11. 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. What’s 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

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 E-TFCI,
2
average Serving Grant Index, average transport block size, and the UE
happy rate.
1.2. What Was New in TEMS Pocket 7.0
1.2.1. Phones: Sony Ericsson C905, C905a
TEMS Pocket 7.0 is implemented on the Sony Ericsson C905 and C905a
phones. Their features include:
• GSM/GPRS quad-band
• HSDPA/WCDMA 2100 MHz (C905); 850/1900/2100 MHz (C905a)
• HSDPA 7.2 Mbit/s on downlink
• 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:
13. 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 phone’s position in
LZT 138 0240 R1A 3
14. TEMS Pocket 7.2 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s 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 user’s view of the network. It can also
be used to produce receipts handed in by staff to confirm completion of field
measurement tasks. This too contributes to efficiency and reduces traveling
expenses.
1.2.7. 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.

2. 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 phone’s current serving cell supports
WCDMA R99 (but not HSDPA).
An “H” symbol indicating that the current serving cell supports HSDPA.
LZT 138 0240 R1A 5
16. TEMS Pocket 7.2 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s 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
6
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.
17. 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 phone’s main menu: Settings →
General → Pocket menu.
Note: TEMS Pocket settings are always saved in the phone’s internal
memory. If the phone memory is full, TEMS Pocket settings can
no longer be saved. You then need to remove some files to free
up memory.
LZT 138 0240 R1A 7
18. TEMS Pocket 7.2 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s Manual
2.4. Events
Events are generated and logged by TEMS Pocket to indicate that something
interesting and worthy of note has occurred in the phone’s interaction with the
cellular network.
The event log is inspected and managed from the Pocket menu. See section
8.3.1. A shortcut to the event log is found in the Activity menu.
2.5. Logfiles
2.5.1. Logfile Recording
You can record data collected by TEMS Pocket in logfiles and replay these
files in TEMS Pocket itself or in TEMS Investigation or TEMS Presentation.
See sections 7.3, 7.4, and 8.7.
2.5.2. GPS Positioning
TEMS Pocket supports positioning of data using GPS. You can use either the
phone’s internal GPS or an external GPS unit that has been Bluetooth paired
with the phone. See 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
phone’s behavior in the cellular network. These include locking the phone to a
RAT, band, cell, or channel. See section 8.2 for full details.

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

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

While the WAP browser (activated from the phone’s main menu → Internet)
is running, TEMS Pocket can show selected air interface information in the
bottom part of the screen. Two WAP browser data views are provided, one for
WCDMA and one for GPRS. You toggle between the views by briefly
pressing the up and down arrow buttons on the left side of the phone. (These
buttons also control the media player volume if the media player is running.)
The WAP browser data views are by default visible.
• During a WAP session, you can hide the data views by pressing Options
50
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.

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

6. The Map View
The Map view enables recording of positions for measurements in indoor
locations and other places where GPS coverage is not available. The
positioning is done by pinpointing the test route in the Map view.
Note that in order to use the pinpointing function, you must have a memory
card with sufficient free space installed on the phone. This is because all
logfile-related data is copied to the memory card in connection with creating
the zip archive. (Other methods of recording a logfile do not require a memory
card.)
6.1. Loading a Map Image into the Map View
• First you need to obtain an image of the environment that is going to be
68
covered during measurement. For example, use the phone’s camera to
photograph the emergency or evacuation plan for the relevant floor. The
best image quality is obtained if the camera is set in black-and-white
mode. Also avoid using the flash. If you are using an image from a
different source, it must be in JPEG format.
• Load your image as a background image in the Map view: While in this
view, press Options and select Data view actions → Load map. Locate
the file you want to load, and press Select.
79. Chapter 6. The Map View
The image now appears in the Map view:
6.2. Pinpointing Your Test Route
6.2.1. Setting the Map Zoom
You can start pinpointing as soon as the map is loaded. However, before
getting started on your test route, it is a good idea to adjust the zoom level of
the Map view so that the pinpointing actions can be performed conveniently.
• In the Map view, press Options and select Data view actions → Map
properties → Zoom. Set the zoom level as appropriate.
6.2.2. Customizing the Appearance of Route Markers
The waypoints that you mark on the map will always be colored blue.
The markers tracing your route between waypoints will by default be color-coded
according to RxLev (in GSM) or UTRA Carrier RSSI (in WCDMA). The
LZT 138 0240 R1A 69
80. TEMS Pocket 7.2 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s Manual
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.
6.2.4. Pinpointing and Recording
• To initiate a measurement, press Options and select Data view actions →
70
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.
81. 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.
LZT 138 0240 R1A 71
82. TEMS Pocket 7.2 for Sony Ericsson W995 and W995a – User’s Manual
The logfile closes, and the pinpointing icon disappears.
A zip archive is now created holding:
• the logfile (*.log)
• the image loaded into the Map view (*.jpg)
• a file where the pinpointed route is recorded (*.ppf)
• the map properties covered in section 6.2.3 (*.xml)
• an index file detailing the archive contents (.xml).
Please note that such zip archives cannot be replayed as-is in TEMS Pocket.
(They resemble ordinary logfiles in the phone file system, since the phone
does not show file extensions.)
6.3. Positioning the Map Geographically
The description of the test route furnished by pinpointing can be utilized when
viewing TEMS Pocket logfiles in other TEMS tools such as TEMS
Investigation and TEMS Presentation.
Before post-processing the data, however, it needs to be anchored to a
geographical position. This is accomplished by processing the zip archive
with a software utility called TEMS Pocket Positioning Tool, which is installed
along with TEMS Investigation as well as TEMS Presentation. It is launched
from the Start menu by selecting Programs → Ascom → TEMS Products →
Utilities → TEMS Pocket Positioning Tool. For further details on this topic,
consult the TEMS Pocket Positioning Tool User’s Manual.
The intended way of working is to position the map using the coordinates
provided in the map properties in TEMS Pocket: see section 6.2.3.
After being positioned, the logfiles are ready to be loaded into TEMS
Investigation or TEMS Presentation.

7.2. Insert Filemark
This command inserts filemarks (text strings) in a logfile while it is being
recorded. You can use filemarks to tag segments of special interest in the
logfile. For example, you might want to note down the location where
something 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.

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
74
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 OtherPocketPro. 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:
76
Replay in progress at normal speed (following Play command)
Replay paused (following Pause or Step command)
Replay stopped. This means that the logfile has been replayed to the
end.
7.5. Event Log
This is a shortcut to the event log; see section 8.3.1.
7.6. Start/Stop FTP
This command is used to conduct FTP sessions, including uploading of
TEMS Pocket logfiles if you prefer to do these uploads manually. The
