Required Equipment

Test equipment and other items required for testing are shown in Figure 1-2 and

described in the following paragraphs.

Test Equipment

The Test Software is written specifically to work with the Agilent Technologies 8935

Series E6380A CDMA Base Station Test Set.

Personal Computer (PC)

The Test Set and Test Software support using a PC to control the site via the MSC. This

allows you to dial up or use a telnet connection to log in to the MSC and enter the

maintenance craft shell as you would ordinarily for other cell site operations. The PC is

connected to the Test Set via the SERIAL 9 port. Most PCs with an available serial port

are compatible with the Test Set.

You must install the BTS Laptop Utility program in the PC, so as to relay commands to

the MSC from Test Set, collect test data, log commands sent between the Test Set and

the MSC, and capture screen images.

Cables and Adapters

Various cables and adapters are required. These may be purchased from Agilent

Technologies or from local sources. See “Accessory Kits” on page 17 for information on

optional accessory kits that supply the necessary cables and adapters to connect the Test

Set to the Base Station equipment.
