TEMS Investigation Training

Module 1 Script

Description:

A training module script is used as a teacher guide. The trainer should spend very little
time with the slide packs and demonstrate and guide the students through the tool.

The slide pack for each module may feel very chunky, sometimes without a flow but its
only used as a reference (refresh) and not to drive the course. The trainer will drive the
course via the tool and refer to the slides when needed.

Module 1: Introduction
Time: ~30 minutes
Number of Slides: 10

Slide 1: Introduction [5 min]

Welcome everyone to the course and introduce yourself to the audience.

Ask the participants to introduce themselves and to let you know their level of
experience with the tool (New user, Somewhat experienced user, Experienced user,
etc). This helps to determine if more focus on specific topics is needed.
Pass the Sign-In Sheet.
Talk a little bit about Ascom, and specifically about the Network Testing division and
the TEMS Product Portfolio.
Review the course outline.

Slide 2: Course Outline [2 min]

Explain the course outline to the audience and clarify any doubts

Slide 4: Module Objectives [2 min]

Read the objectives to the audience and clarify any doubts

Slide 5: What is TEMS Investigation [8 min]

Describe the functionalities of TEMS Investigation.

Data collection and real-time troubleshooting.

Drive testing and indoor data collection.
 Data collection as well as service testing.
Multi-technology capabilities.
Support for a variety of terminals and scanners.

On-screen post-processing.
Multiple means of presentation and total flexibility.
Single logfile replay in TEMS Investigation as well as post-processing of
multiple logfiles in TEMS Discovery

Reporting.
HTML-based report generator.
Measurement access (logfile export).
KPI reports are now produced using TEMS Discovery (or TEMS Automatic).
All data required for KPIs are always recorded in logfiles.

Slide 6: Connectable Equipment [5 min]

Describe the different connectable equipment in TEMS Investigation and explain on a

high level the use of each of them.

Phones, Data Cards and USB Modems

TEMS Investigation supports a wide variety of user terminals, including
ones from Apple, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, LG, Nokia, Motorola,
Qualcomm, HTC, Novatel, Sierra Wireless, Option, Huawei and Datang.
They allow comprehensive monitoring of cellular networks of different
technologies either independently or simultaneously.
These devices are used for service testing mirroring the user experience of
the network.

Scanners
Scanning can be performed for different technologies using Sony Ericsson
phones (WCDMA, GSM), PCTel scanners (LTE, WCDMA, GSM, CDMA,
TD-SCDMA), DRT Scanners (LTE, WiMAX), Anritsu (GSM. WCDMA),
Andrew (LTE. CDMA), Rhode&Schwarz (GSM,WCDMA,LTE), Transcom
(TD-LTE) and Ascom Scanning Receiver Units (WCDMA, GSM).
These devices are used to measure the air interface independently of the
Radio Access Network settings.
Different scanning devices support different scanning features.

Positioning
GPS units, either standalone or built into scanners, can be used for
geographical positioning.
A Dead Reckoning Unit can be utilized when GPS signals are not available
during outdoor measurements
Manual positioning (pinpointing) is likewise supported, with indoor
measurements in mind. Support of IBWave file format

Slide 7: New Licensing Solution [5 min]

Describe the GLS license solution and its advantages.

Licensing for TEMS Investigation is based on the HASP technology. Both

hardware-based (HASP HL) and software-based (HASP SL) licensing can be used.

Licenses associated with TEMS Investigation can be either local or network

licenses:
A local license is embodied
In a hardware key which is inserted into the PC, (HASP HL)
In a software key that is installed on it (HASP SL)
A network license is obtained on the client machine
By connecting to a license server and checking out a software key
from that server (HASP SL)

Local vs Network Licenses

If HASP HL is used, a local license is required for connecting external
devices in TEMS Investigation. For all other functions, TEMS Investigation
can use either a local license or a network license.
If HASP SL is used, either a local license or a network license can be used
for all TEMS Investigation functions.

License Requirements
A license is always required to run TEMS Investigation. Without a license
you cannot launch the application.
For a device to be connectable (possible to activate) in TEMS Investigation,
it must be covered by your license options.
Separate license for only replaying logfiles called Replay License is
available as an option
It is possible in TEMS Investigation to load and replay logfiles recorded with
devices for which you have no license.

Slide 8: Old Licensing Solution [1 min]

Describe the HASP license solution and its disadvantages vs GLS

Hardware key
Less flexible
More time-consuming
Harder to upgrade

Slide 9: Summary [5 min]

Read the summary to the audience and clarify any doubts.

TEMS Investigation is primarily a tool for data collection and real-time analysis.
Interfaces with phones, data cards, USB modems, scanners, GPS devices.
Collects data and records it in logfiles.
 Supports different cellular technologies (LTE(-A), WCDMA, GSM, CDMA, etc).
Different types of tests that can be performed mirroring the user experience of the
network (Voice, Video Telephony, Data Services, Audio Quality Measurements).
New licensing is based on the GLS system. Licenses associated with TEMS
Investigation can be either permanent or time based licenses.

Slide 10: Questions [5 min]

Ask the questions to different participants; help them with the answers if needed and
clarify any doubts.
