Step 2: Configure Test Set and Mobile Station Parameters
This practice also applies to test applications which test both analog and digital channel types. In this case
you should specify the channel for the analog and digital channel types in advance. Then, switching
between them requires only one command to initiate the change, and not an additional change to specify
the channel of the new channel type.
If you specify channels in advance as described, the only time you need to specify a channel during testing
is if you move to a new channel within the same band and channel type.
• Set Active Band and Mode
Once you have specified the channel information for each band and channel type, you must set the active
band using one of the following commands (depending upon which test application you are using):
If the test application you are using supports testing of both analog and digital channel types, then you
must also set the channel type using the following command:
• Active Cell and Test Mode Considerations
The function of the CALL commands differ depending upon whether you are in active cell or test mode.
In active cell mode, when you use the CALL commands to set the channel numbers, the test set’s output
frequency and receiver frequency are set. A message is also sent to the mobile station to set its frequency.
However, in test mode, since the BSE does not send call processing information to the mobile station, the
CALL commands only configure the test set’s output frequency and receiver frequency. You need to also
send the appropriate test mode commands to the mobile station to set it to the correct frequency.
In test mode, instead of using the CALL commands to configure the test set’s frequencies, you may prefer to
manually control the RF generator and RF analyzer using the CALL:RFG and RFAN commands,
respectively. In either case, you must still send the appropriate test mode commands to the mobile station
to move it to the proper frequency.
