Companion Diagnostic Software for PCI User Guide
Companion Diagnostic Software (CDS) for Personal
Communications Interface (PCI) allows you to examine the
operating characteristics of a wireless system while the system is
operating at a customer site. The CDS application runs on a personal
computer (PC). You can use it locally at the customer site or
remotely from another location. When you use remote access, the
PC interfaces with the wireless system indirectly via modems. When
you use local access, the PC interfaces with the wireless system
directly without modems. CDS performs automatic system
configuration and automatic system diagnosis. It also presents on
your PC screen data derived from wireless operation. The displays
contain various levels of detail and are in the form of bar charts and
statistical tables, with accompanying commentaries.
The two radio transceivers in a Base Station operate in an allocated
frequency spectrum. Base Stations are grouped into cells, a cell may
have two or more radios in it depending upon the number of Base
Stations making up the cell. These cells overlap each other to ensure
continuous radio coverage throughout the desired coverage area. In
each cell, at any one time, one radio may be used to provide a
common signalling channel (CSC) which locates and tracks portable
movements. Companion Diagnostic Software provides access to
information on the operating characteristics of both regular traffic
and CSC radios.
The CDS package includes the following:
• high density 3 1/2" CDS diskette
