specific handset)

Port Setting - Option

• At bottom of Port Setting Window, three options are available:

1. Enable DHCP: This option is for multi data test. Check it for single PS data call.

2. Set Port Wizard: This is enabled if XCAL is connected to the hardware box (XCAL-MO). It will assign DM Port, Modem Port and AT Port automatically.

3. Network RegEdit: Configure TCP/IP setting of the window. During data test, TCP/IP setting may affect performance.
