The following should be considered when storing or transporting a circuit board:
• Place the printed-circuit board in conductive, anti-static material.
• Do not insert the printed-circuit board into conventional plastic “snow” trays used for
transporting other devices.
2.2 Using RSS
Use Radio Service Software (RSS) to program a new software version or to update user information
in the codeplug. Refer to “Connecting the Unit to the RSS Workstation” and the Radio Service
Software Read-Me’s for information on the setup and use of RSS.
NOTE: You can use the RSS online Help for locating specific information about RSS dialog boxes
and fields. To access online Help, press F1 while you are viewing an RSS screen.
If you are using the R-2660A Communications System Analyzer in the iDEN mode, which is 6:1
capable, use RSS to program an i897 unit for Full Rate operation. Use the 6:1 Interconnect
softkey for all interconnect testing.
If you are using the R-2660B or later, which is 3:1 capable, use RSS to program an i897 unit for
Half Rate operation. Use the 3:1 Interconnect softkey for all interconnect testing.
In the carrier version of RSS (but not the agent version), you can change interleave values. To access
the fields where you can change these interleave values, go to the User Ergonomics dialog box, and
then click on the Interleave tab.
NOTE: After servicing an i897 unit, use RSS to reprogram the unit back to its original operating state.
Refer to the R-2660 Digital Communications System Analyzer Operator’s Manual for more
information on how to set up this equipment for iDEN mode testing.
2.3 Connecting an i897 Unit to the R-2660
The R-2660 Communications System Analyzer enables you to monitor and perform tests on an i897
unit. Figure 7-1 shows the i897/R-2660 test setup.
Equipment Required: R-2660, reference SIM card, SMA to N-type RF coaxial cable, battery
eliminator, 5.0-12.0 Vdc power supply.
