Defining a Frequency Plan
When running the Full Cell Site Test mode (see “Full Site Test (FCC)” on page 65), you
must provide information to the Test Software on the radios in the site being tested. This
is done using frequency plans. Frequency plans are defined on a per site basis. There
must be one plan for each site to be tested.
Once a plan is defined, you may store it on an SRAM card for later use for modification.
The Test Software supports two methods for entering the information into a frequency
plan. The first method uses an editor that is part of the Test Software. In this method, all
plan entry is done on the Test Set front panel. The second method uses an external PC
with an editing program. In this method, the plan is defined and then downloaded to the
Test Set for storage.
Defining a Frequency Plan Using the Editor in the Test Software
The process of defining a frequency plan using the editor function of the Test Software
requires saving the frequency plan on an SRAM card. Before beginning the plan
definition, make certain that an initialized SRAM card is available for file storage.
Step 1. From the Lucent AMPS Test Main Menu, select the Calibration/Utilities field. The
Test Software will display the Calibration/Utilities Menu screen.
Step 2. Select the Define Frequency Plan field. The Test Software will display the Define
Frequency Plan screen (see Figure 2-13). Note that the display is divided into two parts.
The top of the screen is used to perform file functions, and the lower part is used to edit
the data. Scroll to the Cell Site field and enter the number of the site for which the
plan is to be defined. To do this, either turn the knob to the desired site number and
press the knob to select that number, or use the DATA ENTRY keys to enter a site
number and either press the
Enter key or press the knob to select that number.
