Field Test Display, i.e. engineering test mode, is a configurable software feature which is available through MMI menu. Field Test Display is useful for testing mobile phones during development or for verifying the operation of the network. 1.1 Changes for 61xx series (compared to 8110I series) General changes: - 12 character lines (13 in HD843). - MNC (Mobile Network Code) in displays 6 and 11 has now 3 digits. - SIM SCM is used instead of B-memory SCM in displays 17, 52 and 53. Moved displays - Display 2 moved to display 3, 3 to 4, 4 to 5 and 5 to 6. Moved items - Places of C1 and C2 changed in display 1. - Reason of last call release copied to display 2 Removed displays: - Displays that were not implemented in 8110 (i.e. removed only from specification) - Display 6: Start latest cell information saving - Display 7: Information of the latest and 2nd latest cell/time slot - Display 8: Information of the 3rd and 4th latest cell/time slot - Display 9: Information of the fifth latest cell/time slot New items: - Display 21: - Sum of membership function sets beliefs New displays: - Display 2: More information of the serving cell - items moved from display 1: - paging mode - maximum number of Random Access retransmission - roaming indicator - BSIC value - Reason of last call release - RX quality (full) - C2 parameters - Hopping flag, MAIO and HSN - Display 8: HSCSD display 1 - Display 9: HSCSD display 2 2 Using the Field Test Display When the Field Test Display is active, the phone works in a similar way as without it, except that the arrow buttons (^,v) scroll through the various tests, whereas they would scroll through the memory locations while the Field Test Display is inactive. The test numbers that are not valid are not scrolled. The Field Test Display appears as a so called soft indicator, which means that it is visible only if there is nothing else to display. For example, once the first digit of a phone number has been dialled, the Field Test Display disappears and the digit appears. After the whole number has been dialled and a call setup has started, the number disappears and the Field Test Display reverts. When the Field Test Display is active and mobile originated call setup is going, 'CALLING XXXXX' text is not shown. However, if some call divert is active, 'note diverts' text is viewed. When keyguard is active, keyguard texts (or icons) are disabled and Field Test Display is visible. Pressing a key views normal keyguard texts. When user activates the keyguard, keyguard note is shown shortly. During proper power off (use of power key or RE-CHARGE indication) some valuable data (e.g. the number of current field test display) is stored onto the EEPROM. Next time when the phone is powered on the lastly selected field test display will be automatically re-activated. 2.1 Activating the Field Test Display The Field Test Display is located at the end of the main menu loop. It is activated as follows: - press the Menu button - scroll in the main menu loop to field test display item (NETWORK MONITOR) - press the Select button - enter the index number of the test to be activated at the TEST NUMBER prompt - confirm with the Ok button The field test data will then appear in a moment. The index number of the test will appear in the top right corner of the display. If given test number is not valid "No Test" -text will appear to the display. A quicker way to activate the Field Test Display is to use the menu shortcut. The field test display is the last item in the main menu loop. The shortcut activation of the field test display is done in the following way: MENU If the last number of the main menu loop is e.g. 8, in order to activate test display number 20, just press Menu, 8, 20 and Ok in a sequence. See chapter 2.5 for recommendations. 2.2 Deactivating the Field Test Display The Field Test Display is deactivated as follows: - press the Menu button - scroll in the main menu loop to field test display item - press the Select button - enter 0 at the TEST NUMBER prompt - confirm with the Ok button 2.3 Field test modes There are three Field Test Display modes: - execute mode - data display mode - help mode Different modes are marked in this specification as follows: ************** ++++++++++++++ ############## * * + + # # * Execute * +Data display+ # Help # * Mode * + Mode + # Mode # * * + + # # ************** ++++++++++++++ ############## The execute mode is entered from the menu as described in 2.1 (either scroll and select or shortcut). If the test index entered pertains to a test that resets a timer (test 80) for example, then the timer is reset as soon as the Ok button has been pressed in the menu, and the data display mode takes over. In other words, the execute mode is of the one-shot type. To run another test in the execute mode, the Field Test Display menu must be re-activated. During the data display mode, the field test data (e.g. carrier, power level, cell) is visible on the main display. During the help mode, one screen of instructions is shown for each test to make it easier to identify the test in question. A long press of asterisk (*) is used to toggle between these two modes. The arrow keys (^,v) offer an easy way to switch to another test without using the menu. However, the data display mode remains, i.e. nothing will be executed or set on although such tests would be passed. This is to prevent the user from accidentally clearing any valuable data. (see 3.7.2 for details and 2.5 for recommendations). The help mode is also a non-execute mode. Display numbers have been selected in such way that no 5-terminated test number is an execute display. 