Step 2: Configure Test Set and Mobile Station Parameters

The following information provides additional details on Step 2 of the Programming Flowchart. This
information is applicable to all test applications.

Description

In this step you configure the parameters that allow a connection to be made between the test set and mobile
station. This mainly involves setting up channels and power levels.

Set Up Channels
Setting up channels involves specifying the channel associated with every band and channel type (for
example, analog or digital), and then setting the active band and channel type.
• Specify Channel Numbers
All of the test set's test applications can test in more than one frequency band (for example, US Cellular, US
PCS, or Korean PCS). To produce the most efficient code, you should configure the channel information for
each band in advance. Then, to move to a new band during testing, you only need to send the command to
change bands. You do not need to also specify the channel of the new band. This reduces test time.
To set up the channel number for the various bands, use one of the following commands (depending upon
which test application you are using):
Commands to Set the Channel for a Band
Command
CALL:<channel mnemonic>:<band mnemonic>
<num value>
CALL:SET:<channel type mnemonic>:<band
mnemonic> <num value>
CALL:CHAN:<channel type mnemonic>:<band
mnemonic> <num value>
