view will still remain visible
as you exit the menu system, namely the one you last accessed. If you do in
fact want to hide all data views, you should not edit these settings but rather
put TEMS Pocket in background or inactive mode: see section 7.1.

Chapter 12. GPS Menu

12. GPS Menu

12.1. Using GPS Units with TEMS Pocket:


Introduction
Using a GPS device with TEMS Pocket enhances compatibility with products
such as TEMS Investigation and TEMS Automatic/TEMS Presentation by
allowing TEMS Pocket data to be presented on maps.
The GPS menu is used to control the choice of GPS device and various
aspects of how to interact with it. Sections 12.2–12.4 below cover the
submenus of the GPS menu.
You can export your GPS settings to file; they are included in the Export
settings operation (Tools menu: see section 17.4).

12.1.1. Using the Built-in GPS


The Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a phones have a built-in GPS, and
TEMS Pocket can make use of this device for positioning. Access to the built-
in GPS is included in the TEMS Pocket standard package.
To be available to TEMS Pocket, the built-in GPS must be enabled in the
regular phone user interface. In the phone’s main menu, navigate to Location
services → Settings and check that the third item in this submenu reads
“Disable GPS”, i.e. the GPS is currently enabled. (It is by default.) If
necessary, enable the GPS.

Whenever the built-in GPS is active, this icon from the regular phone
interface appears at the top of the display.
By default the phone also has the option Location services → Settings →
“Assisted start” activated. This means that the phone will use the Assisted
GPS (A-GPS) technology to reduce the time taken to obtain a first GPS fix.
The positioning accuracy, on the other hand, does not change.
Since the phone’s use of A-GPS involves contacting a Sony Ericsson specific
“assistance server”, the phone must have a functioning data account defined,
in the same way as for WAP.

LZT 138 0240 R2A 113


TEMS Pocket 7.3 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s Manual

The built-in GPS consumes a large amount of power and thus requires
frequent charging of the phone battery. See section 21.2 for some further
specifics on this matter.

12.1.2. Using an External GPS


TEMS Pocket can also connect to an external (Bluetooth) GPS. This
functionality, too, is part of the standard TEMS Pocket package.
You can connect to any Bluetooth GPS device that uses Bluetooth version
1.1 or later, SPP (Serial Port Profile) version 1.1, and NMEA-0183 version 2.2
or later. Bluetooth pairing is handled from within TEMS Pocket: see section
12.3.
The “Assisted start” option (see section 12.1.1) cannot be combined with an
external GPS.

12.2. GPS Connect


Manual: At the outset no GPS is connected. This is
the default setting. You can connect the phone
manually to a GPS (internal or external) by using
the command in the Activity menu (see section
7.8). If a manual connect fails, an error message is
displayed.
Automatic: When you switch from Manual to
Automatic, the following applies: If “GPS device”
(see section 12.3) is set to Internal, or if “GPS
device” is set to Bluetooth and you successfully
paired a GPS with the phone when you last did a
Bluetooth device search, then the phone will
immediately try to connect to the selected GPS.
The same thing will happen later on each time the
phone is power cycled.
If an automatic connect fails, the phone will do a
retry once every minute until it succeeds. No error
messages are given in this case.

Note that you must choose your “GPS device” setting while “GPS connect” is
set to Manual (see section 12.3).
Switching between the options Manual and Automatic disconnects a GPS
that is currently connected.

114
Chapter 12. GPS Menu

12.3. GPS Device


Here you select what kind of GPS device TEMS
Pocket should use. If you have selected Automatic
under “GPS connect”, however (see section 12.2),
the GPS device dialog is not accessible.
Internal: TEMS Pocket will use the phone’s
internal GPS.
Bluetooth: When you select this, TEMS Pocket
will start searching for available Bluetooth devices.
The found devices are listed on the screen shown
below.

Here are listed all Bluetooth devices that have


been found in the search. Note: In the list may
appear all kinds of Bluetooth compatible devices,
i.e. also devices other than GPS units.
• Among the devices found, select the GPS you
want to connect to. The phone will then attempt
Bluetooth pairing with the selected device. You
will be asked for a passcode.
The Connect GPS command in the Activity menu
(see section 7.8) will always apply to the Bluetooth
device last paired with the phone as just described.
If you want to refresh the search for Bluetooth
devices, you can do so at any time by selecting the
Bluetooth option again.

12.4. GPS Time Synch


If this is set to On, the phone clock will be
synchronized with the GPS time. This is useful for
instance if you are going to upload TEMS Pocket
logfiles to a TEMS Automatic database.
Note: For this synchronization to work, it is vital
that the time zone has been correctly set on the
phone.

116
Chapter 13. FTP Menu

13. FTP Menu

In this menu you specify FTP servers that the phone is going to interact with
(whether for FTP testing or for logfile upload). Here you also set up FTP Put/
Get operations to perform during testing.
You start and stop FTP testing from the Activity menu: see section 7.7.
You can export your FTP settings to file; they are included in the Export
settings operation (Tools menu: see section 17.4).

13.1. FTP Transfer


Here you define FTP Put and FTP Get operations. Up to ten operations can
be defined. At the outset they are simply numbered from 1 to 10 in the user
interface; you get the opportunity to name the operations while defining them
(see below).

• Select a number to define the corresponding


FTP operation.

LZT 138 0240 R2A 117


TEMS Pocket 7.3 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s Manual

Name: Text field for labeling the FTP operation.


Direction: Select FTP Put or FTP Get. The
remaining parameters are partly different for the
two types of operation:

FTP Put Specific Parameters


Local file: Browse to select the file to be uploaded.
Remote directory: Name of directory where the
file should be stored on the FTP server.
FTP Put parameters
FTP Get Specific Parameters
Remote file: Path describing the location of the file
to get on the FTP server. A leading slash may be
used as root symbol but is not mandatory.
Save file to: The downloaded file can be written
either to the phone memory or to the memory stick.
In either case, files are stored in the directory
Other.
If the phone runs out of memory during an FTP Get
FTP Get parameters operation, the operation will complete, but no file
will be stored in the phone file system.

Common Parameters
FTP server: Specify the FTP server to interact
with: one of those defined in the FTP server
submenu (see section 13.2).

Note that the file used for upload or download must not be larger than about
500 MB, or the FTP Data view (see section 4.5) will not show correct values
for the mean data transfer rate.
Once you are done setting up an FTP operation, its name and direction, the
server to interact with, and the file to put/get will appear in the FTP transfer
list:

Chapter 13. FTP Menu

13.2. FTP Server


Here you specify FTP servers and how to access them. Up to ten FTP
servers can be defined. At the outset they are simply numbered from 1 to 10
in the user interface; you get the opportunity to name the servers while
defining them (see below).

