Remote Mobile Access (RMA)

The purpose of the Remote Mobile Access (RMA) feature is to allow remote control of a mobile device. This functionality is particularly useful for monitoring and managing devices during the execution of test suites.

Overview

The RMA interface provides a live view of the connected mobile device and a set of controls to interact with the device remotely. This is essential for:

  • Remote Testing: Conducting tests on mobile devices from a remote location.
  • Monitoring: Observing the device’s behavior and status during the execution of test suites.
  • Management: Managing device settings and troubleshooting issues without physical access to the device.

Features

  • Live View: Displays the current screen of the connected mobile device.
  • Remote Control: Includes controls for navigation, power, and settings adjustments.
  • Information Display: Shows device information such as MSISDN, IMSI, model, and operating system.
  • MCM Trace Collection: Allows MCM users to send AT commands, start or stop trace collection, monitor trace status, and download the latest trace file.

How to Use

  1. Connect to the Device:

    • Open the Mobile ID page and click the phone button next to the phone you want to view.

    • The connection status will be displayed at the top of the interface.

  2. Interact with the Device:

    • You can use the phone screen with your mouse
    • Use the provided controls on the left side of the interface to navigate and manage the device.

    • The controls include navigation buttons, power options, and a menu for additional settings.

  3. Monitor Test Execution:

    • During the execution of a test suite, use the live view to monitor the device’s behavior.
    • Any issues or anomalies can be observed and addressed in real-time.

MCM Trace Collection

When Remote Mobile Access is opened for an MCM device, the page also provides an MCM output panel and trace collection controls.

  • Use the Command input to send an AT command to the MCM device. The command output is printed in the MCM Output panel.

Trace Collection Controls

  • Trace Collection shows the current trace state as Active or Inactive.
  • Click Start Trace to begin collecting a trace from the MCM device.
  • Click Stop Trace to stop an active trace collection.
  • When a trace file is available, the latest trace file is shown under the controls with a timestamp and a Download button.
