This section is only applicable to the lab application.
Slotted Mode determines when the access terminal (AT) transitions out of the Sleep State in order to monitor the Control Channel (The AT in sleep state will shut down some processing resources to reduce power consumption).
When the
Idle State Subtype
is
Enhanced (Subtype 1)
, and
Small Slot Cycle Allowed
is set to
On
, the access terminal and access network can propose a value of
Slot Cycle 1
that is less than 256 slots. Slot Cycle is part of the SlottedMode Attribute of the Enhanced Idle State Protocol.
The Slotted Mode attribute is a "Configurable Attribute" for Enhanced Idle State Protocol as defined in the C.S0024 standard. It is configured during the session negotiation and containing the following Attribute values with such restrictions: Slot Cycle 1 <= Slot Cycle 2 <= Slot Cycle 3 and Wake Count 1 <= Wake Count 2.
Slot Cycle 1 is not allowed to be set greater than Slot Cycle 2.
GPIB Command: CALL:CCHannel:SCYCle[1]
Slot Cycle 2 is not allowed to be set greater than EIDP Slot Cycle 3 or less than EIDP Slot Cycle 1.
GPIB Command: CALL:CCHannel:SCYCle2
Slot Cycle 3 is not allowed to be set less than EIDP Slot Cycle 2.
GPIB Command: CALL:CCHannel:SCYCle3
Wake Count 1 is not allowed to be set greater than EIDP Wake Count 2.
GPIB Command: CALL:CCHannel:WCOunt[1]
Wake Count 2 is not allowed to be set less than EIDP Wake Count 1.
GPIB Command: CALL:CCHannel:WCOunt2
When the session is open, the Slotted Mode attribute being used for the session is displayed on the Access Network Information screen in the Configurable Attribute In Use window.
