Equipment Commissioning
102 RFN_3.1 Beta
The iFTA tool shall be used in “Single Cell” mode and idle RSSI and SQE
values shall be recorded for control channel for at least one hour per sector,
while the mobile remains fixed.
A second test per sector shall be performed in “Single Cell” mode while
walking the facility for approximately 15 minutes.
2 SQE and RSSI Variation Test for all 4 iDEN Channels
In this test, the iFTA shall be placed in “Monitor Many” mode and idle RSSI
and SQE values shall be recorded for all iDEN channels for at least one hour
per sector while the mobile remains fixed.
These tests shall be conducted over a period of 3 days and minimally 3 times in
a 24-hour period.
5.6.1.8 System Self-Recovery Test
The following test is to determine the RFS’ ability to recover from various iSC-3
conditions.
1 Loss of T1
While the RFS is operating, the T1 connection to the iSC-3 will be
disconnected for one minute and then reconnected. System recovery will be
monitored and validated by placing a successful call on each sector.
2 iSC-3 Power Loss
While the RFS is operating, the iSC-3 shall be power cycled and system
recovery will be monitored and validated by placing a successful call on each
sector.
3 Loss of GPS
While the RFS is operating, the GPS connection to the iSC-3 will be
disconnected until all Satellites are lost and then reconnected. System
recovery will be monitored and validated by placing a successful call on each
sector.
4 New data-fill download
System recovery will be verified by pushing a new data-fill download to the
iSC-3.
5.6.1.9 Packet Data Stability and Throughput
The Packet Data stability and throughput to the Internet will be verified. A
tethered Packet Data connection will be set up on a laptop and speed tested by
using the www.bandwidthplace.com
website. This continuous download of data
stream will validate system stability and help to quantify user experience of
Packet Data over the RadioFrame System.
