TEMS Pocket 7.2 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a Users Manual

viii

Chapter 1. Introduction

1.

Introduction

Welcome to TEMS Pocket. TEMS Pocket is an advanced cellular network diagnostics tool built into a Sony Ericsson or Nokia 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 7.2 (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.

Whats New in TEMS Pocket 7.2

TEMS Pocket 7.2 is a Sony Ericsson based release, the successor to TEMS Pocket 7.0. (TEMS Pocket 7.1 is a Nokia-based release.)

1.1.1.

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

TEMS Pocket 7.2 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a Users Manual

1.1.2.

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

1.1.3.

New GPS

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

1.1.4.

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 ETFCI, average Serving Grant Index, average transport block size, and the UE happy rate.

1.2.
1.2.1.

What Was New in TEMS Pocket 7.0


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 8.1 megapixel camera Integrated GPS

1.2.2.

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:

Chapter 1. Introduction

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.

1.2.3.

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.

1.2.4.

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 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.

1.2.5.

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 phones position in

LZT 138 0240 R1A

TEMS Pocket 7.2 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a Users Manual

dedicated/connected mode. The buffer is cleared when the phone is restarted.

1.2.6.

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 users 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.

1.2.7.

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.

Overview of TEMS Pocket

2.1.

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:

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 phones current serving cell supports WCDMA R99 (but not HSDPA). An H symbol indicating that the current serving cell supports HSDPA.

LZT 138 0240 R1A

TEMS Pocket 7.2 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a Users Manual

The top section of the display also shows: a symbol indicating that a logfile is being recorded (see section 7.3) a symbol indicating that a logfile is being replayed, and the status of the replay (see section 7.4.2) a symbol indicating that a cell control function is currently applied (see section 8.2) an icon for the latest TEMS Pocket event that occurred (if it occurred within the last 15 minutes; see section 8.3.4)

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.

2.1.1.

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 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 2.1.

2.2.

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 2.5.3.

Chapter 2. Overview of TEMS Pocket

2.3.

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

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 phones main menu: Settings General Pocket menu. Note: TEMS Pocket settings are always saved in the phones 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.

2.4.

Events

Events are generated and logged by TEMS Pocket to indicate that something interesting and worthy of note has occurred in the phones interaction with the cellular network. The event log is inspected and managed from the Pocket menu. See section 8.3.1. A shortcut to the event log is found in the Activity menu.

2.5.
2.5.1.

Logfiles
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 8.7.

2.5.2.

GPS Positioning

TEMS Pocket supports positioning of data using GPS. You can use either the phones internal GPS or an external GPS unit that has been Bluetooth paired with the phone. See section 8.5.

2.5.3.

Positioning by Pinpointing

In an indoor environment or other location without GPS coverage, you can use the Map view (see section 2.2) 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.

2.6.

Cell Control Functions

TEMS Pocket has a number of cell control functions for controlling the phones behavior in the cellular network. These include locking the phone to a RAT, band, cell, or channel. See section 8.2 for full details.

Chapter 2. Overview of TEMS Pocket

2.7.

Command Sequence

TEMS Pocket offers the use of a command sequence for automated testing of various services. See section 8.8.

2.8.

Storage Medium: Phone Memory vs. Memory Stick

In general it is recommendable to use a memory stick rather than the phones 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.

2.9.

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

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 137. 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.

10

Chapter 3. Data Views: General

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.

The WAP Browser Data Views

While the WAP browser (activated from the phones 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 8.10.1.

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. There are no actions associated with the WAP browser data views.

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 8.3.1.3 and 8.3.2). Data views with graphs have no actions associated with them.

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 phones 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.

Pinpointing Your Test Route


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 colorcoded according to RxLev (in GSM) or UTRA Carrier RSSI (in WCDMA). The

LZT 138 0240 R1A

color coding is explained in appendix B, page 137. 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.

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.

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.

When you are done with the measurement, press Options and select Data view actions Stop pinpointing.

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 Users 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.

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 particular 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.

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 Logfiles menu; see section 8.7.2. 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 section 8.7 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 8.7.1) 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 8.2.1) 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

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.

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.

The Pocket Menu

8.1.

