Settable Fields in Overhead Messages

Last updated: November 14, 2006

This section is only applicable to the lab application.

The test set communicates with a mobile station under test through messages formatted according to IS-95 or IS-2000 standards.

The overhead messages listed below have message fields which are directly or indirectly settable by the user. Overhead message fields not listed below are either specified by the standard or have been fixed to a suitable default value by the test set.

IMPORTANT

The General Page Message is included with Overhead Messages if it does not contain Page Records. If the General Page Message contains Page Records it is included with the Mobile Station Directed messages.
