2. Important Information
2.1. Disabling Wi-Fi for Mobile Network Testing
Before using smartphone devices for mobile network data service testing, be sure to
turn off Wi-Fi on the device. If Wi-Fi is enabled, the device may run data transfers over
Wi-Fi rather than over the mobile network it is camping on (even if a correct APN has
been entered).

2.2. Configuring Qualcomm Chipset Based Samsung

Devices for VoLTE and Data Service Testing
Qualcomm chipset based Samsung devices with VoLTE capability need to be set up
differently depending on what services are to be tested. Here are some guidelines:
• If you are going to test VoLTE or On-device based data services only, the device
should be either in USB mode DM+MODEM+ADB, or in USB mode “MTP+ADB and
tethered”. Please remember to start the On-device IP Sniffing service from TEMS™
Investigation.
• If you want to test both VoLTE and PC based data services concurrently, the
device must be in USB mode “MTP+ADB and tethered” if the data testing is to be
done over the Ethernet interface. DM+MODEM+ADB will only provide a Dial-Up
connection (RAS).
The USB mode “MTP+ADB and tethered” requires that the device be equipped with an
InfoVista On-device diagnostics service (“On-device Diag”). This is because the USB
mode in question does not expose a serial COM port for DM (Diagnostics Mode).

2.3. Keeping Down Logfile Size When Running Data

Services on Qualcomm and Samsung Chipset Based
Devices
This section applies to Qualcomm chipset based and Samsung chipset based devices,
unless otherwise stated.
It is strongly recommended to follow these steps, since otherwise the PC processing
load will become excessive.

NT17-63879, 1.0, 8/18/2017 1

 • When testing data services only, use a Log Configuration script activity with the
option “Optimized for Data KPI Reports” selected.
− For Qualcomm chipset devices, you can alternatively either disable the DPL log
(0x11EB) or set USB mode to RNDIS+DM+MODEM. Be aware that in
RNDIS+DM+MODEM mode it is not possible to apply certain control functions
such as RAT and band lock. In TEMS™ Investigation the DPL log is by default
turned off in RNDIS+DM+MODEM mode.
• When testing both VoLTE and data services concurrently, use a Log Configuration
script activity with the option “Optimized for Voice/Data KPI Reports” selected.

 9. Known Bugs and Limitations
The bulk of the material previously presented under this heading has been moved to
the regular user documentation. Most device-related items have been transferred to the
Device Configuration Guide, section “Known Device-related Limitations”, while some
are found in other parts of that volume, or in the Installation Guide or User’s Manual.

9.1. Device Related

• If the Sony Xperia X Performance F8131 or Sony XZ F8331 has a pre-ODM 1.70
Modem Control apk installed, it must be de-installed manually to be able to
upgrade.
• There is a dialog appearing on Sony Xperia X Performance and Sony Xperia XZ
when the USB is enabled between PC and phone; don't change setting while phone
is detecting in TEMS product. Valid selections are “Cancel” or “MTP”.´
• When running Samsung Shannon based devices with Samsung’s TCP/IP logbank
enabled, PDCP DL and PDSCH Phy Throughput values can be delayed and may
arrive after the actual service is finished.

9.2. PC Application Related

9.2.1. General

9.2.1.1. TCP Settings

Windows 7 have a function for automatic tuning of TCP settings. Check whether that
function is enabled as follows:
1. Open a Command Prompt using the Run as Administrator option (right-click the
Command Prompt item on the Start menu).
2. Type netsh interface tcp show global and inspect the value returned for Receive
Window Auto-Tuning Level.
3. If this parameter is disabled, give the command netsh interface tcp set global
autotuninglevel=<autotunelevel> to enable it. The value of <autotunelevel> should
be “highlyrestricted” if the server you are contacting does not have RFC1323
implemented or does not support the TCP receive window scaling factor.
Otherwise, <autotunelevel> should have the value “normal”.

9.2.1.2. MTU Size

For LTE operation it may be necessary to adjust the MTU (Maximum Transmission
Unit) size, that is, the maximum IP packet size in bytes. The optimum MTU size
depends on the network bandwidth and other factors, so it is impossible to give a
universally valid recommendation. In general, however, the faster the LTE network, the
more important it is to choose a good MTU setting to be able to approach the maximum
achievable throughput.
Here is how to change the MTU size in Windows 7:
1. Open a Command Prompt using the Run as Administrator option (right-click the
Command Prompt item on the Start menu).

