Timeslots: Advanced 1xEV-DO Rev.A Forward

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

Opens a drop-down menu which allows you to select a pattern to apply to all 16 timeslots rather than manually editing the parameters for individual timeslots.

Click each of the following for descriptions of available choices.
