Overview
This section draws the EFEM ins and outs and summarizes the document structure.

2.1

What is the EFEM?


It is a mode. The EFEM aims at showing some information about the mobile regarding
mobile protocol information. To do so, the EFEM just reads data generated by protocol
software layers in a non-intrusive way.
The EFEM displays the parameters on a screen-by-screen basis. Each screen gathers
information on a particular field, for example the serving cell, one specific neighbour cell,
and so on. You can scroll from one screen to the other using the scrolling keys. Which
screens are available while scrolling depends on the phone context. Section 4.2 goes into
the details of the screens and the scrolling lists.

2.2

Document Overview
Section 2.1 What is the EFEM gives the EFEM main guidelines.
Section 4.2 lists and describes the parameters tracked by the EFEM and shows the
screenshots, with a mapping of the parameters on a screen-by-screen basis. Keep in mind
that appendix B "Glossary of the EFEM parameters" is a glossary of all the parameters
displayed by the EFEM.
Section 4.2 also describes the scrolling mechanism, the screen tracking and the modes
related to the phone. Section 4.2.4 gives the screen-to-parameter path. The way backwards,
meaning the path from a specific parameter to the appropriate screen, is given through
appendix B "Glossary of the EFEM parameters", for each parameter.
Section 4.3 explains the data sampling procedure, and how to freeze the data display.
Appendix A "Frequently asked questions" answers frequently asked questions about the
EFEM.

Showing up and Hiding FEM screens


To show up FEM screens, FEM feature must have been activated first. Section 4.1.2
explains how to activate FEM from the main menu.
Once the phone is powered up, go to the idle screen. To show up FEM screens, toggle
menu + left softkey . To hide FEM screens back, toggle the same key sequence.

EFEM feature description


As mentioned before, the EFEM displays information on a screen-by-screen basis. This
section covers what the screens are, how they are laid out and which one gets displayed
when.

4.1

Display Overview

4.1.1

The Concept of Screen


The EFEM aims at displaying near-real time* protocol information. Unfortunately, there is
so much information that it cannot be all displayed at the same time on the handset. A
subset is displayed at a given time and it is called screen. Screens are made up so that
little information is repeated between screens. You can change the screen (and therefore
subset of parameters) viewed through the scrolling keys. One press results in a whole,
direct change in screen. Therefore, we consider screens to be arranged in a list, where one
item of the list is a screen:

screen 1
scroll down

screen 2

scroll up

screen 3

Figure 1 - List of Screens


Lists are circular, i.e. scrolling down on (screen 3) will lead to (screen 1), and vice-versa.
Now, not all of the information has a meaning at the same time. For instance, h parameter
does not mean anything when HCS is not used. To cope with this, information has been
grouped on screens so that most of it is valid under the overall same conditions. From there,
it makes sense to change the content of the list of screens according to these overall
conditions. In order to describe these changes, we shall consider that there are several
possible lists, one of which is made available to the user at a given time.
Finally, a parameter is the smallest autonomous piece of information of a screen. Its
meaning is protocol specified (please refer to [2]).

*Please refer to section 4.3 for details on the sampling mechanism

Changing the Availability to "on" allows the user to display the EFEM screens.
Note that if the availability is set to "on", after a power-cycle of the phone, the first EFEM
screen is automatically displayed.

4.2

Display
Screens are put together in modes. Each mode contains a typical list of screens. There are
two modes: parameters mode, favorites mode. The modes are described in section 4.2.2.
The screen can change either because the user scrolls from one to the other (inside a list),
or because the EFEM cannot maintain the screen in the current mode. For details on the
lists of screens, please refer to section 4.2.1. For details on the rest of the scrolling
mechanism, please see section 4.2.2. Each screen is individually described in section 4.2.4.
Note that hashes are "#" displayed when a parameter is not used. Note that asteriks are *

13

Enhanced Field Engineering Mode Users Manual Release 3.0, Version 05.02

displayed when a parameter has a value meaning that it is not relevant, exclamation marks
! when it is out of range.
Note that for a given screen, the display can change when parameters values are refreshed.
Only the values change though, the user is still viewing the same screen.

