16 Chapter 3 Manual operation Configuring the system Configuring the system T o configure the HP/Agilent 8922 GSM HSCSD T est System for manual operation, proceed as follows. NO TE Y ou must configure the slave unit first as a frame reset is sent from the master unit to the slave unit as soon as the master unit is activated.
Chapter 3 17 Manual operation Configuring the system The slave unit’ s GPIB address is now automatically set to 15 (seen in the IO Config screen) which is the default Slave Address setting on the master unit. The slave unit’ s GPIB address must be the same as the Slave Address setting on the master unit and this helps to ensure this.
18 Chapter 3 Manual operation Establishing a call Establishing a call Y ou establish a call in the same way as for a speech call. Step 1. Ensure that the master timeslot is the timeslot currently being measured on the master unit. T o do this, navigate to the HSCSD control screen on the master unit and set the Measure field to Master .
Chapter 3 19 Manual operation Making measurements Making measurements Once a call is established, you can make measurements as before — see the HP/Agilent 8922 User’s Guide for more details.

26 Chapter 4 Screens Config screen 2. Slave address The Slave address field appears only if you have selected HSCSD Master as the instrument type and is the address used by the master unit to send GPIB commands to the slave unit. This is only used when the instrument is being operated manually .
Chapter 4 27 Screens HSCSD screen HSCSD screen Figure 4-2 HSCSD Control screen 1. Master downlink amplitude The Master downlink amplitude field shows the downlink amplitude of the master TCH. The amplitude of the slave TCH is calculated by 1 2 3 4 5 6 9, 12 10, 13 12 14 7 8 15 16 17 T ype floating point Units dBm only Limits (GSM900) -127.
28 Chapter 4 Screens HSCSD screen adding an offset (see page 28) to this value . NO TE The default is reset when you select the instrument type (see page 24). 2. Slave offset The Slave offset field determines the downlink amplitude of the master TCH by selecting the difference in amplitude between the master and slave amplitudes .
Chapter 4 29 Screens HSCSD screen The Master Channel field shows the ARFCN of the TCH. There is only one ARFCN , as HSCSD systems place all timeslots on the same ARFCN . On a slave unit, setting this field changes the ARFCN of the downlink TCH and analyzer appropriately .
30 Chapter 4 Screens HSCSD screen 4. Master timeslot The Master timeslot field indicates which timeslot is used for the master TCH. As the slave TCH is alw ays in the timeslot immediately after the master , changing this field sets the slave timeslot to the value “master timeslot plus one”.
Chapter 4 31 Screens HSCSD screen 6. Call Type The Call Type field determines which type of HSCSD call the HP/ Agilent 8922 establishes the next time a call is initiated. If you select 2x1 , the HP/Agilent 8922 tries to establish a call with 2 downlinks and 1 uplink when a call is next initiated.
32 Chapter 4 Screens HSCSD screen 7. Data rate The Data rate field determines the data rate associated with the HSCSD 2x2 call. Selecting '9.6' sets up a call at 9.6 kbit/s per timeslot (19.2 kbit/s) and selecting '14.4' sets up a call at 14.
Chapter 4 33 Screens HSCSD screen 9. Master Tx level On a master unit, the Master Tx level field requests a new transmit level for the uplink master TCH.
34 Chapter 4 Screens HSCSD screen 10. Master input level The Master Input level field sets the expected power of the master uplink TCH. Y ou can set the level indirectly by changing the master Tx level (see page 33) or you can change it directly .
Chapter 4 35 Screens HSCSD screen 11. Master mode The Master mode field either makes or breaks the link between the Master Tx level (see page 33) and the Master input level (see page 34). NO TE Note that in standard mode, setting either of these other values change the Master mode field.
36 Chapter 4 Screens HSCSD screen On both units , if the instrument is operating in standard mode, setting this field changes the slave control field (see page 37) to MS Tx Lev , then calculates and sets the slave expected input level (see page 36).
Chapter 4 37 Screens HSCSD screen control type is MS Tx Lev , then the instrument returns an error ( Can’t change setting while MS TX Lev mode is selected. ) and does not make the setting . NO TE The default is reset when you select the instrument type (see page 24).
38 Chapter 4 Screens HSCSD screen 15. Mobile reports The Mobile Reports are the same uplink SACCH reports as appear on the Cell Status screen. The reports are taken from whichever uplink timeslot is currently being analysed. Y ou make this choice using the Measurement timeslot field (see page 32).
Chapter 4 39 Screens Fast BER Screen F ast BER Screen One extra field, labelled Loopback , appears in the F ast Bit Error screen, when the HP/Agilent 8922 is in 2x1 mode. Figure 4-3 F ast BER screen The Loopback field is a toggle field and allows the choice of either master or slave .
40 Chapter 4 Screens Fast BER Screen Loopback The Loopback field selects which downlink slot is looped back on the master uplink. T ype toggle Choices “Master”, “Slav e” Default “Master”.

Chapter 5 57 Remote operation HSCSD Subsystem GPIB Commands HSCSd:SLA V e:ST A T us:TCH:TSLot? Description This query returns the absolute timeslot. F or example, if the master’s timeslot is 3, because the sla ve’s timeslot offset is fixed at +1, HSCSd:SLAVe:STATus:TCH:TSLot? would return 4.
58 Chapter 5 Remote operation HSCSD Subsystem GPIB Commands HSCSd:SLA V e:DOWNlink:AMPLitude:OFFSet Description This sets the amplitude offset (in dBs) of the slave timeslot, using the master’s downlink amplitude as a reference . The resulting amplitude must lie within the normal downlink power range.
Chapter 5 59 Remote operation HSCSD Subsystem GPIB Commands HSCSd:SLA V e:TCH:TLEV el Description During a call, this sets the Tx level of the slave TCH. When the system is idle (that is , not on a call), this sets the Tx level to be used when the next call is connected and the slave TCH is established.
