From the example settings, it is clear that it is possible to set the parameters such that a
repeating hand-in / handback situation occurs.
For operation, the sum of the minimum improvement levels should be at least 7 dB and
the handback load shed level should be set at least 10 dB stronger than the handin load
shed level.
6.8 Complete list of DTC related parameters
Following is a complete list of the parameters that pertain to DTC operation. Some
have been discussed above but for completeness, all are included in this list.
Parameters on the “SET” menu that are not in this list are covered in the basic EAC
2000 Manual or the EAC 2000 DCCH Option Manual.
STATUS (RF Boards Menu)
Choices for Status of positions are:
DISABLED
ENABLED TDMA DCCH
ENABLED TDMA DTC
This parameter setting controls the type of boards and PA’s the system will expect to
detect in the slots and how the boards and PAs will be used, if the proper type is
detected.
KEY FORWARD PA (Power Amplifiers Menu)
If a PA with associated board STATUS set to ENABLED TDMA DCCH, DTC or
SCAN is keyed, the system prompts for the desired PA power output setting. This is
how the IS136 Power Amplifier output power levels are set (there are no pots).
FORWARD PA POWER LOW ALARM POINT - DCCH (Power Amplifiers
Menu)
FORWARD PA POWER LOW ALARM POINT - DTC (Power Amplifiers Menu)
Possible settings are either ENABLED (the default) or Disabled. If ENABLED, the
EAC looks for PA output power below the desired setting by 3 dB or more. An alarm is
logged if this occurs for 3 seconds.
