3. Execute CALLSO to clear call processing status. 4. Execute CALLSTAT? to confirm the call processing status is 1 (= Idle). 5. Turn on UE power. 6. Execute CALLSTATIC? to confirm the call processing stationary status is 6 (= Connected). 7. Repeat step 6 when the checked status is not 6 (= Connected).

12

2.4 Test Mode Disconnection After connecting to the Test Mode, disconnection is performed if necessary.

1. Execute CALLSO to disconnect from Test Mode. 2. Execute CALLSTATIC? to confirm the call processing stationary status is 1 (= Idle (Regist)).

2.5 Broadcast Information Update When changing broadcast information, the UE must be notified of the change using the following methods.

A) Turn UE power OFF and ON Turn the UE power OFF and ON to update the broadcast information.

1. Disconnect Test Mode (2.4). 2. Turn off UE power. 3. Turn on UE power. 4. Execute CALLSTATIC? to confirm the call processing status is 6 (= Connected).

Repeat steps 4 when the checked status is not 6 (= Connected).

NOTE 1: This procedure is required to update the broadcast information.

For details of GPIB commands and manual operation, refer to the NB-IoT operation manual. GPIB commands are in red bold. At Normal UE, the UE power class is assumed to be Class 3. Before starting TRX measurement, do the following to ensure the call processing status is connected.

* Windows is registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation in the USA and other countries. NOTES: There is no need to connect the server PC and MT8821C with a router when testing IP data transfer

using IPv6. Connect the server PC and MT8821C as shown above. The IPv6 address is assigned automatically to the UE in use. A UE not supporting automatic IPv6

address assignment uses the IP address set at IPv6Client IP Address of the MT8821C. Check that the UE supports IPv6 before testing IP data transfer using IPv6. Connect the UE and

MT8821C to check the PDN Type on the UE Report screen. The UE supports IPv6 when either IPv4v6 or IPv6 is displayed in PDN Type on the UE Report screen.

The IPv6 address set by this procedure matches the IP address set at [IPV6 Server IP Address ] of the MT8821C. To check [IPV6 Server IP Address ] of the MT8821C, refer to Figure 4.1.2.2.2-4. IPv6 address: 2001::2 Subnet prefix length: 64

NOTE: Places in the address with contiguous 0s are abbreviated as::. For example, IPv6 Server IP Address

2001:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0002 is abbreviated to 2001::2. For Phone1 and/or Phone2, set the same IPv6 addresses in Call Processing→Packet→[IPv6 Server IP

Address] parameter. Set Phone1 [IPv6 Server IP Address] to Application Server1 IPv6 address and set Phone2 [IPv6 Server IP Address] to Application Server2 IPv6 address.

(MT8821C) 4.1.4.2. IPv6 This measurement can be performed using the same procedure as in Chapter 4.1.4.1, by substituting the following steps.

1. Set [IPv6 Server IP Address] to 2001::2. 2. Set [IPv6 Client IP Address] to 2001::1.

Location Registration and Packet Connection 4.1.5.4.1.5.1. IPv4 Perform UE location registration and packet connection.

1. Connect the UE to the MT8821C. 2. Switch on the UE. 3. Wait for packet communication from the mobile terminal to be established.

The MT8821C Call Processing status changes from IdleRegistrationConnected. 4. Press Single to set Input level near to the Tx power measurement result.

Run the Ping command from the Command Prompt window of the client or application server to confirm the IP connection. The following figure shows the result for the application server.

Figure 4.1.5.1-1 Ping Result at Application Server

5. Change UL RMC and DL RMC of the Common Parameter Setting screen to change the Transport Block Size

(TBS).

6. Press [Single] to confirm that the MT8821C downlink signal can be decoded at the UE by using the DL

Throughput and the Block Error Rate results of the Fundamental Measurement screen. If there is an error, change the RMC settings or Level setting, and repeat steps 5 and 6.

4.1.5.2. IPv6 This measurement can be performed using the same settings as in Chapter 4.1.5.1, by substituting the following steps.

4. Open Command Prompt at the client PC and run the “ipconfig” command. As shown at the following

Command Prompt screen, the IPv6 address of the UE starts with the prefix 2001 and has a different

Interface ID from the Local Link address. NOTES: Interface ID specifies the least-significant 64 bits of the IPv6 address. The IP address starting with 2001::xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx at the Command Prompt screen shown below, is

called the global address. On the other hand, the IP address starting with fe80::xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx is called the local link address.

A UE not supporting automatic IPv6 address assignment uses the IP address set at IPv6Client IP Address of the MT8821C.

This chapter describes ping execution and TCP/UDP throughput verification using Iperf in the MT8821C NB-IoT measurement software.

ping 4.2.1. The following procedure describes the ping execution sequence for an IPv4 Packet-connected UE. The ping command is as follows.

ping 192.168.20.11 -w 40000 -l 32 -S 192.168.20.10 1. Perform IPv4 connection procedure in chapter 4.1.5 and 4.1.6 to establish UE Packet connection. 2. Execute PINGDSTIP S1,192,168,20,11 to set PING - Destination IPv4 Address of server 1 to 192.168.20.11. 3. Execute PINGIP S1,IPV4 to set PING - IP Type of server 1 to IPv4. 4. Execute PINGW S1,40000 to set PING - Interval of server 1 to 40000. 5. Execute PINGL S1,32 to set PING - Buffer Size of server 1 to 32 byte. 6. Execute RSLTAREA IPDATATAB to open IP Data tab. 7. Execute PINGSINGLS S1 to execute ping. 8. Confirm the result of the ping on the screen.

NOTE: Use Application Server1,2 IP address described in chapter 4.1.2 as the server address where the

ping is sent. The server address is specified by the “-s” option in the ping command.

Iperf 4.2.2.*This is not supported yet. It will be supported in future.
