Mobile-Originated SMS Procedure

General Procedure

:This section describes general procedures for Mobile-Originated SMS tests. You can send an SMS message from the mobile station to the test set via the R-ACH (reverse access channel) or the R-Traffic (reverse traffic) channel. The test set supports receiving an SMS message in the following three ways (see Receiving SMS Messages Sent from the Mobile Station for the differences).

• Method 1: Receiving an SMS message while in idle state (current service option is other than SO6/SO14).
• Method 2: Receiving an SMS message while in idle state (current service option is SO6 or SO14)
• Method 3: Receiving an SMS message while in a voice or data call.

Method 1: Receiving an SMS message while in idle state (current service option is other than SO6/SO14).

1. If you would like log the protocol messages exchanged between the test set and the mobile station, set up the Wireless Protocol Advisor (WPA) and start logging. See Logging SMS Messages .
2. Connect the mobile station to the test set.
3. Power on the mobile station and wait for the mobile station to perform a power up registration. The mobile station information should appear in the Mobile Reported Information window after a successful registration. Otherwise, perform the steps 1 through 9 in How Do I Set Up an IS-2000 Call? to have the mobile station registered.
   Make sure the current call status is Idle and the current service option is other than SO6 and SO14 (for example, SO3).
      

   NOTE

   The test set behaves differently with service option set to other than SO6 and SO14 and with service option set to SO6 or SO14 when the mobile station attempts to send a long message. See the following step 9 and the step 9 in the procedure of Method 2: Receiving an SMS message while in idle state (current service option is SO6 or SO14) for the differences.

4. Press the Call Setup key.
5. Press the More key on the lower left side of the test set two times until 3 of 3 of the Call Control menu is displayed.
6. Press the F5 ( Short Message Service ). The Short Message Service Information screen appears.
7. (Optional) Follow the procedure of Set up the Mobile-Originated SMS parameters , set up the Mobile-Originated SMS parameters as desired (see Setting Mobile-Originated SMS Parameters for parameters description). For example, to perform the CDG Stage 2 8.2.6 test, you need to set the SMS Support to Disabled .
8. (Optional) To clear the last received SMS message, press the F5 ( Clear SMS Info/Status ). See Clearing the SMS Info/Status .
9. From the mobile station, send an SMS message to any address. This step depends upon the mobile station implementation. If the MS supports automatically selecting a channel to transmit the SMS message based on the message length,
   • the MS will send the message on the R-ACH (reverse access channel) if the message length is allowed for the R-ACH. No call is established in this process. Or,
   • the MS will attempt to originate an SO6 or SO14 call and send the message on the reverse traffic channel if the message length is longer than what is allowed for the R-ACH. If it does so while the test set service option is other than SO6 or SO14, however, service negotiation between the test set and the MS will fail, the call will not be completed, and an error message will be generated. Use Method 2: Receiving an SMS message while in idle state (current service option is SO6 or SO14) to send a long message.
10. Observe the SMS Message Acknowledge Info window for indications that the test set has received the message. Observe the Mobile-Originated Message window for the received message contents. Observe the Mobile-Originated SMS Info window for the parameters included in the received message.
    
11. (Optional) Follow the procedure of Set up the Mobile-Originated SMS parameters , set up the Mobile-Originated SMS parameters as desired. For example, change the display format (ASCII or Hex) for the received message contents in the Mobile-Originated Message window or scroll the display for viewing long messages by changing the Row Index setting. See Setting Mobile-Originated SMS Parameters for parameter descriptions.
12. If you are capturing a log, stop logging.

Method 2: Receiving an SMS message while in idle state (current service option is SO6 or SO14)

1. If you would like log the protocol messages exchanged between the test set and the mobile station, set up the Wireless Protocol Advisor (WPA) and start logging. See Logging SMS Messages .
2. Connect the mobile station to the test set.
3. Power on the mobile station and wait for the mobile station to perform a power up registration. The mobile station information should appear in the Mobile Reported Information window after a successful registration. Otherwise, perform the steps 1 through 9 in How Do I Set Up an IS-2000 Call? to have the mobile station registered.
   Make sure the current service option is set to SO6 and SO14 (see step 7 in How Do I Set Up an IS-2000 Call? ).
   
4. Pressing the Call Setup key.
5. Press the More key on the lower left side of the test set two times until 3 of 3 of the Call Control menu is displayed.
6. Press the F5 ( Short Message Service ). The Short Message Service Information screen appears.
7. (Optional) Follow the procedure of Set up the Mobile-Originated SMS parameters , set up the Mobile-Originated SMS parameters as desired (see Setting Mobile-Originated SMS Parameters for parameters description). For example, to perform the CDG Stage 2 8.2.6 test, you need to set the SMS Support to Disabled .
8. (Optional) To clear the last received SMS message, see Clearing the SMS Info/Status .
9. From the mobile station, send an SMS message with any address to the test set. This step depends upon the mobile station implementation. If the MS supports automatically selecting a channel to transmit the SMS message based on the message length, the message is sent:
   • via the R-ACH (reverse access channel) if the message length is allowed by the R-ACH. No call is established in this process. Same as Method 1. Or,
   • via the R-Traffic (reverse traffic channel) if the message length is longer than what is allowed by the R-ACH. An SO6 or SO14 connection is established during the SMS sending. The call is then automatically disconnected when the message is sent.
      

   NOTE

   Standards specify that the shorter messages are sent on the R-ACH (Reverse Access Channel) and the longer messages are sent on the reverse Traffic Channel while in SO6 or SO14 service option.

10. Observe the SMS Message Acknowledge Info window for indications that the test set has received the message. Observe the Mobile-Originated Message window for the received message contents. Observe the Mobile-Originated SMS Info window for the parameters included in the received message.
11. (Optional) Follow the procedure of Set up the Mobile-Originated SMS parameters , set up the Mobile-Originated SMS parameters as desired. For example, change the display format (ASCII or Hex) for the received message contents in the Mobile-Originated Message window or scroll the display for viewing long messages by changing the Row Index setting.
