REVERSE PA POWER SET – DTC (Power Amplifiers Menu)
These settings set the reverse power level that will be transmitted; the default settings
of +20 dBm work in most installations. About the only time changes are needed is if the
path to the donor is very good. In this case, the signal level from the EAC at the donor
may be so high that it triggers power control actions in calls that are being handled by
the EAC. These power control messages are not passed on to the subscriber unit,
however.
REVERSE PA POWER LOW ALARM POINT – DCCH (Power Amplifiers
Menu)
and
REVERSE PA POWER LOW ALARM POINT – DTC (Power Amplifiers Menu)
These parameters may be set to either “ENABLED” (the default) or “DISABLED”. If
“ENABLED”, the system will monitor the reverse power and log alarms if the power
falls below the desired setting by 3 dB.
The “DISABLED” setting is useful to temporarily disable the alarm checking and
allow a suspicious board to process a call (or a DCCH transaction), even if it
otherwise logs alarms.
DONOR DCCH CHANNEL (Control Channels Menu)
This sets the channel number of the DCCH in the Donor cell. See the DCCH Option
Manual for more information.
DCCH CHANNEL STATE DURING ALL CHANNELS BUSY (Control Channels
Menu)
This parameter determines how the DCCH boosted channel behaves when all analog
and TDMA resources in the EAC are busy. See the DCCH Option Manual for more
information.
BOOSTED DVCC (Control Channels Menu)
This parameter determines the DVCC used in the EAC 2100 coverage area. This
applies to both the boosted DCCH and boosted DTC. Note that the “SAME AS
DONOR” option is no longer available. The same DVCC that is in use in the donor cell
may be used, but it must be set explicitly.
