This Conformance Script Package is a suite of scripts that tests the mobile device for conformance to a subset of the 3GPP2 Signaling Conformance Specification for cdma2000 Wireless Networks (3GPP2 C.S0037). The scripts control the Agilent E5515C via a GPIB 488 interface and the MIP-5850 mobile IP simulator via an ethernet interface. The user is expected to be versed in the operation of these devices. While the script controls the MIP-5850 and the test set, the user is required to control the mobile device under test. This is accomplished via script initiated popup prompts that describe specific action that the user should take (such as starting or ending a call) or information defining a particular mode for the mobile device (such as set to Simple IP mode).

Figure 1-1. Test Setup Overview

The previous figure shows the complete Mobile IP network test system. The Agilent E5515C communications test set provides the required cdma2000 radio network emulation and control, containing the radio link, call setup, and Inter-Working Function (IWF) needed for packet data communications. Please note that the MIP-5850 supports only a single mobile station. The MIP-5850 provides the additional IP network elements needed to complete the Mobile IP network simulation environment, namely the simulated PDSN, Foreign Agent (FA), and Home Agent (HA). The PC provides the platform that runs the Conformance Scripts and is used to configure and control the MIP-5850.
