Config Handover Details Menu – GSM900/GSM1900 Handover Option

The Dual Band Option enables the user to test Dual-Band MS types. This enables the test time cycle to
be improved due to the reduction in signalling time required for Location Update and to establish a call is
only required once. The user can establish a call on one network, and “handover” to the other supported
network to complete testing.

There are 3 softkeys which have influence to the behaviour of the handover procedure:
