2 About TEMS Visualization 9.2


Professional
TEMS Visualization Professional is a tool for performance optimization and problem
troubleshooting of wireless cellular networks. It retrieves and analyzes event data
collected by the networks for two main purposes:

Automatic diagnosis of network issues that have a negative impact on


network performance or user experience

Creation and geographic presentation of information to support


optimization decisions (for example, to assist in defining neighbor relations
and optimizing cell coverage areas)

TEMS Visualization Professional processes event data / call trace records generated
from the network nodes. An FTP client is included so that the log files can be
downloaded to the desktop machine. Data processing can then be performed when
needed by the user or scheduled to be run on a daily basis. Cell configuration data can
also be processed so that site locations and antenna directions can be shown on the
map and cell parameters can be analyzed together with the event data.

9
2.1 Bridging the Optimization Gap
Performance management tools show cells that are having problems statistically, but
the exact causes of the problems, or the locations of the problems within the cell, are
usually not provided. Drive test tools, on the other hand, are specifically designed to
reveal the causes and locations of problems, but can only capture this critical data if
the problems are more or less constant, and can only capture the data when a drive
test happens to be made.

TEMS Visualization bridges this gap by offering both the breadth of traditional
performance management solutions and the depth of drive test tools. TEMS
Visualization processes event-based OSS data all the way down to the individual call
level. This ability to look at real individual call data from the infrastructure side
complements both the big picture provided by performance management systems
and the thin slicing of traditional drive testing. TEMS Visualization analyzes data sets
with amounts of data large enough for statistical accuracy while offering detailed drill-
down to facilitate precise problem localization.

7 TEMS Visualization Licensing


Licensing for TEMS Visualization is based on the HASP technology.

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

Hardware-based means that the licenses are programmed on a HW license


key that is plugged into a USB port on the host machine.

Software-based means that the licenses are programmed on a software


token stored on the host machine itself.

Depending on the type of package purchased, licensing is set up in different ways. The
following terminology is used in this manual:

Local Licensing. This is a single license on the users own machine


HASP HL.

Stationary Licensing. This is a single license on the users own machine


HASP SL.

Floating Licensing. This is a pool of licenses in a network HASP HL.

License Server. This is a pool of licenses in a network HASP SL.

7.1 Local Licensing (HASP HL)


This section applies if you purchased a local license for TEMS Visualization.

With local licensing, each users machine on which TEMS Visualization is installed has
its own HW license key. The HASP SRM Time HW key (black in color) is used for local
licensing. A USB port must be available for the HW license key.

7.1.1 Installation
The required HASP drivers are automatically installed as part of the TEMS Visualization
Professional installation.

You can verify whether the drivers are installed correctly by opening the HASP Admin
Control Center. It can be opened in either of two ways:

1. From the Start button: Start | All Programs | Ascom | TEMS Products | TEMS
Visualization 9.2 Professional | HASP SRM Utilities | HASP Admin Control
Center.

2. From a web browser: http://localhost:1947

37
If problems occur when accessing the license, install the HASP driver as follows:

1. On the TEMS Visualization Professional installation media, go to the HASP


folder.

2. Double-click the HASPUserSetup.exe file.

7.1.2 License Updates


The license for TEMS Visualization should already have been programmed onto the
HW license key. To perform future license updates, do the following:

1. Collect the .c2v file:

a. From the Start button, go to All Programs | Ascom | TEMS Products |


TEMS Visualization 9.2 Professional | HASP SRM Utilities | HASP SRM
Utilities | HASP License Update.

b. Click the Collect Information button.

c. Provide a name for the file and save the information to a location on
the C: drive. If multiple HASP keys are found on the machine, then

dialog allows you to specify the type of cell configuration file(s) to be used and their
location.

For Ericsson GSM these are normally CNAI files (.txt).

For Ericsson WCDMA and LTE these are normally BulkCM files (.xml, .xml.gz).

For Huawei WCDMA these are normally CFGMML files (.txt).

Text cell files (.cel) can be used for the Cell Configuration on their own (without a
reference file); however, there are some limitations:

1. It must be possible to link the cell configuration data to the event data,
therefore the text cell file must contain:

- For WCDMA, the RNC-ID+C-ID

- For LTE, the eNBid+cellId

- For GSM R-PMO, the cell

- For GSM MTR, the MCC+MNC+LAC+CI

2. Some features in TEMS Visualization may not be fully functional due to


missing cell parameters (for example, the Selection Priority for the WCMDA
Neighbor Optimization feature is only available from BulkCM and not from a
text cell file).