2.4 Signal and battery levels When Field Test Display is active, normal signal and battery level bars are visible. 2.5 Reserving SIM SCM locations (recommendations) When starting to use a SIM-card in a phone with field test displays, it is recommended to put some default data into SIM SCM locations that are used by field test displays. This prevents accidental storing of phone numbers and names into such locations. SIM SCM Recommended Recommended Location used location number text (name) by display -------------------------------------------------------- 33 0 BTS TEST 17 Reserving SIM SCM locations is not necessary if the user is sure that he/she will never select these displays using menu shortcut (which executes the display). In 61xx series (DCT3) phones it is not possible to select the SIM location number where the number and the name will be stored. So, reserving a SIM location must be done by some PC software or, for example, by 8110i (DCT2) phone. 3 Information on the displays Length of a field is shown in the display picture by amount of the letters. If a value is not available, 'x' is shown for all the digits. If data to be displayed is shorter than the field reserved to show that data, text is aligned left and numbers right. 3.1 Signalling displays, which can be visible to network operators Those signalling displays which can be activated by the network operators are numbered from 1 to 19. Before field test displays are visible, mobile has to be modified. With the normal production mobile field test displays are not working. 3.1.1 Display 1: Information of the serving cell ++++++++++++++ +abbb ccc ddd+ + e ff g mmmm+ + nnn ppp+ + oooo + ++++++++++++++ a H, if carrier numbers are scrolled when hopping is on.

For a multi band MS the number of cells, for each frequency band supported, which shall be included in the measurement report is indicated by the parameter, MULTIBAND_REPORTING. The meaning of different values of the parameter is specified as follows: Value Meaning 0 (00) Normal reporting of the six strongest cells, with known and allowed NCC part of BSIC, irrespective of the band used. 1 (01) The MS shall report the strongest cell, with known and allowed NCC part of BSIC, in each of the frequency bands in the BA list, excluding the frequency band of the serving cell. The remaining positions in the measurement report shall be used for reporting of cells in the band of the serving cell. If there are still remaining positions, these shall be used to report the next strongest identified cells in the other bands irrespective of the band used. 2 (10) The MS shall report the two strongest cells, with known and allowed NCC part of BSIC, in each of the frequency bands in the BA list, excluding the frequency band of the serving cell. The remaining positions in the measurement report shall be used for reporting of cells in the band of the serving cell. If there are still remaining positions, these shall be used to report the next strongest identified cells in the other bands irrespective of the band used. 3 (11) The MS shall report the three strongest cells, with known and allowed NCC part of BSIC, in each of the frequency bands in the BA list, excluding the frequency band of the serving cell. The remaining positions in the measurement report shall be used for reporting of cells in the band of the serving cell. If there are still remaining positions, these shall be used to report the next strongest identified cells in the other bands irrespective of the band used.

Neighbour measurements Neighbour measurements are done. are not done. This display is used to toggle BTS_TEST status on EEPROM. If BTS_TEST status is set on EEPROM each time the mobile sends a search list it uses only the carrier number stored on SIM SCM-location 33. Also the neighbour information from system information messages is ignored. If the BTS_TEST status is not set, then the value of SIM SCM-location 33 is ignored and the mobile behaves normally (i.e. does the neighbour measurements according the GSM specifications). To activate BTS tests perform following steps: - Save desired channel number in SIM SCM-location 33. - Select display 17 in execute mode - Switch power off and on If activation succeeded, there is text "BTS TEST ON" in display 17. To deactivate BTS tests either select display 17 in execute mode or save number 0 in SIM SCM-location 33 and switch power off and on. NOTE! The display does not show the value of BTS_TEST status in EEPROM. Although the value is set, bts test can be off. If there is not legal carrier number in SIM location 33 (GSM: 1-124, DCS1800: 512-885) the display shows that bts test is off. Also if the mobile was already registered to some carrier before switching BTS_TEST status, the display can show different value from the one in EEPROM. See chapter 2.5 for recommendations.
