TEMS Pocket 13.3 Users Manual1.2. TEMS Pocket EditionsPlease note that the TEMS Pocket product also exists in various regional editions, all of which are covered by the product documentation (including this manual) but are not differentiated there. This means that descriptions of functionality and external device compatibility are not necessarily applicable in every single respect to the TEMS Pocket edition you have purchased. Any restrictions that apply to your edition are indicated in the Release Note included in the delivery.

1.3. What to Do If TEMS Pocket Is Uninstalled

Note: If you switch Google accounts on your TEMS Pocket device, perform a hardware reset on the device, or do something else that causes the TEMS Pocket application to be removed, contact TEMS Customer Care ([email protected]) in order to obtain the TEMS Pocket PC installer enabling you to re-install TEMS Pocket.2

Chapter 2. Recently Introduced Features in TEMS Pocket2. Recently Introduced Features in TEMS Pocket

2.1. Whats New in TEMS Pocket 13.3

2.1.1. Multi-device TEMS Pocket: Controller/AgentsWith TEMS Pocket 13.3 we launch a multi-device measurement setup where one controller device (preferably a tablet) controls the actions of a set of agent devices. A tailor-made backpack solution has been designed for carrying the agents up to seven of these, optionally including a DRT scanner. The communication between controller and agents takes place over Bluetooth.

The point of this setup is to let you operate a whole battery of TEMS Pocket devices through a single interface. On the controller device you can start and stop scripts on the agents, and monitor the progress and status of each agent. You can position measurement data for all agents at once by pinpointing in the controller Indoor Map view.

2.1.2. YouTube TestingYou can now test download and replay of YouTube video clips in TEMS Pocket. A newly created action takes care of this task, presenting the footage in a special free-floating view nailed to the foreground.

A host of new value elements report on the performance of the HTTP streaming, and a freshly designed progress view keeps you updated on the unfolding of the YouTube session.

2.1.3. LTE RACH Analysis Data ViewA new data view displays parameters and data related to RACH signaling and paging in LTE. It is similar to existing RACH views for WCDMA and GSM and indicates, among other things:NT13-27466 ver 1.0 3

TEMS Pocket 13.3 Users Manual Reason for RACH signaling, type of RACH procedure.

Preamble settings such as initial Tx Power, power ramping step size, and maximum number of preambles; during preamble transmission, Tx Power for current preamble.

Outcome of RACH procedure.

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

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

2.1.6. Selective Wi-Fi ScanningWi-Fi scanning consumes considerable resources and will detract noticeably from the performance of Wi-Fi data transfer if performed continually. A new function has therefore been introduced which allows you to turn off TEMS Pocket-induced Wi-Fi scanning while data is being transferred via Wi-Fi.

2.1.7. Customizable Value Element Display FormatsThe presentation of value elements such as cell identities and LAC/RAC/TAC can be switched between decimal and hexadecimal. In some cases, additional and data-specific presentation formats are available, such as LTE PCI split into Group ID and Phy ID.

2.1.8. Dynamic Naming of Files Uploaded via FTPWhen testing FTP upload, you can have each transferred file named dynamically and uniquely instead of using an unchanging static name. 4

Chapter 2. Recently Introduced Features in TEMS PocketDynamic file names are composed of the current date and time concatenated with the device serial number.

2.2. What Was New in TEMS Pocket 13.2

2.2.1. LTE Scanning with DRT4311B ScannerTEMS Pocket 13.2 introduced a unique in-building solution for high-performance, multi-technology scanning using an external scanner from DRT (model name: DRT4311B). This solution offers a significant reduction in weight and power consumption compared to traditional scanners, and it removes the need for a cumbersome laptop-based configuration. Simply hook up the lean and lightweight scanner via USB directly to your TEMS Pocket smartphone or tablet for a discreet and super-portable scanning setup, ideal for todays heterogeneous networks and for small-cell/DAS deployments.

As a first step, TDD and FDD LTE Reference Signal scanning was offered in TEMS Pocket 13.2. Scans can be either manual or scripted; in either case, as it is handled by a separate device, the scanning is completely independent of other TEMS Pocket activities and can run in parallel with any of these.

2.2.2. New Device: LG Lucid 2 (VS870)This in an LTE/CDMA smartphone. It is the first TEMS Pocket device to support voice calls over LTE (VoLTE).