On top of this, a list of favourite screens can be created and edited by the user. Please go to
section 4.2.3 to know how to edit your list of favourite screens and how to browse it.
If you want to be able to get oriented among the EFEM screens, you may be interested in
having a look at section 4.2.5. Appendix B "Glossary of the EFEM parameters" shows
which screen displays a given parameter, for each parameter.
Section 4.3 enlightens the user on data sampling and freezing the data.

4.2.1

Lists

4.2.1.1

List of Parameters
EFEM displays several screens. The screens suitable for display are gathered by RRC
context (DCH State, non DCH State as defined in [2]) and by GSM context (GSM 3G cell
Measurement Report). In each context, the screens are arranged in lists, through which the
user can scroll. These scrolling lists are described in the three tables below. But the current
list is not always the same; which list is chosen to be the current one depends on the phone
context. This is because some screens are irrelevant in some contexts.
Three scrolling lists are available for parameters mode: one for WCDMA DCH State
context, one for WCDMA non DCH State context and one for GSM . Whereas in favorites
mode, the scrolling list does not change with the context
All neighbour cell screens have been gathered together in the non-DCH scrolling list
(WCDMA). The neighbour cells are sorted by decreasing signal strength. The EFEM does
not track the cell chosen. Instead, the position of the neighbour cell in the neighbour list is
maintained, i.e. if you are viewing the second strongest neighbour cell, you shall always
view the second strongest cell, regardless of its scrambling code. If the composition of the
neighbour cells list changes, or if it is reordered, the information displayed will represent
another cell, but still the second strongest.
Below are screens describing the contents of each of these lists. Please be sure to read the
following paragraph for general information on the scrolling mechanism.

Figure 4 - Key Bindings

The picture above shows which keys are involved in EFEM use
4.2.2.2

Modes
Display includes two modes. This section intends to describe them briefly. To pass from
one mode to another, long press left softkey, once the EFEM screens have been entered.

4.2.2.3

Parameters mode: this mode contains the exhaustive list of screens displaying the
EFEM parameters. Each screen regroups parameters by theme: serving cell screen,
neighbour cells screen, and so on.
Favorites mode: this mode contains a set of screens chosen by the user. Please
refer to the section 4.2.3 for more details.

Scrolling Mechanism
If displaying the EFEM screens, navigation through the different modes involves a long
left softkey press. A letter at the top left corner indicates what mode the current screen list
belongs to:

P for parameters mode,


F for favorites mode.
16

Scrolling involves the up and down arrows. Once you have entered a list of screens,
scrolling up shows the previous screen, while scrolling down shows the next screen. Note
that it is possible to access the first screen from the last while scrolling down as well as to
access the last screen from the first while scrolling up. The following figures roughly
represents how to scroll from one mode to the next on one hand, how to scroll within a
mode on the other hand.

Figure 6 - EFEM Parameters Screen

4.2.2.4

Tracking
In order to keep the screen as stable as possible even when the current list changes,
screens are tracked when possible. This subsection gives a description of how the screens
get tracked.
To explain this mechanism, a few figures are presented here. They illustrate what happens
when the current list of screens changes. Here is how to read them. Two lists of screens are
represented by a scroll with their names and, below, a set of labels for the screens they hold.
The user is supposed to be viewing the list on the left-hand side, when the current list
suddenly changes to the one on the right-hand side (as indicated by an arrow). Before the
list changes, the user sees the screen in yellow
in the left list. After the change in lists,
the user sees the pink
(or partly in pink ) screen in the right list. In the destination
list, the last screen viewed in that list before the change occurs is in yellow.
Below are the three three rules applied. Each of them is a use case. If the first rule does not
apply (i.e. the case does not match), the second is evaluated, then the third if necessary, and
so on. The last rule always applies.