NOTE: For the IRAT (GSM) neighbor optimization for Ericsson GPEH feature to be
fully functional, the GSM cells in the area must be included in a GSM cell
configuration. The GSM Cell configuration must contain: 1) The CGI
(MCC+MNC+LAC+CI) for the GSM cells since this is the link to the External
GSM Cell relations as defined in the WCDMA cell configuration files. 2) The
site coordinates (latitude and longitude), antenna direction, and antenna
beamwidth to allow presentation of the GSM cells on the map.

Local Path or FTP.

- Local. Click if the cell configuration file resides on a folder local to this
machine.

- FTP. Click if the cell configuration file is to be retrieved from another


machine via an FTP connection. The dropdown menu lists the existing
connections. Select the connection that contains the cell configuration
file. This field is only available if the FTP radio button is checked.

If the needed FTP connection is not listed, click the button to


launch the FTP Connection Manager, where a new connection can be
created. For more information, see the description of the FTP
Connection Manager.

Exact File(s) or Latest File From Folder

- Exact File(s). Select this option if you know the exact file(s) to be used.

- Latest File From Folder. Select this option to identify a folder and
define a text filter. The newest file whose file name contains the
specified text will be used.

Reference Cell Files. This section specifies the reference cell files to be used. The
reference cell file allows missing fields not typically found in the OSS exports to be
added to the cell configuration data.

NOTE: Only cells included in the cell configuration file will be stored in the cell
configuration database; cells which are only included in the reference cell
file will not be stored.

The standard TEMS cell file in tab separated text format (.cel) is normally used.

Local Path or FTP. As with the configuration files, specify whether the files
are to be retrieved from a local or an FTP location, and navigate to the file if
not local.

Exact File or Latest File From Folder. As with the configuration files,
specify any necessary file filter.

Reference Cell File Name. Enter the name of the reference cell file to be
used or use the Browse button to select the desired file.

Use Column Mapping File. A column mapping file allows any text file with
column headings to be used as a reference cell file. Use the Browse button
to select the desired column mapping file, or create a new one.

Match between Cell Configuration & Reference Cell File. These options determine
how the cell configuration and reference cell file data should be matched.

For Ericsson GSM, when a CNAI export file is used for the cell configuration together
with a reference file, select from among the following:

Cell Name. The CELL field from the CNAI export is matched on the CELL
parameter from the CNAI export file.

MCC+MNC+LAC+CI. These fields from the CNAI export are matched with
the MCC+MNC+LAC+CI or C-ID fields from the reference cell file.

For Ericsson WCDMA, when a BulkCM file is used for the cell configuration together
with a reference file, select from among the following:

Cell Name. The UtranCell id or the userLabel from the BulkCM file are
matched with the Cell field from the reference cell file. The Cell Name
Source radio button defines which one of the two fields from the UtranCell
node within the BulkCM file will be used as the source for the cell name. The

67
userLabel often has a more verbose, operator defined cell name, but the
UtranCell id is guaranteed to be unique.

RNC-ID+C-ID. The rncId from the RncFunction node and cId from the
UtranCell node in the BulkCM file are matched with the RNC-ID+C-ID from
the reference cell file.

MCC+MNC+LAC+CI. The MCC and MNC from the RncFunction node, LAC
from the UtranCell node, and cId from the UtranCell node are matched with
the MCC+MNC+LAC+CI or C-ID fields from the reference cell file.

For Ericsson LTE, when a BulkCM file is used for the cell configuration together with a
reference file, select from among the following:

Cell Name. The CELL field from the reference file is matched with the
userLabel from the BulkCM vsDataEUtranCellFDD node.

eNBId&cellId. The eNBId from the vsDataENodeBFunction node and the


cellId from the vsDataEUtranCellFDD node in the BulkCM are matched with
the eNBId+cellId from the reference file.

For Huawei WCDMA, when a CFGMML file is used for the cell configuration together
with a reference file, select from among the following:

Cell Name. The CELLNAME from the CFGMML file(s) is matched with the
Cell field from the reference cell file.

RNC-ID+C-ID. The RNCID+CELLID from the CFGMML file(s) are matched


with the RNC-ID+C-ID from the reference cell file.

MCC+MNC+LAC+CI. The MCC+MNC+LAC+CELLID from the CFGMML


file(s) are matched with the MCC+MNC+LAC+CI or C-ID fields from the
reference cell file.

Data Replacement

Use Site Position Data From. The radio buttons specify whether to use the
site position data from the reference cell file or the cell configuration file.

Use Cell Names From. The radio buttons specify whether to use the cell
names from the reference cell file or the cell configuration file.

Use Antenna Data From. The radio buttons specify whether to use the
antenna data from the reference cell file or the cell configuration file.

If No Data In Reference File. If no data is found in the reference file, the


radio buttons specify whether to use the data from the cell configuration file
or to assign blank values. Assign blank values if site coordinates and
antenna orientations from the OSS are not reliable and should not be used.

