AutoPlay
Automatic launching of a PC application following device connect must be avoided. Therefore, make
sure that for all connected devices used with TEMS Investigation, AutoPlay is disabled.
Security Products
Please note that hard disk encryption software, firewalls, virus scanners, and other security products
may prevent multiple RAS sessions from being maintained concurrently, thus interfering with data
service testing. Contact your IS/IT department for assistance in these matters.
The realtime scanning feature of antivirus software is prone to generate considerable CPU load. If you
find the overall CPU load excessive, it may be a good idea to try turning off the realtime scanning
feature.

[ SOFTWARE INSTALLATION AND RECOMMENDED SETTINGS ]
For running multiple concurrent data service sessions or logging IP data, as well as for the
automatic software update function, this is strictly necessary.
PC Hardware Requirements
TEMS Investigation 15.3 is designed to run on a standard PC and interfaces with the connected
devices mainly through USB or serial ports.
Processor and RAM requirements are strongly dependent on 1) what external devices are connected
and 2) what tasks they perform.
The recommended minimum configuration is: Pentium T7200 or AMD TL-58 class CPU, preferably
with dedicated graphics card from ATI or nVidia; 1 GB RAM.
Please note that it is not advisable to collect data with more than one device, or to collect data in an
LTE or HSPA network, using this configuration.
HSPA and LTE data service testing at high throughput rates (above 50 Mbit/s) with a Qualcomm
chipset based device requires a very powerful PC processor, for example a second-generation Intel
Core i5 or comparable Intel Core i7.
For testing with a large array of connected devices (for example, 68 devices plus GPS), an Intel Core
i7-nnnQM/XM, Intel Core i7-2nnnQM/XM, or equivalent processor is necessary.
Other hardware requirements:
One USB port for each user terminal
USB port for HASP HL SRM hardware key ( For hardware dongle license)
PC Software Requirements
Below is for the third-party software that is required for various tools and actions in TEMS
Investigation. When installing third-party software, administrator rights are required, and possibly
(depending on UAC settings) the installation must be run using the Run as administrator option.
.NET Framework version 4.5 must be installed on the PC. It is included in the TEMS Investigation
installation package and will be installed automatically if not already present.
Microsoft Network Monitor (NetMon) is used by TEMS Investigation as IP sniffer and must be
present. It is installed along with TEMS Investigation. (NetMon version 3.4)
Internet Explorer 8 or later required for Report Generator and online help.
Internet Explorer 9 or later required for HTTP download/upload testing with Internet Explorer. It is
also required for streaming over HTTP.
Adobe Flash Player required for streaming over HTTP.
Microsoft DirectX 9.0c or later required for RTP streaming.
The installation is done by running the file TEMSInvestigation15.3.exe. For the first time, there
will be 2 options will appear, 1) FlexNet or 2) HASP license will be used as licensing solution. If
you have a HASP dongle, select HASP SRM License.
Also please note that the PC must have a working Internet connection when executing the
EXE file, since various software components will be retrieved over the Internet. This includes
Microsoft .NET 4.5 in case the PC does not already have it installed. If Microsoft .NET 4.5
needs to be installed, the entire installation procedure may take up to 1020 minutes to
complete. [Kindly use the full dotnetfx4.5 SW] File : dotnetfx45_full_x86_x64.exe
On some PCs, a reboot may take place after the .NET Framework installation.
** Please ensure your laptop is 32 bit or 64 bit. If the laptop does not work, reinstall the Microsoft
C++ vcredist_x64.exe or vcredist_x84.exe software

Summary
External devices are automatically detected and listed in the top pane of the
Navigators Equipment tab.
To Activate/Deactivate a detected device, right-click it on the Navigators Equipment
tab and choose Activate/Deactivate from the context menu.
You can Activate/Deactivate all devices by clicking the Activate All/Deactivate All
buttons on the Equipment tab toolbar.
You can manually run services on a device and apply control functions to it from the
Activities subtab.
You can view and modify certain properties of devices from TEMS Investigation.
Device properties vary by phone model.
The Manual UE Configuration utility helps TEMS Investigation recognize a device
that is not detected properly.
Objectives
Snippets.
A snippet is fixed sequence of
activities defined as a building block.
Can be reused, saving time and
effort creating new scripts.
Predefined snippets for all supported
services are provided.
Predefined snippets are tailored to
produce all data required for KPI
computation.
An arbitrary activity sequence can
also be saved as a user-defined
snippet.

