The access terminal may support the transmission of the reverse traffic channel at 1843.2 kbps in subtype 2 physical layer. It negotiates with the test set in the Rate1M8Supported attribute of the Subtype 3 Reverse Traffic Channel MAC Protocol during session negotiation.
The
Rate 1M8 Supported Control
determines how the Rate1M8Supported attribute is negotiated during
Session Negotiate State
. When the
Protocol Rel
is set to
A (1xEV-DO-A)
and
Release A Physical Layer Subtype
is set to
Subtype 2
, the test set supports two session negotiation control mode for the Rate1M8Supported attribute:
When the
Rate 1M8 Supported Control
is set to
AN Specified
, the Rate1M8Supported attribute, if successfully negotiated, will use AN-requested value for the session. See
AN Specified Control Mode
. The AN-requested value for the Rate1M8Supported attribute is fixed to 'Yes' by the test set (see
Fixed Settings
).
Note that if your AT does not support Rate1M8Supported attribute value of 'Yes', session negotiation for this attribute will be rejected by the AT and an error is posted to indicate that the session open is failed. When this happens, you should change the
Rate 1M8 Supported Control
to
AT Specified
.
When the
Rate 1M8 Supported Control
is set to
AT Specified
, the Rate1M8Supported attribute, if successfully negotiated, will use AT-requested value for the session. The test set does not send any Configuration Request message for the Rate1M8Supported attribute. See
AT Specified Control Mode
. Setting the
Rate 1M8 Supported Control
to
AT Specified
is useful for some ATs that does not support Rate1M8Supported attribute value of 'Yes'.
When a session is open with the
Protocol Rel
set to
A (1xEV-DO-A)
and
Release A Physical Layer Subtype
set to
Subtype 2
, whether or not the access terminal supports 1843.2 kbps transmission on the reverse traffic channel is indicated on the
Rate 1M8 Supported In Use
field of the Configurable Attribute In Use window on the Access Network Information screen. When the session is not open, the
Rate 1M8 Supported In Use
field is set to the protocol default value of the Rate1M8Supported attribute as defined by C.S0024-A standard.