• Select a number to define the corresponding


FTP server.

Name: Text field for labeling the FTP server.


Remote address: The IP address or host name of
the FTP server. The address may not contain a
path to a subdirectory.
Port: The FTP server port. The default is 21.
FTP user: User name on the FTP server, if
required.
FTP password: User password on the FTP server,
if required.
(continued on next page)

LZT 138 0240 R2A 119


TEMS Pocket 7.3 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s Manual

Remote directory: This parameter applies to


logfile upload only; it names the directory where the
logfiles should be stored on the FTP server. When
you perform a manual FTP Put operation, this
parameter is overridden by the identically named
parameter in the FTP Put command (see section
13.1).
Data account: Select the data account that should
be used for the FTP session.

Fixed timeouts (not user-configurable) are used when establishing the dialup
connection (60 s) and when setting up the FTP session itself (60 s). Failure to
obtain a response from the FTP server within the latter time period results in
“FTP session error”.

Chapter 14. Logfile Menu

14. Logfile Menu

14.1. Logfiles in TEMS Pocket: Introduction


TEMS Pocket can record its measurements in logfiles, containing the same
richness of detail as logfiles recorded with TEMS Automatic test units or with
terminals connected to TEMS Investigation.
Logfiles are stored either in the internal phone memory or on a memory stick
(see section 14.2 below). Logfiles are ordinary files in the phone file system
and can be handled from the File manager.
You can record logfiles manually in the following ways:
• By using commands in the Activity menu. See section 7.3.
• In connection with pinpointing in the Map view. See chapter 6.
You can also configure TEMS Pocket to trigger automatic recording of
logfiles in a number of situations. This is known as “passive measurement”
and is covered in chapter 16.
Regarding logfile naming, see section 14.1.1.
TEMS Pocket has a logfile replay function, described in section 7.4. Other
ways to study TEMS Pocket 7.3 logfiles are to transfer them to a PC and
open them in other TEMS products:
• TEMS Investigation, version 11.0 or later
• TEMS Automatic, version 8.1 or later/TEMS Presentation, version 2.1 or
later
• TEMS Discovery, version 2.0 or later.
TEMS Pocket is capable of uploading logfiles to an FTP server, using the
built-in FTP client, in the following ways:
• Over the cellular network. See section 14.3.
• Over WiFi. See section 14.4.
In order to reduce FTP transfer times, you can opt to compress logfiles prior
to upload. This is dealt with in section 14.5.

LZT 138 0240 R2A 121


TEMS Pocket 7.3 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s Manual

It is of course also possible to transfer logfiles via USB or Bluetooth, or to


send them as attachments to e-mail.
You can export all logfile-related settings to file; they are included in the
Export settings operation (Tools menu: see section 17.4).
Sections 14.2–14.7 below cover the submenus of the Logfile menu.

14.1.1. Logfile Naming Format


All logfiles recorded by TEMS Pocket are named according to the syntax

<Status>_<Type>_[<Tag>_]<Date>_<Time>.log

where the components have the following meanings:

<Status>
S Measurements successful
F Measurements failed

No status is given for manually recorded logfiles or for logfile recordings


triggered at phone startup (since in these cases there are no particular
measurements associated with the recording).

<Type>
voice_a Active voice measurement
voice_p Passive voice measurement
video_a Active video call measurement

• s_FTP_a_tag_2010-02-03_16.53.02.log

14.2. Save Logfile To


Phone memory: Logfiles are saved to the phone
memory, directory Other\Pocket\Pro.
Memory stick: Logfiles are saved to the memory
stick, directory Other\Pocket\Pro, provided that the
phone has got a memory stick installed. Sony
Ericsson phones support Memory Stick M2.

14.3. Upload Logfile


Here you configure automated uploading of logfiles over the cellular network,
using the FTP protocol, to an FTP server. What server to upload to is
selected in the FTP server submenu: see section 14.7.
Upload over cellular may be regarded as the “standard” logfile upload method
in TEMS Pocket. Alternatively, it is possible to upload files over WiFi if a WiFi
access point is available. See section 14.4.

LZT 138 0240 R2A 123


TEMS Pocket 7.3 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s Manual

Immediate: Selecting this does not literally trigger


an upload immediately. Rather, the setting has this
effect:
• The next time you record a logfile, the logfile
will be uploaded immediately at that time, along
with any other logfiles that are stored on the
storage medium.
• Subsequently, as long as Immediate remains
selected, every new logfile will be uploaded as
soon as it has been recorded.
Schedule: Logfiles are uploaded according to a
schedule that you define here. Select this option to
go to the Start time screen, then turn to section
14.3.2.
Each time an upload is performed, all logfiles are
transferred that have not yet been transferred
(logfiles created since the last upload, plus any
older logfiles that may remain because you aborted
uploading of these files).
Off: No automated uploading. Logfiles are simply
stored in the phone memory or on the memory
stick as long as free space is available. Use this
setting if you prefer to upload logfiles manually
using the FTP Put command (see section 7.7).a

a. There is yet another way to upload logfiles manually, using a command


accessed from the phone file system. See chapter 20.

A set of events is provided reporting on the progress and outcome of each


upload. See section 10.5.8.

14.3.1. Conflicts with Other TEMS Pocket Functions


While a command sequence is executing, logfiles cannot be uploaded in any
of the ways described in section 14.3. Logfile uploads may however still
occur, namely if initiated by the command sequence itself (Upload flag set in
command sequence settings: see section 15.2.1). Like any other upload, an
upload governed by a command sequence will transfer all logfiles stored in

124
Chapter 14. Logfile Menu

the logfile folder, including any remaining older files that were not produced
by the command sequence.
While logfile replay is in progress, no logfile uploads can occur.
If, during command sequence execution or logfile replay, a logfile upload
comes due according to the upload schedule defined, the upload is
postponed until the conflicting activity has ended. Afterwards the phone
reverts to following the upload schedule.

14.3.2. Setting an Upload Schedule


Step 1

Now: Choose this option to perform the first upload


right away (as soon as you are done setting up the
schedule). Skip to Step 3 below.
00:00: Choose this option to specify a time of day
when the first upload should be performed.

Step 2

If you chose “00:00” in Step 1, set the upload time


here.

