Testing without MSC Control
Chapter 4, “Performing Tests,” on page 51, lists the steps for fully automated testing,
using the Test Software to control the Base Station. The steps of that chapter use a PC to
control the Base Station via the MSC.
If you are using a Test Set setup with no PC and connection to the MSC, the following
considerations apply:
• Make certain to set the Send Control Commands to MSC field on the Base Station
Configuration Menu to NO. The Test Set will not send control commands to the MSC
using the PC.
• The connection diagrams at the start of each test sequence will include prompts to
apply or remove power for the BBA being tested. You must control the transmitter
signal (on and off) manually at the site.
NOTE In addition to turning the transmitter signal on and off, make certain that the proper
configuration of the BBA is done for each test. For example, when running the Pilot
Only Test, make certain that the pilot channel is the only active channel for that BBA
(no paging or traffic channels should be active). For Code Domain tests, you should
probably enable traffic, paging, and sync channels in most cases.
• You will probably require an assistant at the MSC to control the Base Station and
remove the radios from service.
