How Do I Make Hybrid Mode AT/MS Tests?

• the test set #1 (CDMA) can provide voice and SMS services.
• the packet data services can be provided by both test set #1 (CDMA) and test set #2 (1xEV-DO) but the precedence is given to test set #2. That is, the packet data session is established on test set #2 (1xEV-DO) while both 1xEV-DO and CDMA signal exist. Only when the 1xEV-DO signal (test set #2) is unavailable the packet data session is established on test set #1 (CDMA) if properly set up.

Perform the following procedures to make the functional tests of the hybrid mode AT/MS as recommended by Qualcomm®.

1. Make sure that the hybrid mode AT/MS has successfully acquired both test sets, registered on the test set #1 (CDMA) and opened a session on the test set #2 (1xEV-DO). If not, perform the General Procedure .

2. Follow the instructions as described in the table below to perform the recommended tests that are supported by the test sets. These tests can be broadly divided into three categories:

   • The tests 1 - 4 are to verify that the hybrid mode AT/MS can acquire both the IS-2000/IS-95 (cdma2000) and the IS-856 (1xEV-DO) systems, and perform dual-idle monitoring of the paging channel of the IS-2000/IS-95 system and the control channel of the IS-856 system concurrently.
   • The tests 5 - 20 are to verify that the hybrid mode AT/MS can support services on both the IS-2000/IS-95 and IS-856 systems.
     • The tests 5 - 10 are to verify that the AT/MS can initiate/accept a voice call on the IS-2000/IS-95 system while in an active/dormant packet data connection or in idle state on the IS-856 system.
     • The tests 11 - 16 are to verify that the AT/MS can initiate/accept SMS services on the IS-2000/IS-95 system while in an active/dormant packet data connection or in idle state on IS-856 system.
     • The tests 17 - 20 are to verify that the AT/MS can establish a packet data connection on the IS-856 system, or on the IS-2000 system when IS-856 system is unavailable.
   • The tests 21- 28 are related to the MIP operations of the hybrid mode AT/MS.
     • The tests 21 - 24 are to verify that the hybrid mode AT/MS can handoff the packet data connection between the IS-856 and IS-2000 system while using the AT/MS in MIP.
     • The tests 25 - 28 are to verify the fundamental MIP operations. For example, connect a MIP call using static or dynamic home IP address, perform a MIP to SIP fallback if MIP registration fails, etc.

   For details on these tests' definitions, see Recommended Functional Tests for Hybrid Mode AT/MS .

   Instructions for Recommended Test Cases

   Test No.	Instructions
   1	To verify that the hybrid mode AT/MS periodically (based on the Slot Cycle Index) tunes away to IS-2000/IS-95 system for monitoring its paging channel slot while having an open session on IS-856 system: Make sure that the Timer Based Registration State is set to On on the test set #1. Verify that the AT/MS makes registrations on test set #1 periodically which indicates the AT/MS will monitor the paging channel slot while having an open session on IS-856 system. This can be observed from the updated registration data in the Mobile Station Information window.
   2	To verify that the hybrid mode AT/MS enters 1xEV-DO power save mode after failing to acquire a 1xEV-DO system: On test set #2, press the Close Session ( F7 on Call Parms 1 of 3 ) to close the current open session (go to Idle state), and then set the Cell Power ( F7 on Call Parms 1 of 3 ) to Off to simulate that the 1xEV-DO system is unavailable. You should see that the hybrid mode AT/MS can not automatically re-open a session and the test set # 2 stays at Idle state.
   3	To verify that the hybrid mode AT/MS always proposes an appropriate PCCC during the session negotiation: Change the AT/MS's MIN using your specific service programming tool. You can not change the MIN from the test set. The PCCC value varies based on the MIN of the hybrid mode AT/MS. Observe the Access Network Information screen on the test set #2. You should see that the Preferred Control Channel Cycle Control value proposed by hybrid mode AT/MS is changed along with the change of the MIN and is updated after a successful session negotiation. The session is then successfully re-opened again.