General

The Pocket menu can be accessed from the Activity menu from the phones main menu by choosing Settings. The Pocket menu appears at the top of the General tab. Cell control menu: Used to control the phones behavior in the network (lock on RAT/band/frequency/cell etc.). See section 8.2. Events menu: Used to show and control the event log, event counters, and event settings. See section 8.3. Data views menu: Used to control visibility of data views. See section 8.4. GPS menu: Used to configure GPS settings. See section 8.5. FTP menu: Used to set up FTP sessions and FTP logfile transfer. See section 8.6. Logfile menu: Used to configure automated logfile transfer. See section 8.7. Command sequence menu: Used to define a command sequence. See section 8.8. Tools menu: Used for various purposes, including import and export of user-defined TEMS Pocket settings. See section 8.9. General settings menu: Used to control miscellaneous TEMS Pocket settings. See section 8.10.

The Pocket menu has the following submenus:

78

Chapter 8. The Pocket Menu

8.2.

Cell Control Menu

In this menu are collected the functions that modify the phones behavior in the network.

8.2.1.

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.

8.2.2.

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. 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 8.2.6.

LZT 138 0240 R1A

79

TEMS Pocket 7.2 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a Users Manual

Note: In the phones main menu (Settings Connectivity tab 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 8.2.1) 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).

8.2.3.

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 4.8. Regarding interplay between locking functions, see section 8.2.6.

8.2.4.

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.

80

Chapter 8. The Pocket Menu

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, 4.14, and 4.15. Regarding interplay between locking functions, see section 8.2.6.

8.2.5.

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.

Off: Function not applied. 850, etc.: The phone will be locked to the indicated GSM band.

LZT 138 0240 R1A

81

TEMS Pocket 7.2 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a Users Manual

The phone cannot be band-locked while a voice or video call is in progress. Regarding interplay between locking functions, see section 8.2.6.

8.2.6.

Interplay between Locking Functions

If you lock the phone to a cell, UARFCN, or band (sections 8.2.3, 8.2.4, 8.2.5), 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.

8.2.7.

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 8.2.6 above.) For full details, see the TEMS Investigation 10.0 Data Collection Users Manual, section 15.2.1.

8.2.8.

Voice Codec GSM

This function is used to modify the list of preferred GSM voice codecs that the phone reports to the network. In the dialog are shown all GSM voice codecs that the phone supports. You cannot deselect all codecs in the dialog; at least one codec must remain selected at all times.

82

Chapter 8. The Pocket Menu

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. 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

8.2.9.

HS Capability

You can enable or disable the TEMS Pocket phones HSPA capabilities as shown below. Note that this function does not affect the behavior of the 3G/H status bar symbol (see section 2.1). 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.

LZT 138 0240 R1A

83

TEMS Pocket 7.2 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a Users Manual

8.2.10.

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.

8.2.11.

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.

8.3.

Events Menu

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 8.3.1.3.

87

TEMS Pocket 7.2 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a Users Manual

Sound: Off means that no sound will be played when the event occurs. Default means that, in idle mode, the sound predefined 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 phones 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 8.3.1.3), 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 8.3.5.

8.3.3.

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.

8.3.3.1.

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 8. The Pocket Menu

8.5.

GPS Menu

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. You can export your GPS settings to file; they are included in the Export settings operation (Tools menu: see section 8.9.4).

Using the Built-in GPS


The Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a 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 phones 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 phones 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. The built-in GPS consumes a large amount of power and thus requires frequent charging of the phone battery. See section 10.2 for some further specifics on this matter.

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.

LZT 138 0240 R1A

99

TEMS Pocket 7.2 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a Users Manual

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 as described in section 8.5.2. The Assisted start option (see Using the Built-in GPS above) cannot be combined with an external GPS.

8.5.1.

GPS Connect
Off: The phone will not connect to any GPS (whether internal or external), and the Connect GPS item in the Activity menu (section 7.7) is hidden. If a GPS unit is currently connected, choosing this option will disconnect it. If a connect is in progress, it will be aborted. Manual: The phone can be connected manually to a GPS (internal or external) by using the command in the Activity menu (see section 7.7). If a manual connect fails, an error message is displayed. Automatic: If GPS device (see section 8.5.2) 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 try to connect to the selected GPS automatically as soon as the phone is turned on. 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. Switching between the options Manual and Automatic disconnects a GPS that is currently connected.

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 8.5.1), the GPS device dialog is not accessible. Internal: TEMS Pocket will use the phones 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 7.7) 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.

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. FTP Get parameters If the phone runs out of memory during an FTP Get 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 8.6.2). 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:

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 of the FTP server. This can be either an alphanumeric string, without ftp:// at the beginning (for example, ftp.myftpserver.com), or a 12-digit number. 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. FTP password: User password on the FTP server. (continued on next page)

104

Chapter 8. The Pocket Menu

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 8.6.1). 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.

