TEMS Visualization 9.2 Professional
TEMS Visualization 9.2 Enterprise Getting Started & Server Management. This
document details the requirements and instructions needed to set up and
run projects in TEMS Visualization Enterprise.
TEMS Visualization 9.2 Data Sources. This manual applies to both TEMS
Visualization Professional and TEMS Visualization Enterprise. It provides an
overview of the data sources that can be processed into projects by TEMS
Visualization and how to set up the data collection for these sources.
TEMS Visualization 9.2 WCDMA, LTE & Trace User Manual. This manual
applies to both TEMS Visualization Professional and TEMS Visualization
Enterprise. It describes the operation, data views, and analysis features of
the WCDMA, LTE, and Trace application.
TEMS Visualization 9.2 GSM User Manual and TEMS Visualization 9.2 Task
Manager Manual. These manuals apply only to TEMS Visualization
Professional. They describe the operations, data views, and analysis features
of the GSM application.
The information in this manual, TEMS Visualization 9.2 Professional Getting Started, is
required to set up and use a TEMS Visualization Professional system. The following
chapters are included:
7
This Getting Started manual also provides the following information for users of the
WCDMA, LTE, and Trace application (similar information for the GSM application is
provided in the TEMS Visualization 9.2 GSM User Manual):
8
TEMS Visualization 9.2 Professional
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.

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.

To launch the Cell Configuration Manager, go to the Import tab and click the
Manage Cell Configuration button.
Cell configurations contain the site and cell information used by the projects to, for
example, display the cells on the map or display the defined neighbor relations for a
cell. The same cell configuration can be used by multiple projects. Please refer to the
TEMS Visualization 9.2 Data Sources manual for descriptions of the accepted cell
configuration file formats.
The Cell Configuration Manager dialog lists the currently available cell configurations,
provides management options for them, and allows new cell configurations to be
created. The configurations are identified by technology and vendor.
When creating a new project, the user may discover that the needed cell configuration
is not listed on the Data Source window. If this happens, click the Cell Config Manager
button on the Data Source window, which launches the Cell Configuration Manager.
New. Launches the Cell Configuration Import dialog, where a new cell configuration
can be created.
Edit. Launches the Cell Configuration Import dialog, where an existing cell
configuration can be edited. (Not all fields can be edited.)
Delete. Deletes the selected cell configuration. A cell configuration cannot be deleted
if it is referenced by a project. The project referencing it must first be deleted.
Close. Closes the dialog. Changes are always saved when the dialog is closed.
63
10.1 Cell Configuration Import
To create a cell configuration, fill in the fields on the Cell Configuration Import dialog.
After completion, click OK to save the settings and close the dialog. (Or, click Cancel to
close the dialog without saving the changes.) The system will process the newly
created cell configuration database at the time specified during the data generation
process.
Name:
Cell Configuration Name. Enter a unique name for this cell configuration.
Local Data Processing Path. If you want to override the default project
setting, enter the path to the temporary data processing folder. If possible,
the folder should be on a different physical drive from the primary database
for performance reasons. In a system with two physical drives, this folder
typically resides on the C: drive.
64
TEMS Visualization 9.2 Professional
Cell Configuration Details. After specifying the cell configuration and reference files,
this section will be populated with the cell configuration details. Edits or deletions can
be made using the buttons in the Update Cell Configuration section.
Schedule. Select Once if the cell configuration file is to be downloaded and processed
a single time. Select Every ___ day(s) if the cell configuration file is to be downloaded
and processed periodically. Use the spin control to specify the interval, in terms of
days.
Verify Neighbors. If the cell configuration setup includes both WCDMA and GSM cell
configurations, you may want to click the Verify Neighbors button to see how well the
configurations match. A text box will pop up to indicate how many external GSM cells
defined in the WCDMA cell configuration actually exist in the GSM cell configuration.
65
Add Cell Configuration Files. The first section on the Cell Configuration Information
dialog allows you to specify the type of cell configuration file(s) to be used and their
location.
For Ericsson WCDMA and LTE these are normally BulkCM files (.xml, .xml.gz).
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:
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. Click if the cell configuration file resides on a folder local to this
machine.
66
TEMS Visualization 9.2 Professional
- 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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
