Resources and Tools¶
This page explains about the tools, resources, reference, and downloads available with CM.
Tools¶
The section describes the procedures on how to use the following test tools.
- Field Engineering tool
- CAPI Test tool
Field Engineering Tool¶
Field Engineering tool is for field engineers to test real time values such as Base Station hand over, RSSI, CINR, BSID, center frequency, transmit power, and other values related to a network. Network engineers can use this tool to study and analyze the network behavior.
To use the tool, do the following:
- Select the library from the Select Library drop-down list.
- Select one of the options under Select State. For example, connect.
- The scroll-down box will display the status as per your selection.
- Click Save to save the result.
- Click Clear to clear the result.
You can select the number of rows that you want view in the result box from the Buffered Rows spin box.
Session Tester
CAPI Test Tool¶
CAPI test tool is for vendor devices. The CAPI manages devices through device drivers as it has a set of commands used in the drivers manufactured by the vendors. Script tester helps you validate a CAPI implementation created by the vendor.
Script tester lists all the commands available in the CAPI. You can select, execute a command, and observe the output. The tool caches the returned values so you don’t have to enter input values for every command. It allows you to run single command or a list of commands as script. This tool generates a log file for all the executed commands as well. You can also apply the “delay” parameters on the commands based on their synchronous and asynchronous type.
To use the tool, do the following:
- Select the library from the Select Library option.
The commands will be populated in the left scroll-down box. - Select a single or multiple command(s).
- Click the Add button.
The commands will be moved to the right scroll-down box and the scroll-down box will display the status as per your selection. - Click Run Script to execute the script.

Resources¶
This is a quick reference for the following third-party libraries that are already a part of the Connection Manager package.
- Java Native Access (JNA)
- Apache Log4J for logging
- Derby for Embedded Database
- Java Script Object Notation (JSON) library
Java Native Access¶
JNA provides Java programs easy access to its native shared libraries (DLLs on Windows) without writing any code but Java. When you access the build, you do not require JNI or native code. To know more about JNA, click the link below:: https://jna.dev.java.net/
Apache Log4J for logging¶
Log4j is an OpenSource logging API. To know more about Apache 4J, click the link below: http://logging.apache.org/log4j/
License is the same as the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) under one or more contributor license agreements. To know more about the apache licenses, refer the following link: http://www.apache.org/licenses/
Derby for Embedded Database¶
Apache Derby, an Apache DB subproject, is an open-source relational database implemented entirely in Java and available under the Apache License, Version 2.0. To know more about Derby, click the link below: http://db.apache.org/derby/
Java Script Object Notation Library¶
JSON is a lightweight data-interchange format. To know more about JSON, click the link below: http://www.json.org/
