Compatibility with earlier software versions
account the absolute limits for offsets at or above 600kHz.
• E-GSM is supported. To use the E-GSM frequencies, you must set
parameter 47 CP System to the value 3 indicating E-GSM. The
following 173 ARFCNs are available for E-GSM: 975 - 1023 (880.2 -
889.8 MHz) and 0 - 124 (890.0 - 918.4 MHz).
To test the mobiles at the most extreme conditions, tests should be
executed at the lowest and the highest possible frequencies. For
more details, see page 161.
• Specification changes. The following test specifications are now
hardcoded in the software and no longer user editable. For more
details, see chapter 5 , Test Specifications.
Power vs Time mask: Specification numbers 21, 22, 23, 32, 33, 34
and 35 are now hardcoded.
Power accuracy: Specifications numbers 17, 18, 29 and 39 are now
hardcoded.
• ORFS due to modulation and ramping: Specifications 8, 9, 10,
11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 are now hardcoded.
• RX Usable Input Level Range RF Level: Parameter number 29,
used in TEST_10, has a new default value of -15 dBm (changed from
-19 dBm) to better adhere to the ETSI specifications. Note however
that -15 dBm is not suitable for use on the HP/Agilent 8922E or G.
For more details, see page 94 and page 152.
HP/Agilent 83212A users
The Agilent 83212D softwareprovides an improved interface to many of
the existing HP/Agilent 83212A features, and supports PCS1900 in
addition to GSM900 and DCS1800. Dual-Band Handover test and GSM
Phase II power levels are now also supported.
The 83212D is fully backwards compatible with the 83212A and all test
procedures developed for the 83212A also run on the 83212D (see
“Overview of changes contained in Agilent 83212D” on page 3 for more
details).
A menu system allows greater flexibility when accessing tests, while
the individual test routines remain as before.
NOTE Points to note while running the Agilent 83212D software:
• You must remove all previous versions of the software before loading
the Agilent 83212D software (see “Upgrading to a new software
revision” on page 9).
• Selecting
Run from the screen does not execute the
selected procedure, but runs the Agilent 83212D software. After
