Step 2: Configure Test Set and Mobile Station Parameters
In this step you set up the parameters which characterize the test set's forward channel signal, the access terminal's reverse channel signal, and the connection between them.
You may choose to configure some of the following parameters during this step:
- Connection parameters - Limited TAP , Cell Band and Channel .
- Parameters which characterize the test set's forward channel - Color Code , Control Channel Data Rate , Country Code , Preferred Control Channel Cycle , Sector ID , Subnet Mask , PN Offset and cell power (see Cell Power, AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise) Power and Total RF Power ).
-
Parameters which characterize the access terminal's reverse channel:
- Gains - ACK Channel Gain , DRC Channel Gain , Data Offset Nom , and Data Offset 9k6|19k2|38k4|76k8|153k6 .
- Open loop output power and access probes - Open Loop Adjust , Preamble Length Probe Initial Adjust Probe Num Step Probe Power Step and Probe Sequence Max
- AT Max Power
Some of these parameters are set or changed while performing specific C.S0033 tests as discussed in Step 5: INITiate and FETCh Measurements or during Step 6: Reconfigure Test Set and Mobile Station Connection Parameters .
