Setting Up for a Compressed Mode Signal
Setting the Compressed Mode Parameters
1. Press
Link Control

Compressed Mode Setup
.
Notice that the cursor is already showing in the compressed mode table editor. This means you can
immediately start editing parameters upon entering the compressed mode display. This is unlike the
uplink where another softkey needs to be pressed before the cursor is displayed in the table editor.
The compressed mode feature is accessible only when the DPCH (5) is highlighted. The
Compressed
Mode Setup
softkey is grayed-out when any other channel is selected.
2. Set slot eight of the frame as the starting slot for the first transmission gap.
a. Move the cursor to highlight the
TGSN
field.
b. Press
8
>
Enter
.
This sets the first compressed frame to have eight slots (0–7) of data with slot eight marking the
beginning of the first transmission gap.
3. Set the first transmission gap length which is expressed as a number of slots.
a. Move the cursor to highlight the
TGL1
field.
b. Press
14
>
Enter
.
Out of the 15 slots per frame, the standard specifies that seven of them can be used as discontinuous
transmission (DTX) slots. However the total gap length can be spread over two frames. The value 14
denotes 14 DTX slots, which spans 2 frames. This is called the double-frame method. When TGSN is
≤
8 and TGL is
≤
7, then the DTX slots are contained in one frame forming the single-frame method.
4. Set the second transmission gap length which is expressed as a number of slots.
a. Move the cursor to highlight the
TGL2
field.
b. Press
3
>
Enter
.
For the second transmission gap, the single frame method is used.
5. Set the spacing between the first and second transmission gaps expressed as a number of slots.
a. Move the cursor to highlight the
TGD
field.
b. Press
37
>
Enter
.
6. Set the duration of the first transmission gap pattern which is expressed as a number of frames.
a. Move the cursor to highlight the
TGPL1
field.
b. Press
6
>
Enter
.
