NOTE:
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 9.1 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.
The buttons at the bottom of the dialog are: 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.
59
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. Create Cell Configuration Database On Drive. Select the drive on which the database files will be created.
Add Cell Configuration. Cell configuration files specific to technologies may be required when processing tracing data. This section identifies the cell configuration files and reference files to be used. See Add Cell Configuration Files for more information.
60
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.
61
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 GSM cell configurations, these are normally CNAI files (.txt) or Cell Files (.cel). For Ericsson or NSN WCDMA cell configurations, these are normally BulkCM files (.xml, .xml.gz) or Cell Files (.cel). For Ericsson LTE cell configurations, these are normally BulkCM files (.xml, .xml.gz) or Cell Files (.cel).
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: 2. 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
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). For the IRAT (GSM) neighbor optimization feature to be fully functional, the GSM cells in the area must be included in the cell configuration. The CGI (MCC+MNC+LAC+CI) for the GSM cells must be present since this links to the External GSM Cell relations as defined in the WCDMA cell configuration files. The site coordinates (latitude and longitude), antenna direction, and antenna beamwidth should also be included to allow presentation of the GSM cells on the map.
NOTE:
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.
62
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 names of the 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 included only 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.
63
Match between Cell Configuration & Reference Cell File These options determine how the cell configuration and reference cell file data should be matched. For GSM, when an Ericsson CNAI export file is used for the cell configuration together with a reference file, select from among the following: Cell Name. This radio button specifies that the cell name, which must be unique, is to be used as the matching criterion. This CELL parameter from the reference file is matched on the CELL parameter from the CNAI export file. MCC+MNC+LAC+CI. This radio button specifies that the matching criterion between the CNAI export file and the reference cell file are the MCC+MNC+LAC+CI fields.
For WCDMA, when an Ericsson BulkCM file is used for the cell configuration together with a reference file, select from among the following: Cell Name. This radio button specifies that the cell name, which must be unique, is to be used as the matching criterion between the cell configuration file and the reference cell file. The Cell Name Source radio button defines which one of two fields within the BulkCM file will be used as the source for the cell name from the UtranCell node: the UtranCell id or the userLabel (the userLabel often has a more verbose cell name than the Utran Cell ID field). RNC-ID+C-ID. This radio button specifies that the matching criterion between the BulkCM file and the reference cell file is the RNC-ID+C-ID. These fields from the reference file are matched on the following fields from the Ericsson BulkCM: rncId from the RncFunction node and cId from the UtranCell node. MCC+MNC+LAC+CI. This radio button specifies that the matching criterion between the BulkCM file and the reference cell file is the MCC+MNC+LAC+CI. These fields from the reference file are matched on the following fields from the Ericsson BulkCM: MCC and MNC from the RncFunction node, LAC from the UtranCell node, and cId from the UtranCell node.
For LTE, when an Ericsson BulkCM file is used for the cell configuration together with a reference file, select from among the following: Cell Name. This radio button specifies that the cell name, which must be unique, is to be used as the matching criterion between the cell
64
configuration file and the reference cell file. The CELL field from the reference file is matched with the userLabel from the BulkCM vsDataEUtranCellFDD node. eNBId&cellId. This radio button specifies that the matching between the cells in the cell configuration file and the reference cell file is done based on the eNBId+cellId. These fields from the reference file are matched on the eNBId from the vsDataENodeBFunction node and the cellId from the vsDataEUtranCellFDD node.
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.
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.

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 9.1 Data Sources manual.