LZT 138 0240 R2A 125


TEMS Pocket 7.3 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s Manual

Step 3

Set the interval between uploads. None means


that only a single upload will be performed.
Press Select to complete the schedule setup. If you
chose Now in Step 1, the upload will start
immediately; otherwise it will start at the scheduled
time.
You can abort an upload in progress by using the
Stop FTP Put command in the Activity menu (see
section 7.7). If you abort an upload, the files that
were not transferred will be included in the next
upload.

14.4. WiFi Upload


As an alternative to uploading via the cellular network, it is possible to
perform logfile upload over a WiFi access point if one is available. The
protocol used is FTP in this case as well.
The TEMS Pocket phone is capable of searching for available WiFi networks.
• To enable WiFi upload, navigate to Menu → Settings → Connectivity →
WiFi, select the WiFi network you want to connect to, and press Options
→ Connect.
• After connecting, the choice “Auto connect” becomes available. Choosing
that option causes the phone to connect automatically to this WiFi access
point on future occasions.
To make use of WiFi for logfile upload, you then need to enter the WiFi upload
menu and make the appropriate selection:

126
Chapter 14. Logfile Menu

Immediate: Selecting this does not literally trigger


an upload immediately. Rather:
• If the phone has a WiFi connection, and you
record a new logfile, the logfile will be uploaded
immediately at that time, along with any other
logfiles that are stored on the storage medium.
• If the phone does not have a WiFi connection,
but later finds a WiFi network and connects to
it, then all logfiles stored on the storage
medium will be uploaded immediately at that
time.
Subsequently, as long as Immediate remains
selected and the WiFi connection is maintained,
every new logfile will be uploaded over WiFi as
soon as it has been recorded. In this situation, WiFi
upload always has priority over upload via the
cellular network.

Once: This choice has the following effect:


• If the phone has a WiFi connection when you
select Once, a logfile upload will be performed
immediately, transferring all logfiles that are
stored on the storage medium.
• As long as Once remains selected, one logfile
upload will be performed each time a new
connection to a WiFi network is made.
All other uploads, however, will take place over the
cellular network.
The “Once” mechanism can for example be used to
have logfiles automatically uploaded whenever you
return from a drive testing session to the office and
the coverage of the office WLAN.

Off: No logfile uploading will be done over WiFi.

A set of events is provided reporting on the progress and outcome of each


upload. See section 10.5.8.

LZT 138 0240 R2A 127


TEMS Pocket 7.3 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s Manual

14.4.1. Relation to Upload over Cellular Network


If you initiate WiFi uploading while an upload over the cellular network is in
progress, the upload over cellular is not affected.
If a schedule for upload over cellular is in place (defined according to section
14.3.2), and you set “WiFi upload” to Immediate, TEMS Pocket will switch to
WiFi upload as described in section 14.4, but it will also continue to keep
track of the timer for upload over cellular. This allows TEMS Pocket to fall
back on the upload-over-cellular schedule in case the WiFi connection is lost.
If upload over cellular and WiFi upload are both set to Immediate, WiFi
uploading will take precedence, as pointed out in section 14.4. However, after
each WiFi upload, an upload over cellular will follow. The latter will be
noticeable only as an “Auto. Upload Fail” event with cause = “No files to
upload” (see section 10.5.8 and appendix A.2), provided that the WiFi upload
completed normally. On the other hand, if the WiFi upload was for some
reason aborted before all logfiles had been transferred, the upload over
cellular will take care of transferring the remaining files.

14.4.2. Conflicts with Other TEMS Pocket Functions


While a command sequence is executing, the only logfile uploads that can
occur are ones initiated by the command sequence itself (Upload flag set in
command sequence settings: see section 15.2.1). Like any other upload, an
upload governed by a command sequence will transfer all logfiles stored in
the logfile folder, including any remaining older files that were not produced
by the command sequence currently running.
While logfile replay is in progress, no logfile uploads can occur.

128
Chapter 14. Logfile Menu

14.5. Compress
If set to On, logfiles will be compressed using a
Huffman coding algorithm before they are
uploaded.a
If compression is turned on, it will take place
regardless of the upload bearer chosen and the
upload settings made (see sections 14.3 and 14.4).
However:
• After an automatic upload, the original
uncompressed logfile (as well as the
compressed version) will be deleted from the
phone file system.
• After a manual upload initiated by a Start FTP
command (section 7.7), the original logfile will
remain on the phone.

a. Compressed logfiles receive the extension .LZZ; this is a TEMS-specific


extension recognized by the automated logfile handling in TEMS
Presentation. If you wish to unpack uploaded logfiles manually on the
FTP server, for example using gzip, replace “.LZZ” by “.log.gz” in each
file. (Replaying TEMS Pocket logfiles in TEMS Investigation currently
requires the logfiles to be unpacked.)

It should be pointed out that compression of large logfiles takes considerable


time and that all logfiles to be uploaded in the same batch are compressed
before any uploading begins. (It is possible to abort an upload at any time.)
If the FTP transfer fails, for example because the FTP transfer setup in TEMS
Pocket is faulty, then the logfiles will remain compressed and included in the
first subsequent upload that succeeds.

14.6. FTP Resume


If set to On, then if a logfile upload is interrupted
because the FTP connection goes down, the
upload will be resumed from the point where it was
interrupted.
If set to Off, an interrupted logfile upload will be
restarted from the beginning.
For the function to work, the FTP server must
support resume functionality.

14.7. FTP Server


Here you select a FTP server to upload logfiles to.
The servers listed are those that you define in the
FTP menu (see section 13.2). Note that the
Remote directory parameter must have a valid
value for any server that is going to be used for
logfile uploads.

15. Command Sequence Menu

15.1. Introduction to Command Sequences


Command sequences are used to automate testing of services. The
following services and tasks are supported by the command sequence
function:
• Voice calls
• Video calls
• FTP data transfers (Put/Get)
• HTTP data transfers
• Video streaming
• Wait in idle mode
You can have the execution of a command sequence recorded automatically
in a logfile. It is also possible to have that logfile uploaded automatically, over
either the cellular network or WiFi, every time the sequence has completed.
Cell control functions can be activated by a command sequence for the
duration of the sequence. The effects of these control functions are precisely
the same as when the functions are activated manually (see chapter 9).
You start and stop a command sequence from the Activity menu: see
section 7.9. When the command sequence is executed, its actions are
performed one after another in the order they have been defined. Once
started, the sequence repeats until you stop it, unless some event such a low
battery condition occurs.
Command sequence setups can be exported to file and imported back into
the application. The setups are included in the Export settings operation
(Tools menu: see section 17.4).

