CTS55 Description of the Menus
1094.0006.55 9.37 E-7
9.9.6 Config Network
(GSM900/1800) (GSM850/1900)
In this menu the main parameters of the network simulated by the CTS are defined.
These are:
•
The Mobile Country Code (MCC) . This parameter defines the country in which the simulated network
would be located.
•
The Mobile Network Code (MNC) . This parameter is used to distinguish network providers in the
same country.
Note: For GSM900 and GSM1800 this is only a 2 digit number. Whereas GSM1900 and GSM850
Mobile Stations will either support 2 or 3 digits.
•
The Network Colour Code (NCC) . This parameter is used to distinguish between cells of a network.
•
Location Area Code (LAC) . This parameter defines the location area in which the cell is located.
It is sometimes important that these parameters have the same values as those stored on the SIM card
of the mobile to be tested. The reason for this is that some network providers don’t allow the mobile to
synchronise to networks of other network providers. This problem does not arise when using a test SIM
such as R & S CRT-Z2.