   4	To verify the hybrid mode AT/MS's behavior when it moves to a location where no 1xEV-DO signal is available but a good CDMA signal is available, and when it moved back where both signals were available: On test set #2, press the Close Session ( F7 on Call Parms 1 of 3 ) to close the current open session, and then set the Cell Power ( F7 on Call Parms 1 of 3 ) to Off to simulate that the 1xEV-DO system is unavailable. You should see that the hybrid mode AT/MS can not automatically re-open a session and the test set # 2 stays at Idle state. On test set #2, set the Cell Power ( F7 on Call Parms 1 of 3 ) back to -50 dBm to simulate that the 1xEV-DO signal is available again. Wait for a while, you should see that the AT/MS will re-acquire the 1xEV-DO system and open a session on the test set #2. The hybrid mode AT/MS remains registered on the test set #1 during above operations. To verify the hybrid mode AT/MS's behavior when it moves to a location where no CDMA signal is available but a good 1xEV-DO signal is available, and when it moved back where both signals were available: On test set #1, set the Cell Power ( F7 on Call Parms 1 of 3 ) to Off to simulate that the CDMA signal is unavailable. On test set #1, press the Clear MS Capabilities & Info ( F5 on Call Control 2 of 5 ) to clear the AT/MS's last registration data in the Mobile Station Information window. On test set #1, press Register Mobile ( F5 on Call Control 1 of 5 ) to force the hybrid mode AT/MS to make a registration. The Mobile Station Information window on test set #1 should remain empty because AT/MS can not register to the CDMA system (no CDMA signal is available). On test set #1, set the Cell Power ( F7 on Call Parms 1 of 3 ) back to -50 dBm to simulate that the CDMA signal is available again. The hybrid mode AT/MS will try to register on the test set #1 and the registration data will be shown on the Mobile Station Information window. The hybrid mode AT/MS remains keeping an open session on the test set #2 during above operations.
   5	To verify that the hybrid mode AT/MS can originate CDMA voice calls in dual-idle state, make an AT/MS originated voice call. The key steps include: On test set #1, set the service option for the radio configuration in which you would like to bring up the call to a voice service option. For example, SO3 is configured for the Radio Config (Fwd 3, Rvs 3) . Originate a voice call from the AT. For example, entering a phone number and pressing SEND on the AT. When the voice call is successfully established, Connected is shown on the test set #1. During the above operations, the test set #2 remains keeping an open session with the AT. Terminate the voice call from the AT/MS (for example, press the End on the AT) or from the test set by pressing the End Call ( F3 on Call Control 1 of 5) . When the voice call is successfully ended, test set #1 returns to Idle state. During the above operations, the test set #2 remains keeping an open session with the AT/MS. For details on how to make a CDMA voice call, see Related Topics .
   6	To verify that the hybrid mode AT/MS can originate CDMA voice calls while in CDMA idle and 1xEV-DO dormant state, perform the following procedure: Originate a packet data call from the AT/MS to the test set #2. See Related Topics for an example procedure which uses the AT/MS as wireless modem for a packet data connection. The example procedure varies depending upon your data applications. When a packet data connection is successfully established, Connected is shown on the test set #2. On test set #2, press the F2 ( Force Dormant ) on the Call Control 1 of 3 menu to make the AT/MS go dormant. You should see that the test set #2 displays Dormant state. Follow the procedure for test 5 to make an AT/MS originated voice call. Verify that the voice call is successfully connected on the test set #1. Any data transfer is not allowed while during a voice call. The test set #2 remains at Dormant state during voice call operations. Only when the voice call is ended, the data transfer can be re-started on the test set #2 if there is data to send.
   7	To verify that the hybrid mode AT/MS can originate CDMA voice calls while in CDMA idle and connected 1xEV-DO state, the procedure is similar to that of 6 except that: You do not need to make the AT/MS go dormant before originating a voice call. Originate a voice call from the AT/MS while in an active 1xEV-DO packet data connection. Verify that the current packet data connection will go dormant on the test set #2 when a voice call is connected on the test set #1. Any data transfer is not allowed while during a voice call. The test set #2 remains at Dormant state during a voice call. Only when the voice call is ended, the packet data connection will re-established on test set #2 if there's data to transmit (for example, start a ping session). For details on a Ping procedure, see Related Topics .