First Rule:Each time the phone is powered up, the screen displayed is the first of
the current list. Each last screen viewed in a list is the first one.
18

Enhanced Field Engineering Mode Users Manual Release 3.0, Version 05.02

August 9, 2004

Second Rule: When the phone context (and therefore the current list of screens
available) changes, the current screen is tracked. This means that whenever the
screen you see before the change exists in the destination lists, the screen will not
change. This is shown on the figure 7 below.
On figure 7, the phone has established a call, it is in RRC State DCH. At end of the
call, the connection is released and the phone returns in a non-DCH State. The
EFEM tries to display the Cell Measurement screen (destination screen). The Cell
Measurement screen is available, and the rule described above applies: the screen
displayed is Cell Measurement.

changed or the screen is no longer relevant, then the first screen in the destination
list is displayed as shown in figure 8. .

Favorites mode
In favorites mode, the screens are displayed whatever the context is.
The list of favourite screens will be of some help to any user who finds that the screens do
not get displayed for enough time. It can also satisfy those who do not like that the EFEM
switches between screens and would rather see a screen with lots of stars from time to
time than a change in the layout of the parameters. It is also a way of customizing the
scrolling order in the EFEM screens.
The list of screens is edited by the user. To add a screen, be sure you are in the parameters
display mode; then (short) press left softkey when viewing the corresponding screen. A
notice informs you that the screen has been added to favorites. To remove a screen from
your favorites, go to that screen among the favourite ones and (short) press left softkey*.
Finally, if you do not have any screen in your list of favorites while entering favorites mode,
the current screen is added to favorites.
Favorites list remain after a power cycle.

4.2.4

Description of the screens


Each screen gathers information on a particular subject. If any of the names of the
parameters is unclear, please refer to appendix B "Glossary of the EFEM parameters". An
explanation of the values displayed is also in that section.

*Note that if you empty the list of favourite screens, you will exit the favorites display mode
20

Enhanced Field Engineering Mode Users Manual Release 3.0, Version 05.02

August 9, 2004

In the following sections, the details of each screen are given. Each of these sections
contains a screen, filled with a snapshot where the figures may not be realistic but mark the
place where the parameter value is located. Each value is linked to a box holding a note,
which gives the name and definition of the parameter. The parameter have a tag on the
screen, which is always in lower case, whereas the values always are in upper case.
When parameters are out of range, exclamation marks (!) filling the space allocated to
the parameter are displayed. When they are irrelevant to the current context, stars (*) are
displayed. When they are not used, hashes ("#") are displayed.
Some parameters may be described as "not yet available". Such parameters cannot be
obtained from EFEM screens at present.
The first four lines of Serving Cell Reselection screen, all Neighbour Cell Reselection
screens and NAS Mobility screen are common to these screens and give Serving Cell
information.
If you want to know where a parameter is located, see appendix C "Where is my parameter
in the EFEM screens?".
Note that for all the following figures, the right-hand side box is not part of the EFEM
screen. Each area in this box is related to a functional group of WCDMA/GSM parameters.

Detailed parameter description


Note that all the terms used in each screen are defined in appendix B "Glossary of the
EFEM parameters".

4.2.5.3

Parameter to screen mapping


In appendix C "Where is my parameter in the EFEM screens?", a table relates each
parameter to each screen(s) where that parameter is displayed.

4.3

Data sampling
This chapter discusses how and when the parameters are obtained from the phone. When
taking readings, please remember that parameters refresh can be disabled (see section
4.3.2).

4.3.1

Sampling mechanism
The parameters are sampled from the lower layers of the phone upon a refresh. EFEM is
updated every two seconds.
When a refresh happens, the data is copied from the global parameters into a temporary
area, and the parameters are displayed on the screen:

Enhanced Field Engineering Mode Users Manual Release 3.0, Version 05.02

August 9, 2004

Figure 9 - Refresh Operation

Global
Parameters

Refresh

EFEM
Temporary
Parameters

Display

Note that the EFEM display is only updated every 2 seconds, hence the data displayed can
be up to 2 seconds old.
Note also that reading the EFEM parameters into display memory takes a small amount of
processing time, hence it is possible that one or more parameters may get updated during
the reading process.

