GPIB Command Conventions

CALL:PAGing:IDENtity[:TYPE]

Function	GSM TA	This command is not applicable to GSM.
	GPRS TA	This command is not applicable to GPRS.
	EGPRS TA	This command is not applicable to EGPRS.
	GSM/GPRS LA	This command sets/queries the Paging Identity Type parameter. The `Paging Identity Type` setting determines whether the mobile station is paged using its IMSI or TMSI. This parameter can only be set while the Call Status is Idle and the Data Connection Status is Idle. When there is a service request for a MT Point-to-Point SMS (GPRS transport type), the identifier type used is P-TMSI (Packet TMSI), regardless of the setting for this parameter. If you wish to page the mobile station using a TMSI, it is strongly recommended that the `TMSI` value be allocated to the mobile station when it registers with the test set to ensure that the mobile station recognizes the TMSI value used in the CS page request. The TMSI is allocated to the mobile station when it registers to the test set if TMSI Assignment is set to `On` . See Paging Parameters for more information. The command to set the `TMSI Assignment` is CALL[:CELL]:TMSI:ASSignment . The command to set the `TMSI` value is CALL[:CELL]:TMSI[:VALue] .
	EGPRS LA
Setting		Range: IMSI\|TMSI
Query		Range: IMSI\|TMSI
*RST Setting		IMSI
Requirements	GSM/GPRS/ EGPRS LA	Revision: E.00 and above
Programming Example OUTPUT 714;"CALL:PAGing:IDENtity TMSI" ! Set paging identity to TMSI

CALL:PAGing:IMSI

Function	GSM TA	Sets/queries the paging IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) field, used for paging the MS. The test set will stay in Active Cell Status (Setup Request), see Call Processing State Synchronization until the paging IMSI is returned if the state is on. The paging IMSI is automatically updated by the test set during an MS originated call using the IMSI reported by the MS. If the MS has no SIM, the paging IMSI is left unchanged.

Requirements	GSM/GPRS/ EGPRS TA	Revision: A.01 and above
	GSM/GPRS/ EGPRS LA	Revision: C.01 and above

Programming Example OUTPUT 714;"CALL:PAGing:IMSI `01012345678901'" ! Set paging IMSI to 01012345678901.

CALL:PAGing:MODE

Function	GSM TA	Sets/queries the paging mode that the test set will use to page the MS. Some mobile stations can be set to a discontinuous reception mode (DRX), which configures the MS to look for a page in a pre-defined paging subchannel only. When paging mode is set to Reorg (DRX off), the test set will page the MS on the paging channel in the next available paging subchannel without waiting for the defined paging group. When paging mode is set to Normal (DRX on), the test set will page the MS on the correct paging subchannel defined by the mobile station's paging group.

Programming Example OUTPUT 714;"CALL:PAGING:MODE REOR" ! MS will be sent a page on the next available paging subchannel

CALL:PAGing:MFRames

Function	GSM TA	Sets/queries the number of multiframes between paging subchannels. This parameter is used when the paging mode is normal. MFRames and IMSI are used to define the mobile station's paging group. The paging group determines when an MS can expect a page if paging mode is normal.

CALL:PAGing:REPeat[:STATe][:SELected]

Function	GSM TA	Sets/queries repeat paging state for the active (that is the selected) format. When the state is ON paging repeats until the test set receives a RACH. When the state is OFF the test set returns the No response to page timer T3113 expiry. See Fixed Timer Messages .

*RST Setting		The RST value of this command depends on the format that is currently active. For example, if the GSM format is currently active, the RST value for this command is the same value as the equivalent command containing the :GSM format identifier.

Function	GSM TA	Sets/queries repeat paging state for the GSM format. When the state is ON paging repeats until the test set receives a RACH. When the state is OFF the test set returns the No response to page timer T3113 expiry. See Fixed Timer Messages .