Frequency bands:

LTE 700 (Band 13)

CDMA 800 (BC 0), 1900 (BC 14)

Throughput categories:

LTE Category 3 (100/50 Mbit/s)

EV-DO Rev. A (3.1 Mbit/s)

Google Android 4.1.2

Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n

Integrated GPS with A-GPS support

Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960NT13-27466 ver 1.0 5

TEMS Pocket 13.3 Users Manual CPU: Dual-core 1.2 GHz

Note: This device is operator-locked to Verizon.

2.2.3. VoLTE SupportThe LG Lucid 2 smartphone is the first TEMS Pocket device capable of VoLTE voice call testing. Scripting of VoLTE calls is handled by the Voice and Voice MT actions. In the former, a new Call type setting determines whether to use a circuit-switched or packet-switched bearer.

Audio quality measurement with the POLQA algorithm can be done during VoLTE calls.

2.2.4. IP Capture from Device ModemAn additional option was introduced for IP sniffing. IP logs can be extracted not only from the Android IP stack but also from the device modem (that is, when the data transfer is done over a mobile network as opposed to Wi-Fi).

For VoLTE, it is essential to log IP data from the device modem to furnish input to KPI calculation in post-processing tools such as TEMS Discovery.

2.2.5. Half-duplex Mobile-to-mobile POLQAIn mobile-to-mobile calls between two TEMS Pocket 13.2 devices, POLQA voice quality scores can be computed at both ends during the same call. Each speech sentence is transmitted in both directions, enabling each device to calculate a POLQA score for it.

POLQA can be computed both for CS voice (except on CDMA) and for VoLTE.

2.2.6. Locking to Multiple RATs and BandsThe RAT lock control function was refined in TEMS Pocket 13.2 to permit locking of the TEMS Pocket device to a subset of multiple radio access technologies, not just to a single technology. For example, the device can be allowed to camp on GSM and WCDMA while being prevented from accessing LTE.

For band lock, the option of locking on more than one band already existed for LTE and WCDMA but was introduced for GSM as well.6

Chapter 2. Recently Introduced Features in TEMS Pocket2.2.7. Cell File Data Used as Guidance with Locking Functions

More ample use is made of cell file data in TEMS Pocket 13.2:

When selecting a cell to lock on, you can search the cell file for parameter values as well as arbitrary text in cell names. The latter is especially helpful when you need to identify a cell based on its location. A cell turned up by the search can be picked as a lock target by a single-tap operation.

In the RAT lock dialog it is shown for each RAT how many bands and cells the device supports for that technology. Similarly, for the band lock function, a cell count is given for each supported band.

2.2.8. Data Mode IndicationThe current RAT string in the data view header was supplemented with an indication of data mode, meaning the type of bearer currently being used for data transfer. This can be either a mobile network bearer or Wi-Fi.

The TEMS Pocket data mode indication is much more fine-grained than the one given on the Android status bar: to give just one example, within WCDMA it distinguishes all of the following: 3G (non-HS), HSPA, HSPA DC (dual carrier), HSPA+, HSPA+ MIMO, HSPA+ DC, and HSPA+ DC MIMO.

2.2.9. WCDMA Fast Dormancy ControlFast dormancy is a 3GPP mechanism designed to save smartphone battery as well as network resources by minimizing the time the device spends in power-consuming states. The mobile device initiates the procedure by sending a message to the network where it requests to end the current data session.

A new control function in TEMS Pocket 13.2 lets you decide whether to allow or inhibit fast dormancy in a WCDMA network. If you inhibit the mechanism, the devices session end requests will be suppressed, so that the network will not receive them.NT13-27466 ver 1.0 7

TEMS Pocket 13.3 Users Manual2.2.10. HTTP PostHTTP Post offers an alternative route to testing uplink performance, with a Web server at the other end instead of an FTP server. The HTTP Post operation is handled by the same script action type as HTTP Get.

2.3. What Was New in TEMS Pocket 13.1

2.3.4. Sony Xperia LT25i with External AntennasAn external antenna kit is offered with TEMS Pocket on the Sony Xperia LT25i phone. The device is then permanently fitted with SMA female connectors on the back of the phone.