   8	To verify that the hybrid mode AT/MS can receive CDMA voice pages in dual-idle state, the procedure is similar to that of the test 5 except that the voice call is originated from the test set #1 instead of from the AT/MS: Press the Originate Call ( F3 on Call Control 1 of 5 ) to page the AT/MS from the test set #1. When the AT/MS answers the voice page, the voice call is connected and the test set #1 displays Connected state. The AT/MS remains keeping an open session with the test set #2 during the voice call operation.
   9	To verify that the hybrid mode AT/MS can receive CDMA voice pages while in 1xEV-DO dormant state, the procedure is similar to that of the test 6 except that the voice call is originated from the test set #1 instead of from the AT/MS: Press the Originate Call ( F3 on Call Control 1 of 5 ) to page the AT/MS from the test set #1. When the AT/MS answers the voice page, the test set #1 goes to Connected state. The AT/MS remains dormant on the test set #2 during a voice call. Any data transfer is not allowed while during a voice call. Only when the voice call is ended, the packet data connection can re-established on test set #2 if there's data to transmit.
   10	To verify that the hybrid mode AT/MS can receive CDMA voice pages in 1xEV-DO connected state, this procedure is similar to the procedure of the test 7 except that the voice call is originated from the test set #1 instead of from the AT: Press the Originate Call ( F3 on Call Control 1 of 5 ) to page the AT/MS from the test set #1. When the AT/MS answers the voice page, the test set #1 goes to Connected state and the data session on the test set #2 will enter into Dormant state. Only when the voice call is ended, the packet data connection can re-established on test set #2 if there's data to transmit.
   11	To verify that the hybrid mode AT/MS can originate an SMS while in dual-idle state, send a short message from the AT/MS to the test set #1. The key steps include: Create a short message on the AT/MS and then send to the test set #1. Verify that the short message is successfully received by the test set #1 and displayed on the Short Message Service Information screen. The AT/MS remains keeping an open session with the test set #2. For details on AT/MS originated SMS procedure, see Related Topics .
   12	To verify that the hybrid mode AT/MS can originate an SMS in 1xEV-DO dormant state, the procedure is similar to that of the test 6 except that an AT/MS originated SMS takes the place of AT/MS originated voice call. For details on AT/MS originated SMS procedure, see Related Topics . Verify that the short message is successfully received by the test set #1 and displayed on the Short Message Service Information screen. The AT/MS remains keeping a dormant data session on the test set #2.
   13	To verify that the hybrid mode AT/MS can originate SMS while in 1xEV-DO connected state, the procedure is similar to that of the test 7 except that an AT/MS originated SMS takes the place of AT/MS originated voice call. For details on AT/MS originated SMS procedure, see Related Topics . Verify that the short message is successfully received by the test set #1 and displayed on the Short Message Service Information screen. Because the SMS is typically short-lived and would only cause brief interruptions to the 1xEV-DO service, the packet data connection may continue to remain active on the test set #2 or go dormant if the time allowed to spend on SMS service expires. The data transfer (for example, a ping operation) can be re-started after the SMS service.
   14	To verify that the hybrid mode AT/MS can receive SMS while in dual-idle state, the procedure is similar to that of the test 11 except that an AT/MS terminated SMS takes the place of AT/MS originated SMS. For details on AT/MS terminated SMS procedure, see Related Topics . Verify that the short message is successfully received by the AT/MS and displayed on the AT/MS's screen. The AT/MS remains keeping an open session with the test set #2
   15	To verify that the hybrid mode AT/MS can receive SMS in 1xEV-DO dormant state, the procedure is similar to that of the test 12 except that an AT/MS terminated SMS takes the place of AT/MS originated SMS. For details on AT/MS terminated SMS procedure, see Related Topics . Verify that the short message is successfully received by the AT/MS and displayed on the AT/MS's screen. The AT/MS remains keeping a dormant data session on the test set #2.
