The following settings can only be changed when call status is Idle . If BCCH Update Page is set to Auto and you change these settings while your UE is camped to the test set, the test set performs a Broadcast Channel (BCCH) Update Procedure (SIB Contents). If BCCH Update Page is set to Inhibit (the default value) and you change these settings while your UE is camped to the test set, you must force your UE to re-read the BCCH to observe the change. T300 RRC Conn Req Retransmit Timer This setting determines how long the UE waits for the RRC Connection Setup after sending an RRC Connection Setup Request. T300 can be set to one of the following values: 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1400, 1600, 1800, 2000, 3000, 4000, 6000, 8000 ms.

T312 Link Establishment Timer (Idle) This setting determines how long the UE waits for an N312 "in-sync" indication from layer 1 when establishing a dedicated channel and the connection status is Idle. According to 3GPP TS 25.331 table 10.3.3.44, The value 0 is not used. T312 can be set to any integer value from 1 to 15.

T312 Link Establishment Timer (Connected)

This setting determines how long the UE waits for an N312 "in-sync" indication from layer 1 when establishing a dedicated channel in connected status. According to 3GPP TS 25.331 table 10.3.3.43, The value 0 is not used.

GPIB Command: CALL[:CELL]:BCCHannel:T312:CONNected

N312 Link Establishment In-Sync Count (Idle) This setting specifies the number of " in-syncs" required when establishing a dedicated channel when the connection status is Idle. N312 can be set to one of the following values: 1, 2, 4, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000.

GPIB Command: CALL[:CELL]:BCCHannel:N312[:IDLE]

N312 Link Establishment In-Sync Count (Conn.) This setting specifies the number of " in-syncs" required when establishing a dedicated channel in connected status. N312 can be set to one of the following values: 1, 2, 4, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000.

GPIB Command: CALL[:CELL]:BCCHannel:N312:CONNected

T313 Out-of-Sync Reception Timer 3GPP TS 25.331 8.5.6 states that after receiving N313 consecutive "out of sync" indications from layer 1 (see N313 Successive Out-Of-Sync Reception Max ), the UE shall start the T313 timer. Upon receiving N315 successive "in sync" indications from layer 1 ( N315 Successive In-Sync Reception Counter ), the UE shall stop and reset the T313 timer. If T313 expires, a "Radio Link failure" has occurred, and the UE shall drop the call.