Note: Running a command sequence for extended periods of time


places a high load on the phone battery. See section 21.3 for
advice on how to ensure that the battery is not drained.

TEMS Pocket 7.3 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s Manual

15.2. Defining Command Sequences


In this menu you define the contents of command sequences. Up to ten
sequences can be defined. At the outset they are simply numbered from 1 to
10 in the user interface; you get the opportunity to name the sequences while
defining them (see below)
• Press Edit to define a new command sequence.

15.2.1. Global Command Sequence Settings


These settings apply to the command sequence as a whole.

Name: Text field for naming the command


sequence.
Record: This option governs whether to record the
execution of the command sequence in logfiles. If
the option is set, a new logfile is recorded for each
action that is run.
Upload: If you set this to On, a logfile upload will
be performed after each execution of the command
sequence. If the Record option is turned off, the
Upload option is disabled and grayed, and no
uploads will take place.

(continued on next page)

132
Chapter 15. Command Sequence Menu

Store logfiles with: These settings control


whether logfiles recorded when running the
command sequence will be saved or not.
• Success: Save logfiles where the measurement
succeeded.
• Failure: Save logfiles where the measurement
failed.
• Abort: Save logfiles where the measurement
was aborted by the user.
• Tag: Save logfiles that are manually tagged by
the user. Note: The tagging function (see
section 7.5) will be enabled during command
sequence execution only if you check this
option. Therefore, a tagged logfile will always
be saved.
The first three conditions are mutually exclusive,
and they are jointly in an OR relationship with the
Tag condition. For example, if you check Failure
and Tag, a logfile will be saved if the measurement
failed or the logfile has been tagged.

GPS: This option has an effect only if “GPS


connect” is set to “Manual” in the GPS menu (see
section 12.2). If that is so, the option described
here governs whether to make use of a GPS
device. If the option is set, and no GPS is
connected as the command sequence starts,
TEMS Pocket will connect to the GPS for the
duration of the sequence, then disconnect the GPS
after the sequence has stopped.
If “GPS connect” is set to “Automatic” in the GPS
menu, any GPS that is present will always be
connected, and the command sequence option has
no effect.

Actions: Select this item to define the actions the


command sequence should perform. See below.

TEMS Pocket 7.3 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s Manual

15.2.2. Adding an Action to a Command Sequence


• Select <Add action> to define a new action.

Here you select the type of task to perform in the


action; one of:
• Voice call
• Video call
• FTP transfer (Put or Get)
• HTTP
• Streaming
• Idle (wait in idle mode)

The new action is added to the sequence.


• With the new action selected, press Select to
configure settings for the action.
The settings for the various action types are
covered in the subsections that follow.

134
Chapter 15. Command Sequence Menu

15.2.3. Voice Action Settings


Dial number: The number to call. Valid characters
are: +, #, *, 0, ..., 9, and p (for pause).
Call duration: The duration in seconds of the voice
call.
Guard time: The time in seconds to spend in idle
mode upon completion of the voice call, i.e. the
time to wait before starting the next action in the
sequence. During the guard time, no logfile
recording occurs.
Redial: If this is set On, the phone will
automatically redial mobile-originated calls that
were abnormally disconnected (neither party
intentionally ended the call).a
Cell control: Here you can specify one or several
cell control functions, for example band and/or cell
lock, that will apply for the duration of the action
and then be released. This works exactly the same
way as manual cell control (except for the scope
being limited in time); see chapter 9 for details.

a. In case of a blocked call, up to three retries are made, provided that at


least 10 s remain of the specified call duration. If a call is dropped, it is
retried repeatedly as long as at least 10 s remain of the call duration.

LZT 138 0240 R2A 135


TEMS Pocket 7.3 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s Manual

15.2.4. Video Action Settings


Dial number: The number to call. Valid characters
are: +, #, *, 0, ..., 9, and p (for pause).
Call duration: The duration in seconds of the
video call.
Guard time: The time in seconds to spend in idle
mode upon completion of the video call, i.e. the
time to wait before starting the next action in the
sequence.
Redial: If this is set On, the phone will
automatically redial mobile-originated calls that
were abnormally disconnected (neither party
intentionally ended the call).a
Cell control: See section 15.2.3.

a. In case of a blocked call, up to three retries are made, provided that at


least 10 s remain of the specified call duration. If a call is dropped, it is
retried repeatedly as long as at least 10 s remain of the call duration.

15.2.5. FTP Action Settings


Transfer ID: Selecting this item takes you to a new
dialog listing all FTP transfers that are currently
defined in the FTP menu (see section 13.1). Select
which transfer to perform.
Guard time: The time in seconds to spend in idle
mode upon completion of the FTP session, i.e. the
time to wait before starting the next action in the
sequence.
Cell control: See section 15.2.3.

136
Chapter 15. Command Sequence Menu

15.2.6. HTTP Action Settings


Data account: Select the data account that should
be used for the HTTP session.
Guard time: The time in seconds to spend in idle
mode upon completion of the HTTP session, i.e.
the time to wait before starting the next action in
the sequence.
URL: The URL or IP address of the HTTP server to
download from. The maximum URL length is 255
characters.
Cell control: See section 15.2.3.

Not all web pages are suitable for HTTP testing. Very large pages should be
avoided, as should pages that contain many Java scripts. The reason is that
with such pages the browser will spend most of its time parsing HTML and
stylesheets or running Java scripts instead of downloading data, which
means that the average throughput will be very low. In addition, the parsing
and script execution may take such a long time that TEMS Pocket aborts the
action1, or the browser may run out of memory and abort the download.

1. This is governed by an internal timeout which is not user-configurable.

15.2.7. Streaming Action Settings


Streaming sessions are conducted over RTSP using the phone’s integrated
media player.
Data account: Select the data account that should
be used for the streaming session.
Guard time: The time in seconds to spend in idle
mode upon completion of the streaming session,
i.e. the time to wait before starting the next action in
the sequence.
URL: The URL or IP address of the streaming
server to download from. The maximum URL
length is 255 characters.
Audio: You can mute the audio from the media
player during the streaming session by choosing
Off here.
Video: Here you select whether to show or hide
the media player during the streaming session.
Max time: The maximum duration of the streaming
session.
Cell control: See section 15.2.3.

15.2.8. Idle Action Settings


Duration: The length of time (in seconds) the
phone should spend in idle mode.
Cell control: See section 15.2.3.

