7.4 CALL ALERT TESTING
7-4.1 Radio Initiated Call Alert Test
Sequence, Trunk I and
Trunk I EP II Signaling
Configure the analyzer for trunk mode (paragraph
6-5) and Radio Initiated Testing (paragraph 6-6).
1. Enter the following parameters:
Sig Type: Trunk I or Trunk I EP II
ID Disp: HEX or DEC
Call Seq: CALL ALERT
NOTE
For test sequences with ID Disp set for DEC,
the six-digit Unit ID decoded from the ISW is
the personality ID of the radio and not the
Unit ID. When ID Disp is set for HEX, the
Unit ID is displayed in hexadecimal. The
Fleet and Subfleet IDs are always displayed in
hexadecimal independent of the ID Disp
selection.
2. Set the System ID to match the radio system
ID and one of the system IDs in the Radio
Configuration screen in order to decode radio
ID information.
3. Enter the CCTx or Control Channel number.
Enter the VCTx or voice channel number.
NOTE
Splinter channels can only be entered by
frequency. Standard channels can be entered
by frequency or channel number (channel
numbers only map to standard channel
frequencies).
4. Set the monitor attenuation and port selection.
Suggested port selection is RF I/O with 20 dB
attenuation.
5. Set the generator attenuation and port
selection. Suggested port selection is RF I/O
with -50 dB for the level setting.
6. Press the start test softkey.
7. The status thermometer displays the major
signaling events that occur during a radio
initiated Call Alert test. Refer to table 7-17.
8. Press the stop test softkey to terminate the test
sequence.

SIGNALING EVENT DESCRIPTION
F Control Channel Idle
The trunking analyzer outputs a background pattern on the control
channel to lock the radio.
J ISW Received
The radio sent an Inbound Signaling Word (ISW) on the control
channel indicating the radio has been keyed.
P Call Alert Ack OSW
The trunking analyzer sends a call alert acknowledge OSW to the radio
simulating that the target radio received the call alert signal.
