Step 4: Make a connection

Select an example

 The mobile station (MS) must be connected with the test set in order to perform measurements. The origination of this connection can either be the mobile station or the test set. Use one of two sections of code below to fit your testing need.

 Test Set initiated connection

 The following code queries the test set for the connection status and then stops the program if a connection is not established. A hard handoff is also performed.

 
513  !*****************************************************************
514  ! CONNECT CALL
515  !*****************************************************************
516 !
526   !***Page the mobile station***
527   !
528       DISP "Paging mobile station..."
529       OUTPUT Testset;"CALL:ORIG"
530       OUTPUT Testset;"CALL:CONN:STAT?"
531       ENTER Testset;Call_connected
532       IF NOT Call_connected THEN
540           PRINT "Call attempt failed"
550           STOP
560       ELSE
570           PRINT "Call connected"
571           PRINT
580       END IF
581       Tot_timer=TIMEDATE

 Mobile Station initiated connection

 In this case, there is no need to use a timeout or arm the state change detector. These two functions occur automatically when attempting a test set originated call.

 
1 PRINT "Originate a call on the mobile now."
10 OUTPUT Testset;"CALL:CONN:ARM" !Arm the Call-State-Change Detector
20 OUTPUT Testset;"CALL:CONN?" !Query state
30 ENTER Testset;Callstate
40 IF NOT Callstae THEN
41     PRINT "Call Attempt Failed"
42     STOP
43 ELSE
44     PRINT "Call Connected"
45 END IF
50 !