138
Chapter 15. Command Sequence Menu

15.2.9. Pre-guard and Post-guard Periods


For all action types except Idle, pre-guard and post-guard periods of fixed
length (both 10 s) are inserted before and after the measurement,
respectively. These guard periods are included in the logfile, and their
purpose is to capture the signaling taking place in connection with service
setup and termination.

15.2.10. Saving Default Settings for an Action Type


Pressing the “Save def.” button in an action settings dialog saves the current
settings as defaults for this action type. The next time you define an action of
the same type, the dialog will be populated with the default settings.
Default settings for actions are saved in the phone’s internal memory.
Note that you do not have to press the “Save def.” button for the action itself
to be saved. That is taken care of automatically, without the need for any
special user operation. If you press Back and return later to edit the action,
the settings you last made remain in the dialog.

15.2.11. The Assembled Command Sequence


• Once you are done setting up an action, simply press Back to return to the
list of actions in the command sequence. See the example below.

15.2.12. Rearranging Actions in a Command Sequence


• To move an action to a different position in a command sequence, select
the action, press Options, and select Move. Then use the navigation key
to move the action up or down in the sequence. When the action has
reached the desired position, press End Move to leave it there.

15.2.13. Deleting an Action from a Command Sequence


• To delete an action from a command sequence, select the action, press
Options, and select Delete. Alternatively, you can press the C button on
the keypad. You will be prompted to confirm removal of the action.

15.3. Viewing and Editing Command Sequences


Once you have defined a command sequence, when you return to the Cmd
sequences dialog and select that sequence, the middle soft button will read
“View” instead of “Edit”. Pressing View displays an overview of the selected
command sequence in the format shown below.

To edit a command sequence, select it and press View to access the


overview screen; then press Edit. See section 15.2 for all details on settings.

15.4. Deleting Command Sequences


• To delete a command sequence, select it in the Cmd sequences dialog
and press Delete. Alternatively, you can press the C button on the keypad.
You will be prompted to confirm removal of the command sequence.

15.5. Running Command Sequences


Command sequences are run from the Activity menu. See section 7.9.

Chapter 16. Passive Measurement Menu

16. Passive Measurement Menu

You can configure logfile recording to start and stop automatically in certain
situations. This mode of measurement is referred to as passive mode, since
the measurement is triggered by user actions in the regular phone interface
rather than being initiated actively by TEMS Pocket.
Below it is indicated when the passive measurement terminates. With the
exception of passive measurements triggered by the Startup option, you
cannot stop the logfile recording manually from the Activity menu (see section
7.3).

Startup: Logfile recording starts automatically when


the phone is powered on and continues until it is
powered off.
Voice: Logfile recording starts automatically at the
start of a voice call and stops at the end of that call.
Video: Logfile recording starts automatically at the
start of a video call and stops at the end of that call.
FTP: Logfile recording starts automatically at the
beginning of an FTP testing session (initiated by the
Start FTP command in the Activity menu: see
section 7.7) and stops at the end of that session.
(Recording is not triggered by uploading logfiles via
FTP.)
HTTP: Logfile recording starts automatically at the
beginning of an HTTP session (initiated by the user
launching the web browser) and stops at the end of
that session.
Streaming: Logfile recording starts automatically at
the beginning of a streaming session (initiated by
the user clicking a streaming video link or selecting
a bookmark containing such a link) and stops at the
end of that session.

LZT 138 0240 R2A 141


TEMS Pocket 7.3 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s Manual

• Press Mark to check an action type.


• Press Unmark to uncheck an action type that is currently checked.
• Select an action type and press Edit to configure settings for that action
type. See section 16.1 below.

16.1. Passive Measurement Action Settings


These settings are provided for all actions:
• Duration: Specify the maximum duration (in seconds) of the passive
measurement. If the call or session progresses beyond this point, the
measurement is terminated. The call or session itself continues
undisturbed.
• GPS: This option governs whether to capture positioning data from a GPS
device (see chapter 12). If this option is set, and no GPS is connected as
the passive measurement is triggered, TEMS Pocket will connect to the
GPS for the duration of the measurement. When the passive
measurement has stopped, the GPS will be disconnected again.

This setting is provided for all actions except Startup:


• Store logfiles with: These settings control whether logfiles recorded
during passive measurement will be saved or not.
– Success: Save logfiles where the measurement succeeded.
– Failure: Save logfiles where the measurement failed.
– Abort: Save logfiles where the measurement was aborted by the user.
– Tag: Save logfiles that are manually tagged by the user. Note: The
tagging function (see section 7.5) will be enabled during passive
measurement only if you check this option. Therefore, a tagged logfile
will always be saved.
The first three conditions are mutually exclusive, and they are jointly in an
OR relationship with the Tag condition. For example, if you check Failure
and Tag, a logfile will be saved if the measurement failed or the logfile has
been tagged.

This setting is provided for HTTP and streaming:


• Privacy: If you set this to On, no information on what URLs are visited
appears in the Session Reports recorded in logfiles.

142
Chapter 16. Passive Measurement Menu

16.2. Prioritization of Passive Measurements


Passive measurements are conducted on a “first come, first served” basis.
This means that (leaving aside the Startup option) the first service that is
started will trigger a measurement, and that measurement will continue until
the same service is taken down. Only then will any notice be taken of the use
of other services: the next service started after that point will trigger another
passive measurement, and so on.
One special limitation needs to be mentioned: If you want to make passive
measurements for streaming, you cannot also have HTTP selected as a
trigger of passive measurements. This is because the only way for the phone
user to start a streaming session is from the web browser (by selecting a
bookmark or by clicking a streaming link on a web page), and as soon as the
web browser is launched, that occurrence will trigger passive measurement
for HTTP. The streaming service will thus never be in a position to trigger
measurement, because of the “first come, first served” principle just
explained. To conduct streaming measurements, you need to deselect HTTP.

16.3. Notes on Message Buffering

16.3.1. Pre-guard Period


If at least one of the options other than Startup is checked in the “Passive
measurement” dialog, then the phone will continuously maintain a buffer
holding the most recent signaling (up to 10 seconds’ worth of it). This is to
ensure that when passive measurement is triggered, the file will capture as
much as possible of the signaling leading up to the establishment of the call
or data session. The arrangement thus serves the same purpose as the pre-
guard period set in TEMS Automatic work order actions. In TEMS Pocket the
length of the pre-guard cannot be customized; the exact period of time
spanned by the message buffering depends on the amount of signaling that
has occurred.
The buffering makes the logfile more complete not only for mobile-terminated
(MT) but also for mobile-originated (MO) calls and data sessions. This is
because in the MO case, the recording does not begin instantly as the user
initiates the service from the phone keypad, but only after a certain delay (the
exact details being service-specific).
Selecting the Startup option does not trigger buffering of messages.

