-Make a direct connection between the test set and a PC (not over an established LAN)

-Setup the test set and PC for the application

-Capture a screen from the test set

-Perform a PING

-Log protocol

-Use the Data Channel

Introduction

The Agilent Technologies E6701A Lab Application shortens the GPRS wireless appliance design cycle with a one-box solution for parametric and signaling design validation.

The E6701A Lab Application (LA) is an option for the Agilent 8960 Series 10 (E5515B or E5515C) Wireless Communications Test Set. With this option, R&D integration engineers working on functional verification of GPRS wireless appliance firmware and hardware now have access to a flexible, comprehensive, and easy-to-use one-box solution for quickly and accurately validating a product’s parametric and signaling design requirements.

The Agilent 8960 Test Set, the industry standard for testing cellular handsets, now accommodates many requirements of GPRS wireless appliance R&D engineers. The platform’s new E6701A software retains the measurement and call processing capability of the E1964A GPRS Mobile Test Application, which establishes a vital link between design and manufacturing. The ability to use the same equipment in R&D and production allows for a rapid and smooth transition from one phase in the product lifecycle to the next, as well as improved troubleshooting processes.

The Test Set’s protocol logging capabilities facilitate testing and troubleshooting of new signaling features and data channels, so engineers can extract better information about their designs. Two-way IP data communication, when set up between a device and a network, provides real data flow on a real data channel, enabling R&D integration engineers to test more of the data handling performance of a GPRS device. Users of the E6701A can set timing advance and cell parameters, which allows for testing and troubleshooting issues related to timing and base station configuration.
