Using RSS, Connecting an iDEN Unit to the R-2660

PREPARING FOR FIELD LEVEL TESTING: Using RSS

•Do not wear nylon clothing when handling any printed-circuit board.

•Prior to touching any printed-circuit board, touch an electrical ground to remove any static charge that might have accumulated.

Refer to Service and Repair Note SRN-F1052 for more information. This note is available through:

Motorola Literature Distribution Center

2290 Hammond Drive

Schaumburg, IL 60173 847-576-2826

The following should be considered when storing or transporting a circuit board:

•Place the printed-circuit board in conductive, anti-static material.

•Do not insert the printed-circuit board into conventional plastic “snow” trays used for transporting other devices.

7.2Using RSS

Use Radio Service Software (RSS) to program a new software version or to update user information in the codeplug. Refer to “Connecting the Unit to the RSS Workstation” and the Radio Service Software User’s Guide for information on the setup and use of RSS.

NOTE: You can use the RSS online Help for locating specific information about RSS dialog boxes and fields. To access online Help, press F1 while you are viewing an RSS screen.

If you are using the R-2660A Communications System Analyzer in the iDEN mode, which is 6:1 capable, use RSS to program an i580 unit for Full Rate operation. Use the 6:1 Interconnect softkey for all interconnect testing.

If you are using the R-2660B or later, which is 3:1 capable, use RSS to program an i580 unit for Half Rate operation. Use the 3:1 Interconnect softkey for all interconnect testing.

In the carrier version of RSS (but not the agent version), you can change interleave values. To access the fields where you can change these interleave values, go to the User Ergonomics dialog box, and then click on the Interleave tab.

NOTE: After servicing a unit, use RSS to reprogram the unit back to its original operating state.

Refer to the R-2660 Digital Communications System Analyzer Operator’s Manual for more information on how to set up this equipment for iDEN mode testing.

7.3Connecting an iDEN Unit to the R-2660

The R-2660 Communications System Analyzer enables you to monitor and perform tests on iDEN units. Figure 7-1 shows a typical R-2660 test setup.

Equipment Required: R-2660, reference SIM card, SMA to N-type RF coaxial cable, battery eliminator, 5.0-12.0 Vdc power supply.
