TCP/IP Settings

In the new TCP/IP tab of the Setup menu, it is pos sible to configure the R&S CMU with the IP address information necessary for communicating with other hosts and applications through an IP network:
The CMU-B21 section provides the IP address information f or the Universal Signalling Unit CMU- B21 V14, to be used for GSM and WCDMA UE data application tests. For detailed information refer to the operating manuals for WCDMA UE Tests (R&S CMU-K61, …, K69), for the WCDMA Message Analyzer and Recorder (R&S CMU-Z46), and for (E)GPRS Application Testing (R&S CMU-K92).
The CMU-B83 section provides the IP address information f or the Universal Signalling Unit CMU- B83, to be used for CDMA2000 data application tests. For detailed information refer to the operating manuals for CDMA200 Mobile Tests (R&S CMU-K83, …, K87) and for the Message Monitor for CDMA2000 Signalling Unit (R&S CMU-B87).
Attention! If you choose static TCP/IP addressing, contact your network administrator to obtain a valid
IP address. Connection errors can affect the entire network.
The TCP/IP information is not changed after a reset (*RST) of the instrument. The default
values (factory settings) can be restored using the Default Settings switches.
TCP/IP settings are available for R&S CMU200 instruments only.

Remote
Control
1. In the Dynamic subsection, enter the CMU Hostname you wish to assign to the CMU.
2. Select dynamic Type of CMU IP Addressing.
During the IP address acquisition phase, the CMU hostname is r egistered with the DHCP server and the CMU displays the message DHCP Procedure Pending. This operation may take several seconds to complete depending on network traffic, DHCP server congestion, etc. W hen the DHCP procedure completes, the acquired addresses are be displayed in the Dynamic TCP/IP address subsection. If dynamic TCP/IP configuration f ails , the R&S CMU dis plays one of the f ailure messages listed in Table 1 below and the Ethernet interface is disabled.
Note: When the DHCP s erver on the network is running Windows Server, the
DNS is not properly notified of the CMU hostname. In order to identify the CMU by its hostname, it will be necessary to add the hostname, along with the IP address obtained from DHCP and displayed on the CMU, to the DNS table. This must be done whenever the CMU is re­booted and thus obtains a new address via DHCP. If the CMU is not added to the DNS table, the instrument mus t be identified only by its IP address.

DHCP Failure The R&S CMU contacts the DHCP server during the following scenarios:
At R&S CMU initialization (if Type of CMU IP Addressing is set to Dynamic).
At run-time when the user changes the Type of CMU IP Addressing from Static
to Dynamic.
At run-time when the lease has expired. The DHCP client is required to renew
its lease with the DHCP server when the lease duration has expired.
The DHCP procedure may fail for a number of reasons. Possible failure scenarios and error messages in the Type of CMU IP Addressing field are listed in Table 1
below. In case of a failure the Dynamic parameter field and a yellow notice box
show DHPC Failure – External Ethernet IP connection is now disabled.
Remote Control
Whenever a DHCP f ailure condition is detected, the R&S CMU takes the following actions:
The CMU200 Ethernet interface is disabled.
Bit no. 14 of the STATus:OPERation register f or the R&S CMU base system
and bit no. 1 of the extended STATus:OPERation register for the CDMA2000 function groups is set (see Chapter 5 of the CMU 200/300 manual and the CDMA2000 operating manual).
By disabling the Ethernet interface, the CMU200 will not be able to com municate with any remote host.
Dynamic CMU IP Address is set to “169.254.X.X” (where X.X is derived from
the serial number of the CMU200).
Dynamic CMU Subnet Mask is set to “255.255.0.0”.
Dynamic CMU Default Gateway address is removed.
Dynamic MS and BS PPP IP Addresses (see Chapter 8 of the CDMA2000 op-
erating manual) are set to the static MS and BS PPP IP Address values.
By maintaining these PPP IP Addresses, the CMU200 will still be able to establish SO33 data calls to a CDMA2000 mobile station. O nly the internal FTP s erver can be used to transfer data to/from the mobile since no outside communication is possible.

The TCP/IP information is not changed after a reset (*RST ) of the instrument. The default v al-
ues (factory settings) can be restored using SYSTem:TCPip:PRIMary:DEFault ON or SYSTem:TCPip:SECondary:DEFault ON.

