2 Important Information
2.2 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.
• When testing data services only, use a Log Configuration 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.

Infovista´s new Voice QoE algorithm uses a combination of network parameters, codec/client information and
reference audio to predict MOS scores with proven high accuracy for VoLTE services using EVS (including full
bandwidth, 24.4kHz).
www.infovista.com | 7
The network and codec/client centric view ensures the benefit of providing scores comparable between different
device models. Its transparency to devices makes it very suitable for benchmarking scenarios for which
independency of the device type and firmware is more desirable.
Any party can exit the conference by hanging up, which converts it back to a 2-party call.
New events have been added to the logfiles so you can distinguish call types during post-processing.
This feature is limited to M2M calls between GSM/UMTS/LTE devices and does not support AQM. It requires the
installation of the TEMS Dialer app on the devices - see the TEMS Investigation User Manual (Help) for details.

9 Known Bugs and Limitations
• 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.
• The procedure to apply an LTE cell lock to the Samsung SM-G960F can be slow and may take up to 1 minute.
9.2.1 General
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”.
1. Open a Command Prompt using the Run as Administrator option (right-click the Command Prompt item on the
Start menu).
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.

9.2.2 TEMS™ Investigation Professional Related
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.)
• 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.
• 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.
www.infovista.com | 22
• 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.
• 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 drop-down selections for setting Speech Codec and Codec Rate in the Script designer do not work. To
activate/deactivate a codec/codec rate, double click on the value.