Sequence Activity.
Defines a sequence of activities as a
unit, allowing it to be treated as
such.
This activity has no unique
properties.
If-Else Activity.
Used to split the execution flow into
several branches based on outcome
of previous activity.
Evaluation of conditions proceeds
from left to right.
Each branch is constituted by an if-
else branch activity.
While Activity.
Used to repeat a sequence of
activities a predetermined number of
times.
While loops can be nested arbitrarily.
Wait Activity.
The function depends on its position
in the workflow.
Following a Dial or Video Dial
activity, gives duration to the call.
Appearing elsewhere, it temporarily
suspends the execution of the
workflow branch where it is located.
The Duration property governs how
long to wait.
Parallel Activity.
Causes the workflow to split
unconditionally into two or more
branches (no hard limit).
Each branch must involve different
devices.
Each parallel branch is
encapsulated within a Sequence
activity.
This activity has no unique
properties.
UE Control functionality.
Control functions accessible from
the Equipment Tab of the Navigator
can be applied in a script as
activities.
RAT lock and Band lock activities
are more generic than the manual
control functions.
UE control activity in a script can
only be executed if the target device
is capable of the operation in
question.
Validating Scripts.
To ensure a script is syntactically
correct.
To make sure it does not assign
tasks that you devices dont
support .
A non-trivial issue when building
complex scripts.
Also crucial for UE control
functionality.
Scripts are automatically validated
when started.
Can be validated in advance.

To save a script to file, click the Save button on the Service Control
Designer toolbar.
Extension of the file is .tsc (for TEMS Service Control).
The Save Script dialog contains the following options:
Description. Free-text field.
Format. Standard or Redistributable.
You can save the script as a snippet.
You can save the script as an image.
To open an existing script stored on file, click the Open button on the
Service Control Designer toolbar.
Summary (1/2)
The Service Control Designer window is used to compose service control workflows (scripts).
The Activity pane is a palette holding all script building blocks: for running services, for
controlling devices, and for executing flow control.
The Workflow pane is the area where you assemble your script graphically in the form of a
flowchart.
The Properties pane contains properties of the activity that you are currently working .
In the Configuration Sets pane you define various entities that can be reused in any script, for
example all the details for accessing a particular FTP server.
An exclamation mark in the activity box means that the activity is not yet properly configured.
To give a duration to a call, we need to use the Wait activity.
A Network Connection is a necessary preparation for running data services.
Explicit PS attach and PS detach operations are used to measure the time taken by these
operations, particularly for the purpose of computing KPIs.
A snippet is a fixed sequence of activities that is defined as a building block and can be reused
as such, saving time and effort when creating new scripts.
The predefined snippets are tailored to produce all data required to compute KPIs. The KPI
computation itself is done using TEMS Discovery.
Summary (2/2)
The Sequence activity formally defines a sequence of activities as a unit, allowing it to be
treated as such.
An If-Else activity is used to split the execution flow into several branches based on the
outcome of a previous activity.
While loops are used to repeat a sequence of activities a predetermined number of times.
The function of the Wait activity depends on its position in the workflow. Following a Dial or
Video Dial activity, gives duration to the call. Appearing elsewhere, temporarily suspends the
execution of the workflow branch where it is located.
The Parallel activity causes the workflow to split unconditionally into two or more braches, each
of which must involve different devices. There is no hard limit on the number of branches.
A number of control functions accessible from the Navigator (Equipment tab, bottom part,
Activities tab) can also be applied in a script in the form of activities.
Before a script is run, it needs to be validated to ensure that it is syntactically correct and does
not assign tasks that your devices do not support.
You can run a script either from the Service Control Designer or from the Service Control
Monitor.
To run only certain parts of a script and exclude others, you can disable any individual activity
Extension of the script file is .tsc (for TEMS Service Control).