NT17-63879, 1.0, 8/18/2017 27

 2. Run the command netsh interface ipv4 show interfaces and note the identity of the
relevant interface.
3. Run the command netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface <interface id from step 2>
mtu=<desired MTU setting> store=persistent.
Example: netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface 25 mtu=1360 store=persistent

9.2.2. TEMS™ Investigation Professional Related

9.2.2.1. Installation and Start-up

• If TEMS™ Investigation takes a long time to start up (more than about 45 seconds),
the delay may be caused by the OS trying unsuccessfully to check the application’s
Verisign certificate. If a network has been detected, the OS will try to contact
Verisign to verify that the certificate is not on the Certificate Revocation List (CRL).
TEMS™ Investigation will not continue until this procedure times out.
There are two ways to remedy this:
1. Open up your proxy to enable access to the Certificate Revocation List. The
details of how to accomplish this may vary between countries.
2. Turn off the certificate revocation check in Internet Explorer:
• Open Internet Explorer, and from the Tools menu select Internet Options.
• On the Advanced tab, under Security, uncheck the option “Check for
publisher’s certificate revocation” and click Apply.
(This procedure can be automated by the use of Group Policies.)
• When installing TEMS™ Investigation under Chinese or Japanese Windows,
TEMS™ Investigation will not recognize file paths such as C:\User\<user name>\...,
where <user name> contains Chinese or Japanese characters. This will prevent
proper use of the application. (Similar problems may occur with other non-ASCII
characters.)

9.2.2.2. Application Use

• When using the Copy Worksheet function, any Map settings will be lost.
• When many devices are used for data collection, the number of windows in the
workspace should be kept to a minimum to lower the CPU load. It is also advisable
to start a new logfile recording at least once every hour in order to reduce RAM
consumption.
• During logfile recording as well as during logfile replay, temporary files are created
by the application to enable the user to browse the history of the logfile. These files
can become very large (3–4 times the logfile size), the exact size depending on the
number of devices activated in the application at recording time. The temporary files
are named according to the format “temsn” and created in the Windows temp
directory (default: C:\path\tmp, where the path is defined by the environment
variable TMP). Make sure there is plenty of space on the disk where the temp
directory resides. The temporary files are removed when you exit the application;
however, if the application terminates abnormally, this might not happen. The files
must then be removed manually.

NT17-63879, 1.0, 8/18/2017 28

 • Network Connect over RAS fails under Windows 8 and Windows 10 (the IP sniffer
does not start).
• Service Control Designer: If multiple Service Control Designers are open
simultaneously, a script run from one of them could fail.
• Service Control Designer: Problems may arise during script execution if a
participating device is detached from Windows, whether due to user interaction or
to device instability. One thing that may occur in this situation is duplicate recording
of data in multiple logfiles.
• Service Control Designer: The Wait For example in the User’s Manual, section
12.10.6.2 does not work, since a Wait For activity cannot be triggered by another
activity that is inside a (different) while loop.
• Service Control Designer: Running multiple Synchronized Voice Call Sequence
snippets (for different devices) in a Parallel structure does not work. It is necessary
to put each such snippet in its own script; the scripts can then be run concurrently if
desired.
• WCDMA SCH timeslot scans are not scriptable.
• When using the serving cell indication in the Map window to show the strongest
scanned CPICH, this works only for the 1st UMTS frequency (the one decoded into
the information elements named “1st”).
• The information element “Frequent AQM Score Downlink” is not populated when
loading a logfile where uplink PESQ data has been merged in.
• When doing WhatsApp voice calls, both MT and MO side must run from a TEMS™
Investigation script. Otherwise the call will fail.
• To replay TEMS Sense or TEMS Voyager logfiles in TEMS Investigation, you need
to resynchronize your Replay license in License Control Center if it was added
before upgrading to TEMS Investigation 19.2 or later.
• The HTML Report cannot be started when TEMS Investigation is running, the
License check will fail. Run <TEMS installation
directory>\Application\TEMS.ReportGenerator.exe directly to use the HTML Report.

9.2.2.3. Incompatibility with Other Software

• On a PC running Windows 8.1, installing Oracle VM VirtualBox causes TEMS™
Investigation IP sniffing to fail. However, a workaround is to install VirtualBox
without the component “VirtualBox Bridged Networking”.