With an external antenna you can easily verify previously deployed antenna solutions, or find faulty cables, using only a mobile device. The antenna kit also includes a mini-antenna for normal handheld use; the phones internal antenna, on the other hand, is permanently disabled in this configuration.

The external antenna solution is available with TEMS Pocket Professional and TEMS Pocket Standard.

2.3.5. TEMS Pocket RemoteTEMS Pocket 13.1 saw the introduction of a new TEMS Pocket Remote package on the Android platform. A TEMS Pocket running in Remote mode can be used as an unattended probe tasked with (for example) monitoring or benchmarking. The device is then controlled remotely from Ascoms Fleet Manager and does not expose the regular TEMS Pocket user interface.

The behavior of a TEMS Pocket Remote device as an autonomous probe can be flexibly configured on-screen, for example with regard to registration procedures and measurement data upload.

2.3.6. User-customizable Data ViewsAs a complement to the predefined data views, TEMS Pocket 13.1 comes equipped with a set of blank views whose contents you customize yourself in whatever way you like. The views are overlaid with a grid, which 10

Chapter 2. Recently Introduced Features in TEMS Pocketyou populate piece by piece with a mosaic of the value elements you want to monitor.

You build these custom views from the same types of graphical elements that make up the predefined views:

Line charts with or without a legend and labeling of axes.

Value bars whose length and color represent the current value of a parameter or measured quantity. The value and unit are also printed as text on top of the bar.

Value labels presenting value elements as text only.

Static text labels describing the data seen in the view.

2.3.7. User-friendly Script and Map Set File NamesThe file naming of scripts and map sets created in TEMS Pocket was changed to a more human-readable format to make files easier to find.

2.3.8. Max/Min Duration Timers in Script ActionsFrom TEMS Pocket 13.1 onward, script actions are equipped with maximum/minimum timers which can optionally be used to control the action duration. If the action duration reaches the stipulated maximum, the action is immediately ended. On the other hand, if the action completes in less than the minimum execution time, TEMS Pocket will wait until the minimum timer expires and only then continue.

2.4. What Was New in TEMS Pocket 13.0The most pervasive change from TEMS Pocket 12.x to 13.0 was that a range of new phones running Android 4 replaced older phones.

2.4.7. New GPS: Garmin GLOGarmin GLO is a combined GPS and GLONASS receiver with wireless Bluetooth connectivity. The GPS/GLONASS combination can receive positioning information from up to 24 more satellites than GPS-only receivers.NT13-27466 ver 1.0 15

TEMS Pocket 13.3 Users ManualGLO supports a positioning update frequency of 10 Hz (10 updates per second). Many receivers on the market today only support 1 update per second, giving GLO higher location resolution which is suitable when traveling at vehicular speeds.

GLO has up to 12 hours of battery life and is easy to charge with the included USB cable.

2.4.8. New Device Control Function: LTE EARFCN LockThe Sony Xperia LT25i and LT30a models come with the capability to lock on one LTE EARFCN (also known as LTE carrier lock). This function further expands the range of market-unique capabilities which continues to save TEMS product users untold hours in their daily work.

As operators are beginning to deploy additional carriers in their LTE networks in order to grow their capacity, LTE EARFCN lock enables them to do so more accurately, efficiently, and unobtrusively than is possible with alternative solutions.

Just like previously introduced control functions, the EARFCN lock can be applied in real time to an individual EARFCN (carrier). One initial reboot of the device is required to put the device in a state where it prevents or allows handovers, but when applying the function itself no reboot is needed unlike other similar solutions, which require a reboot for every EARFCN change. TEMS Pocket allows the user to combine the locking capabilities with automated service tests, greatly increasing operational efficiency.

Note: The LTE EARFCN lock offered in TEMS Pocket 13.0 works differently compared to the WCDMA and GSM carrier lock features.

2.4.9. New Device Control Function: Access Class LockSony Xperia LT25i and LT30a handsets are capable of controlling what access classes (ACs) they are members of. This feature allows the device to simulate an AC other than the one originally assigned to the USIM. In this way, a network can easily be evaluated with devices belonging to different ACs.

Access classes range from 0 to 15. Of these, 09 are default classes, whereas membership of ACs 1015 entitles a device to make access attempts in various special situations: for example, NW access emergency calls (class 10) and Security service (class 12).16

Chapter 2. Recently Introduced Features in TEMS PocketIn TEMS Pocket, the user can simply check a box for each access class the device should be included in. Alternative ways to test the full range of ACs would require multiple different SIM cards and manual configuration of the handset, and would take significantly longer to set up and test reliably.

