GPIB Command Conventions

CALL:PAGing[:SLEVel][:SELected]

Function

The setting form of this command performs two functions: (1) sets the PCH (forward paging channel) level, and (2) turns the PCH on/off state to ON.

The query form returns the PCH level.

The optional [:SELected] keyword in this command specifies that the PCH level and state being set/queried applies to the current system type. See CALL[:CELL]:SYSTem[:TYPE] to query or change the current system type.

Setting

Range: 0 to -20 dB

Query

Range: 0 to -20 dB, NAN

*RST Setting

-12 dB

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"CALL:PAGING:SLEVEL:SELECTED -10"

CALL:PAGing:DRATe

Function

Sets/queries the forward paging channel (PCH) data rate. FULL indicates 9.6 kbps and HALF indicates 4.8 kbps.

Setting

Range: FULL|HALF

Query

Range: FULL|HALF

*RST Setting

FULL

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"CALL:PAGING:DRATE HALF"
!Sets the PCH data rate to 4.8 kbps.

CALL:PAGing:GPMessage:MODE

Function

Sets/queries the General Page Message mode.

Setting

Range: VARiable | HFRame1|HFRame2 | HFRame3 | HFRame4 | HFRame5 | HFRame6 |HFRame7 | HFRame8

Query

Range: VAR | HFR1|HFR2 | HFR3 | HFR4 | HFR5 | HFR6 |HFR7 | HFR8

*RST Setting

VAR

Requirements

Test Application Revision: B.16.00 and above

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"CALL:PAGing:GPMessage:MODE VAR"
!Sets the General Page Message mode to VARiable.

CALL:PAGing:IMSI:TYPE

Function

Sets/queries the international mobile subscriber identity IMSI type.

This parameter will be overwritten when a new MSIN (Mobile Station Identification Number) is reported by the mobile station during registration.

Setting

Range: ALL|MCMS|MNMS|MSIN

MCMS = mobile country code (MCC) + mobile station identification number (MSIN)
MNMC = mobile network code (MNC) + mobile station identification number (MSIN)
MSIN = mobile station identification number (MSIN) only.

Query

Range: ALL|MCMS|MNMS|MSIN

*RST Setting

ALL

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"CALL:PAGING:IMSI:TYPE MCMS"

CALL:PAGing:IMSI:MCC

Function

Sets/queries the mobile country code.

This parameter will be overwritten when a new MSIN (Mobile Station Identification Number) is reported by the mobile station during registration. If paging MCC is reported by the mobile station and there are fewer digits than expected, the test set will assume leading zeroes.

Setting

Range: 3 digit string, enclosed by quotes

Query

same as setting

*RST Setting

310

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"CALL:PAGING:IMSI:MCC '222'"

CALL:PAGing:IMSI:MNC

Function

Sets/queries the mobile network code.

This parameter will be overwritten when a new MSIN (Mobile Station Identification Number) is reported by the mobile station during registration. If paging MNC is reported by the mobile station and there are fewer digits than expected, the test set will assume leading zeroes.

Setting

Range: 2 digit string, enclosed by quotes

Query

same as setting

*RST Setting

00

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"CALL:PAGING:IMSI:MNC '10'"

CALL:PAGing:IMSI:MSIN

Function

Sets/queries the mobile country code.

This parameter will be overwritten when a new MSIN (Mobile Station Identification Number) is reported by the mobile station during registration. If paging MSIN is reported by the mobile station and there are fewer digits than expected, the test set will assume leading zeroes.

Setting

Range: 10 digit string, enclosed by quotes

Query

same as setting

*RST Setting

5099214001

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"CALL:PAGING:IMSI:MSIN '5099213572'" 
!sets the paging IMSI MSIN to 5099213572.

CALL:PAGing:LEVel[:SELected]

Function

Sets/queries the paging level.

The optional [:SELected] keyword in this command specifies that the paging channel level being set/queried applies to the current system type. See CALL[:CELL]:SYSTem[:TYPE] to query or change the current system type.

Setting

Range: 0 to -20 dB

Query

Range: 0 to -20 dB, NAN

*RST Setting

-12 dB

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"CALL:PAGING:LEVEL:SELECTED -10"

CALL:PAGing:PNUMber

Function

Sets/queries the paging phone number. When the mobile station registers, the 34 bit mobile identification number (MIN) is used to set the MS reported phone number and paging phone number. If the MIN does not translate into a valid phone number, the ms reported phone number and paging phone number are set to 0000000000. This setting is overwritten when the phone number is updated.

When setting the paging number, the value is entered as a string (not as a numeric entry). Be sure to enclose the paging number in single quotes.

Setting

Range: up to 10 characters: 0 through 9, or null, enclosed by quotes

Query

same as setting

*RST Setting

null

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"CALL:PAGING:PNUMBER '8005551212'"
!Set the paging number to 8005551212.

CALL:PAGing:SCINdex[:MAXimum]

Function

Sets/queries the maximum slot cycle index.

The test set will page the mobile station using slotted mode unless the mobile station has registered as non-slotted. The test set will use the lesser value of maximum slot cycle index or CALL:MS:REPorted:SCINdex? for slotted paging.

Setting

Range: 0 to 7

Query

Range: 0 to 7

*RST Setting

1

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"CALL:PAGING:SCINDEX 2"

CALL:PAGing:STATe[:SELected]

Function

Sets/queries the forward paging channel on/off state.

The optional [:SELected] keyword in this command specifies that the paging channel state being set/queried applies to the current system type. See CALL[:CELL]:SYSTem[:TYPE] to query or change the current system type.

Setting

Range: 1|ON|0|OFF

Query

Range: 1|0

*RST Setting

1 (on)

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"CALL:PAGING:STATE:DIGITAL2000 OFF" 
!Sets the IS-2000 paging on/off state to off.

CALL:PAGing:MERRor:PROCedure:PARameter:CLEar

CALL:PAGing:MERRor:PROCedure:STARt

Function

This command is used to start the Paging MER test procedure. It's valid only when a call is established and paging channel is active.

See Paging Channel MER Procedures for details.

Requirements

Lab Application Revision: B.01 and above

CALL:PAGing:MERRor:PROCedure:STOP

Function

This command is used to stop the Paging MER test procedure after which the Slotted Paging MER ( CALL:STATus:PAGing:MERRor:RATio[:SLOTed]? ) is calculated. It's valid only when a call is established and the Paging MER test procedure is still in progress (initiated by the CALL:PAGing:MERRor:PROCedure:STARt ).

See Paging Channel MER Procedures for details.