LZT 138 0240 R2A 143


TEMS Pocket 7.3 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s Manual

Message buffering is furthermore associated with passive measurement only.


The buffer will be kept up-to-date whenever passive measurement actions
are selected as described above, but if you record a logfile manually (see
section 7.3), the buffer contents are not logged.

16.3.2. Post-guard Period


When the trigger condition for stopping a passive measurement action is
satisfied, a post-guard time of 10 seconds is added before the recording is
stopped and the logfile closed. The purpose of the post-guard period is to
capture signaling taking place in connection with termination of the service.
Exception: The above does not apply to the Startup option and power-off.

all settings currently defined in the application. A message will appear
warning you about this.
• From the Tools menu, select Import settings. Then select the storage
medium where the settings files reside, and locate the files.

• Leave checked all categories of settings that you want to import. Uncheck
the rest, using the Unmark option.

Note: Be aware that FTP settings contain data account definitions.


Importing FTP settings will cause all of these data accounts to be
created on the TEMS Pocket phone. Existing data accounts with
identical name and APN will be overwritten.

TEMS Pocket 7.3 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s Manual

17.3.1. Importing Settings Files from TEMS Pocket


Versions Older than 7.2
The following holds with regard to importing settings from older Sony
Ericsson TEMS Pocket releases:
• Events and General settings apply in exactly the same way as settings
made in TEMS Pocket 7.2 and higher.
• Logfile settings apply, except the “autostart logfile” options which will be
ignored (since this functionality was replaced by the passive
measurement function in TEMS Pocket 7.2).
• FTP settings apply, except that data account settings may be insufficient
since they are handled differently in older versions compared to TEMS
Pocket 7.2 and higher. After importing FTP settings from an older TEMS
Pocket version, you need to verify that all data accounts referred to in the
FTP server configurations are in fact defined on the phone. This is
because in older TEMS Pocket versions, an FTP server configuration only
contains a reference to a data account; it does not include an explicit data
account definition. An FTP server configuration referencing a data
account that is lacking on the phone is of course useless for that phone.
• Command sequence settings cannot be imported, since the command
sequence function was completely reworked in TEMS Pocket 7.2.

17.4. Export Settings


You can export to file all user-configured settings for command sequences,
events, FTP, logfiles, and passive measurement, as well as everything in the
General settings menu.
For each of the categories just mentioned, a single export file is created. For
command sequences, one file lists the default values for all action types, and
one further file is created for each command sequence defined, holding the
full settings for that sequence.
• To perform an export, enter the Tools menu and select Export settings.

148
Chapter 17. Tools Menu

Phone memory: The settings files are saved to the


phone memory.
Memory stick: The settings files are saved to the
memory stick, provided that the phone has got one

Regardless of the choice of storage medium, the
settings files are stored in the directory
Other\Pocket\Settings.

• You are prompted to create a folder for the export files:

After you select one of the options, the export is performed automatically.

Note: Settings exported from TEMS Pocket version 7.2.1 or later


cannot be imported into a TEMS Pocket 7.2.0 or older TEMS
Pocket phone.

17.4.1. Managing Export Files


If you perform multiple exports, you need to create a separate folder for each
set of settings files. If you export to a folder already in existence, the settings
in that folder will be overwritten. The same applies if you copy settings files
from a PC to the TEMS Pocket phone: each set of files needs to be put in a
folder of its own.

Off: No automatic answering of calls.

If MRU (Mobile Receiving Unit) software is installed


on the TEMS Pocket phone, a third option “MRU
replay” appears here. Selecting that option causes
the phone to start functioning as an MRU, which
means that it will automatically answer every
incoming call and play prerecorded speech
sentences for the purpose of audio quality
measurement (AQM). AQM calls are normally
disconnected by the AQM module used in TEMS
Automatic or TEMS Investigation. If the call is not
disconnected by the AQM module within one hour,
the MRU itself disconnects the call to protect
against network malfunctions and fraud calls.

19. Scanning

19.1. Introduction to Scanning


TEMS Pocket is capable of scanning GSM and WCDMA carriers. One
technology at a time can be scanned.
The scanning function is wholly separate from the rest of TEMS Pocket. To
perform scanning you put the application in a special scan mode, as
described in section 19.2 below. While performing a scan, the TEMS Pocket
device ceases to behave like a mobile phone; it cannot make or receive calls,
nor can it engage in data services. Furthermore, the phone-mode TEMS
Pocket functions are not available in scan mode, with the following
exceptions:
• A GPS can be connected.
• Logfiles can be recorded.
A special “Scanner” view presents the results of the scanning. The TEMS
Pocket data views shown in phone mode are not available in scan mode,
except the GPS view where GPS data can be inspected.

19.2. How to Enter Scan Mode


Press the Activity key to enter the Activity menu.
• Select “Operational mode”, then select Scanner. Compare section 7.1.
The view “Scanner 1.1” appears. However, no scan is started automatically
(even if a scanning setup has been specified on a previous occasion).
• How to set up a scan is covered in section 19.3.
• How to start and stop scanning is described in section 19.4.
• To exit scan mode, you simply make a different selection under
Operational mode. Again, see section 7.1 for details.

Chapter 19. Scanning

19.3. Setting Up a Scan


To configure scanning settings, do as follows:

Press the Activity key.


• Select “Scanner menu”. This menu holds a number of submenus, which
are gone through in sections 19.3.1–19.3.4 below.

19.3.1. System
Here you select whether to perform GSM or
WCDMA scanning.

19.3.2. Method

19.3.2.1. GSM Scanning Methods


GSM scanning is always done in the frequency domain, measuring RSSI for
ARFCNs. You can scan:
• a whole GSM band, or
• a user-specified set of ARFCNs (“Custom list”).

“850”, etc.: Select this to scan the indicated


frequency band.
Custom list: Select this to set up your own list of
ARFCNs to scan. In that list you can mix channels
from different bands. Be aware, however, that
mixing ARFCNs from different bands will affect
scanning performance.

TEMS Pocket 7.3 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s Manual

19.3.2.2. WCDMA Scanning Methods


For WCDMA the following scanning methods are available:
• network scan of an entire WCDMA band, searching for UARFCNs where
a CPICH can be detected and measuring the RSSI of these UARFCNs
• CPICH scan, measuring RSCP of scrambling codes (“Custom list”).