68
TEMS Visualization 9.2 Professional

Verify Button

The Verify button matches the cell configuration file with the reference cell file and
shows the result of the match. The verification applies only to local files. If the cell
configuration file resides on an FTP server, verification will not take place.

Care should be taken when there are cells from the Cell Configuration which have No
Lat/Lon or No Antenna Beamwidth. Typically this is because there was no match on
these cells in the Reference Cell file.

as a template. To do this, select one of the listed projects and click Copy. The Data
Generation wizard will be launched, with fields already populated based on the
selected project.

Edit. Click Edit to edit project settings for the selected project. Not all settings can be
edited.

View. Click View to view the settings for the selected project.

Delete. Click Delete to delete the selected project from the list box. All project-related
databases and settings will be removed.

Stop. Click Stop to stop the execution of the selected project. This will abort the
project execution and the project will go into Stopping state. Project progress is not
saved. In other words, a project that has been stopped and restarted must to start
processing again from the beginning. Stopping projects can take some time but
pressing the Stop Services and then Start Services button will put the projects
directly to Stopped State. NEVER stop all services unless all projects are in Completed
or Stopping state. If the highlighted project is new, stopped, or completed, the action
for this button is Start.

Once a project has been created, it will show up in the Project List window. To start a
project, select it and click Start (under Actions).

12.2 Manage Connections


When creating a new project, the user may discover that the needed connection is not
listed on the Import dialog. If this happens, click the Connection Manager button on
the Import dialog to launch the FTP Connection Manager. The FTP Connection
Manager lists the existing connections and information associated with them.

The buttons at the bottom of the dialog are:

New. Launches the FTP Connection dialog, where new connections can be created.

Edit. Launches the FTP Connection dialog, where an existing connection can be edited.
Not all fields can be edited.

Verify. Tests the selected connection. The result of the test will be presented in a pop-
up message box. The verification test can take several seconds, depending on the
internet connection speed.

Delete. Deletes the selected connection.

Close. Closes the dialog. Changes are always saved when the dialog is closed.

12.2.1 FTP Connection Dialog
To create a new connection, fill in the fields as described below and click OK to save
the connection and close the dialog. (Or, click Cancel to close the dialog without
saving the connection.)

The Verify button tests the connection. The result of the test will be presented in a
pop-up message box. The verification test can take several seconds, depending on the
internet connection speed.

Name. This field specifies the user-defined name of the FTP connection.

Host. This field specifies the IP address of the remote server.

Port. This field specifies the port number to be used for communication. The default
FTP port is 21.

Site Type. This field specifies the type of protocol used for communication: FTP or
SFTP. If SFTP is selected, two more fields show up on the dialog: Authentication and
Key File.

Authentication. This field is only visible when Site Type is set to SFTP. It
specifies the type of authentication to be used.

Key File. This field is only visible when Site Type is set to SFTP. If the
authentication field is set to Public Key Authentication, this field specifies
the key file to use. The key file can be a PEM or PFX file, depending on the
public key authentication type.

User ID. This field specifies the login ID of the user connecting to the remote server.

Password. This field specifies the password of the user connecting to the remote
server.

12.3 Log History Viewer


The Log History Viewer summarizes all messages for the project selected on
the Manage Projects window.

Show Data for Last. Use the spin control to specify for how many hours back in time
to show messages, and then click Refresh. (The window does not refresh automatically
when the scope is changed.)

Clear History Older Than. Use the spin control to specify the age of the messages to
be cleared, and then click Delete.

The Number of Errors section shows summaries of critical errors and other errors that
occurred during the interval displayed.

Selecting a message in the list will update the Message Details section at the bottom
of the window with additional message information.

13 Data Collector Installation


Normally MegaMon messages are streamed from the Emil server on a TCP/IP socket
connection in real time over the GEO Interface.

NOTE: TEMS Visualization does NOT read the MegaMon files (.MGA, .MGZ) directly.
This is an internal format for NSN use only.

Currently, TEMS Visualization requires the message flow from the GEO Interface to be
stored to a static file before import into TEMS Visualization. This is achieved by using
the TEMS Visualization Data Collector application.

Ensure that the TEMS Visualization Data Collector application is installed on a


Windows machine that can:

Connect via TCP/IP to the GEO Interface.

Write files to a folder accessible by TEMS Visualization, either through FTP


or through a mapped network drive.

Start the installation by running the setup. Click on the Data Collector (Optional for
NSN) link and follow the instructions.

For detailed information on how to set up data collection for the NSN GEO Interface,
refer to the TEMS Visualization 9.2 Data Sources manual.