2.4.10. WCDMA Cell Lock (UARFCN and SC) on Sony Xperia LT25i/LT30a

For more than a decade now, the TEMS portfolio has been able to provide a unique type of locking functionality, designed and developed by Ascom with network testing specifically in mind. This is something unique in the industry.

In TEMS Pocket 13.0, WCDMA Cell Lock (UARFCN and SC) control capabilities were introduced on the Sony Xperia LT25i and LT30a phones. Like other control functions, this one can be applied in real time, and unlike those offered by some other solutions, its use does not require a reboot of the device.

It must be noted that in connected mode, WCDMA Cell Lock on Sony Xperia LT25i/LT30a works somewhat differently than on Sony Xperia arc S LT18i/a and other older TEMS Pocket devices. In idle mode, on the other hand, the function is similar. See section 11.6 for further details.

2.4.11. Mobile-to-mobile POLQATEMS Pocket 13.0 added convenient and cost-efficient mobile-to-mobile POLQA capabilities to Sony Xperia LT25i devices.

A mobile-to-mobile solution has a number of benefits compared to mobile-to-fixed solutions:

No external hardware needed, just two devices with voice subscription.

No need for a fixed call generator or landline, resulting in much easier setup at reduced cost.

The entire mobile solution can travel with the user, measuring according to local conditions.

Using a non-PSTN mobile call generator enables super-wideband measurements as landline calls are down-converted to narrowband speech.

Combined with the Ascom-unique capability of vocoder control, introduced in selected handsets in previous releases, the mobile-to-mobile POLQA solution NT13-27466 ver 1.0 17

TEMS Pocket 13.3 Users Manualbecomes even more versatile, enabling efficient testing of the impact of specific voice codecs on audio quality.

2.4.12. Voice MT Action: Answering ServicePart of the expanded AQM functionality in TEMS Pocket 13.0 (see section 2.4.11) is a new script action type Voice MT, used to receive mobile-terminated voice calls and play back speech sentences during these calls in order to measure audio quality (POLQA).

2.4.13. Super-Wideband POLQAFrom version 13.0 onward, TEMS Pocket calculates POLQA scores for wideband and super-wideband voice codecs, such as AMR-WB. A 48 kHz sample rate is applied for all codecs operating with a sample rate higher than 8 kHz.

2.4.14. More Powerful Custom EventsCustom events were expanded with boolean logic, which lets the user combine simple value element conditions (of the form RSSI < 90 dBm) into complex AND/OR expressions up to five levels deep. A new graphical user interface is provided for assembling and visualizing event expressions.

Any event can be used to trigger a script, as explained in section 2.4.15. Custom-made events can thus be set up to have scripts executed, for example, at specific times of day or in a particular geographical area. All RF and data throughput value elements are likewise available as building blocks in custom events.

2.4.15. Event-based Script TriggersScript execution can be triggered by the occurrence of an event, either predefined or user-defined (custom events: see section 2.4.14). For example, the event can consist of a boolean expression which evaluates to true when the TEMS Pocket device enters a geographical area defined by a lat/long bounding box. Another possibility among many is to have scripts executed at specific times of day (e.g. Time >= 2 p.m. AND Time

Chapter 2. Recently Introduced Features in TEMS PocketWith scripts configured to run when given conditions are satisfied, TEMS Pocket can operate in a more unattended manner, allowing users to automate more of their testing.

2.4.16. FilemarksFilemarks can be inserted in a logfile that is being recorded in order to tag segments of particular interest in the file, or just to note down some pertinent fact related to the recording.

2.4.17. Map LegendTEMS Pocket 13.0 displays a color legend on both indoor and outdoor maps, indicating what measurement is being plotted and the color ranges used to encode its numerical values. This greatly enhances convenience and usability.

2.4.18. Embedded Quick GuideUsers can access a Quick Guide directly from the Help menu in TEMS Pocket. This Quick Guide walks new users through fundamental tasks such as how to record logfiles and navigate in-building environments, and includes helpful tips on how to operate TEMS Pocket efficiently. In this way beginning users are able to get started quickly with minimal training.

