Parameters Default Value Range
Network Colour Code 0 0 to 7
Base Station Colour Code 0 0 to 7
Note: (1) Network Colour Code (NCC)
This code enables a mobile to determine the network to which the base station
belongs. Normally 0 to 3 are used for the 'first' network operator, and 4 to 7 for the
'second' network operator within the country.
(2) Base Station Colour Code (BCC)
This defines the colour code of the base station so that a mobile can distinguish
neighbouring base stations.

Note: (1) Access Control Class
Each mobile is assigned to one of 16 access groups. One or more of
these groups can be denied access to the base station.
The 16 access groups are represented by a 16-digit binary number;
access group 0 is LSB of this number, and access group 15 is MSB.
f there is a '1' at a particular position in this binary number, then
access will be denied to the corresponding group. Where there is a
'0', the relevant group is allowed to access the base station.
The number in the Access Control Class field is the decimal
equivalent of the 16-digit binary number. For example, if groups 1, 9,
12 and 14 are to be denied access to the base station, then the
number in the field is:
20994 ( 2
1
+ 2
9
+ 2
12
+ 2
14
= 2 + 512 + 4096 + 16384 )
f no groups are to be denied access, then the Access Control Class
number is 0.
(2) Mobile Country Code (MCC)
This is a code number that represents the country of origin of a base
station or network, and it is sent by the base station to the mobile to
convey that information. The codes are as follows:
Country Code Country Code
2ustria 2"2 Ital* 222
Belium 20# )uxem&ur 270
Canada "02 Malta 278
C*prus 280 Mona1o 212

>reenland 2<0 Turke* 28!
3unar* 21# @S2 "10
I1eland 274 Auosla0ia 220
Ireland 272 T%ST SIM 001
Note that if the Country Code does not match the first three digits of
the SM MS, it is possible that the mobile will be unable to respond to
a base station initiated call.
(3) Number of MNC Digits
This parameter is only available when operating in the PCS 1900
band. This is the number of digits used to specify the Mobile Network
Code.
(4) Mobile Network Code (MNC)
This is the code of the network to which the base station belongs.
The range of this is 0 to 99 if E-GSM or DCS 1800 are being used,
and if 2 MNC digits have been selected when PCS 1900 is being
used. When using PCS 1900 with 3 MNC digits selected, this range
changes to 0 to 999.
(5) Location Area Code (LAC)
This is an identity number given to the site of a base station. This
number is only issued once in a network. n this way, a base station is
uniquely identified by the values MCC, MNC, and LAC.
The value '0' is used in this field to show that there is no valid local
area identification (LA).

Min Mo&ile Rx Sinal )e0el 0 0 to #" ,Note "-
Note: (1) Cell Reselect Hysteresis
This is the threshold level for a mobile to select a new base station.
When a mobile tries to signal again, starting from its idle mode, it will
only call another base station if the reception from it is better (by this
threshold level) than from the previous one.
(2) Max Mobile Tx Power Level (MS-TxPWR-MAX-CCH)
This is the maximum permitted transmitting power of the mobile when
it first gains access to the system (on the CCH). The power value
entered is the GSM mobile control level defined in GSM
recommendation 05-05, as described under the heading E-GSM /
DCS / PCS VARATONS - Mobile Power Levels
(3) Min Mobile Rx Signal Level (RXLEV-ACCESS-MN)
The signal from the base station must arrive at the mobile with a
certain minimum power level for the mobile to register with the cell.
The minimum level, starting from -110 dBm, is increased by this value
set. For example, a minimum receive level of -63 dBm is set by
entering '47' in this field.

Note: (1) Hopping Sequence Number (HSN)
This value is used in the hopping algorithm; it determines the
sequence in which the frequencies in the Mobile Allocation Table are
used in the hopping sequence.
(2) Mobile Allocation ndex Offset (MAO)
The number in this field defines the channel on which frequency
hopping commences -- as an offset into the Mobile Allocation Table.
(3) Mobile Allocation Table (MAT)
This table defines the frequency channels used for frequency hopping.
n this table, a maximum of 64 frequency channels for frequency
hopping can be set. Each number set corresponds to that entry in the
Cell Allocation Table (CAT), counting from the first ARFCN in the
CAT. For example, setting number 21 selects the 21st ARFCN in the
CAT.

