Timeslot Configuration Summary Table

This table enables you to view the key parameters for the channels in each timeslot. Double-clicking a row activates the setup tables for that timeslot. You can use a maximum of 16 timeslots per carrier.

Opens a Closed drop-down menu of predefined channel configuration selections. Clicking a configuration replaces the current configuration in the Channel Configuration window and displays it at the top of the window.

Opens a Closed drop-down menu which allows you to automatically change the timeslot channel parameters according to a selectable pattern rather than manually editing each timeslot.

Click each of the following for descriptions of available choices.

Timeslot Number

Designates the timeslot number. You cannot edit cells in this column

Traffic Channel State

Selections: On, Off

Default: On

Sets the traffic channel state for the selected timeslot to on or off.

Traffic Channel Modulation

Selections: QPSK, 8PSK, 16QAM

Default: QPSK

Sets the traffic channel modulation type for the selected timeslot.

MAC RA State

RPC CH #

Displays the reverse power control (RPC) channel number (0 - 58). You cannot edit cells in this column

MAC Index

Designates the medium access control (MAC) Index. You cannot edit cells in this column.

Default: Off

Sets the state for each reverse power control (RPC) channel to on or off.

The access terminal will raise or lower power depending on whether a 0 or a 1 data bit is sent respectively. The data bit for each active RPC channel can be individually defined.

RPC Gain

Range: –30 dB to 30 dB

Default: –3.01 dB

Sets the reverse power control (RPC) channel gain (relative to the pilot channel).