4.3.2

Freezing the Data


The refresh operation can be disabled by hitting right softkey while viewing any
parameter. An F on the top right corner of the screen.
Once refresh is disabled, all parameters will remain static until refresh is enabled again or
until the phone is power cycled. This enables the user to browse information relative to a
precise instant, even if they are on different screens.
To re-enable parameter refresh, hit right softkey again while viewing a parameters
screen. The F displayed on the top right corner of the phone disappears.

4.4

Setting continuous backlight on


It is possible to keep the backlight always on. To do so, navigate through the following
path in the menu tree. Change the Backlight item to continuous.

Release Notes
Please refer to section 4 to get an overall picture of what feature is available on the phone.

5.3

Known bugs & limitations


This section covers known bugs and limitations of the EFEM, as well as whatever not so
user-friendly point. The development team shall try and correct as many of these as
possible in subsequent releases. Limitations that are not expected to be worked on any
more are indicated with a star * in the title. If you come upon a new one, please send a
mail describing the problem, with the software version used, to the contact section 5.3.2

5.3.1

Data inconsistency*
As explained in section 4.3, the parameters are not gathered instantaneously, so they
reflect the state of the phone up to 2 seconds previously. Furthermore, there may be some
incoherence in the data displayed due to the non-intrusive nature of the EFEM; this
incoherence is unlikely to happen. This limitation will not be worked on any further.

5.3.2

Contact
If you come upon a new problem, please send a mail describing the problem, with the
software version used, to the following address: Scott.Matthews@motorola.com

Enhanced Field Engineering Mode Users Manual Release 3.0, Version 05.02

Appendix A

August 9, 2004

Frequently asked questions


How do I show and hide FEM screens ?
To show up FEM screens, FEM feature must have been activated first. Section
4.1.2 explains how to activate FEM from the main menu.
Once the phone is powered up, go to the idle screen. To show up FEM screens,
toggle menu + left softkey. To hide FEM screens back, toggle the same key
sequence.

The values displayed seem incoherent, or not relevant, or do not change


A really important check to perform as soon as the display seems strange is that the
refresh is disabled! If refresh is disabled, the parameters values displayed keep the
value they had when refresh has been frozen. Values change no more, since refresh
is back enabled. Please refer to section 4.2.2.3 to learn how to enable/disable
refresh.

How are the parameters collected? What is the refresh rate?


The parameters are collected every 2 seconds. To learn more about the way in
which parameter values are collected, please refer to section 4.3.1 and section
4.3.2.

At power up, the EFEM screen shows up


When you power down a phone with EFEM on, some settings are saved in non
volatile memory.In that case, during the next power up, the EFEM screens will
show up. EFEM screens may have been hidden or not before power down, it does
not matter.

The EFEM screens list is always circular


It is possible to make circular list of the usual menu of the phone be non-circular.
However, this does not affect the EFEM scrolling, which always remains circular.

Appendix B

August 9, 2004

Glossary of the EFEM parameters

This appendix intends at explaining all the parameters displayed on the EFEM screens (as
they are shown in section 4.2.4). They may be unclear because of the abbreviations used
in this document, or because of a particular semantic used for the EFEM. Parameters
definitions occur in alphabetical order.

ARFCN : Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (GSM).

ATT Flag : TRUE if network requires attach/detach on power up/down.

Attach State : current attach state of the phone.

BSIC : Base Station Identity Code (GSM).

Cell Identity : cell identifier. Number from 0 until 268435456

Cell Type: WCDMA: S: serving cell (out of DCH) ; V: active set cell (in DCH);
A: WCDMA intra neighbour cell; E: WCDMA inter neighbour cell.
GSM: GSM: for GSM only ; GPR: for GSM and GPRS.

CPICH Ec/No : Ec/No value as reported to Network in Measurement Reporting.
