EDACS REPEATERS
2-14
Call from Testset
This test routine is used to simulate the placement of a call from the Service Monitor to the
repeater under test using the identity in the MOBILE
PARAMETERS MENU.
Upon initialization, the Service Monitor must be on the control channel.
If the
USE ACCESSORY PORT
parameter is set to
ON
, the accessory port is set at this point in the
test. Note that the accessory port is not cleared at the end of this test.
If any of the responses are incorrect, then the message
*FAIL* UNEXPECTED MESSAGE
is
displayed. Other messages are:
*FAIL* NOT ON CONTROL CHANNEL
Repeater is not on control channel (i.e. still in
conversation.
*FAIL* ABORTED BY USER
User halted program before test was complete.
*FAIL* CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT
No working channel signaling detected.
PASSED WORKING CHANNEL
Clear From Testset
The Service Monitor clears down from the current working channel and returns to the previous
control channel.
If the
USE ACCESSORY PORT
parameter is set to
ON
, the accessory port is cleared at this point
in the test.
Other messages are:
*FAIL* NOT ON WORKING CHANNEL
The previous call placement failed.
*FAIL* ABORTED BY USER
User halted program before test was complete.
PASSED CLEARED DOWN
HS data deviation
The HS data deviation test measures the frequency deviation of the control channel signal from the
repeater. This high speed data signal is transmitted continuously.
The only failure message for this test is:
*FAIL* ABORTED BY USER
User halted test before completion.
Data performance
The data performance test checks the accuracy of the repeater’s data reception under low signal
conditions.
The test sequence is as follows. Upon initialization, the test title is displayed and the Service
Monitor checks the control channel. If not on the control channel, the error message *FAIL* NO
CONTROL CHANNEL is displayed.
The Service Monitor sets the RF generator level, sends a login request to the repeater and waits for
an acknowledge message. If no response is received after this has been repeated ten times, the test
is aborted and the message *FAIL* NO RESPONSE is displayed. Otherwise the test is repeated
another 90 times.
If, after 100 tests, the percentage pass is above the specified limit, the message PASSED is
displayed, together with the % bit error rate. The message *FAIL* xx% means that the percentage
pass is below the specified limit.
Another possible failure message is:
*FAIL* ABORTED BY USER
User halted program before test was complete.