Note: (1) Paging Multiframes
Paging Multiframes indicates the number of 51 TDMA frame multiframes
between transmission of paging messages to mobile stations of the same
paging group.
(2) Paging Mode
Paging Mode allows the mobile station to know in which part of the
PAGCH their own paging messages will be located.
0 = Normal paging
1 = Extended paging
2 = Paging reorganization
3 = Same as before
(3) Discontinuous Transmission
When Discontinuous Transmission is enabled, transmission of the radio
signal is inhibited when not required, thus giving the mobile station more
efficient use of its battery.
0 = MS may use DTX
1 = MS shall use DTX
2 = MS shall not use DTX
(4) Periodic Update nterval Time
When the Periodic Update nterval Time expires, a mobile station in idle
mode must perform a Periodic Location Update.

Notes:
(1) DTX
The code in this field specifies whether a mobile station may, or should, or
may not, use discontinuous transmission.
Note: For the purposes of a Battery Life Test sequence, the code can be
changed in the test sequence parameters, or by editing the main
Parameter File.
When the Battery Life test is complete, the DTX parameter should be
restored to its default value (as above).
The 6103 does not fully support DTX operation. Selecting DTX may
cause abnormal operation.
(2) MS Attach/Detach Allowed (ATT)
This parameter determines whether MS attach and detach procedures are to
be used at power ON and OFF.
Setting this bit guarantees that the mobile will register at power-on, even if the
Location Area is not changed.
(3) BS-AG-BLKS-RES
This parameter defines the number of blocks on each common control
channel (CCCH) that are reserved for access grant messages.
(4) BS-PA-MFRMS
This parameter determines at what intervals (in multiframes of 51 frames) the
paging call from the base station is repeated.
Note: For the purposes of a Battery Life Test sequence, the parameter can
be changed in the test sequence parameters, or by editing the main
Parameter File.
When the Battery Life test is complete, the BS-PA-MFRMS parameter
should be restored to its default value (as above).
(5) CCCH-CONF
A CCCH can be assigned several physical channels, in part combined with
SDCCHs (stand-alone dedicated control channels).
The value 001 specifies 1 physical channel for CCCH, with combined
SDCCHs.
(6) BA_ND
This field contains the BCCH allocation sequence number indication. The
range is 0 to 1; it is sent in the Neighbour Cells Description in SYS NFO 3 on
the BCCH and SYS NFO 5 on the SACCH; the value is fixed at 0.
(7) PWRC
This is the Power Control ndication, which specifies whether a mobile (when
monitoring) is to measure the power on the BCCH carrier and include it in the
measurement report. t is sent in the Cell Options information element in SYS
NFO 3 on the BCCH and SYS NFO 6 on the SACCH. The value is fixed at
0, indicating that the mobile does not measure the power on the BCCH (a 1
would indicate that power is measured).
(8) Radio Link Timeout
Radio Link Timeout (T100 in the MS) is sent in the Cell Options information
element. The mobile uses this value to determine whether there is still good
radio contact with the base station. The S counter in the mobile is loaded with
this value, fixed at 8 SACCH frames, and the value is
-- decremented by 1 if an SACCH message could not be decoded, or
-- incremented by 2 if an SACCH message message was properly
received.
f the value drops to 0, the mobile communicates that it has lost the base
station.
(9) Multiband Reporting nformation
This value determines the minimum number of available cells to be reported
on each band by a multiband mobile.

