Setting Cell Parameters

IS-2000/IS-95 Cell Parameters

The following cell parameters are displayed under the Cell Parameters menu when the following two conditions exist:

1. The Operating Mode field is set to Active Cell (see Active Cell Operating Mode ), IS-2000 Test, or Cell Off, and
2. If Active Cell is the current operation mode, IS-2000 or IS-95 is selected in the System Type field.

• System ID (SID): A number uniquely identifying a wireless system. See also CALL[:CELL]:SIDentity )
• Network ID (NID): A number uniquely identifying a network within a wireless system. See also CALL[:CELL]:NIDentity .
• Escape Mode: See CALL[:CELL]:ESCape[:MODE] .
• Cell MCC: A part of the International mobile station identification (IMSI) identifying the home country. See also CALL[:CELL]:MCCode<[:SELected]|:TA2000> .
• Cell MNC: A part of the IMSI identifying the home network within the home country. See also CALL[:CELL]:MNCode .
• Max Slot Cycle Index. (see CALL:PAGing:SCINdex[:MAXimum] )
• RL Traffic to Pilot Gain (RLGAIN_TRAFFIC_PILOT): See CALL[:CELL]:RLGain[:TTPilot] . This setting is only for IS-2000 system RC3 and above. It is used to range the test set's receiver (see Equation C ).
• Paging Data Rate ( CALL:PAGing:DRATe ): This parameter is shown in this menu when IS-95 system is selected. To set this parameter in IS-2000 system, see Setting Control Channel Parameters .
• Base ID ( CALL:BIDentity ): It represents the identification number of the base station. It can be changed at any time and sent to the mobile station in the next overhead messages ( System Parameters Message , or ANSI-41 System Parameters Message , or MC-RR Parameters Message ). The mobile station may use this parameter together with other overhead message parameters (such as SID, NID, etc.) to identify the presence of a particular User Zone.
