ASTRO TRUNKING APPLICATIONS
10-1 BASIC TRUNKED RADIO TESTING
This section of the manual contains information
on typical test setups to perform some of the more
common trunked radio tests using the R2670
Digital Communications System Analyzer with
Trunking Option.
The start test softkey initiates the test sequence
defined by the parameters selected on the
trunking screen. If the parameters selected are not
valid, the test sequence is terminated and an error
message is displayed. If the parameters selected
are valid when the start test softkey is pressed,
the start test softkey is replaced with the stop test
softkey. For a list of error and warning messages,
refer to Appendix G.
10-2 DISPATCH TESTING
10-2.1 Radio Initiated Dispatch Test, Astro
Signaling
Configure the analyzer for trunk mode (paragraph
9-5) and Radio Initiated Testing (paragraph 9-6).
NOTE
SMARTZONE configures the analyzer to
perform a SMARTZONE affiliation
sequence prior to executing the dispatch test
sequence. If the radio is not capable of
SMARTZONE auto affiliation, the selection
should be set to DISABLED.
1. Enter the following parameters:
Sig Type: ASTRO VSELP or
ASTRO IMBE
ID Disp: HEX or DEC

2. Set the System ID.
3. Enter the CCTx or Control Channel number.
Enter the VCTx or voice channel number.
