Top left ('serving cell') are all data elements which can be retreived from the
BCCH :
- CI and LA, respectively in hexadecimal und decimal notation
- the ARFCN of the BCCH
- MCC and MNC of the current network
- NCC, BCC and the resulting BSIC (decimal!)
- the maximum allowed transmission power MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH in dBm and
Watt
- RXLEV_ACCESS_MIN and C1
- the power level Lp in dBm and converted to
RSSI
- the electric field strength level Le in dBuV/m (*)
- the electric field strength E in V/m and the flux density S
in W/m2 (*)
(*): the calculation is based on the sum of the power levels from all
neighboring cells.
Middle left ('ded.mode') are all data elements which can be retreived in
'dedicated mode'. The last readings remain displayed, but are marked as 'ded.
mode (last measure)' :
- TA as value and converted to distance
- ARFCN and TimeSlot of the traffic channel
- the assigned transmission power in dBm and Watt
- RXQUAL as value and converted to the assumed bit error rate
- the type of channel used
In the middle of the window, the actual reception level is displayed, with its
numerical value shown on top.
On the right side of the window you find a graphical representation of the list
of neighboring cells (NCELL-list). The horizontal lines are at -50 dBm, -80 dBm
and -95 dBm, the NCELL-list is below the picture. The meanings are :
- CHN : the channelnumber
- RS : RSSI for this channel
- LEV : RXLEV for this channel
- PLMN : PLMN for this channel
- LAI : LAI for this channel
- N : NCC
- B : BCC
- C1, C2 : calculated C1 and C2 values for this cell
Bottom left ('do...') you may select the operator to monitor (netmonitor data
is shown even when the module is in 'not registered'-state). If the module is
registered, you may initiate a testcall with 'start'.
You have to configure the data for the testcall in monitor.ini
beforehand. |
