Map, is an important concept and process in BTS software, because the channels you see in the testers are actual channels, but the channels you see in the software client, are the virtual ones. So MAP is the operation that connect the physical channels with the virtual channels in the software, so this makes it possible for you to test the battery on the real channels, but get the correlative data from the software client.
Below picture presents you the relationship of real channels on board and mapping channels in software.
Right click in the main content area, Navigate to Reset Map. This will prompt a dialogue guiding you set the map. You can see Device 11 has total 32 main channels (index from 0) and 224 auxiliary channels. You can map them.
You can drag the channels from left list to the right blank column. The bigger rectangle is for main channel, and smaller for auxiliary channel. You can arrange how many main channels in one row.
The BTS Client provides 8 channels, 16 channels or 32 channels for you to choose.
For auxiliary channels, BTS Client provides 2 options. You can assign equal channel quantity for all the main channels. (Each get 7 auxiliary channels if you assign 224 auxiliary channels to 32 main channels)
Or you can make the channels have smaller unit number prior to hold auxiliary channels. (1 main channel can max hold 248 auxiliary channels, but default setting is max 16 auxiliary channels.224 auxiliary channels for 32 main channels, Only the first 14 main channels will host auxiliary channels, and each has 16 auxiliary channels.)
If you want to have all the 224 auxiliary channels assigned to the single one main channel, you should double click on the mapped main channel to prompt dialogue. Use “default map” to assign all the auxiliary channels to the main channel you selected.
Note of ‘Mapping Operation’
1. Too many auxiliary channels mapped will expand data. Removing unnecessary auxiliary channels before testing is highly recommended.
2. When you get a cross mapping for the channels, you should clearly know how they are mapped.
3. A maximum number of 248 for the auxiliary channels could be assigned for one main channel.