   16	To verify that the hybrid mode AT/MS can receive SMS while in 1xEV-DO connected state, the procedure is similar to that of the test 13 except that an AT/MS terminated SMS takes the place of AT/MS originated SMS. For details on AT/MS terminated SMS procedure, see Related Topics . Verify that the short message is successfully received by the AT/MS and displayed on the AT/MS's screen. Because the SMS is typically short-lived and would only cause brief interruptions to the 1xEV-DO service, the packet data connection may continue to remain active on the test set #2 or go dormant if the time allowed to spend on SMS service expires. The data transfer (for example, a ping operation) can be re-started after the SMS service.
   17	To verify that the hybrid mode AT/MS can originate 1xEV-DO packet data calls while in dual-idle state, perform the following procedure: Originate a packet data connection from the AT/MS and verify that data can be transferred over test set #2. See Related Topics for an example procedure which uses AT/MS as a wireless modem for a packet data connection on 1xEV-DO system. The example procedure varies depending upon your data applications.
   18	To verify that the hybrid mode AT/MS can re-originate 1xEV-DO packet data call while in 1xEV-DO dormant state, perform the following procedure: When a packet data connection has established on test set #2 (if not, see the procedure of test 17 ), press the F2 ( Force Dormant ) on the Call Control 1 of 3 menu to make the AT/MS go dormant. The Dormant state should be shown on test set #2. Make an AT/MS originated packet data connection. For example, start a ping session from the PC which is using AT/MS as a modem to the test set's built-in HTTP server. The Connected state should be shown on the test set #2, which indicates a successful packet data connection established.
   19	To verify that the hybrid mode AT/MS can receive 1xEV-DO packet data pages while in dormant state on 1xEV-DO, the procedure is similar to that of the test 18 except that: Make an AT/MS terminated packet data connection. For example, start a ping session from the test set #2 to the AT/MS. For detailed ping procedure, see Related Topics . You should see that the test set #2 returns to Connected state, which indicates a successful packet data connection established.
   20	To verify that the hybrid mode AT/MS can originate a packet data call on CDMA when 1xEV-DO service is not available, perform the following procedure: On test set #2, press the Close Session ( F7 on Call Parms 1 of 3 ) to close the current open session, and then set the Cell Power ( F7 on Call Parms 1 of 3 ) to Off to simulate that thee 1xEV-DO system is unavailable. You should see that the hybrid mode AT/MS can not re-open a session and will go to power save mode on 1xEV-DO system. Set up a packet data call and verify that the packet data connection is established on test set #1. Note that you must set the service option to SO33 or SO33 (+ F-SCH) on test set #1 before the hybrid mode AT/MS can initiate a packet data connection on IS-2000 system. For an example procedure of the packet data connection on IS-2000 system, see Related Topics . The example procedure varies depending upon your data applications.
   21 - 28	The tests 21 - 28 require the external MOB-IP-SIM to provide MIP simulation. Refer to Prerequisite Setup to properly connect the external MOB-IP-SIM for these tests. To make the two test sets work with the MOB-IP-SIM for packet data handoff, the following key parameters should be properly set: On test set #1, a service option 33 should be properly configured for the selected radio configuration. Either SO33 or SO33 (+ F-SCH) is required for a packet data connection on IS-2000 system. On test set #2, the Default Packet Application should be configured as the session application. This is required for a packet data connection on IS-856 system. On both test sets, set the call parameters that are required for the hybrid mode AT/MS to acquire the IS-2000 and IS-856 systems successfully. For details, see General Procedure . set the LAN IP addresses to make the two test sets in the same subnet. On each test set, set its LAN IP Address , Subnet Mask , Default Gateway from the Instrument Setup menu (accessing by SYSTEM CONFIG -> F1 Instrument Setup ) that are assigned by your network administrator. set them to be able to work with the external MOB-IP-SIM. On each test set, set the External PDSN IP Address and External PDSN TCP Port matching your MOB-IP-SIM's configuration, and then turn the External PDSN State to on. This indicates the MOB-IP-SIM will be used to provide MIP functions. Refer to the MOB-IP-SIM technical manual to properly configure the MOB-IP-SIM (for example, IP address, subnet mask, etc.) for MIP operations.     NOTE To simplify the packet data handoff functional tests, the two test sets are set to share the same PDSN simulated by the MOB-IP-SIM. This guarantees that the same IP address is assigned to the hybrid mode AT/MS for seamless data session handoffs between the two networks. It further reduces any latency due to PPP re-sync on handoffs.
