IS-2000 Test Operating Mode

When the test set is in IS-2000 test operating mode (as opposed to active cell operating mode) it is necessary

for the mobile station under test to be capable of independently performing operations that normally occur

through over-the-air signaling. This capability is referred to as test mode and is usually accomplished using

commands which are sent to the mobile station from a system controller (usually a personal computer)

through a proprietary digital interface. See <test mode paper>.

To make measurements on the reverse channel in test mode, the mobile station must first synchronize to the

test set’s forward pilot channel and demodulate the sync and paging channels. This is consistent with normal

system acquisition procedures and results in the mobile station reaching the mobile station idle state. In

active cell operating mode, the mobile station at this point would autonomously perform a power-up

registration after entering the idle state. A call could then be initiated, using over-the-air call processing, and

the fundamental channel would be established and maintained according to the applicable message protocol.

However, in test mode the test set and mobile station are directed to the same FCH (fundamental channel) by

the system controller or through manual user interfaces without over-the-air call processing.

Forward CDMA channels available in test mode

In test mode, the test set can be configured to transmit a forward channel that emulates a base station

operating in radio configuration (RC) 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. See “Forward Channel Description” on page 755