Improved AuxTx Signal R&S CMU 200

Improved AuxTx Signal for RF Measurements (Option R&S CMU-B96)
With option CMU-B96, Additional RF Generator, the CMU provides three additional AuxTx signals:
Two low-level signals Path 1 and Path 2 can be configured with different f requencies and levels. When it is switched on the AuxTx generator activates one of the preconfigured low-level signals.
An additional Overrange signal at the frequency of the active low-level AuxT x signal but with possi- bly higher level can be generated together with the low-level signal. If it not needed, this signal can be switched off.
It is possible to superimpos e AuxTx and T x signals and to assign independent external attenuation fac­tors.
AuxTx is generated with the modulation settings of the primary Tx signal (in remote control: ...RFGenerator:MODulation...) but with no frequency hopping or ramping. Options R&S CMU­B95/B96 extend the functionality of the GSM-MS and WCDMA UE measurements, see operating manuals for options R&S CMU-K20/…/K24 and for options R&S CMU-K61/…/-K69.
The Aux Tx signals are not compatible with FM modulation. The Aux Tx generator is
switched off when the modulation mode is set to FM. It remains in the O ff state even when FM modulation is deactivated.
Options R&S CMU-B95 and R&S CMU-B96 are available for R&S CMU200 instruments
only.

Signal Configuration

The AuxTx signals are configured in the Generator tab of the Connection Control menu.

RF AuxTx Output
Tx / Aux Tx toggles between the primary RF signal Tx and the additional signals Aux Tx, to be routed to one of the RF output connectors of the instrument.
The RF signals are independent f rom each other. It is pos sible to route the signals to different RF output connectors or superimpose them at the same connector. If Aux Tx is selected, RF Tx Output changes to RF Aux Tx Output, the RF Input soft­key is replaced by Ovr. Lev. AuxTx, and Ext. Att. Input by Ext. Att. Output.

The Ovr. Lev. AuxTx sof tkey selects the output connector f or the Overrange signal (with option R&S CMU-B96). The selected RF output is indicated by a
symbol.
Note: The output connectors for the Overrange signal and the (low-level)
AuxTx signal are independent from each other. The following restriction holds for a combination of the Tx and the O verrange signal: While the Overrange signal is at RF 1 the Tx signal cannot be fed to RF 3 OUT and vice versa.
Superimposing the Overrange signal with the Tx signal at the same
output connector can impair the Tx level acc uracy. Refer to the data sheet for option R&S CMU-B96 for details.
An attenuation factor for the Overrange signal can be defined with the Ext. Att. Output softkey below Ovr. Lev. AuxTx.

R&S CMU 200 I/Q Recorder

I/Q Recorder

The I/Q Recorder (IQRecorder) provides the I/Q data that the R&S CMU200/300 acquires with differ­ent IF filter settings. After the m easurement is started, the instr ument records a predefined number of samples (CONFigure:IQRecorder:CONTrol:CLENgth). The meas urement can be s tarted explicitly (INITiate:IQRecorder, with Free Run trigger) or by an appropriate trigger source (power trigger, external trigger). The trigger settings are described on p. 6.32 ff. of the R&S CMU200/300 operating manual. A measurement-specific trigger delay can be added; see CONFig- ure:IQRecorder:CONTrol:TDELay.
Measurement results are retrieved by means of the READ:IQRecorder…, FETCh:IQRecorder…, SAMPle:IQRecorder... commands. The application provides different (complex or polar) output formats; see CONFigure:IQRecorder:RMODe. Moreover it is possible to obtain the results as comma-s eparated ASCII arrays or in binary format (keywords ARRay or BINary). Binary data transfer offers several advantages:
The transfer is f as ter and more efficient (the size of the output str ings is typically reduced by a factor of 3 to 4).
Binary data can be directly post-processed by many external applications without previous conver­sion
On the other hand, the transfer of ASCII arrays can be refined by means of subarray commands. The I/Q Recorder (IQRecorder) is a remote control application which is located in the RF function
group. There is no equivalent measurement menu in manual control. The performance of the application is improved with option R&S CMU-U65, Measurement DSP for
WCDMA; see overview below. Table 1 I/Q Recorder performance with option R&S CMU-U65
