1.4. Security Information Description

1.4.1. Working Environment

Environment Requirements

SP8300 TD-LTE Protocol Analyze Tester（hereinafter referred to as SP8300）is for Class II

equipment installation, and it is properly to run indoor environment as 2nd level pollution degree.

The working temperature is +5 ℃ to + 45 ℃, the maximum working relative humidity is 80%,

and the maximum working altitude is 2000m.

Ventilation Requirements

If the instruments are installed in the cabinet, the cabinet should ventilate freely. If the total

power dissipation inside of the cabinet is above 800W, the forced ventilation is required.

Voltage requirements

110-230V～5.0A,47-63Hz.

1.4.2. Notes

Three preventions

2. SP8300 System

SP8300 TD-LTE Protocol Analyze Tester is composed of SP8300, R&D

Environment.

SP8300 is the core of the entire system, responsible for simulating TD-LTE L1, L2,

L3 protocol stack and offering the testing environment. SP8300 L3 is developed on

the basis of TTCN-3; L2 functions as an entity integrated with MAC, RLC and

PDCP; and L1 offers physical layer of TD-LTE, capable to intimate two TD-LTE

cells within 20M Hz.

R&D Environment is a platform for users to develop test samples, for which the

hardware entity is the users’ own norm notebook PC or desktop computer. StarPoint

software can be run on it including Log Tracer. Other recommended software for

installation include IBM Rational System Tester 3.3 and Microsoft Visual C++2008.

The customer develops TD-LTE testing script with TTCN-3, the testing script loads

with the complete adpater library provided by the StarPoint. Executable test suite can

be compiled under the environment of Microsoft Visual C++2008. Log Tracer is the

tool for the analysis of the testing results.