The TEMS Pocket Quick Guide is available in the same mobile-friendly format as the embedded Users Manual.

2.4.19. Revamped Menu SystemThe TEMS Pocket menu system was reorganized in this release. The new design reflects Android design guidelines and best practices, and dovetails with the trend toward fewer or no hardware buttons on recent smartphones.

An action bar with buttons appears at the top of the screen, giving easy access to the most fundamental and frequently used functions such as script start/stop, logfile recording, and pinpointing.NT13-27466 ver 1.0 19

TEMS Pocket 13.3 Users Manual2.4.20. Automatic Adaptation of Value Elements to RAT Transitions

In both indoor and outdoor map plotting, RAT-specific value elements are automatically swapped as the TEMS Pocket 13.0 device switches to a different RAT. This adaptation takes place with four basic measurement categories: signal quality, signal strength, RSSI, and physical uplink/downlink throughput. Specifically, the presentation alternates between the following value elements:

The automatic switching spares TEMS Pocket users the hassle of manually changing value elements in map plots. Yet another time-saver, this convenient feature also helps increase the users understanding of the network technologies.

2.4.21. OtterBox Protection for Samsung Galaxy S III

All Samsung Galaxy S III TEMS Pocket 13.0 phones1 come with accessories from the market leader in phone protection. The Otterbox Defender series offers:

Robust, three-layer protection withstanding drops, bumps and shocks.

Built-in screen protector preventing scratches.

Port covers keeping out dust and debris.

TEMS Pocket 13.3 Users Manual3. Overview of TEMS Pocket

3.1. Prerequisites for Running TEMS Pocket

3.1.1. Data ConnectionAfter running the update service/firmware update, you need to ensure that the device has a valid data connection. If no data connection is established, TEMS Pocket will fail to download the license and refuse to start up. If this occurs, you will be notified by a popup message.

For TEMS Pocket to be able to automatically retrieve product licenses, your device firewall must allow traffic towards the following hosts:

ascomtems-odm.appspot.com, port 80

ascomtems-g4.appspot.com, port 80

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

3.2. TEMS Pocket 13.3 Product PackagesTEMS Pocket 13.3 is available in a variety of packages:

The Professional package encompasses the full set of product features, and it is the package covered in this Users Manual.

The Standard package does not include logfile recording, nor can it be combined with the indoor pinpointing option. In other respects, the Standard package is identical with Professional.24

Chapter 3. Overview of TEMS Pocket The Remote package converts TEMS Pocket into an autonomous probe, which is controlled by the Fleet Manager. See chapter 20.

The Premium package consists of the Professional and Remote packages combined into one.

3.3. TEMS Pocket LiteTEMS Pocket also exists in a variety called TEMS Pocket Lite, currently offered within the Professional product package. TEMS Pocket Lite differs from the regular TEMS Pocket in that it collects less detailed measurements: specifically, basic RF and data measurements available from the smartphone operating system (Android). On the other hand, TEMS Pocket Lite can be installed on any Ascom-approved and tested Android device.

TEMS Pocket Lite is covered in a separate Users Manual; please refer to this document for further information on TEMS Pocket Lite.

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

How to set up and operate a multi-device configuration is covered in chapter 21.

3.5. License Options in TEMS PocketA number of functions in TEMS Pocket require special license options to be enabled in the application:

The Indoor Map view and the pinpointing function.

Testing using a secure connection through SSL. The SSL license option is under embargo restrictions and can only be sold to certain countries.

Scanning of mobile networks using an external DRT scanner.

Multi-device configuration with controller and agents.

For audio quality measurement (AQM), the following applies:

In the one-way mobile-to-mobile AQM setup (section 12.2.3), the calling TEMS Pocket device must have a POLQA license, but no license is required for the receiving device. However, if you want the NT13-27466 ver 1.0 25

TEMS Pocket 13.3 Users Manualdevices to be able to switch roles, so that either device can originate the calls, then both devices must have a POLQA license.

In the two-way mobile-to-mobile AQM setup (section 12.2.4), both devices must have a POLQA license.

In the mobile-to-fixed AQM setup (section 12.2.5), the TEMS Pocket device must have a POLQA license, and the CallGenerator must have a POLQA and CS voice license.