8.7.

Logfile Menu

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 ordinary files in the phone file system and can be handled from the File manager. Logfiles are stored either in the internal phone memory or on a memory stick (see section 8.7.1 below). Sony Ericsson phones support Memory Stick M2. 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: see section 8.7.2. TEMS Pocket has a logfile replay function, described in section 7.4. You can also transfer the logfiles to a PC and replay them in TEMS Investigation (version 10.0.3 or later) or import them into the database of a TEMS Automatic system (version 8.0 or later). The file transfer can be done through a USB cable or via Bluetooth. It is also possible to upload logfiles to an FTP server using the built-in FTP client (see sections 8.7.3 and 8.7.6), or to send logfiles as attachments to e-mail. To reduce FTP transfer times, you can opt to compress logfiles prior to upload. This is dealt with in section 8.7.4.

You can export all logfile-related settings to file; they are included in the Export settings operation (Tools menu: see section 8.9.4).

8.7.1.

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.

8.7.2.

Autostart Logfile

You can configure logfile recording to start automatically in certain situations. Below it is indicated when the automatic recording terminates if you do not stop the recording manually from the Activity menu (which is always possible; 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 7.6) and stops at the end of that session. (Recording is not triggered by uploading logfiles via FTP.) Press Mark to check an option. Press Unmark to uncheck an option that is currently checked. Press Save to confirm your selections.

Chapter 8. The Pocket Menu

8.7.2.1.

Notes on Message Buffering: Pre-guard Period

If at least one of the options Voice, Video, and FTP is checked in the Autostart logfile 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 logfile recording 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. Message buffering is furthermore associated with automatic logfile recording only. The buffer will be kept up-to-date whenever autostart options are selected as described above, but if you record a logfile manually (see section 7.3), the buffer contents are not logged.

8.7.2.2.

Post-guard Period

When the trigger condition for stopping an automatic logfile recording 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.

Upload Logfile
Here you configure uploading of logfiles via FTP to an FTP server. What server to upload to is selected in the FTP server submenu: see section 8.7.6. Immediate: Each logfile is uploaded as soon as it has been recorded. Schedule: Logfiles are uploaded according to a schedule that you define here. Select this option to enter the Start time screen, then turn to section 8.7.3.1. Each time an upload is performed, all logfiles are sent that have not yet been uploaded (logfiles created since the last upload, plus any older logfiles that may remain because you aborted uploading of these files). Off: No 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 7.6).a

a. There is yet another way to upload logfiles manually, using a command accessed from the phone file system. See chapter 9.

Logfiles cannot be uploaded while a command sequence is executing or during logfile replay. If a logfile upload comes due (according to the upload schedule defined) while one of these tasks is in progress, that upload is simply canceled. Uploads are resumed (again following the upload schedule) after the command sequence or replay has been ended. A set of events is provided reporting on the progress and outcome of each automatic upload. See section 8.3.5.8.

8.7.3.1. Step 1

Setting an Upload Schedule

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.

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 7.6). If you abort an upload, the files that were not transferred will be included in the next upload.

TEMS Pocket 7.2 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a Users Manual

8.7.4.

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 procedure chosen (automatic or manual: see section 8.7.3). 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 7.6), 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.

110

Chapter 8. The Pocket Menu

8.7.5.

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.

8.7.6.

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 8.6.2). Note that the Remote directory parameter must have a valid value for any server that is going to be used for logfile uploads.

8.8.

Command Sequence Menu

TEMS Pocket supports automation of voice calls, video calls, and FTP data sessions using the command sequence. The command sequence can only run one service at a time; it is not possible to mix, for example, voice and FTP in the sequence. You start and stop the command sequence from the Activity menu: see section 7.8. While the command sequence is executing it will repeat the action defined for it over and over again.

Uploading TEMS Pocket Logfiles from the Phone File System

Besides the TEMS Pocket internal logfile upload functions, covered in sections 7.6 and 8.7.3, 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 phones 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.

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 8.6.2. 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.

Chapter 10. Battery Charging Considerations

10.

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.

10.1.

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.

10.2.

Using the Phones Built-in GPS

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

10.3.

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 phones charging algorithm. The precise details need not bother us; however, and crucially, the

LZT 138 0240 R1A

123

TEMS Pocket 7.2 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a Users Manual

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: Voice call (see section 8.8.1) 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 1520 minutes was required, but in other circumstances more time may be needed. (You must halt the command sequence manually, as described in section 7.8.) 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.
