This section is only applicable to the lab application or feature-licensed test application.

E-DCH Cell Indicator

This setting controls the E-DCH Cell Indicator in SIB5/SIB5bis. The intent of this parameter in SIB5/SIB5bis is to allow UEs to display a visual cue that HSUPA functionality is available in the current cell. According to 3GPP TS 25.331 s10.2.48.8.8, this indicator will not be used by the UE for any purposes other than for "display indication". Although release 6 added this indication to SIB5/SIB5bis as a mandatory parameter, it will only be comprehended by release 6 UEs (it will be in an opaque part of SIB5/SIB5bis to other UEs).

GPIB command: CALL[:CELL]:EDCHannel:CINDicator

This setting can only be changed when call status is Idle . If BCCH Update Page is set to Auto and you change this setting while your UE is camped to the test set, the test set performs a Broadcast Channel (BCCH) Update Procedure (SIB Contents) . If BCCH Update Page is set to Inhibit (the default value) and you change this setting while your UE is camped to the test set, you must force your UE to re-read the BCCH to observe the change (see BCCH Update Page for more details).

HSDPA Cell Indicator

This setting controls the HSDPA Cell Indicator in SIB5/SIB5bis. The intent of this parameter in SIB5/SIB5bis is to allow UEs to display a visual cue that HSDPA functionality is available in the current cell. According to 3GPP TS 25.331 s10.2.48.8.8, this indicator will not be used by the UE for any purposes other than for "display indication". Although release 6 added this indication to SIB5/SIB5bis as a mandatory parameter, it will only be comprehended by release 6 UEs (it will be in an opaque part of SIB5/SIB5bis to other UEs).

GPIB command: CALL:HSDPa:CINDicator

This setting can only be changed when call status is Idle . If BCCH Update Page is set to Auto and you change this setting while your UE is camped to the test set, the test set performs a Broadcast Channel (BCCH) Update Procedure (SIB Contents) . If BCCH Update Page is set to Inhibit (the default value) and you change this setting while your UE is camped to the test set, you must force your UE to re-read the BCCH to observe the change (see BCCH Update Page for more details).