3.6. Launching the TEMS Pocket Application Launch TEMS Pocket by tapping the TEMS Pocket icon in the

devices application launcher.

This screen appears while TEMS Pocket is starting up.26

TEMS Pocket 13.3 Users Manual3.7. TEMS Pocket User Interface

3.7.1. Top-level TEMS Pocket Screen

3.7.2. Action Bar

At the top of the screen, immediately below the Android status bar, is an action bar with a number of buttons.1 The set of buttons that appears is in part context-dependent.

From here you can perform all of the actions and configuration tasks referred to in section 3.7 and also inspect some categories of data.

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

Once TEMS Pocket has initialized, it will display a screen that holds the top-level data view categories.

Everything about the data views is covered in chapter 4.

1. The action bar replaces the menu accessed from the Menu button in pre-13.0 versions of TEMS Pocket.28

Chapter 3. Overview of TEMS PocketSee also section 4.5.6.

The indicators and symbols at the very top of the screen are the same as in the commercial device, except that the TEMS Pocket status icons will also sometimes appear there (as described in section 4.5.6).

3.7.4. Indoor Map: Positioning by Pinpointing

Indoor Map view

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

3.7.6. ScriptsTEMS Pocket offers the use of scripts for automated testing of various services. See chapter 8.

3.7.7. EventsWhen you run a script in TEMS Pocket, events are generated pertaining to radio (Layer 3 signaling), device operation, script progress, and more. See chapter 5.

3.7.8. LogfilesYou can record data collected by TEMS Pocket in logfiles and replay these files in TEMS Pocket itself or in TEMS Investigation or TEMS Discovery. See chapter 9.

3.7.9. GPS PositioningTEMS Pocket supports positioning of data in logfiles using either the devices built-in GPS or an external GPS.

Outdoor Map view

When testing in locations with GPS coverage, the Outdoor Map view (see chapter 7) can be used to display measurements, events and cell sites. This view allows you to easily locate network trouble spots and visualize network performance geographically.30

Chapter 3. Overview of TEMS Pocket3.7.10. Cell FilesYou can import a cell file into TEMS Pocket in order to display cells by name (rather than by CGI) in data views as well as in the Outdoor Map view. See chapter 10.

3.7.11. Control FunctionsTEMS Pocket as implemented on some of the supported devices has a number of control functions modifying the devices behavior in the cellular network. These include locking the device to a RAT, band, cell, or channel. See chapter 11 for full details.

3.7.12. Tablet User InterfaceTEMS Pocket as implemented on the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 LTE (GT-N8020) tablet has the same functionality as the mobile phone based TEMS Pocket applications. However, to make good use of the larger screen, the tablet user interface is organized differently in some respects. Please turn to chapter 18 for details.

3.8. TEMS Pocket File Storage Locations

3.8.1. LogfilesTEMS Pocket logfiles can be stored either on the internal memory card of the device (/sdcard) or on an external memory card, if the device has one inserted. The choice is made in the Settings menu; see section 16.1.4.

Internal storage locations are as follows.

TEMS Pocket Professional, regular Local work mode: /sdcard/pocket/logfiles/ (*.pcap files with IP capture data are also stored here)

Remote: /sdcard/pocket/logfiles/remote

Agent: /sdcard/pocket/logfiles/

The path to an external memory card is vendor-dependent; here are some examples:

Samsung Galaxy S III GT-I9305, S4 GT-I9505: /mnt/extSdCard

Sony Xperia T LT30a: /ext_card NT13-27466 ver 1.0 31

TEMS Pocket 13.3 Users Manual3.8.2. Other FilesOther TEMS Pocket related files are always stored on the internal memory card, in the following locations:

Cell files: /sdcard/pocket/private/cellfiles/

Custom views: /sdcard/pocket/views/ (files named view_.custom, where = 01, 02, ...)

Email attachments: /sdcard/pocket/private/attachments/

Exported settings: /sdcard/pocket/exportsettings/

Indoor map sets: /sdcard/pocket/private/mapsets/ (*.ibwc files)

In Agent work mode, map sets are stored in /sdcard/pocket/private/mapsets/agents

Routes: /sdcard/pocket/private/waypoints/

Screenshots: /sdcard/pocket/screenshots/ (when saved separately and not in a logfile)

Scripts: /sdcard/pocket/private/scripts/

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

3.9. Language SupportThe TEMS Pocket 13.3 devices support languages as follows:

Regular device user interface: Same as in the commercial device release.