19.3.3. Edit Scan List


If you have chosen Custom list under Method
(section 19.3.2), this is where you specify the list of
items to scan.
In GSM, up to 200 ARFCNs can be scanned.
In WCDMA, up to 12 UARFCNs can be CPICH
scanned.
• To add a channel to the scan list, press Add.
You are taken to a new dialog where you enter
the channel number. If that channel number
GSM dialog occurs on several frequency bands, you are
prompted to also specify the band in order to
uniquely identify the channel.
• To remove a channel from the scan list, select
the channel number and press Options →
Delete (or press the C button).
• To blank the scan list, press Options → Delete
all.

WCDMA dialog

Note that you can also add to the scan list by picking a channel in the
Scanner view; see sections 19.6.1.1 and 19.6.2.1.
The scan lists will persist in memory when you exit scan mode (and in fact
also when the phone is turned off).

Chapter 19. Scanning

19.3.4. Advanced

19.3.4.1. Advanced GSM Settings


Decode BSIC: Setting this on causes TEMS
Pocket to decode the BSIC (Base Station Identity
Code) whenever possible. It should be noted that
BSIC decoding is computationally costly and
considerably reduces the sample rate of the scan.

19.3.4.2. Advanced WCDMA Settings


Ec/N0 threshold: Cell Ec/N0 threshold for cell
detection within a detected carrier. Valid for all
WCDMA scanning.
This threshold should be high enough to minimize
the false detection rate, yet not so high that cells
actually present may go undetected. The risk of the
latter is particularly pronounced in the case of
overlapping carriers, where all cells will be
significantly disturbed.
The default setting is –26 dB, which should be
suitable in most situations.
The path Ec/N0 threshold is automatically set 2 dB
lower than the cell Ec/N0 threshold.

RSSI threshold: RSSI threshold for CPICH


detection. Valid for network (whole-band) scanning
only.
The default setting is –94 dB, reflecting a trade-off
between the desire to detect all networks in
operation and the wish to avoid spurious “hits”.
Setting the threshold too low results in a very long
search time (e.g. several minutes at –100 dB).

Note: To input the minus sign, press the * or # key after typing the digits.
For example, to type “-95”, press {9, 5, *} or {9, 5, #}.

19.3.5. Notes on Changing the Scan Setup


It is possible to edit scanning settings while a scan is in progress. If the
changes made to the settings do not affect the ongoing scan (for example,
changing the GSM custom list while a GSM whole-band scan is being
conducted), the scan will continue uninterrupted. However, if your changes
do have bearing on the current scan, the scan will be halted, and a new scan
according to the new settings will be started.

19.4. Starting and Stopping a Scan


• While in the Scanner 1.1 view, press Start.
When you start scanning, the signal strength indicator in the top left corner of
the screen will go down to zero.

• To stop the scan, press Stop.

19.5. Other TEMS Pocket Functionality Available in


Scan Mode

19.5.1. Using a GPS


A GPS can be connected just as in phone mode: the Activity menu includes a
command “Connect GPS”/“Disconnect GPS”. See section 7.8. Refer to
chapter 12 for general information on using GPS units with TEMS Pocket.

Note: GPS settings must be configured while in phone mode, as


detailed in chapter 12. In scan mode, these settings cannot be
accessed.

160
Chapter 19. Scanning

The “GPS” data view is accessible in scan mode. For a description of this
view, turn to section 4.6.

19.5.2. Recording Logfiles


Logfiles can be recorded manually in scan mode the same way as in phone
mode. That is, the following commands are available in the Activity menu:
• Start logfile rec./Stop logfile rec.
• Insert filemark (visible while recording is in progress)
What is said about manual recording in sections 7.2 and 7.3 holds true for
scan mode also.
Logfile transfer via FTP is not available in scan mode; you need to switch
TEMS Pocket to phone mode before you can transfer logfiles. Once the
application is in phone mode, you can transfer scanning logfiles just like any
others. See sections 7.7, 14.3, and 14.4.
Replay of scan data is not supported in TEMS Pocket. However, you can
study your TEMS Pocket scanning logfiles by loading them into other TEMS
products:
• TEMS Investigation, version 10.1 or later
• TEMS Automatic, version 8.0 or later
• TEMS Presentation, version 2.0 or later

19.6. Scan Presentation: Scanner View (No. 1.1)


The results of any scan, regardless of technology and other settings, are
presented in a bar chart in the Scanner view.
The Scanner view always fits the entire set of channels scanned (whether a
band of contiguous channels or a collection of handpicked ones) into a single
screen width. This mode of presentation allows you to continuously monitor
all channels of interest and ensures that you will not miss out on any
significant signals as the radio environment changes.
If the total number of scanned channels is large, it may not be possible to
display every channel individually; rather, each bar will then represent a
group of channels. To allow inspection of individual channels, a “magnifying
glass” feature is provided: as you scroll through the channel range, a block of
channels centered around your current position is enlarged, so that each
channel in that block is drawn separately. The enlarged segment appears

LZT 138 0240 R2A 161


TEMS Pocket 7.3 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s Manual

within a sliding frame. See the sequence of screenshots below, where the
user is scrolling from left to right:

Further examples of this feature appear in subsections 19.6.1–19.6.2 below.

162
Chapter 19. Scanning

The magnifying frame (black with rounded corners) encloses the channels
currently in focus. Within the frame, five ARFCNs are displayed individually;
these are also tabulated in the text pane at the bottom. Press the left and right
navigation keys to move the magnifying frame and scroll through the
frequency band.
For the channels in focus, the following holds:
• The bar height encodes the RSSI of the corresponding ARFCN.
• A green bar means that BSIC has been decoded for this ARFCN.
• A red bar means that no BSIC has been decoded for this ARFCN.
The center ARFCN among the channels in focus (bar with black contour) can
be added to the custom scan list by pressing Options → “Add to scan list”.
This function lets you pick channels of particular interest and monitor only
those.
For channels out of focus, each bar may represent several ARFCNs (how
many depends on the total number of channels in the band):
• The bar height encodes the maximum RSSI in the ARFCN group.
• A green bar means that BSIC has been decoded for at least one ARFCN.
• A red bar means that no BSIC has been decoded for any of the ARFCNs.

The magnifying frame (black with rounded corners) encloses the channels
currently in focus. It works the same way as for the whole-band scan. The bar
height and color, too, have the same interpretation as for the whole-band
scan. See section 19.6.1.1.