Note: f the value of SRES returned by the mobile is incorrect, a warning message is
generated but the Test Set continues with the test. However, tests of the
encryption function of the mobile will not be possible.
Pass/Fail Criteria
The test is reported as a PASS if the call is correctly set up.
A test failure can occur for the following reasons:
(1) Any Layer 3 responses from the mobile are incorrect.
(2) The mobile does not respond to paging commands within T3113.
Note: The Test Set, like a base station, will page once and re-try up to five times.
(3) The mobile does not respond to the MMEDATE ASSGNMENT message (sent
after the Test Set has received a valid CHANNEL REQUEST message from the
mobile), on the assigned dedicated channel, within T3101.
(4) Timer T3260 expires waiting for the AUTHENTCATON RESPONSE from the
mobile.
(5) Timer T100 (Radio Link Timeout) expires due to the mobile failing to activate
ciphering if instructed to do so by the Test Set.
(6) The SETUP message from the Test Set is not acknowledged with CALL
CONFRMED within T303.
(7) The mobile does not respond within T3107 on the new channel when the TCH is
established.
(8) The operator does not answer the ringing tone before T301 expires.
(9) When an MS is specified and a Mobile nitiated Call Setup is performed, and the
reported MS differs from the expected MS.
Note: (1) For Txxx Timer values, see the heading TMERS.
(2) No timeout is applied to reception of the RACH from the mobile; therefore,
if the mobile's RACH cannot be decoded for any reason, the test will not
fail.

Purpose of Test
To test the mobile's ability to switch channel assignments dynamically during a call.
Note: This test is a test of intra-cell handover, i.e. a handover where the traffic channel
is being reassigned to another logical channel in the same cell, or another
synchronised cell (see GSM Rec. 4.08 for more details).

Note: (1) The default target ARFCN is 562 when E/R-GSM band is currently
selected, and 62 when DCS 1800 band is currently selected. (See
heading E/R-GSM / DCS / PCS VARATONS / Frequency
Parameters).
(2) The default control channel ARFCN of Neighbour Cell is 520 when the
E/R-GSM band is currently selected, and 90 when DCS 1800 band is
currently selected (see Note 1).
(3) The Mobile Power Level is automatically changed for the Target
ARFCN by the Test Set to achieve the equivalent dBm value. See
heading E/R-GSM / DCS / PCS VARATONS / Mobile Power Levels.
(4) f a non-ciphered call is established before the test is initiated and the
chosen cyphering state is 'on', the call will be terminated and re-
established with ciphering. The same algorithm will be used on both
the original and the target TCH channels.
(5) The accuracy of the TCH level is unspecified for the duration of this
test.

Note: Normally a mobile obtains the necessary information to allow synchronisation to
the appropriate neighbour cell before an inter-cell handover procedure is initiated.
To allow the mobile under test to do this a simulated neighbour control channel is
transmitted during the 'search' or idle frames in the traffic multiframe before the
HANDOVER command is sent.

T'e .ollowin notes pro0ide additional in.ormation5
(1) The calculations required for each burst take approximately 0.2 s (excluding call
setup time).
(2) The position of the training sequence within the burst is determined by an algorithm
which searches over a range of 3 bits relative to the position expected.
(3) The Test Set always demodulates the data from the received burst, and no check is
made to ensure that the received data matches that transmitted (however, the
content of the training sequence is checked, since this is used to perform the
correlation).
(4) Normally, a new burst is captured as soon as the previous burst has been analysed
(i.e. consecutive bursts cannot be measured).
(5) All TCH bursts from the mobile are analysed. SACCHs are not included in the
analysis, but FACCH bursts are included. The Air nterface Burst Number parameter
is used to specify which burst of a repeating pattern of 4 transmitted bursts is
measured.
(6) The power profile is checked only on the final burst to be measured; no averaging is
performed.
(7) The Modulation Spectrum measurement is averaged over the selected number of
bursts.

the memory card into one of the slots on the Test Set front panel. When the
mobile under test registers the Test Set will select the N+"UTT+N.SE7 file on
memory card instead of the internal NOBUTTON sequence test.

Paging Multiframes : Paging Multiframes indicates the number of 51
TDMA frame multiframes between transmission
of paging messages to mobile stations of the
same paging group.
Paging Mode : Paging Mode allows the mobile station to know in
which part of the PAGCH their own paging
messages will be located.
0 = Normal paging
1 = Extended paging
2 = Paging reorganization
3 = Same as before
Discontinuous Transmission : When Discontinuous Transmission is enabled,
transmission of the radio signal is inhibited when
not required, thus giving the mobile station more
efficient use of its battery.
0 = MS may use DTX
1 = MS shall use DTX
2 = MS shall not use DTX
Periodic Update nterval Time : When the Periodic Update nterval Time expires,
a mobile station in idle mode must perform a