TEMS Pocket user interface

Text display: English

User input: English

Note: There is no support for inputting non-ASCII characters. When entering text strings, only use characters from the ASCII set.32

Chapter 3. Overview of TEMS Pocket3.10. General Advice on Using TEMS PocketSee also Ascoms statement on mobile test probes in appendix A.

3.10.1. Configuring Device Settings For the devices internal GPS to be available to TEMS Pocket, it must be

enabled in the device. The name of the option that must be checked and its position in the menu system may vary between Android versions; for example, it may read Settings Location services GPS satellites. This setting does not have any bearing on an external GPS.

Also make sure that data traffic is enabled: Under Settings Wireless & networks Mobile networks, the Data enabled checkbox must be checked. (This is the default setting.)

You may need to enable data roaming. This is done under Settings Wireless & networks Mobile networks, by checking the Data roaming checkbox.

When you connect a TEMS Pocket device running Android 4.2.2 or later to the PC, a dialog titled Allow USB debugging? will pop up on the device screen. Check the box Always allow from this computer, and tap OK.

3.10.2. Battery Charging ConsiderationsRunning several tasks in parallel on a TEMS Pocket device places a heavy load on the device battery. It may in fact happen that the battery charger cannot keep up with the power consumption, so that the battery eventually will be drained even if the charger is connected all the time. This situation may arise for example if the device is more or less constantly running one service or another while at the same time having its display fully lit.NT13-27466 ver 1.0 33

TEMS Pocket 13.3 Users ManualWhen engaging the device in highly power-consuming tasks, you should always use the regular charger supplied with the device. Charging the device via the USB cable will often be vastly insufficient when running TEMS Pocket.

3.10.3. TEMS Pocket vs. TEMS InvestigationWhen a device possesses a license for both TEMS Pocket and TEMS Investigation, the two applications cannot coexist on the device. This means that:

If the TEMS Pocket device is connected to a PC and you start TEMS Investigation on that PC, the TEMS Pocket application will shut down.

If you connect your TEMS Pocket device to a PC where TEMS Investigation is running, you cannot start the TEMS Pocket application.

3.10.4. License HandlingThis section applies to the Sony Xperia phones only. For these devices, a TEMS Pocket license file resides on the internal memory card. The file is named TEMS_v1.lic and stored in the root.

For other devices, the internal memory card is unrelated to license handling.

3.11. Exiting TEMS PocketYou exit the TEMS Pocket application by tapping the Overflow button and then tapping Exit. See section 3.7.2.34

Chapter 4. Data Views4. Data Views

4.1. General Data View PropertiesThe presentation in data views combines textual and graphical elements.

Many data views in TEMS Pocket are RAT-specific; there exist, for example, separate cell list data views for each supported RAT. Which views can appear is of course dependent on the range of technologies supported by the device; which view is shown at a given instant is governed by the RAT the device is currently using. The switching between views is automatic.

Whenever a parameter is currently not valid, this is indicated in the data view by a dash .

In all graphs containing a legend, you can tap anywhere in the graph to hide the legend. Tap once more to make the legend visible again. When you swipe to a graph view, the legend is always visible, even if you have previously hidden it.

4.2. The Screenshot Capture FunctionYou can take screenshots of the data views using the built-in screen capture function. Whenever you use this function, snapshots are taken of all data views as well as the currently shown data view header.

Screenshots are transparent, that is, they do not include the on-screen spider web background. This is in order to minimize the size of the image files.

Screenshot image files are named according to the pattern yyyy-mm-dd_hh.mm.ss__screenshot.png, for example 2013-03-19_14.28.57_Data1_screenshot.png.

If you take screenshots while a logfile is being recorded, you can opt to save the screenshots in the logfile (*.trp) along with its other contents. You are

Tap the Screenshot button on the action bar twice in rapid succession. After the first tap, the button turns blue; after the second tap, the device vibrates briefly, and the screenshots are taken.NT13-27466 ver 1.0 35

TEMS Pocket 13.3 Users Manualasked on each occasion whether to do that or save the images in the screenshot folder (see section 3.8).

4.3. Other Data View ActionsIn some data views you can perform an action relating to a piece of data shown in the view. For ex