The magnifying frame is present here just as for GSM scanning. In the above
example, however, the frame encompasses the entire bar chart because
fewer than five UARFCNs have been detected. If more than five UARFCNs
appear, you can move the magnifying frame by using the left and right
navigation keys.
The bar height encodes the UARFCN RSSI. All bars are colored green.
The center UARFCN among those in focus (bar with black contour) can be
added to the custom scan list. This function lets you pick out the UARFCNs
where traffic occurs and subject these to a CPICH scan.
• Select the UARFCN of interest.
• Press Options → “Add to scan list”.

in black). For that UARFCN, the strongest scrambling codes detected (up to
six)1 are drawn in shades of blue on top of the UARFCN bar. Use the left and
right navigation keys to scroll through the UARFCNs presented.
• The bar height encodes the RSSI of the corresponding UARFCN.
• A green bar means that at least one scrambling code has been detected
on this UARFCN.
• A red bar means that no scrambling code has been detected on this
UARFCN.

19.6.3. Freezing the Scanner View


• To freeze the Scanner view without exiting it, press Pause. This action
simply halts the updating of the Scanner view; the scanning itself
continues without interruption, even though no new samples are
presented, and so does the logfile recording if that function is active.
• Press Resume to resume updating of the scan presentation.

19.7. GPS View (No. 1.2)


The GPS data view is the same as in phone mode. See section 4.6.

19.8. The Built-in Help Function


If you press Options and select “Toggle help”, a callout box appears
describing a piece of data on the screen. Use the navigation key to navigate
the contents of the data view.

• To turn off the help function, press the C key. Alternatively, press Options
and choose Toggle help again.

19.9. The Capture Function


You can take screenshots of data views in scan mode just as in phone mode.
To do this, you must first turn the screen capture function on (while in a data
view) by selecting Options → Toggle capture. You can now take a screenshot
of the Scanner or GPS view at any time by pressing the Capture button.

20. Uploading TEMS Pocket


Logfiles from the Phone File
System

Besides the TEMS Pocket internal logfile upload functions, covered in


sections 7.7, 14.3 and 14.4, a further FTP upload command is available. This
command is separate from the TEMS Pocket user interface but is
nonetheless a feature specific to TEMS Pocket phones.
• In the phone’s main menu, navigate to Organiser → File manager →
Other → Pocket → Pro and select the logfile(s) you want to upload.
– To select a single logfile, just navigate to that file. Then press Send.

– To select multiple logfiles, choose Options → Mark → “Mark several”,


then check the files that are to be uploaded. Alternatively, choose
“Mark all” to check all files in the directory. Then choose Options →
Send.

168
Chapter 20. Uploading TEMS Pocket Logfiles from the Phone File System

• In either case, a menu of send options now appears. From that menu,
select “Via FTP”. (This option is not found in commercial phones. It can
only be used to transfer TEMS Pocket logfiles; if a file other than a TEMS
Pocket logfile has been selected, the Via FTP option does not appear.).
• You are now taken to the list of FTP servers you have defined in TEMS
Pocket; see section 13.2. Select the FTP server you want to upload to.
• The upload starts.
After a logfile has been uploaded by this method, it is deleted from the phone
file system.

TEMS Pocket 7.3 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s Manual

21. Battery Charging


Considerations

Running several tasks in parallel on the Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a
places a heavy load on the phone battery. It may in fact happen that the
battery charger cannot keep up with the power consumption, so that the
battery will eventually be drained even if the charger is connected all the time.
This situation may arise for example if the phone is more or less constantly
using one service or another while at the same time having its display fully lit.
Some specific advice on battery charging related matters is given below.

21.1. Choice of Phone Charger


When engaging the phone in highly power-consuming tasks, you should
always use the regular phone charger. The USB charger which is also
provided with the phone is only about one third as powerful, which will often
be vastly insufficient when running TEMS Pocket.

21.2. Using the Phone’s Built-in GPS


You need to be aware that using the phone’s internal GPS with TEMS Pocket
very considerably increases the power consumption and hence the risk that
the battery charger cannot keep up.

21.3. Using a TEMS Pocket Command Sequence


If you are using the command sequence function in TEMS Pocket, you must
take special steps to ensure that the phone battery is not drained.
To understand why it is first necessary to explain how the battery charging in
the Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a works.
First we need to define the end-of-charge (EoC) state for the battery. This is a
state where the battery is regarded as fully charged by the phone’s charging
algorithm. The precise details need not bother us; however, and crucially, the

170
Chapter 21. Battery Charging Considerations

method of testing whether the EoC state has been reached is to measure the
average current flowing to/from the battery over a period of time.
Now, if TEMS Pocket is continuously executing a command sequence (say,
making voice calls), the phone will be switching frequently between idle and
dedicated mode. This in turn means that the current to the battery will not be
constant enough for the EoC state ever to be reached. Even if the battery
charge level remains high at all times (for example, above 90%), the charging
algorithm will never consider the battery to be fully charged.
Since prolonged charging of the battery increases the risk of battery failure,
the charging algorithm has a safety timer that disables the charger after four
hours if the battery has failed to reach the EoC state within this time. If this
happens, the phone will run on batteries until the charger is disconnected and
reconnected, or until the phone is power cycled. If neither of these actions is
performed, and a command sequence is running, the battery will be drained
in a fairly short time.
For example, suppose that the following command sequence is executed:
• One action, voice call (see section 15.2.3)
• Call duration = 15 s
• Guard time = 60 s
The phone performs charging in idle mode only, unless the battery charge is
low. In the above case, the phone is idle about 50% of the time, so after about
4 × 2 = 8 hours the safety timer expires and the charger is disabled. After that
the phone runs on battery power only, and tests using a battery in near mint
condition have shown that the battery is then drained in about 4 hours.
To prevent this situation from arising, you have two options:
• One way is to disable the command sequence for a while (before the
safety timer expires) to give the phone an unbroken stretch of time in idle
mode and allow the battery to reach the EoC state. Note, however, that
the length of the break required depends on the settings in the command
sequence and on the general condition of the battery. In the above test
case, an idle mode period of 15–20 minutes was required, but in other
circumstances more time may be needed. (You must halt the command
sequence manually, as described in section 7.9.)
• Another approach is simply to make sure you disconnect the battery
charger physically from the phone (or unplug the charger from its power
source) before the battery is drained, and then reconnect the charger.
The latter option is the only completely safe one, and it is therefore
recommended.
