TrueSite Handheld Features
This section describes the main features of TrueSite handheld software and applies to both single
handheld solutions and multidevice solutions controlled from a tablet with TrueSite Controller.
Parallel Test Sequencer
Customers use apps such as voice, web, and e-mail in parallel, so operators must be able
to test their network the same way a user experiences it. That’s why JDSU introduced the
unique parallel test sequencer. The sequencer lets users create and run serial and parallel test
sequences directly on the device to simplify test case setup when stress testing the network.
The graphical display updates as the test runs to show each test’s status. This capability
clearly shows which tests are running as well as which tests have passed or failed. This highly
graphical solution provides unparalleled exibility and visibility on a handheld network test tool.
A simple GUI lets users congure tests by simply touching the test and running it serially or
in parallel, which was never possible in a handheld device until now. The easy-to-understand
screen displays serial tests from top to bottom, with parallel tests shown in the same row.
Engineers can even share test sequences with other users to achieve consistent testing across
dispersed teams.
Remote Control
Users can also control TrueSite handhelds via SMS from a controlling device to either single
or multiple test devices. This capability enables deploying TrueSite at an unattended location
and sending SMS command messages and updated les to engineers working in the eld.
The following command messages are supported: START, STOP, STATUS REPORT, LOAD
LOCAL CONFIG FILE (stored on device), LOAD REMOTE CONFIG FILE (from an FTP server),
LOAD LOCAL SEQUENCE FILE (stored on the device), and LOAD REMOTE SEQUENCER FILE
(from an FTP server). JDSU also provides an application for Android phones that will send a
START or STOP SMS to one or multiple handhelds.
Synchronize Multiple TrueSite Handhelds via Bluetooth®
In addition to using the multidevice TrueSite Controller app, it is possible to control and
synchronize up to six handhelds, typically located in a messenger bag, from a control
handheld. This is a standard capability of our handheld solution and does not use the TrueSite
Controller software options or receiver described earlier. When recording is started on the
controlling handheld, a Bluetooth message is sent to remote handhelds, instructing them to
begin recording. This guarantees synchronization which is crucial during this type of testing.
During outdoor collection, location information is synchronized via GPS.
During indoor collection, users can use predened waypoint les that guide them through
a predetermined test route or use the “I-am-here” capability to follow a dierent route. Each
waypoint or I-am-here action on the control handheld will send a message via Bluetooth to all
remote handhelds, synchronizing their position and test results within the test route with the
controlling handheld.
This capability provides a scalable, portable test solution that can record up to eight devices:
one controlling device and up to seven devices in the backpack. This versatile solution is
useful for verifying multiple operators in parallel, generating load at specic locations, testing
small cells, or testing WiFi hotspots.
Comprehensive test scenarios can be
created and executed quickly, with
failed tests indicated in red, passed tests
in green, and tests being executed in grey.
