Base Station Configuration
Before the Test Software can control the Base Station, it must be able to notify the MSC
as to the cell site and BBA to test. The Test Software also requires a value as to the
amount of power to be measured. You must supply this information on the Base Station
Configuration Menu screen.
Configure the Base Station as follows:
Step 1. Select the Base Station Configuration field. The Test Software will display the Base
Station Configuration Menu (see Figure 2-11).
Figure 2-11 Specifying Base Station Configuration Information
Step 2. Select the Base Station Type field and select the type of Base Station to be tested from
the drop-down Choices: list: PCS Minicell or Autoplex Series II.
Step 3. Select the ECP Number field, rotate the knob to the number for the ECP that controls the
cell site to be tested, and press the knob to select it.
Step 4. Select the Cell Site Number field, rotate the knob to the number for the cell site to be
tested, and press the knob to select it.
Step 5. Select the BBA Under Test field, rotate the knob to the number of the BBA to be tested,
and press the knob to select it.
Step 6. Select the BCR Attenuation Level field, turn the knob to the value that is to be used to
control Base Station power by the MSC when measuring transmitted power, and press
the knob to select it. This value will vary according to the Base Station type (model) and
geographic location (see “Transmit Power Calibration Test (Autoplex Series II)” on page