   21	To verify that the hybrid mode AT/MS is able to hand off an active data session from 1xEV-DO to CDMA system when 1xEV-DO system is unavailable, perform the following key steps: Verify that you've finished the setups as described in 21 - 28 and the hybrid mode AT/MS has successfully registered on the test set #1 and opened a session on the test set #2. Make a packet data connection on test set #2 through the external MOB-IP-SIM. See Related Topics for an example MIP based packet data connection on 1xEV-DO system. On test set #2, set the Cell Power ( F7 on Call Parms 1 of 3 ) to Off to simulate that the AT/MS moves out of the 1xEV-DO coverage. Verify that the hybrid mode AT/MS will hand off the packet data connection from test set #2 to test set #1. The data transfer (if you are downloading a large file) can be continued through the test set # 1 after a small delay. You should see that Connected state is shown on test set #1 and Idle state is shown on test set #2.
   22	To verify that the hybrid mode AT/MS is able to hand off a dormant data session from 1xEV-DO to CDMA system when 1xEV-DO system is unavailable, the procedure is similar to that of the test 21 except that: Let the hybrid mode AT/MS go dormant by pressing the F2 ( Force Dormant ) on the Call Control 1 of 3 menu on test set #2. Then turn the Cell Power on the test set #2 to off to simulate that the AT/MS moves out of the 1xEV-DO coverage. Start a data transfer (for example, start a ping session from the PC which is using the AT/MS as a modem). Verify that the data connection is made on test set #1. This indicates that the data session is handed off from 1xEV-DO to CDMA system.
   23	To verify that the hybrid mode AT/MS is able to hand off a dormant data session from CDMA to 1xEV-DO system when 1xEV-DO system is available again, perform the following key steps: Verify that you've finished the setups as described in 21 - 28 and the hybrid mode AT/MS has successfully registered on the test set #1 and opened a session on the test set #2. On test set #2, press the Close Session ( F7 on Call Parms 1 of 3 ) to close the current open session, and then set the Cell Power ( F7 on Call Parms 1 of 3 ) to Off to emulate that the AT/MS is at CDMA-only coverage. Make a packet data connection on test set #1 through the external MOB-IP-SIM. See Related Topics for an example MIP based packet data connection on IS-2000 system. Let the AT/MS go dormant by pressing the F2 ( Force Dormant ) on the Call Control 1 of 3 menu on the test set #1. On test set #2, set the Cell Power ( F7 on Call Parms 1 of 3 ) back to -50 dBm to simulate that the AT/MS moves back to the hybrid coverage (both systems are available). Verify that the hybrid mode AT/MS acquires the 1xEV-DO system and opens a session on test set #2. Start a ping session. Verify that the data connection is made on test set #2, which indicates the data session is handed off from CDMA to 1xEV-DO system. This is because the packet data service takes the precedence on 1xEV-DO system when both systems are available).
   24	To verify that the hybrid mode AT/MS is able to perform a 1xEV-DO to CDMA to 1xEV-DO data session hand off when the hybrid mode AT/MS moves from a hybrid coverage area to CDMA only coverage area and then back to a hybrid mode coverage area, you can refer to the procedure of the tests 21 and 23 . The key points to perform this test is: To simulate that the AT/MS moves from a 1xEV-DO coverage to CDMA only coverage area, set the Cell Power ( F7 on Call Parms 1 of 3 ) to Off on test set #2. To simulate that the AT/MS moves from the CDMA only coverage area back to a hybrid mode coverage, set the Cell Power ( F7 on Call Parms 1 of 3 ) back to -50 dBm on the test set #2.
   25 - 28	These tests are to verify the most fundamental MIP behavior of the hybrid mode AT/MS, such as making an MIP call, MIP to SIP fallback operations if an MIP registration fails. To perform these tests, you are required to set the AT/MS properly in the AT/MS MIP profile using a service programming tool. For details, see your AT/MS's technical manual. Also, you should properly set the MOB-IP-SIM to support these MIP tests. For details on the MOB-IP-SIM functionality and configurations, see the MOB-IP-SIM technical manual.
