Appendix E: Remote Control Commands
Handoffs
E–52
When testing a dual mode mobile station, the tester can instruct the mobile
station to handoff the call from the digital mode to the analog mode or, in some
cases, vise versa. This simulates the handoff of a call from a CDMA or TDMA
(Option B84) base station to an analog base station or an analog base station to a
TDMA base station. Option B82 (Analog mode) must be installed to support any
handoff. Option B84 (TDMA mode) must be installed to support the TDMA
digital/analog handoffs.
You must first select which protocol you want to hand off to. You accomplish
this with the command CONFigure:HANDoff:COMBination <network>,
<system>, <standard> (query, CONFigure:HANDoff:COMBination?).
Table E–2 lists the supported handoff combinations of networks, systems, and
standards.
The command PROCedure:CTMStation:HANDoff performs the handoff.

The following subsections describe setting up the base stations you intend to
make the handoff to.
